To the people saying this is a lie, the pure reason I never touched barbies as a kid was because I didn’t think it was for girls like me. Who didn’t fit into the Eurocentric beauty standards of white skin and straight blonde hair! I always preferred teddies. Edit: oh, and perfect bodies!

[@allentowngal4769]

I was white, poor , youngest of 7. I had dreams of surviving, escaping, and never for a moment thought the image or lifestyle portrayed by Barbie was a reality. I'm glad to see it evolved but still unrealistic for many young girls.

@@allentowngal4769 exactly, this! Also growing up it wasn’t even the ideal to be a perfect ‘feminine’ girl, I always had big dreams that didn’t involve a Ken or ‘perfecting’ my body😭 I can say that’s still true now! Hope you’re doing better

I need this comment to reach production peeps. I don't know if the seasons are pre-recorded but I need Kelly to do a cover of Halle Bailey's "Angel" on the show. I promise you won't regret it. Thanks in advance!

Me and my sister and two of our friends were Barbie obsessed and we took hours creating each scene from being in college to camping to a pet shop or grocery store. My grandparents spoiled us rotten with Barbie stuff plus we played with some of my mom's stuff too. Our other grandpa made us a Barbie house and furniture.

Barbie was initially about empowerment and fashion so we would grow up with a fashion sense. So no dream was too big. Barbies had occupations in addition to being a domestic Godess. Barbies represented every nation and race because girls through out doll history did this. The movie did lie to you. However Ken was extremely anemic. I had two ken dolls. Think about that... probably that was why I wanted a talking GI Joe doll (action figure) with real hair and a beard. I never got that. Instead I got the domestic Mary Poppins doll in a Poppins Hand Bag. Probably why I spent my youth taking care of other people's children entertaining them with my guitar and songs, magic tricks, and puppet shows. So if you were not into it you were just not into it. Don't give some made up political excuse. Barbie says to be yourself and be proud.

Barbie want always diverse. It took decades before more diverse Barbie’s were available. Do better research and maybe consider that literal millions of women aren’t lying about their lived experiences just because you’re ignorant. Your experience is not THE experience

[@ZEREEUSLY]

This segment is a lie. What kid, grabs a toy and thinks, this isn't me.... none.

[@kissit012]

Literally millions of kids. Especially girls who develop a sense of self representation early. Not all of us were idiots as kids; many had existential thoughts early

[@ZEREEUSLY]

@kissit012 you're confusing being programmed by evil parents who actually DON'T CARE! Try intro to psychology, you'll get over that type of thinking.

I for one. And BTW I was never a fan of playing with dolls. Board games, stuffed animals, toys that moved.

[@meme-tg6hr]

Two are paid for loving Barbie.
