When I search "fat Barbie" this came up: https://www.app.com/story/life/family/parenting/2016/01/28/meet-fat-barbie-new-barbie-shapes-all-american/79455222/

Apparently this is what passes for fat (Curvy) in Barbie world (the one in green skirt): https://www.app.com/gcdn/-mm-/fe2c0cd3ffcbf149786ac3c80240f25c47bf594c/c=0-97-1499-944/local/-/media/2016/01/28/NJGroup/AsburyPark/635895793555855006-Barbie-2016FashionistasCollection.jpg?width=1320&height=746&fit=crop&format=pjpg&auto=webp

She was plump and cute. One in the movie is obese and unattractive.

Another case of liberal miscasting.

And a tranny Barbie too apparently, if this film is any indication.

reply

Well any little girl can pretend her Barbie is tran. Just like any guy can pretend he’s a girl after tranning. It’s all imagination.

Barbieland is supposed to be a world where women are dominant, real women. The fact a mentally ill man in a wig and dress was included and treated like a real woman (complete with a Ken and "snapping out of the male hypnosis" thing by being preached to about feminism by America Ferrara) in this movie is yet another example of how utterly convoluted and all over the place this film was thematically. It had no idea what it was going for and what it was trying to say, and as a result it's an incoherent mess of platitudes and contradictory nonsense.

Yeah, it was called unhealthy burden on society barbie.

I wouldn't mind a shapeshifter Barbie. You could make it any size, shape or fatness or thinness you want, and it could change any second if you want it to.

Not sure how that could be achieved technically, but maybe in a video game type environment, it could.

Are there 'sandbox' Barbie games, where you could just play and customize things and just let it live? Ah yeah, The Sims..

Remember this movie was originally supposed to star Amy Schumer.😬
