I mean yes, Ken has always been an accessory to Barbie. But failing to understand how this was platformed in the movie as a centrepoint of the feminist critique it makes is just willful stupidity on your or anyone else’s part. It’s a dumbass “the curtains are blue” kind of take intended to terminate all deeper thought that might result in anybody learning anything or demonstrating growth as a person.
Charitably to our new fediverse friends, I’d be willing to believe that it’s not willful, just that liberal ideology makes the characteristics of a product seem more center stage than feminist politics
