Great piece! I wonder if you feel like Barbie glamorizes Gnosticism, or the fall, as an eye-opening moment, the way the the Matrix does? (The Wachowski brothers admit to gnostic inspiration for the Matrix.)
Weird Barbie as the serpent, leading Barbie to ‘knowledge’ of the real world, and her ultimately opting for an out-of-Eden experience? Wouldn’t Ruth (the Creator) want Barbie to return to Eden, and not the place the Serpent led her to?
holy shit

Read this with someone and it inspires her to write her own barbie commentary

Good piece,, you're smart and shit.. I said I was gonna block anyone who mentions "barbenheimer" but i'm finna let this slide 😎
thank you for acknowledging that i'm smart and shit and for not blocking me :D
this seems like a fine article but I have a firm policy against reading Barbie or Oppenheimer articles
looking forward to your next one 😀
it's really about Jesus and the Bible, less so about Barbie :P
Doesn't change the fact Barbie was packaged as feminist propaganda
