Moaning about a kids toy? I’m sure that’s exactly the contribution this forum needs.

It's surely not for you to vet threads so they meet your strange criteria. It's certainly not for you to insult other members as your one and only contribution. But it's not wholly surprising.

Oh don’t flatter yourself, Livia. You’re acting like I burst into the thread swinging a machete when all I did was point out how ridiculous it is to be this emotionally disturbed by a doll. If that rattles you, maybe log off and have a juice box.

And let’s not pretend this forum is some sacred intellectual ground. Half the threads are people arguing over rainbow benches and whatever else theyve been told to be angry about. Calm down.

Number of threads made this year about "rainbow benches" = ONE

Number of posts that Glen made in that thread = 51

That wasn’t arguing hun, that was stating fact.

We’ll just add Diabetes Barbie to the long list of things that trigger the snowflakes :thumbs:

Kids are resilient and strong. Anyone who thinks Mattel is acting for the good of the kids and not to a) make money, and b) raise their own profile, is dreaming.

Oh, the company is being performative imo.

It's just is it really a big deal in this particular case?

Country Barbie wouldn't be too bad either.
