It's just cute, easy to cuddle, and in the colours of the trans flag

I think it also helps that it wasn't intentional. Nobody likes the obvious corp whoring for a quick cash grab.

I never noticed that its actually the flag colors! It's also available in every country with an Ikea, which is all of europe, north america, oceania and large parts of asia.
