average as in not very pretty? so you have a definition of pretty and you are okay with it being the standard however just want an average faced doll?

I wouldn't consider myself very knowledgable such as topics like these, so just curious about what the thinking is behind it.

I think the parent poster means Barbie dolls that look more like regular people. Classic Barbie looks like a model.

Yes. I was trying to criticize that Barbie dolls hold up an unrealistic beauty standard while trying to be inclusive about disabilities, color or gender.

I don't understand their comment. "Average" women are pretty imo. Do they mean below average?
