Liked this approach. Adorns really is a good lens to peep through for a movie like this. My first inclination was to think qua some Deleuzian mishmash ("But Mattel knows nothing about feminism. Or assholes, for that matter,") but I'm glad I read your take.
But ... maybe a Deleuze style take would be the best way to read the negative partisanship that juices Ben Shapiro's strange attempts at Barbie criticism. A desiring-machine that has had its desire enucleated. Clenched-jaw pursed-frown masculinity being the body without organs, and Shapiro being always/already caught up in the movement and semicoherent intensities of the body. A becoming-nazi, if you will.

Sorry, I'm too full of caffeine.
