The Barbies pokemon-go to the polls and vote out the Kens. It’s mind-numbingly stupid. Remember how that strategy went in 2016? It doesn’t deserve the awards.

the politics were utterly incoherent. for me the really resonant part was where barbie meets her creator. i thought that was really well done.
I don’t think the politics were supposed to make sense. Like the whole point is that Barbieland is a “child playing with dolls” view of how the world works.
yeah i mean it was self aware and tongue-in-cheek about that, but that made it worse for me, not better. like i’m tired of movies and TVs that are written solely to provide material for twitter threads.
I thought that was weird and I didn’t understand what was going on. Like yeah the sentiment was nice but where the heck are they, wasn’t this a chase scene?
Look. There’s a pocket universe connected to Santa Monica where Barbie lives, and there’s a pocket universe in the basement of Mattel’s headquarters where an eternal Ruth Handler lives. What’s not to get?

nah it’s fine
Barbieland is a manifestation of the collective unconscious of all humans who have ever played with Barbies. So it’s kinda like The Pale in Disco Elysium.
Didn’t that whitewash the history of her creator committing tax fraud by joking about it?
Oh no she didn’t give money to the US government so it could do more Vietnam War
Is anyone supposed to give a fuck that the barbie creator bailed on taxes 50 years ago
