It's cause they accidentally made him the Best Part

Considering how much of a mixed feminist metaphor the movie is, it's so surprising that they made such a stereotypical male character, intentionally and blatant had him written to start to believe in a bunch of bullshit that caused him to become a stereotypical macho asshole and essentially invent the patriarchy in Barbieland, and yet made his arc so good and believable that he's arguably the most liked character in that movie.

Ken is simultaneously supposed to be an oppressed gender minority (IE essentially Barbieland treats men like IRL women for the majority of the 20th century), yet also a symbol of stereotypical Alpha / Incel Macho culture that infects men and is imposed on women, and somehow they managed to do both very well with a very understandable character who so blatantly and clearly does not get nor deserve the love of the main character yet still is so likable.

i guess the true moral of the movie is that ryan gosling is fucking awesome and literally me.
