Bad At Math Barbie- Teen Talk Barbie or as she was later dubbed “Bad at Math Barbie” continues the dumb blonde stereotype with a passion. She says “Math class is tough” which continues the idea that all blondes are idiots. She also excessively repeats “Do you have a crush on anyone?” as if that is all girls think about. The next two things she says are even worse! “Tiny dresses are fun” and then “Will we ever have enough clothes?” That is so messed up!!! This is NOT something I would want my children possessing or even thinking about. At least she says “I’ll always be there for you” because someone better be there for her when she plummets.
Easily Entertained Barbie- Wash n Watch Barbie puts dishes in the dishwasher, turns it on, then watches. Once it is done she takes them out and repeats the process all over again. Because all girls are dimwits that can be easily entertained. That is pretty much all this Barbie does.
Drag Queen Barbie- Drag queen barbie. Because that’s what the world needs. Just the words you want to hear your child ask, “Mommy, what’s a drag queen?” Drag queen barbie wears an extremely short corset dress encrusted with gems, high heels, a faux fur coat, and as per the Barbie norm is wearing excessive makeup. She was designed to look like her drag queen creator, Philippe.
Anorexic Barbie- This Barbie was originally marketed as Slumber Party Barbie. This is an awful toy for developing young girls! It comes with a dieting book and a scale permanently set to 110. It gets even worse! The dieting book’s only advice is “Don’t eat!” and has a silhouette of a girl looking down on a scale. The slumber party part suggests that she wasn’t even doing this alone.
Teen Pregnancy Barbie- Teen Pregnancy Barbie. Just the toy you want your impressionable young daughter playing with. I really hope that the guy who thought this was a good idea got fired. Not only is she promoting teen pregnancy, but also racism! 90% of Barbies are stereotypical white blondes. Teen Pregnancy Barbie is Latin American. Yes, that’s right, Barbie is showcasing Latin Americans as cheap, trashy, sluts. Oh, Barbie, is there anything that you can’t mess up?
Streetwalker Barbie- Although you would think that female superheroes are good thing, you might think again when you see what they are wearing. “Streetwalker Barbie” as she was dubbed by the media was supposed to be DC Comic’s Black Canary. But when mothers saw the fish net leggings, virtual leotard, and black shiny leather they were not pleased. They certainly did not want their daughters playing with Stripper Barbie! Black Canary really needs to get more functional and less hooker-like clothing. A good idea in concept but disastrous in execution.
