A Christian influencer is very concerned about Barbie dolls,
not due to Barbie dolls placing an unreasonable expectation of beauty on
young people or anything like that.
She's concerned about yoga Barbie because yoga Barbie according to her
means Satanism.
>> Sure. >> So the doll, which sits cross legged in
cloud-pattern pajamas next to a little dog, sounds dangerous,
also wears a crescent moon shaped necklace charm with a button that
when pressed prompts yoga Barbie to recite five guided meditations.
There are also four cloud emojis on pegs that can be placed on the puppy's
head to express an emotion while the doll is equipped with 15 joint,
allowing it to contort into an array of yoga poses.
So here's an image of the doll that has triggered this Christian influencer.
And Mattel apparently advertises the doll to help children
practice self care and inspire mindfulness.
The culture of self care by the way,
imagine living in a country where we don't have to put aside time for self care.
Imagine living in a country where we're happy and
we don't need to put time aside specifically for self care.
Anyway, but putting that aside, so
the Christian, I guess micro influencer, I don't even know what that means.
Yasmin Surrey has some thoughts about this,
Satan always comes as appearing innocent.
He will never come with horns and a pitchfork.
This Barbie has five guided meditations.
Remember yoga is Hinduism, wait, hold on, let's pause for
a second, is Hinduism Satanism.
>> No, that's exactly what I was gonna get to.
Ana so there's a lot of hilarious and interesting things here, but a lot of
the Evangelical Christians like her say, you cannot criticize my beloved religion,
otherwise it's deeply offensive and you should be banned from everything.
How dare you criticize Christianity?
She just called Hinduism Satanism without blinking an eye, so
you can criticize other people's religion but we can't criticize yours, interesting.
Well listen, if yoga is Satanism, Satan gave me some pretty, pretty good biceps.
>> [LAUGH] >> Okay, no, anyway, I by the way,
yes, there is a religious component to yoga,
I guarantee you Americans are not doing yoga for its religious purposes at all.
It's so stupid.
>> That gives me [INAUDIBLE].
>> In fact when I don't do yoga,
I feel like Satan because of how stressful my job is.
>> Okay, well that's a different thing.
>> Yeah. >> Okay, look,
that's the second point I wanted to make.
I have known dozens and dozens of people in my life who have done yoga,
not one of them converted to Hinduism.
Is that a thing that I missed?
You go do yoga and then everybody's like, my God,
I did a certain pose instantly I became Hindu and I believe in the forecast and
I believe in Ganesh with the elephants head etc.
Is that a thing that happens?
>> Even if they do.
So what?
>> I know.
>> So what?
Okay, let me give you more of her insane statements.
You cannot separate the poses from the religion,
each post is designed to invoke a Hindu deity in the spirit realm.
I have seen children get possessed by demons.
>> Have you? >> You need to go to a mental institution,
I'm not saying that as an insult,
I'm concerned that you might shoot up a school.
>> Yeah, I will add that I also see it as an insult.
There are no children who are possessed by demons.
That is a fantasy of yours and but it's a very dangerous fantasy.
We covered a week ago, some mom and a pastor who thought that their child,
three year old was possessed by demons and they murdered her, okay.
So your fantasies are really dangerous.
And by the way, everybody always says this the fundamentalist religious people,
they're like, Satan's everywhere you can't tell where Satan is.
He might be in a Barbie doll.
Then how do we know you're not Satan?
I mean, you're the one saying that the kids are possessed by demons and
we should do weirdo things to them that might harm them.
Maybe you're Satan.
>> I will say this as a woman living in America whose
reproductive rights are about to be stripped away from her.
I do see Evangelicals as Satan, I do.
>> And then by the way- >> Go cry about it, go cry about it.
>> No, go cry, go cry, I'll collect it right here, okay, in my mug.
I need you to cry about how we offended your religion when you just
called Hindus Satan.
>> Free speech baby, free speech.
Let me give you more, she says the Barbie also teaches you deep breathing,
deep breathing.
>> No, is it true?
And then what happens?
You clown of clowns?
>> Her pet is also involved.
>> [LAUGH] I mean, come on lunatics man.
>> Satan is after the children.
He wants to use them and indoctrinate them for his glory.
Then when he's done he will destroy them.
>> No, there's an excellent chance you will destroy them because you
are a certified lunatic.
And I don't get, it look lunatics hide behind the religion all the time.
Halloween is for Satan, Harry Potter.
No, you lunatics, Harry Potter is not real.
I know that you think that competes with your voodoo?
And you're, is it true?
No, it's not true.
They don't fly around on brooms and play quidditch, okay.
You all right, go ahead.
By the way, there's also Christian yoga, Christians took yoga and
they put their own flavor into it.
>> And that's but that's not Satanic that's Angelic.
I mean, we're having fantasies.
So why not just make up weirdo other stuff.
Look, it's just exercise and it's just a doll, get over it.
>> And by the way it does not corrupt your Children.
My daughter bought a disabled Barbie, I don't know why she did, but she did,
she's wonderful.
It's not because she wants to be disabled, okay.
Please stop being crazy.
Go get mental health counseling and get out of fundamentalist religion
