Why did the innocent looking LABUBU DOLL become the reason for fear among people? The logic of demons is viral on social media, have you heard it
The Labooboo doll created by artist Kasing Lung in 2015 is becoming increasingly viral on social media these days. This doll became a topic of discussion when an Instagram user posted a video in which the brown Labooboo doll was seen in the lap of a monster. Along with this, a warning was also written below that do not buy this monster doll for your children or yourself.
In childhood, if we passed by a market fair or toy shop and saw a cute doll there, then we used to insist on buying it. However, at present, many different types of dolls have started coming in the market. But these days the Labooboo doll is becoming very viral on social media, for which not only children but also adults are crazy. If you have not heard about Labooboo, then perhaps you are living in an unknown place. From Wimbledon to becoming a favorite of celebs, there is really a craze for them. However, this doll quickly went viral among the people when an Instagram user posted a video in which the brown Labubu doll was seen next to a monster. Warning- “Do not buy this demonic toy for your children or yourself.”
Now in such a situation, the question arises in the mind whether the Labubu doll really attracts ghosts or negative energy. Let us know in this article what is the argument of the Labubu doll going viral on social media being a monster.
What is the truth behind the Labubu doll?
The ongoing controversy escalated after fans destroyed their dolls. However, there is no evidence that Labubu is evil or has any connection with demons. Labubu was created by cartoonist Kasing Lung in 2015 as a part of his book series “The Monsters”. He told CGTN Europe in an interview that his characters were inspired by the European fairy tales he read in his childhood after coming to the Netherlands. Lung further said, “Labubu resides in his soul”.
In the books, Labubu is a female elf-like creature who looks mischievous but has a good heart. Lung teamed up with China-based Pop Mart to turn these into toys in 2019. Pop Mart says that while these toys may look “naughty”, they are actually kind and helpful. This doll has big demon-like eyes and big rabbit-like ears, as well as a dangerous smile on its face. Anyone can really get scared seeing this doll for the first time.
Why are people linking Labubu to the demon Pazuzu?
Viral posts on social media link the Labubu doll to Pazuzu, a demon from ancient Mesopotamian mythology. Pazuzu is featured in The Exorcist and resembles a creature with wings, tail and bulging eyes. According to media reports, this doll looks nothing like Pazuzu.
At the moment, Kasing Lung has not commented publicly on these claims. But in an interview given earlier, he had told that Laboobu was not born out of any darkness or devilry, but from fairy tales and childhood fantasies.
