Here's which Barbie joke ignited a controversy.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Greta Gerwig’s Barbie is full of witty and fast-paced jokes, but one comparison between a development in the story and a real-life epidemic comes off as careless to many viewers, causing controversy.
Barbie’s promotional images and teasers revealing bits of the story had already fired up right-wing pundits before its release, but afterward, a common objection from some conservatives focused on its supposedly anti-men message. Other less noisy controversies also sprouted up regarding Barbie’s message not being feminist or profound enough, or about its major focus on Ken.
Gloria’s comparison hinging on the Barbies not knowing how to defend themselves against the patriarchy as a concept and the Indigenous Americans’ inability to defend themselves from a contagious deadly disease appears logical, but it downplays a heinous historical event by comparing it to a fictional story development.
Indigenous author Vincent Schilling also highlighted how inappropriate it was to “compare the deaths of Indigenous people who contracted smallpox to Barbies under the influence of Kens,” adding that hearing the line “took him out of the moment.
All these different views overall underline that despite Barbie’s diverse and inclusive approach, it could have still benefited from including a community often willingly ignored in the mainstream discourse, especially if the movie wanted to include a joke aimed at them.
