Extrovert Bunny

I feel like this design is really mean spirited (the evil expression, saying extroverts want to ‘drag’ people out of their shells) and made by someone who doesn’t like extroverted people and is generalising a bunch and that makes me sad

Why do they have an angry, evil face? That feels really mean. Also, not every extrovert likes to party. Some of us have sensory issues that stop us doing that. I love talking to people and hanging out just chatting but loud noises are scary

Like Hope’s comments above, the bunnies are supposed to be generalized. I myself am an extrovert and my daughter is an introvert. While I don’t always party, I’d be the someone to “paint the town red” Certainly not in a literal sense. To me the paint and the party hat signify the exuberance an extrovert has. Granted the scary smile looks more scary than devil may care, but how does it convey not caring about others? How do you make a stuffed bunny show that it cares about others? This design has nothing to do with others. Only to convey the generalization of extroverts. The same as the introvert bunny. Other than scary face on this one, i love it and will add to my growing collections

Although I do think the facial expression does seem a little mean or devious, I don’t really agree that anything else about this design implies that extroverts don’t care about others. I don’t understand how people are getting that from this. First of all, these plushies that are about psychology, mental illness, physical illness, or LGBTQ+ will ALWAYS be generalized. Because everyone is different even when they identify as the same thing or have the same condition. But it’s impossible to include everything that everyone feels so they always just go with what’s most common or well known about the subject. In my opinion, this design feels good for extroversion. Extroverts are more commonly seen out and about, less neurotic so less worried about what others think about them, more likely to bring others (introverts) out of their shells. The only iffy thing is the facial expression and it does kind of give an overall vibe of clown. But I absolutely don’t see anything about it that implies that extroverts don’t care about others. Not caring what others THINK about them is not the same as not caring about others.

Something about this one rubs me the wrong way… just because someone is an extrovert doesn't mean they're never concerned with what other people think about them. The angry-happy expression also gives off deviousness, which feels like it's reinforcing the stereotype that extroverts are just popular bullies? I agree with the other commenter saying that these personality types might be a bit hard to represent visually as not all extroverts/introverts share these broad common experiences. Also the clown hat & pin tail, while I understand are meant to give party vibes, feel to me like they're implying the extrovert is just seen as a clown (for entertainment only, always happy, shallow in character). This design feels almost… vindictive? I dunno, maybe I'm reading too much into it. But that's my 2 cents.
