Man Bun Ken Is Every Dudebro You’ve Ever Encountered

Man Bun Ken™ truly arrived at the perfect moment. On Tuesday, Mattel unveiled a slew of new Ken dolls that are more diverse than ever, and one in particular captured the heart of the meme-obsessed Internet: Man Bun Ken.

 

With political hot takes flying faster than the speed of light yesterday, Man Bun Ken™ became a perfect stand-in for every obnoxious, mansplaining dudebro that you’ve ever had to suffer through conversations with. 

 

Democrat Jon Ossoff losing a closely-contested special election in the deeply-red Georgia 6th? Man Bun Ken™ has thoughts!

 

 

 

But why go in hard on Ossoff when you could just blame a woman instead?

 

 

If you hadn’t already observed, Man Bun Ken™ hates “identity politics!”

 

 

 

 

And is convinced that the man who lost the Democratic primary could have won the general election (the logistics of electoral politics be damned!).

 

 

Through it all, Man Bun Ken™ assures you he’s definitely a feminist.

Never change, Man Bun Ken.™ We have too much fun satirizing you on Twitter dot com.

 

 

Before you go, we hope you’ll consider supporting DAME’s journalism.

Today, just tiny number of corporations and billionaire owners are in control the news we watch and read. That influence shapes our culture and our understanding of the world. But at DAME, we serve as a counterbalance by doing things differently. We’re reader funded, which means our only agenda is to serve our readers. No both sides, no false equivalencies, no billionaire interests. Just our mission to publish the information and reporting that help you navigate the most complex issues we face.

But to keep publishing, stay independent and paywall free for all, we urgently need more support. During our Spring Membership drive, we hope you’ll join the community helping to build a more equitable media landscape with a monthly membership of just $5.00 per month or one-time gift in any amount.
