#seriously I've gotten more vitriol for [checks notes] daring to criticize the Barbie movie than literally anything else I've done on here

[marzipanandminutiae]

me: it kind of annoys me that the new Barbie trailer claims Barbie was the first non-baby doll for children. here are some examples of ancient lady dolls, presented in a Ha Ha Funney tone

everyone in the notes: OH MY GOD JESUS CHRIST IT’S JUST A BARBIE MOVIE CALM DOWN GET A JOB NOBODY’S GOING TO BELIEVE IT ANYWAY!!!!! YOU’RE DUMB AND AWFUL AND NO-ONE CARES

(a bunch of other people in the notes: it’s true though/she was the most popular so she’s the only one that counts/wait there were adult-shaped dolls before Barbie? where?)

#dolls #personal #seriously I've gotten more vitriol for [checks notes] daring to criticize the Barbie movie than literally anything else I've done on here #'nobody's going to believe it' eh? scroll down my guy #mattel has been playing us all like a fiddle about this for decades #(fun fact: they also didn't invent dolls that can change gender with their clothes and hairstyles AKA Creatable World) #(that was almost all dolls until...oh hey the 1950s!!!! what a coincidence!!!! not like Mattel helped create a norm- gendered doll bodies) #(and now wants back pats for challenging it!!!!!)
