Why does it make people uncomfortable to see a baby in Barbie?

Question

"put barbie's skin back on! " still laughing!

Answer 1

ew. because barbie has no genitals and there's no way she could have a baby in the first place. put barbie's skin back on!

Answer 2

Your picture is kinda gross, Barbie's gut is cut open and you can see the baby inside. Gruesome. I can see it if Barbie and Ken got married and had babies, and Mattel starts selling baby Barbies along with all the baby paraphernalia, that's fine. But to see Barbie nekkid with her abdomen cut open like that with the baby hanging upside down, that's just too graphic. I know I know, she's just a plastic doll, so is the baby. But sheesh, the of the plastic in the pic is gross.

Hers and Ken's lack of genetalia doesn't bother me, whatever. In the world of imagination (and that is, after all, the world of dolls, right?), they make a baby. Fine. Sell the baby stuff, sell the baby dolls, sell Barbie and Ken and baby/ies together, that's cool with me. But for goodness' sake, don't sell Barbie's gut hanging out.

Answer 3

Does that Barbie have a stretchy vagina for the baby to come out of? If not, I think we're sending children the wrong message by letting them just pop her stomach open and remove a smiling infant. I mean, they'll think all babies are born by C-section! (And I hope Barbie sues the surgeon, because DAMN, she's gonna have some wicked scar tissue!)

Answer 4

Poor Barbie never got her share of estrogen nor progesteron to help her metabolism support an alien life form. Her pointy boobs will probably put that nippers eye out and her butt is too narrow for birthing with her skin too hard for a C section, the doc. will have to use a jig saw, poor girl. She should look for work in a Victoria's Secret catalogue and leave birthing babies to the real women. Why don't Victoria's Secret models ever show off maternity wear? Don't they believe in sex either?

Answer 5

let's see
Barbie dolls are mainly sold out to little girls between the ages of 4 to 14, so when u give that girl a doll and say Barbie is pregnant and going to have a baby, the little girl will want to have a baby, because barbie dolls are not said to be married, so that encourages pre-marital sex and pregnancy

Answer 6

I wish women's stomaches really looked like that when they were pregnant, you know, the skin on the stomache would become transparent.
How many women would get an abortion then? Well, I know for sure they wouldn't wait..,..they would do it when the fetus actually DID look like a clump of tissue--which is only in the middle of the first trimester.
No one would get a late term abortion unless they have like no heart at all.--which many people don't , but anyway.
It's sort of like that thing where if you could see into all slaughter houses because they were made of glass, everyone would be a vegetarian. --except for the people with no heart of course.

Answer 7

I think it is because Barbie is plastic, and really can't reproduce, at least not sexually. It conjures images of Ken and Barbie, neither with any discernible reproductive organs creating the child...And that really is a disturbing thought.

Answer 8

I always wanted one of those when I was a kid! I finally got one for myself at 17, lol. Pregnant barbie rocks, keep the avatar!

Answer 9

because they don't think someone like barbie would ever have sex. They did the whole barbie and ken wedding thing years ago, but they didn't consummate the marriage i guess.

Answer 10

Haha that's funny! I guess it's uncomfortable because it tells little children where babies come from.

My mom once told me of a Barbie that had breasts that would wiggle when you squeezed her legs. I would've liked to have seen that, lol. (For comical reasons, of course.)
