How do you feel about the new "plus size" (curvy) Barbie Doll? Was that a good move by Mattel or bad and why?

🤷 not like everyone is the same size anyway. no different than kids who are amputees getting dolls that are anatomically correct to their situation. there are young girls who are a bit chunky or overweight, and it would be nice for them to have something that looks like them being represented instead of pretending it does not exist. that's one way of looking at it.

I didn't know there was a plus size Barbie but it seems rather silly to me. Promoting the idea of being overweight isn't really helpful to society's health, overall. Acceptance of people being overweight is one thing but promotion of the idea, not so good in my opinion.

Edit: this comment was made without seeing examples and I thought plus-size might include representations of unhealthy weight ranges.

Bad idea

I honestly just think it's stupid how so many people are suddenly having problems with a doll that's over 50 years old.

Now we need a Ken doll with a great big beer belly

Art reflecting life or company aware that'Being true to yourself' is in and so trying to cash-in ?

It is all based on money in business,
nothing else.

Oh I missed that one, what's their idea of a plus size though?

Here's a pic of some "curvy "B's"
