[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one here who thinks people on this thread have gotten weirdly tribal about Barbie? There's a major mass-marketing push for this film, yes... but if it fails to inspire us to embrace Barbie, we're out of the circle of trust?

One of the few things I worry about more than unrealistic body standards for women is groupthink. I really hate groupthink. Why do so many of you NEED us to change our minds about Barbie. Because the movie and its marketing tell us we should?[/quote]

Liberal women have revolted against Barbie and pink and gendered toys for decades. Isn’t that group think?

Buying your kid a Barbie or Disney princess toy has been taboo for many, many years.

Isn’t that groupthink?

The left admittedly succeeded in blacklisting such toys. And it’s all based on weird talking points. There are legit reasons why Barbie made a positive impact and for whatever reason nobody seems open to it. [/quote]

Oookay. Way to prove my point about weird tribalism. [/quote]
