This TikToker's Theory About Barbie And Ken's Relationship In "Barbie" Is Going Viral, And I Can't Believe I Missed The Clues
I think it's safe to say we're all just Barbies and Kens living in a Barbie World, because Barbie is not only currently the biggest movie in the world, but also a cultural zeitgeist.
Now, if you've seen the movie, you know Barbie and Ken have a different type of relationship than I think we all imagined they would before we saw the film.
But first off, just a reminder:
Of course, it was established even in the trailers that Ken was only an accessory to Barbie and that he only had a good day if she looked at him. And while the two are boyfriend and girlfriend in the movie, Barbie doesn't seem to feel the same way for Ken as he does for her.
This could be explained by the fact that Barbie and Ken are dolls, and they don't really have a "sexual" attraction to each other. And, also, that Barbie is Barbie and doesn't need Ken's validation to exist.
But, TikToker @aaaashbash is going viral on TikTok for her theory as to why Barbie isn't really into Ken, and honestly, it makes a lot of sense.
