It's just camp. It's just a toy. It's just a movie, a game, a TV show, a song. OK, if you feel that way it's fine. I'm certainly not going to be able to change your mind, since I didn't watch the movie and I take stuff out of context by showing the actual trailer for the movie. The trailer made from the opening scene of said movie.
But for other people who may read this, if you ever happen to wonder why leftists control the movie industry, the TV industry, the music industry, the publishing industry, why leftists make the toys and games your kids play with, I would suggest that maybe it is because of attitudes like @Kamaji 's here. "It's just a movie about a kid's toy".
But what do I know, I didn't see the movie.
Exactly, what do you know, because you didn't see the movie. Quite literally, you do not know what you're talking about.
The movie actually rejects precisely the sort of rigid feminism that has led to many of the current social ills, as well as rejecting the rigid masculinism that feminism claims to be against.
At the end of the day, the point of the movie is to figure yourself out, and figure the world out for yourself, rather than being chained to someone else's reductive ideology, whether that be of the "patriarchy" variety or the feminist variety.
And no, it's not about forcing your personal sexual preferences and fetishes on the rest of the world. As the mother puts it toward the end of the movie, she just wants "Ordinary Barbie" - “She just has a flattering top and she wants to get through the day feeling kind of okay.”
And the rigid, comical "patriarchy" espoused by Ken is ultimately rejected by him, in part because “Once I realized the patriarchy wasn’t about horses, I kind of lost interest.”
It all takes place in the context of a doll mileu, which is necessarily childish, and thus everything is two-dimensional and stereotyped - the protagonist doll herself is labeled as the "Stereotypical Barbie".
At the end of the day, rigid orthodoxies are rejected, a mother and daughter who were alienated by the daughter's adherence to a rigid, primitive feminism have been reunited, with the daughter rejecting that rigid feminism, and the only piece of unfinished business - other than Barbie's visit to the gynecologist - is that the real-life daughter's father needs to stop being a woke beta-cuck - he is not held up as a model for men - and needs to find himself out for himself as well.
