@MaleGoddess @Arkana @bronze @Shadowman311 the reason why i said it was debunked was that a decent amount of these kids weren't actually missing anymore. there was one girl who hadn't been missing for like 3 years or something and she had just ran away from home for a couple days. something along those lines.

then, a lot of the similar products did actually have differences but used the same pictures, the differences were in like the supports like if you could connect them to the wall or not, something along those lines. they're just pretentious as fuck so the drastic price differences reflected that.

right around the time all this shit happened, wayfair was donating lots of furniture (such as beds) to the places where they hold children who had crossed the border illegally, in case they were being trafficked. a lot of leftists were furious that they supported those centers and employees did walkouts and stuff. i've seen some people theorize that this controversy was sparked by leftists trying to get revenge, more or less.

while some of these names are a bit exotic, honestly you can probably search up any single name with "missing" at the end of it and find someone who was missing by that name. the people doing this didn't really dive too deep and find that a good chunk of the "missing children" were in fact no longer missing, though.

i also found out that naming furniture after real names is a pretty common practice in the industry. something about giving names to furniture makes potential buyers feel more endeared towards them and thus more likely to buy them. it's not just wayfair that names their furniture like this. i mean fuck, ikea has plenty of those.
