Ep 1226 | I Went Down the Labubu Rabbit Hole So You Don't Have To
Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
The Allure of Labubu Dolls
This chapter investigates the origins and cultural impact of Labubu, a character from a fantasy picture book series. It discusses the frenzy surrounding Labubu dolls, including limited releases, high resale prices, and the ethical concerns tied to their collectible nature.
Today, we dive into the Labubu craze, a plush doll phenomenon sweeping TikTok and sparking claims of demonic ties to Mesopotamian demon "Pazuzu." We unpack its origins, the $423 million industry, and why adults’ obsession with these collectibles signals cultural idolatry. We also explore the shift from permissive “gentle parenting” to “FAFO” parenting and explain why it's important to emphasize biblical discipline over chaos. Plus, we celebrate Navy SEAL Chadd Wright’s powerful gospel presentation to Joe Rogan, showcasing God’s transformative grace.
