Can I say, 'Whoa... Really?'

Apparently Engineer Barbie can only design, not develop without the help of men. According to many news outlets, many were in shock as these went on sale.

To quote:

“I’m designing a game that shows kids how computers work … You can make a robot puppy do cute tricks by matching up coloured blocks!” But Barbie goes on to admit: “I’m only creating the design ideas … I’ll need Steven and Brian’s help to turn it into a real game!”

Later Barbie, who wears her flash drive on a pink heart-shaped necklace, gets a computer virus, and infects Skipper’s computer. Ribon quotes: “Hi, guys,” says Barbie. “I tried to send you my designs, but I ended up crashing my laptop — and Skipper’s too! I need to get back the lost files and repair both of our laptops.”

“It will go faster if Brian and I help,” offers Steven.“Great!” says Barbie.”

Needless to say these were immediately pulled and prevented from sale.
