Ok, so why not make a mainstream Christian or Jewish Barbie? There are more Christians and Jews in US than there are Muslims. If it were about profit—those religions would make a lot more sense. This isn’t about profit. This is about virtue signaling.
Also, FYI, less than half of one percent of Americans wear hijab...so if it’s only about profit, that’s some pretty shitty marketing.
Yes I get that, but manufacturers must think they are going to make a profit. Having said that, maybe Muslim Barbie is the same doll, except with different attire? If so, this wouldn't cost too much to make after all. Yes virtue signalling.
Perhaps --and I stress, perhaps-- Mattel is thinking this will turn a profit simply because of the virtue signal factor. All kinds of minority fetishists might purchase Hijarbie to "smash western Patriarchy" and promote multiculturalism.
It’s marketing of a different kind.. intended to demonstrate their ‘inclusive’ credentials. Unfortunately all part of a trend that is normalising anti misogynist headwear. Muslim Brotherhood must be so happy, even if they otherwise disapprove Barbie.
