The new Ken doll looks like the fuckboy of our nightmares
Get that man bun away from me
by Una Dabiero
Yesterday, Mattel released a new line of Fashionista Barbie and Ken dolls, including one that should never be given to innocent, impressionable children – the fuckboy with a man bun.
This new Ken looks like our worst nightmare. He looks like the type of guy who texts you ‘u up?’ at 2:30am. Then, when you don’t have an orgasm, he wants to talk about how Nietzsche says nothing really exists – including female pleasure. The next morning, he slides out on his longboard to go to an indie movie.
Before you @ me, realize that Twitter agrees
Ken is definitely a fuckboy
No way he has such good eyebrows if he wasn’t.
His Hawaiian shirt screams ‘I have a travel tumblr blog’
And a religious studies degree, if you’re lucky.
Fuckboy Ken definitely drinks craft beer
He drinks scotch too, with mustache-shaped ice cubes.
He definitely never texts back
Too busy looking at his gym selfies on Instagram.
Fuckboy Ken is also a misogynist
Because what fuckboy isn’t TBH.
He loves to mansplain
Honestly, I’m triggered by this whole thing.
Mattel needs to take these dolls off the shelves ASAP. It’s a public health crisis. Don’t subject us to more fuckboys. My heart can’t take it.
