Barbie - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

I heard of a steriotype that gay guys played with Barbie as a kid.

Did you played with Barbie as a kid?

Kenko · 13th Mar 2009, 07:57 PM

No. My toys were traditional "boy" toys.

EDIT: Well occasionally my sister wanted me to play barbies with her, but I'd just end up pissing her off.

13th Mar 2009, 07:58 PM

You should make a poll to go with this!

I definitely didn't. I mainly played with Kinex, Lego's, and Star Wars action figures.

Hoppip · 13th Mar 2009, 07:59 PM

HELL YES.

Actually, I used to go to the Barbie website and do the "customize your Barbie." She had brown hair and purple clothes. She was so fetch.

But, in my defense, I also played with Bionicles and I played plenty of video games. ^_^

Same

I did but then again I'm a girl so I'm not sure that counts, if anything it goes against the whole lesbian stereotype.

Kenko · 13th Mar 2009, 08:32 PM

Techcompu2: How did you quoting me end up inverting the case on the first letter of every word including my name? With the exception of "boy" and "I'd".

I felt old when I read this:

Nope. The closest I had were "Little People", including the Sesame Street set.

I'm assuming these don't count, since you can't dress them or do anything with their hair.

Lex: Do I want to know what you did with Earnie and Bert? Push their beds together?

I remember litte people. I had a little people car park with elevator.

Cheria · 13th Mar 2009, 08:51 PM

I didn't play with toys as a kid, I ran outside a lot.

ricoca · 13th Mar 2009, 08:56 PM

Hmmm I don;t really remember my toys but I had Legos and whatnots.

My sister told me that Barbies can have tattoos now.

Link to story

LOL.... I'm kinda speechless.

Wander · 13th Mar 2009, 08:57 PM

No, not really. I was more of a Lego kid. My proudest achievement is buying every single Harry Potter Lego set, assembling the entire castle, and putting it all on a shelf as one display piece.

But I do wonder what compels children to remove all a Barbie's clothes as soon as they open the box and toss the naked Barbie aside.

**Maddy** · 13th Mar 2009, 11:16 PM

As a girl, I played with Barbies all the time. Then again, I never had a Ken so my Barbies always ended up lesbians.

Lychee · 13th Mar 2009, 11:34 PM

My mum wouldn't let me play Barbie, and it made me sad. XD

Lex

Why is there no Count toy?

The lack of The Count makes me sad

I ALWAYS used to play with Barbies when I went to my neighbours.
It was great!
It was, like, a blatant soap opera.

BlakeHarmony · 14th Mar 2009, 12:41 AM

Well, I never, ever played with barbies... A babysitter who did not know me at all got me one for christmas, I mutilated it, then gave it to my sister, lol. I hung out with my younger brother and his starwars lego and TONKA trucks (best things in the world!)!!! I never played with my sister, lol.

waitingsucks · 14th Mar 2009, 12:42 AM

I played with barbies a bit and I wanted an action man but my parents wouldn't get me one, my grandma got me a baby born though cos I was jealous of my sister's

but yeah I also played with bionicles and played video games so maybe it doesn't matter

Edit: I remember mutilating my barbies aswell. lol

Apocalypte · 14th Mar 2009, 12:46 AM

I had toy cars before I ever had Barbies...

Haha, same here. Although I only played with them if I wasn't already playing in the pond behind our yard... getting covered in mud and catching frogs. My mother most certainly never appreciated that.

... and then I decapitated the first and only barbie I ever got. I was a brat.

Bunny · 14th Mar 2009, 01:13 AM

Heck yes! They'd go mountain-climbing down the side of my bunkbed...

I played with a little bit of everything, though.
