mochi Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 in 1992 Mattel decided they needed to make Ken "cooler" so they started doing marketing research of things they though 90's kids would think were cool, they decided "raves" were a thing that 90's kids thought were cool, so they started reasearching Rave fashion (which at the time Raves were EXTREMELY Gay) and ended up designing a Ken doll that looked like this they named the doll "earring magic Ken" and it became the best selling Ken doll in history because Gay men were buying it when Mattel realized how Gay it was they discontinued it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenguinBoss Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Man, it must have been nice when the gays could fly under the radar like that. No way that could happen today. Although that doesn't mean I don't want it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

America is at a weird place where we're both more open about homosexuality, and more homophobic than we've ever been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juicy Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Maybe one day they'll make an anatomically-correct "Out of the Closet Ken" and gay men everywhere can use his head to stimulate prostate orgasm. I'm sure you would find something extremely homophobic about that as well, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
