>>9291294So what I'm getting from this is that Mattel hired Neura because he checked off several boxes in the diversity hire list rather than his actual raw talent. This proves several things:
>You're not imagining it, the quality of the Babs toyline did take a turn for the worse since Neura took the helm.>Mattel's complaints about Bab's slowing sales is irrelevant because the obvious solution would be to fire Neura and hire someone actually competent at designing an attractive doll line.>But Neura will never be fired because "The Message" is more important than the actual product sold.>If Mattel truly cares very little about Barbie, it's flagship toyline, than what about it's other lines like Hot Wheels & He-Man?>How does Mattel stay financially soluble if product quality and money are not it's main concerns?INB4 guaranteed replies. Last thought. If I was Neura, I would be outraged that Mattel hired me it's token pet to show off rather than for my talent. But then again, Neura seems to be too much of a simp to actually have a backbone.
