Do you expect conservatives to throw a tantrum over this "diversity change" and a move away from the blonde skinny barbies/kens?


California based Mattel have announced their plans to create a more INCLUSIVE range of barbie dolls for more diversity to go with their skinny barbie dolls with blonde hair and blonde kens as now there will be barbies with Vitiligo, black barbies and even black and ginger kens as well as a WHEELCHAIR BARBIE and BALD BARBIE!!

They said they want to provide a "multi-dimensional view of beauty and fashion" to represent global diversity and inclusivity

There will also be a Ken doll with LONG HAIR and a Barbie with a prosthetic leg to be rolled out this year as they hope these dolls will allow kids to play out even more stories in the world around them today

The prototype dolls was debuted on Barbie's instagram as it had the most liked post ever with 152,000+ likes.

It was inspired by teen activist, Jordan Reeves who is in a wheelchair herself and said she always thought dolls were a good way of kids to learn about disabilities

The bald barbie speaks to the trends of seeing bald models seen on the catwalk to the sidewalk and for those experiencing hair loss

Ken Dolls are also getting more inclusive from complexion to colour and length of his hair

Mattel's campaign to be more inclusive is a welcome change to the global community as more people see the company evolving it's image.

Do you expect conservatives to thrown a tantrum over this "diversity change"?.

They've already had black, etc, Barbie figures. Unless these are supposed to be Barbie herself? That's just stupid, unless she's a time lord now.

This is true, and a bald barbie makes no sense outside of a pricey charity version for millionaires where the money goes to cancer patients.

Yeah, but not all asians are members of BTS or Twice.

I'm curious how profitable this is considering how they have a lot more variation now.

They should also sell Ken as Barbie if they really want to be all-inclusive.

Because a five-feet tall rubber doll would be excessive.

The hair costs fuck all, it's more expensive to blank the scalp on the mould.

No, that's dangerous. But you can have Barbie for blobs of fat because that's A-okay.

Barbies are a very weirdly culturally sensitive thing. They're made out to be the omnopotent force of everything wrong with society every time you hear about them because they made a fat one, or a wheelchair one, or they just left them all as unrealisticly perfect looking 6" anorexic white girls, or they made a dog that poops, lol.

They already had barbies of different races and body sizes for years now.

The males never had much diversity, but the females did at least.
