Down Syndrome Barbie - your thoughts?

[Baron Von Murderpaws]

Road Runner had a thread on this previously..........but I'd like to expand on it.

Down Syndrome Barbie

For once I actually find this to be a good idea. It's a whole lot better than Drag Queen Barbie and it teaches kids not to bully other kids with disabilities. (For the record I don't think anybody should be bullied,.. even LGBT people, but often times they bring it on themselves.)

Is this something HELPFUL or HARMFUL?

Is Mattel just jumping on the "make a billion bandwagon" here???

Or do you think Mattel is genuine in what they have done?

Mattel has done "handicapped" dolls in the past..........but you know its for the money.
I mean, even if the doll doesn't sell, they haven't lost anything, since they are a billon/trillon dollar company.

What is your opinion of this???

Some talking points...........besides Mattel making mint on this doll.............

Dolls are just that, dolls......a TOY. Toys are supposed to help kids with building their imaginations.
Isn't giving them a "real life" doll contrary to development of building their imaginations?

Isn't this flagrant "ism"? Mattel doing Down Syndrome, but ignoring all others?
Sure Mattel has done Wheelchair Barbie in the past, but there are hundreds, if not thousands of other syndromes and handicaps out there.
Isn't this just more hypocrisy thrown in peoples faces?

Is this just the promotion and propaganda for a one-sided condition, so the Down Syndrome organizations can rake in some cash?

To a little girl with Downs Syndrome, I think it means a lot

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Downs syndrome is grounds for instant abortion which is why there are so few with downs. Iceland is proud of aborting 100% of babies with downs syndrome. They claim to have eradicated the condition.

This doll not only doesn't make a lot of sense but seems to be dangerously pro life.

Like islamics who reel against reproducing their god's image, this Barbie also tries to force media prisoner perception into a Masonic Doctor's template.

Money, Money, Money.

It's the only word.

At least she's not garishly made up like the other Barbies. I met a nurse who looked like the real Barbie, back in the late 80's, and if you got close, your first impulse was to grab a spatula and scrape off all that makeup.

I personally never play with dolls who have no genitalia.

Interesting. I have learned something new today!!!!
Thanks.

My question now is..........WHEN can you genetically tell if a fetus has DS?
Can this also be caught with both parents having DNA tests BEFORE conception????

You can DNA test parents to see if either carry the gene. After conception an ordinary and routine amniocentesis test will tell you instantly if Downs is present.

Hysterical jibberish.

And they haven't eradicated anything but babies.

Dumbass

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

And for the record I dunno why anyone would care about Mattel making retarded dolls anymore than black or Asian dolls.

 

[rightwinger]

The only problem is that the other Barbies will pick on Downs Syndrome Barbie and call her names

I used to know a woman who did a sculpture of a tore-up trailer park Barbie. It was wonderful! Gritty and honest, unlike actual Barbie.

I couldn't find it online, but I found this, Fun!

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Also saying aborting every baby with down syndrome is eradicating the horrible defect is like me murdering every patient with aids and claiming I cured the disease.

You people are certifiable morons

That shit is retarded.

What is Downs Syndrome Barbie's dreamhouse? A group home?

 

[1srelluc]

A bit square in the jaw but the doll looks fine to me.

you guys are awful

 

[JOSweetHeart]

Do I think that making such a doll is a good idea? In a way it is because the health condition then does get some recognition and those who have it will then feel included instead of being left out, but then again there are those who do not want to be labeled in such a way. Some people with special needs may only make it their life's mission to be like everyone else as much as a person in their position can and so maybe making a doll that resembles their true way of life isn't the best thing to do.

God bless you and them always!!!
