Stupid assed movie to sell Barbie toys

Why does this movie exist?

To make money off useless Barbie merch?
So we end up with a bunch of plastic crap with Barbie stamped on it, to FILL our LANDFILLS in 5 years?

Why is Barbie now a role model for young girls again?
Everyone hated Barbie for putting ridiculous impossible body shapes and figures and impossibly small waists into girl's minds thinking that's how they are SUPPOSED to look. And frankly , young girls don't even WANT to play with Barbies. They rather play the same things boys play with. When I was a kid, you know what girls played with ? THE SAME THINGS BOYS DID. GAMEBOYS. Video games. Games like Animal Crossing. Actual fun things. They don't want a shitty plastic doll with a dress and a 1 cm waist. But of course, adults who run studios and toy companies have no idea what kids actually want , or what they like.

business as usual. capitalism.

girls went to see it because they all secretly want to be that and dressed up sexy to go see it. it was this ONE CHANCE to ignore all the modern feminist crap and be a WOMAN again, albeit briefly before getting back to whining about the patriarchy... that lets them exist.

guys went to see it because sex fantasies of barbie and Margot Robbie live. simple.

little kids dont pay for tickets. young adults and adults did

What do you mean by the movie was supposed to ignore feminist crap, and be a woman again? What were you expecting Barbie to do in the movie?

Girls one chance. Not the movies one chance.

"girls went to see it" >>>> "was this ONE CHANCE to ignore all the modern feminist crap and be a WOMAN again" the GIRLS seeing it one change

not about THE MOVIE BEING this ONE CHANCE

If it was meant to sell toys it would have been PG and aimed at young girls. It was PG-13 and sold to millennial women and the Gays.
