> [@Intergalactic\_Gladiator](#): > > I’m pretty sure Barbie passes the Bechdel test. In fact, maybe, but not in spirit. I own all the published collections of Bechdel’s comics, including the one with the “Bechdel Test,” and the autobiographically annotated one. I’ve also met Alison Bechdel in person, twice-- once I had a pretty long conversation with her, and the other, I went to an informal cartooning workshop she had. She is not a fan of impossibly proportioned women’s bodies in media of any form. ---
