The vast majority of little girls aren't going to want "curvy" (aka fat barbie). Only fat moms are going to buy this thinking that they are helping when they are really hurting. Most girls dont try to starve themselves to an anorexic level (although an ED can develop in the process), they are frightened to death to end up looking like so many of the fatties like Tess. That has been my experience anyways.

I don't understand their obsession with Barbie and all things childish. And no kid is going to want to play with an obese doll. Kids want toys that are pretty, cool, just attractive in some way or another. We all know that obesity is not. I also don't get how or why these people compare themselves to a doll. A fucking doll is making them feel inadequate. The most Barbie made did for me in that department was make me feel weird for not being blue eyed and blond. As a child. Now, I could give two shits. Fats are fucking stupid.

Because they never mentally left childhood. They're forever stuck in something between childhood and adolescence emotionally and mentally, so they react to everything from that view point.

Better just dismiss all criticism by acting like a child

It's weird that they gave Hambie the same arms, legs, and face parts as the other Barbies.

If you see her from the side she has a gut too. They look worse than the pictures they are showing

Remember OG Barbie? That was a literal impossible standard of beauty.
Current Barbie? That's just some unremarkable skinny fat.
Save us James Cameron. Find the bar!

All I'm going to say is that it's a doll ffs. The whole argument about keeping barbie thin was that she was a doll and it didn't matter what her shape was now people are bitching because there are various barbie shapes. It's a fucking doll, if people don't want certain shapes they won't buy them and they will fall out of the market.
