Comment on America Ferrera and the ‘Barbie’ Monologue We All Talked About

Capitalism commodifies dissent. It turns protest movements that argue against the unfairness of the current system into a product or marketing campaign to sell their imaginary solutions. The Barbie is a prime example of this.
I liked the I’m Just Ken song though, and it was a fun movie, but still.

Well, that’s a pretty reductive way of looking at the message.
I’ll give you a hint, why do you think it is that Barbie ultimately refused to participate in the hypercommodified world after the status quo has been restored with even slight improvements being made?
