Mattel RECALLED This Toy After Realising It Was GAY

Qxir | September 16, 2025



They say love is blind, and so are toy designers.

“Earring Magic Ken is a model of the Ken doll introduced by Mattel in 1993 as a companion to its Earring Magic Barbie figure, one of six dolls in the Earring Magic Barbie line. This generation of the Ken doll featured an updated look, including blonde highlights in his traditionally brown hair, outfits including lavender mesh shirt, purple leather vest, a necklace with a circular charm and, as the name indicates, an earring in his left ear.
The doll is historical for being the highest-selling Ken doll in history, and for the controversy that ensued upon its debut.”

    1:18 disney famously was sued back in the 80s-90s (i think 80s) for not letting a gay couple slow dance. They fought tooth and nail to not let gay couples slow dance in their park it's actually kinda ridiculous

    Yeah you are right about it being weird they never did a rerelease.. like it was possibly the best selling Ken doll and if the main issue was the.. necklace.. then yeah literally just not having the main controversial accessory would be an easy fix lol

    There was also a G.I. Joe at about the same time, same size, same Oh, Yeah, Hey, Thanks, Cool, Exactly What I W… a military dude with plenty of "gear not included" and poor dude, they didn't make him a girlfriend BUT, he had buddies, with also plenty of "gear"… could it be that they were all… nah, they wouldn't sell that to kids to "play with" would they?

    Well the lgtv wanted everyone to kiss their ass and now that everyone is kissing their ass they still find a way to complain about it not being genuine. That's what happens when you bully people into submission by slapping words that end in phobic on them.
