The ‘Trans Agenda’ of Barbie

[cassarchibald]

As if Barbie as a franchise has not made commentary on "gender themes" before that is what Barbie is ABOUT. She is literally a businesswoman who does every job and has a trophy boyfriend.

Barbie's actual slogan for years has been "be who you wanna be."
The movie encourages being you, on your own terms.
*What core audience is being missed?*

[BeelzeBubblesTheBee]

Wtf? Do these people not know anything about Barbie? THE SLOGAN IS LITERALLY “YOU CAN BE ANYTHING”!!!!

[hedgie_doll]

They also called the Mario movie "woke" because Princess peach is capable of doing things on her own ig?

[_Mercival_]

I love how the simple fact that a transgender person exists, is a revolutionary idea and a deeply calculated political statement in the eyes of these people.

[Stachelbeeerchen]

"People can feel well? Impossible! I had to suffer and so should they!"

[WhirlyBeepBoops]

Wasn't the message of Barbie (the franchise, as a whole) "Be whatever and whoever you want" for the longest time? How does it take these people _this long_ to notice?

[TheLexikitty]

The fact they said that message as if it was a bad thing.

[Vesperitis]

Barbie is a successful, independent, talented woman, and Ken is her literal himbo boytoy who accessorizes to match his girlfriend.

This is quite literally embedded into the franchise's DNA.

[tundralwhisper]

"Christians are mad because people are living how they want to" is a headline that shouldn't surprise me anymore at this point

[dori]

not them thinking the core audience is transphobes

[hollystop]

It’s HILARIOUS that they think Barbie’s demographic isn’t the lgbtqia+ community XD.

[cakewithbeans]

the fact these people are against "living your life and being in your body your way, on your own terms"
so in other words "don't you dare feel happy, you can't do that it's not allowed because i said so" 🤦🏻

[thekarlshow_tm]

What do they think Barbie’s “core audience” is?? The Barbie movie is for everyone and their inner bimbo/himbo and last time I checked as a trans person I’m pretty sure we all can agree that we identify as the hottest bimbos and himbos around

[mythcat]

If the message of being yourself and not letting other people define who you are is something people are angry about now, the world has truly gone to shit. As if we needed more proof.

[PinkPuffball]

And on today's episode of "people just wanna find stuff to complain about", we have this. Like seriously people? It's a movie with a great message for absolutely anyone, not just trans folks. Facepalm worthy moment right here

[NeilBraun]

Remember, these are the sort of people who steal your barbie and pop off its head just to upset you when they were kids.
Now that they are older they have nothing but to do other than complain to their condo management about a single dandelion growing on somebody else's lawn.

[animal_gal_adventures]

God, this movie is becoming such a chaotic but positive force. I actually really want to go see it now. It's like an scp, but with scp-999 levels of friendliness and joy.

[sourwitch]

Conservatives: They forgot who their demographic was!

The movie's literal trailer: This is for people who love Barbie... And people who hate Barbie.

[ZipplyZane]

They also seem to object to the fact that the movie is being made for older kids and adults rather than little kids.

Do they not know about the plethora of Barbie movies for kids? Many even got theatrical releases!
