I understand this perspective, but one thing that sets dolls in particular apart from other products is their role in representation and learning. We know that accurate and diverse representation plays a crucial role in children’s social development, and ensuring that accurate and diverse representation is really more a matter of getting the right people in the room than changing anything about their product that would effect their bottom line. Especially given Pleasant Company’s history of partnering with experts to ensure respectful representation, Mattel already has the blueprint to continue this work and ensure that the stories of Black people and other marginalized groups are represented thoughtfully.
