I know riffing off of Mt "rushmore" (The Six Grandfathers) is a popular trope but like, if Barbieland knows about colonialism & smallpox killing Natives Americans & that exists in their world, then what does that imply about the parody Mount Rushmore in Barbieland. Was it also carved by White supremacists who stole land from Native people? Barbieland didn't know what the Patriarchy or misogyny was beforehand but they know what racism towards Natives is even though Barbieland is also apparently very diverse? You were cool with bringing up Native genocide via smallpox to prop up white feminism at random & when it wasnt necessary but also Barbie Mount Rushmore is just there unexplained?
