This is Spitfire, a style of head-to-head debates between The Accolade’s two Opinion editors. Elise is purple. Kyuwon is blue.
PREVIOUSLY ON SPITFIRE: The two opinion editors went head-to-head about whether Instagram maps is beneficial or dangerous. Elise, arguing that the feature is dangerous and unnecessary, took the win. Who’s going to take the crown this time around? One thing’s for sure: they’re both about to spit FIRE.
Here are the rules:
- No profanity.
- An editor attacked by the other will be given three sentences to respond.
- The readers will decide who wins through a poll at the end of the article.
- Once a rule is broken, the debate ends.
NeeDohs had their moment to shine for a little bit, but let’s be honest, we were in desperate need of something fun and new. The recently released Louis Vuitton x NeeDoh collaboration gave us the option to have a designer NeeDoh, which is a huge upgrade from the old, boring squishies. Especially since many students have been bringing their NeeDoh to school, it’s way cooler to have the designer one now.
Elise, I love the effort to get designer brands to collaborate, but NeeDohs are targeted towards ages 3 and up, as written in the package, so it’s the younger ones who are going to buy it. Realistically, do you think teenagers can afford a Louis Vuitton NeeDoh that will cost much more than an original NeeDoh? I doubt that, and most parents may not see the worth in spending so much money on one “designer” toy for their little ones.
First of all, age is irrelevant; even if NeeDohs are targeted towards ages 3 and up, everyone can enjoy them! Also, if parents really cared about their kids, they would buy them the more luxurious NeeDoh. Yes, the product is expensive, but expensive means higher quality, so you get the bang for your buck with this purchase.
Honestly, NeeDohs should be easily replaceable because they break easily with all the air bubbles sneaking in after a few weeks of sensory attachment. But if NeeDohs are too expensive, it’s challenging to make the purchase for a quick replacement. Also, nothing beats the original crystal clear NeeDoh that attracted so many students here on campus, and the Louis Vuitton logo and design just disrupts the beauty.
Actually, Louis Vuitton designed this product to be a NeeDoh within a NeeDoh — that way, if it does break, you have another NeeDoh inside! It is genius, and besides, it has a logo on it. Why wouldn’t you want to pay a little more money to show off the top squishy?
Okay, fine, now that I think about it, I think you’re right. I agree that the Louis Vuitton x NeeDoh collaboration squishies are totally worth buying. I can see that students will be willing to get them despite the cost just because of the Louis Vuitton logo that can make them look rich, and to those who build their identity through prestigious brands, even if the item is a squishy.
An agreement goes against what Spitfire stands for: fighting tooth and nail with diction. Since both Opinion editors violated the core belief of Spitfire with an agreeable decision, a fifth rule will be added: Arguments must be opposites.
Because of the violation of rule No. 5, Spitfire ends by default. Additionally, since both Opinion editors came to a consensus for the first time in Spitfire history regarding the Louis Vuitton NeeDoh, this segment of the Opinion section will now come to a permanent close.
