A lack of cultural nostalgia attached to the toy and wariness of the film’s feminist messaging may have kept the Korean audience away from the Hollywood mega-hit: "There is no real fan base for ‘Barbie’ in Korea.”

All the Ken’s care about are Patriarchy, horses, and mini-fridges, because they were given no rights or ideas of their own before Ken went to the real world, and he was only there for a few hours.
It’s not a critique of men in general.
Any dude getting personally upset about the portrayal of the Kens is telling on himself
That would be an argument if they men in the real world weren’t portrayed the same way. They shit on men in both worlds.
Some of the men were, others were shown to be normal. They really only showed a handful of real world men anyway, and Ken got all his inspiration from a few corporate suits (and honestly, a lot of male suits do act like that).
