What did kojima mean by this?

Did he just post a pic of norman because he felt like it? Or did norman steal his phone and posted it on his account?

Ken was more than an antagonist/villain but a representation/metaphor for all the sweet boys in our lives who eventually grew up to be misogynistic men. Who take more than they’ll ever give. They are the boys who felt under-appreciated and unloved and found validation from Andrew Tate podcasts.

A lot of women if not all can relate to that on some level. Son. Brother. Friend. Cousin. Nephew. Uncle. It happens so much more than we want to think about. It’s so prevalent and sad that despite everything Ken did, Barbie apologized to him and received no apology in return.

Barbie Land was far kinder than Kendom. The Barbies were dismissive about the Kens, yes, but they were always treated kindly and with some decorum. Kendom literally made the Barbies their servants designed to cater to their every whim. Just look at that. And even then, Barbie apologized. President Barbie gave them a (admittedly low) position in the courts as a token of good will. A fairly realistic take right there but so sad considering the harm they’d done.

He stole her dreamhouse. He stole Barbie’s dreamhouse. And she apologized for hurting him.

Ken's greatest suffering came from being a beta orbiter in the friendzone. From not being taken seriously by the person whose attention he believed he needed to validate his own existence. He was never exploited or degraded or dehumanized. He was never subjected to malice or sadism or violence. He was not raped. He was not objectified. The Barbies always treated him with respect (kindness, goodwill), but not with Respect (gravitas, adulation, obsequiousness).

This is truly the worst fate many men can imagine. This is what they mean when they absurdly complain that women have all the power in society, that feminism has gone too far. Men are lonely, men feel unwanted, men feel disposable, men feel unneeded, men feel unimportant, men feel disRespected.

Meanwhile, Barbie is sexually assaulted within five minutes of entering the Real World. She unapologetically hits back because she has not yet been taught that women who hit back are punished. And then she is the one who gets arrested, not the man who assaulted her. In her mugshot, her face shows a mixture of bewilderment and violation. Ken, on the other hand, is beaming. He is oblivious, blissfully unaware of sexual violence.

Because while the Kens never perpetrate such acts, they have also never been victimized in this way. The "plight" of Kens in Barbieland, the one lamented and dreaded by the incels and the Andrew Tate fans, is in no way analogous to the realities of what women experience under patriarchy. It's not even close.

Even without any knowledge of sexual violence, Ken should be attuned the obvious discomfort of the woman he proclaims to be in love with. To the fact that someone has just harmed her. That she is being stared at with an undertone of violence. But he isn't. Because even in his state of innocence, even when he is supposedly HER accessory, he still sees her as a thing first and a person second. Ken's wooing of Barbie is about his desire to obtain and possess her to validate himself and give himself purpose. It is not about her as a person at all. So, while she is upset and confused after being assaulted, he is grinning his face off because he has found an alternative source of validation in patriarchy and is thereby freed of whatever self-serving incentive he once felt to have any concern for her well-being at all.

Every celebrity on the picketline: shame on the execs!

One thing that tickled me about the Barbie movie was how Gloria's husband is (imo) a 'Real World' Ken.

We see very little of him in the movie. In both of his scenes, he's trying to speak/learn Spanish. He does nothing important or if consequence in terms of the plot... But he's trying to learn a language his wife and daughter speak. He's not excelling, I'm not even sure if he's succeeding. But he is kensistently trying.

For all of the 'Real World' men who are antagonists or opponents to Barbie, El Esposo de Gloria (as he is listed in the credits) has true Kenergy.

Also (SPOILERS FROM HERE ON NOW DONT READ UNDER THE LINE IF YOU DONT WANT SPOILERS)

Can we appreciate how Gloria just brought a whole ass grown woman back home and told her husband this stranger was gonna be living with them and his response was like "alright, welcome to the family barbara, im gonna treat you like a daughter" like what a man
