Do you find wheelchair becky offensive to people in wheelchairs??

Question

i have the wheelchair becky barbie doll and the box says "she's the school photographer!" i like that they made dolls to represent different people and its nice for a child in a wheelchair to atleast have the option of having a toy in the wheelchair. the problem i have is the way the made her "the school photographer" its not horrible, but something about it seems like a put down, like she is not quiet cool enough. they might as well have made her part of the drama club!

Answer 1

=/

it's only an insult if you've got a problem with photographers... I don't see what your issue is, to be honest. (Also - what's wrong with Drama Club? Isn't that just people who like doing drama..? :s)

on the other hand CALLING her "Wheelchair Becky" could be a bit offensive, her wheelchair shouldn't be her defining feature ;)

Answer 2

yes!!!

Answer 3

you have a barbie doll????
