dementomstie Well... you do have to consider the fact that it's a fashion doll. It's not like they're going to drastically change how they present a million dollar toy franchise. And it's a heck of a lot better than having Barbie say "Math is hard" and "Cooking is fun". These are actually funny and while they don't present Strong Female Characters(http://harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=311) they also don't have the girls fawning hopelessly over boys all the time. For Barbie from the 80's this is practically a feminist manifesto.
Mr. Purple Cat Esq. I dont think the men are stereotypical, where are their beards??
IrishWhiskey She's off at a fashion show, weren't you paying attention?
I know the 'beard' comment had to be a set-up, but whatever, I'm lazy and I'll take it.
Xenocide Reality TV and soap operas have been doing it for years, so I'm glad that kids' TV finally has its own entry in the "Rich White People With No Real Problems" genre.

Way to basically be worse than ever before, Mattel.
Sudan no1 It sucks when screenwriters make all the men doofuses in a lazy attempt to strengthen the 'girl power' message, but if it keeps brony types from getting into the show its not all bad.
