Do you think a child would like it if Santa brought a Body Positive (fat) Barbie? (Page 4)

[Estaroze]

Sure why not? Children like all kinds of toys for their imagination.

[Moonchild714]

No they don't like all the other less perfect Cheaper Barbie like dolls.

[Grond21]

Depends on the child. But I wouldn't like it as that child's parent

[Dongtai]

5 and under won’t care. Too innocent to notice. 6+ depends solely on what values their parents taught them

[Juxtapose]

There's nothing positive about being such a fucking lazy *PIG* that you get a double chin.

[Exorcist_Rampage]

No. Little girls would get impression that being fat is ideal. Skinny barbie isn't better. Barbie should be fit instead.

[N192K001]

Seconding that! Health should be the goal. The resulting beauty is just the natural consequence. (Take care of your body, and your body will take care of you.)

[Mexicoman101]

Not really, no. Would come across like a sick joke I imagine

[MattIrv]

Depends on the age of the child and how much of the toxic media messages about body size they have absorbed. Regardless, I think such a gift sends a positive message about self acceptance.

[broncobryan]

I really dont think kids see barbie as uh body positive aka fat. she's always been a skinny girl with big boobs. So why change it?

[Vallius86]

I used to play with my hands and pretend they were spiders when I was a kid. You can get them whatever and they will enjoy it up to certain age.

[Vallius86]

Save money
live better
... Hands!

[TruthIs]

Sure they'd be happy, right up to the point when their friend showed up with the skinny awesome doll.

[StephenCF]

Kids will take anything they’re given & probably would be happy about it, but shame on “Santa” for even providing such negative influences 😡🎅🏻

[DWornock]

No company would mass produce such dolls because they won't sell.

[hafinjun]

When I was a kid the fat kids were targets for ridicule and I doubt that's changed much.

[clampfan101]

Barbie feels more like a political statement than a toy brand these days. :/

No lol. It won't work, girls will cry.

[HoratioCaine]

I would be even more tempted to dissect her. I was kind of a demented kid.

[MannySimms]

My Uncle Phil would. He does odd things with dolls and isn't allowed to be alone with kids.

[mrsingle]

I think what you showed is too “fat”, something slightly more proportionate is better
