The character of Ken, played by Ryan Gosling, is described as a "beta cuck" who must ultimately submit to the "girl boss" world order. The film's conclusion, where Barbie visits a gynecologist, is interpreted as a symbol of her becoming a "real girl" who chooses her own path independent of men or children. The analysis claims the movie frames traditional masculinity as a "failed experiment."

Jacques Attali's 2006 book A Brief History of the Future predicted that personal companion bots would be tailored to individuals by 2040. This concept is explored in films like Blade Runner 2049 and Spike Jonze's Her, where AI programs are used to manipulate and emotionally bond with humans. These fictional narratives are viewed as warnings about the deceptive nature of synthetic relationships and the loss of human connection.
