    Do young girls still play with dolls?
    First Mattel brought out "curvy Barbie" aka "obese Barbie." It flopped and sales dropped 15% but they didn't learn their lesson..
    Now they have a "handicapped Barbie" in a wheelchair and a Barbie doll with skin blemishes. Of course many of us know someone who uses a wheelchair and sure, skin blemishes are unsightly and we sympathise with people affected in this way. But do kids have to play with PC dolls? Jeeze, give them a chance to grow up first. Yes I know I know ... the sooner they're confronted with these things the better, the PC people will say.
    What do you think?

    That bitch is a waste of plastic can't connect with her

    I think it's a fucking kids toy... Not sure why this is important.

    That I wished I'd had a short haired dykey Barbie who came with samurai armor and her plus sized punk rock girlfriend when I was growing up. But they didn't. barbie was a basic bitch and I never had much interest

    I think the point is letting kids know early on that it's ok... That no one expects them to fit inside this perfect cookie-cutter existence.

    This is how you can let them no that it's ok, not by doing more of the status quo.

    Why isn’t there hair under the underarms of the PC Barbie?

    Not so sure that Barbie above is politically correct.

    At the time, nobody ever would’ve known that Ear Ring Magic Ken Doll would be a gay collectors item

    Earring Magic Ken - Wikipedia

    But I have a hunch that disabled overweight transgender non-binary Muslim Barbie won’t have any collectors value after it flops in toy store sales

    A transsexual Barbie? Hell not even Ken is anatomically correct. I wonder how they'd do it?

    Legs and arms are a bit thin for that frame, but I'm still digging it.

    That's an interesting idea, actually. A Barbie where you shave the doll... :)

    very true. Plus you are easier to piece together. When I ripped off my barbies head, arms and legs, it was not as easy to put back together either, like you are :)
