but the hot take that y’all aren’t ready for yet is that all the barbies and kens in barbieland are asexual. when ken suggests that he stay over because he and barbie are quote “boyfriend/girlfriend” and she asks “to do what?” and he says “…i honestly don’t know” it’s because they may be a reflection of stereotypical human relationships in the real world, but they lack any of the substance beyond the superficial. this is supported when barbie explicitly states that she doesn’t have a vagina and ken doesn’t have a penis (despite ken’s insistence that he quote “has all the genitals,” okay intersex king). therefore if neither barbie nor ken have genitals and presumably no sexual organs or biological functions (such as the need to eat/drink/bathe with real water/etc. as shown in the film), then none of the barbies or kens should experience sexual attraction or desire, just like they don’t experience most of the human emotion spectrum (perhaps making an exception for weird barbie in this case, who remarks about wondering what “plastic blob [ken] has got going on in those shorts” to paraphrase. i really don’t have an answer for this one, maybe she’s bisexual or maybe she’s just being weird. who’s to say). ergo (at least prior to main barbie becoming human and having her vaginoplasty surgery), she and the rest of the residents of barbieland are canonically asexual by default and any sexualized projection onto them are merely that: projections. that all being said, barbie can be anything, including an ace homoromantic non-binary trans woman. in this essay i will—

so i think what's compounding my disappointment with the barbie movie is coming to terms with the fact that mainstream society is just still not ready for explicit queer themes.
therefore, my hopes for bakudeku, togachako, or satosugu (all ships with clear queer subtext) becoming explicitly canon have been dashed.
i'm seeing that even if the media as a whole is progressive, it's still not progressive enough for explicit mainstream queer representation. we are still relegated to our lgbtq/gl/bl categories. we are still outcasts.
i'm feeling a tad bit hopeless that queer subtext will mostly be just that--subtext (at least for a good while longer).
but s/o to explicit queer representation from more mainstream media though! i'm thinking along the lines of schitt's creek.

Literally my one really complaint about the Barbie movie’s wardrobe is that they didn't let Earring Magic Ken keep his cock-ring circle necklace. Like, it's PG-13, they could've kept it and not address it.

After seeing the Barbie movie with my friend we all choose to call "Weird Barbie" "Queer Barbie" instead and this is make it so much better.

We're not appreciating the Weird Barbie enough. It's said in the movie that she helps everyone who need help while they always see her as someone who's not as good as them. She was friends with all dismissed Barbies and Kens, was there to offer support and safe shelter for everyone who needed it in Kendom, without her nothing in the movie would've been alright. When Stereotypical Barbie calls her "ugly and unwanted" she still helps her.
She was representing a woman in women's world who was pushed aside by other women because she didn't fit in but still had more wisdom and kindness than everyone who thought they're better than her.

just saw Barbie so here are some (non-spoilery) highlights:
ken becoming DEEPLY obsessed with horses
MULTIPLE highly choreographed dance numbers that last for several minutes
kens job is beach
a tween calls Barbie a fascist (?????? ok screenwriters)
mojo dojo casa house
kens big mink coat having a HORSE THEMED LINING
i know we were deeply obsessed with the outfits but good god. the OUTFITS.
extensive Barbie lore
Barbie’s heart to heart with a lovely old woman
the kens building a wall
beaching one another off
KENS SONG THAT HE SINGS FOR LIKE 5 MINUTES
like twelve executives on one tandem bike
depression Barbie

on further reading and discussing, i see how barbie is aroace-coded and the barbie movie is intro to feminism (meaning i am ~not~ the target audience).
i think i'm so entrenched in my own little queer/relationship anarchist world that i forget what mainstream opinions are. so now that i got some perspective, i do see how barbie is revolutionary. it just isn't revolutionary for me.
