I wanna talk about Allen- cuz I’ve seen so much abt barbie and ken and i think Allen deserves the spotlight too.

As someone outside the gender binary I just adore Allen- he truly embodies everything I feel all the time. He’s awkward and alone and I know that feeling. He was such good representation for not just those of us who are non-binary, but for cis women who were tomboys and cis men who were softer than their peers. He really just breathed that into the story so subtly- how badly it hurts to be outside of the norm- to not fit in even when it seems like you *should* (kendom). To this day I struggle so, so badly with wishing I wanted to be a woman but knowing that it doesn’t feel right, like wearing clothes that are too small, I appreciate Allen representing that with such ease. He should have fit right in with the Kens, but he didn’t and trying to fit that very rigid gender stereotype was uncomfortable and distressing and ugh I could write an essay.

because justin timberlake is canonically an allan in the barbieverse:

branch is an allan

floyd is a barbie

clay is a ken

bruce is an allan

john dory is a ken

My thoughts on the barbie movie:

[stillinthatweirdfaze]

Allen Barbie is really the character of all time, he is a gay man, he is a butch lesbian, he is nonbinary, he is trans, all of them fit all of them are correct

Best character in the new Barbie movie is Allan in my opinion

[gis4greenandgreenisgre4t]

actually, Allen can be something that is so non-binary coded

Although I have not seen the Barbie Movie, from clips I’ve been spoiled Allen could easily be a representation of lumping an oppressed group with the oppressor due to their proximity to them along with his clear representation of allyship.

It’s like when the phrase “Kill All Men” or just “All Men” comes around and women point out they include Trans Men in not accounting that trans individuals are equally oppressed by men, trans-men were raised as girls and socialized under the female gender roles in society along with being ostracized in male spaces due to their inherent relation to femininity and womanhood in the eyes of the patriarchy.

Most trans men do not benefit from patriarchal standards unless they pass and are discreet about their identities and thus are barred from the safe space women provide each other as they aren’t one but cannot rely on men cause they often aren’t seen as a complete one like Allen preferred the Barbies but is inherently lumped with Kens, somewhere he doesn’t fully belong or agree with despite a desire to be there.

This also factors in to men of color or queer men who while benefiting from the patriarchy and misogyny to an extent, are still oppressed individuals compare to their straight white counterparts. In the case men of color (especially brown and black men) are often treated worse due to their position in what is considered an ideal patriarchal social hierarchy.

This is no way to diminish struggles of women or the ideals and message of the film but I’ve been seeing KAM go around again and must remind those that the phrase lacks nuance and is pretty bare bones and detrimental in relation to actual feminist ideals.
