The latest toxic Twitter discourse is all about Barbie ... and what owning one has meant when it comes to money and class.
A former toy owner has claimed Barbie was never for the broke and downtrodden but, rather, for the rich/privileged -- however, as the Queen once said ... recollections may vary.this weekend ... this, after comedianposted a tweet that clearly PO'd Barbie fans everywhere, who came out in droves to correct her take on the doll's affordability, historically.
In her OG remarks, which have been deleted, she wrote ..."don't know if this is entirely fair but when someone says 'I grew up loving Barbie' I hear 'my family was not poor.'" She goes on to describe kids who had Barbies growing up as ones who"had savings accounts and went on vacations." Avery also cheekily invited Barbie discourse in a follow-up tweet.

Are we really going to rewrite history and pretend that Barbie dolls were rare exclusives reserved solely for the elites
