I don’t see what the big deal is with this Katniss Barbie doll thing.

They’re just making Katniss, not a bunch of the characters and an arena.

And if you’re going to start yelling about the violence that can occur from it, you should probably start yelling at all of the 11 year olds playing grand theft auto and call of duty, too.

I think I’ve made my point.

or we could talk about how they’re sexualizing a character who isn’t meant to be sexualized

but oh wait I forgot we aren’t allowed to have women in this world who are simply strong and smart they have to be made into plastic as well and made a fashion toy for little girls to dress up so they can also grow up to want to be made into plastic as well

forgive me I am just so stupid
