“I’m like, ‘Okay, she’s a doll. She’s a plastic doll. She doesn’t have organs. If she doesn’t have organs, she doesn’t have reproductive organs. If she doesn’t have reproductive organs, would she even feel sexual desire?’ No, I don’t think she could,” Robbie said. “She is sexualized. But she should never be sexy. People can project sex onto her. Yes, she can wear a short skirt, but because it’s fun and pink. Not because she wanted you to see her butt.”

Margot Robbie said Ace Barbie Rights with her whole chest.

i was thinking about that post comparing Jessica Rabbit as an asexual to Barbie and an asexual and then i thought of the Neil Gaiman post (was it a post?) about Crowley and Aziraphale being asexual and then this happened.

anyways. thoughts?

sorry it took so long I meant to do this a week ago but my brain is full of rocks.

[Image ID a three sided venn diagram. the big circles show Margot Robbie's Barbie sitting in front of a mirror, Jessica and Roger Rabbit from the poster of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens standing back to back. Between Barbie and Jessica Rabbit it says "sexualised by society". Between Jessica Rabbit and Aziraphale and Crowley it says "Knows what sex is". Between Aziraphale and Crowley and Barbie it says "no reproductive system(?)". the center is the asexual flag. End ID]

Also i haven't seen the Barbie movie as of this edit so at least please tag your spoilers.

This Barbie is AroAce!

I heard someone call barbie disappointingly heterosexual and I've never disagreed with anything more strongly in my life

Barbie moving back or just not feeling it when Ken tries to kiss her on multiple occasions. That right there. That's when I felt so seen.

And throughout the entire movie, I was just dreading the moment where she'll have to step back and realize that she's had feelings for him this whole time ugh and that she'll go back and they'll live happily fucking ever after again ugh

But there was none of that. Just Barbie being her own self without a man, without a romantic relationship.

That right there. That gutted me because that's been me my entire life and I thought that there was something wrong with me for not wanting a boyfriend and romance in the real world, fictionally it's a whole other thing but this right here rung so so true to me because it felt so real and it felt like a healing salve to that ache society caused in me.

I 👏 am 👏 here 👏 for 👏 asexual 👏 and 👏 aromantic 👏 Barbie 👏

barbie is for the girls who grew up playing with barbies. it's for the girls who didn't. it's for the girls who aren't girls anymore. it's for girls who feel trapped by how rigged society is against them. it's for girls who grew up hating the colour pink because it was girly. it's for the girls - the people who were taught that any show of femininity, anything even associated with it made you weak. it's for the boys who don't realise the system is rigged against them as well. it's for the mothers who pushed down and locked up the weird and dark and crazy parts of themselves. it's for the people who love barbie, and hate her.

it's a love letter.

I loved it when the Barbie movie was like.. "this Barbie is having an existential crisis right now and she's supposed to look kinda ugly to reflect that, but we hired Margot Robbie so.. y'know, use your imagination"
