Ugh, more "get woke, go broke" nonsense

[vraiblonde]

Mattel just released its first line of 'gender-inclusive' dolls to allow kids 'to express themselves freely'

Unlike Barbies, the Creatable World dolls don't have long lashes or tiny waists, nor do they have square jawlines or particularly wide shoulders.

I actually like these dolls and think they're cute. What I don't like is companies retooling their product line to appeal to those who will never buy their stuff. Is some woke gender-neutral mommy really going to let her kid play with dolls? It's distasteful pandering and I'm over it.

It'll be interesting to see how they do in the market. If I still had a house I'd add one to my collection to mark our cultural changes. It could display next to my Rosie O'Donnell doll.

So much for Ken's Huey Lewis-esque package.

Barbie is just going to go Lesbian, if she can't have a manly GI JOE.. I mean if you're going to go feminine might as well get one with the right parts.

I'm working under the assumption "this sh*t" means this stupid wokeness crap and not the OP and replies...?

I blame this on the 1980's hair bands & Alice Cooper.

Ever notice how "gender-neutral" is typically a guy who looks feminine or a girl who looks perhaps boyish but not adult male masculine?

So do we all agree that everyone wants to look like a woman? Because we're gorgeous and amazing?

More scary is that everyone wants to look like a 12 year old girl or 14 year old boy.

I didn't think about that, but you're right - they want to look like adolescents, not adults. There's probably some psychological thing with that but I'll have to think about it later.

Does it have to be snipped off with scissors?
Can it be plugged into the reverse image doll?
