BARBIE THINKS YOU NEED A RIGHT GOOD SPANKING, SLUT

[defrog]

ITEM [via trillsie]: Mattel’s new collector’s edition Black Canary Barbie® is due out in September.

Cue the inevitable.



Oh, DO stop.

I’m not particularly interested in defending Barbie, and I’m not that big a fan of Black Canary as a character, either. But I do find it funny that people can look at this toy and say, “O look! Barbie is promoting S&M to children!” Especially when (1) most kids have no concept of what BDSM is, and certainly wouldn’t get it from a Barbie in a superhero outfit, and (2) no one’s ever said that about Black Canary, even though she (and her daughter) have been wearing that costume since 1947.

Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dominatrix dress like this. Maybe I don’t get out enough. But I have five American dollars that says dominatrixes only wear an outfit like this on request (presumably from customers who want to be dominated by Black Canary).

Besides, a proper BDSM Barbie would look nothing like that.

She’d look more like this.



Everyone knows that.

Show me the ropes,

This is dF

Oh and BarbieCollector.com says she wears "patterned tights" and not fishnets.

Well of COURSE she does.

She just looks Ukrainian to me. Heck, Ukrainian women will even wear flesh colored fishnets.
