yeah, the concept of "barbie" has literally been around since mid/late 1900s but i don't think the newer content has much of that

Stardust-Reader wrote: "Ok, so Ken is Barbie's boyfriend right?I mean, I have seen him in Toy Story"
He’s not, like ok so there’s barbie life in the dream house where they don’t really acknowledge their relationship as anything more than friend even though they acted like a couple, I’m not sure since I last saw it when I was 7. But the new show on Netflix, in that ken is just friendzoned for life if it is up to barbie.
