Showerthought about fat Barbie Now a little fat girl who is given fat Barbie will get to compare her doll to the skinny Barbies her friend's have, and see objectively how fat it is by comparison. "Mommy, did you give me fat Barbie because I'm fat?" cue self awareness I think fat Barbie is a dumb idea (Barbie was created to look skinny and oddly proportioned so she'd be easy to dress in tiny clothes, not to look like a real woman) but the prevalence of normal Barbie to compare has the capacity to shitlord children from a young age. Imagine a slender little girl with her normal Barbie saying "No FatAmy, your barbie can't wear my Barbie's clothes she's too fat! You'll ruin them!" Ahh, music to a shitizen's ears.
