Has nobody clocked the ridiculously underrated joke from the Barbie film yet during the “Girlfriend/Boyfriend” thing?
(Gifs by @onscreenkisses )
This part!
I may be reading into it but like, there are posts going on about them being Asexual, and while I’m 100% for that if that’s your headcanon, I think it’s because of something else.
Children’s toys don’t have ‘private parts’.
Sure barbie dolls have ‘boobs’ which are just plastic curves let’s not lie but they aren’t detailed! Between their legs is literally just smooth plastic!
And yeah yeah I hear the “But some kids would know what sex is” and I raise you this!
Shut the fuck up. They shouldn’t have to know, nor should they think that’s the only thing gf/bf’s do.
A child wouldn’t know what ‘girlfriend/boyfriend’s do when they stay over at each others houses, but they probably heard that exact phrase at some point, whether it’s from their sibling, a parent, or tv!
So Ken literally just wants to spend time with Barbie.
And I do see that as Asexual in a sense, but I also have a logical part of my brain screaming “MOST BARBIES/CHILDREN DON’T KNOW WHAT SEX IS, SO THATS LITERALLY NOT ON THE TABLE FOR THEM!”
But yeah, thanks for coming to my Barbie/Ken Talk :)
