Also, props to Allan???
He’s a doll most people have never heard of. He got discontinued forever ago cause he was perceived as gay by consumers and they didn’t like that.
But I love that he had an actual role in Barbie. He was very queer coded, yeah, but he didn’t like when all the Kens turned to Patriarchy. He was so uncomfortable that he wanted to abandon Barbieland all together. He knew it was wrong.
And then he helped the Barbies get themselves back. He had a pink jumpsuit and sunglasses and went out all stealthy to get the Barbies in the van. He even voted at the end to keep the constitution the way it was.
Big Allan fan over here.
do NOT tell me there is a gay doll named Allan in the barbie movie, when Ken is 2 letters away from Kevin and my pattern-recognition-software brain is already generating Tron crossovers at the rate of 5 per microcycle. Just…do NOT. this “feature” of my creativity is genuinely harming my ability to do any of the necessary functions of life
