I feel like you could say Ken mentally abused Barbie, and after which, I don’t recall that she forgave him- but she did make peace with him to an extent, which allowed Barbieland to return to what it was.

I don't think "stalked" is the proper term. Ken and Alan Separately hide in the Barbie Car as people are leaving Barbieland. More like unconsensual passengers/hitchhiking situation and pop up from the back seat.

No children are abused in the movie, nor do any parents treat their children poorly.

The closest trigger that may be for a person is that a mother yells. It is during a car chase scene after her daughter makes fun of her, though, it is evident the mother loves her daughter and truly does her best to support her. If needed, the sentence yelled is: "I’m just a boring mom, with a boring job, and a daughter who hates me!"

For anyone that this may be a trigger for, a character's house is taken in front of them, their clothes are thrown out, their friends are gaslighted, and it is in response to them feeling they deserve better than what they experienced. The character that experiences this against them later apologizes for their behavior, saying sorry for taking them for granted, and they both talk about their struggles. For survivors, this may feel hard to watch—seeing someone apologize and empathize when someone else's actions was not their fault.

In reference to the other comment: That joke was meant to sound like “beat off”, as in to masturbate each other. This is not played as a joke about sexual assault on men at all, but as a joke about doing the activity “Beach” better than the other Kens, which sounds like “beat”, for laughs. Not a single reference to assault nor any belittling.
EDIT: Other comment has been deleted— basically OP must have misheard or misinterpreted the scene (which is completely fine and a valid viewpoint since it means it may be unclear and then triggering for other viewers)

I would just add for anyone sensitive to this: there are references at a couple points about the “dolls” not having genitals, with a brief description of the mound that Barbie dolls have in the genital area.

When the Kens are fighting one of the Kens "stabs" another Ken with a lacrosse stick. It goes under his arm and in a theatrical way he "dies". All of it is played off as very playful/childish/theatrical.

No; not technically. For the Barbies in Barbie land, there is body horror and they treat it as such when stereotypical Barbie begins to have realistic body behavior such as having her heels touch the ground— which is unusual for them and out of the ordinary.

Preface: No fall actually occurs, but if you’re sensitive to the idea of it happening, there are a couple scenes while Barbie is at Mattel HQ, and she’s running down the stairs in very high heels. Even made me cringe a little out of nerves lol.

Barbie doesn't quite get kidnapped, but someone (Mattel) does sort of try to. There's a scene with her being chased by them as they try and take her against her will, not to mention they put twist ties around her (meant to resemble restraints in this case) as she's in the box.

When Barbie (Margot Robbie) is at her lowest point, a commercial then plays for a "depressed" Barbie doll. After it's over, Barbie is found by Weird Barbie (Kate McKinnon), and then there's a jump scare in which an image of a tampered Barbie doll is quickly flashed onscreen.

Not possession in the typical sense, but Ken brainwashes the Barbies into being hyper-feminine shells of themselves. This might still be distressing depending on what your exact phobia is/how bad it is.

y’all i am a SEVERE emetophobe and the scenes did not bother me at all. based on these comments i was expecting the flat feet scene to be way worse but it was not realistic at all. it just sounded like “bleh.” plus, there was screaming over the gagging so you couldn’t really hear it. as for the seasick scene, it literally lasts 1 second and there is music over it. the audio is not bad it sounds like when a cartoon character throws up. there is no visual and you can’t even see the vomit going into the bag

No. There is a brief scene where catcallers likely perceive Barbie and Ken as being trans (Barbie tells them off for objectifying her and says she "doesn't even have a v*gina," and likewise Ken "doesn't have a p*nis"), but the catcallers just say "alright" before Barbie and Ken quickly leave. Nothing disrespectful is said about trans people specifically.

The bullying of Weird Barbie for being "weird" could be seen as representing ableism towards neurodiverse women, but there's nothing explicitly linked to autism, and Weird Barbie is apologized to in the end.

When Barbie is trying to sip tea, she slurps in a way that made me cringe, but it's extremely brief. There's a sort of creaking sound when the "dolls" move sometimes, very unlikely to be triggering to anyone but figured I'd mention it just in case.

Probably not meant to imply that autistic people themselves are a trigger (I mean by that token where was the outrage when chronic and mental illnesses were added?) but more sometimes it’s good to know ahead of time if it’s good representation or bad representation. Although why it’s greyed out I DEFINITELY don’t get [update: Thank you guys for addressing both concerns]

Near the end of the movie when the old lady takes Barbie's hands and tells her to close her eyes there's a montage of people in various stages of light that has a shifting light effect that could be troublesome for photosensitive viewers.

This category is not about men being made fun of for wearing femme clothes, it’s about the creator/script deliberately putting a man in femme items with that itself being the “joke”— not comments made about the man wearing them.

There are references to patriarchy and gender roles but these constructs aren’t condoned. Ken is ridiculed for wearing *effeminate* clothes (“emasculating” doesn’t have the same definition, to say the least).

Throughout the movie, there are uncomfortable attitudes towards characters who don't have sex and aren't interested in dating. Firstly, it's a joke for the audience that Barbie and Ken don't know about sex (i.e., they're not sure what the purpose is of staying the night at a partner's house), and that Ken proclaims Barbie is his girlfriend and tries to kiss her when she's clearly not interested in romance nor kissing. Additionally, Barbie's and Ken's lack of genitals is commented on and joked about at least 4 times. It's just 1 of several kinds of "haha they're dolls" jokes, but it's common enough that it's weird people are fixating on their inability to have sex. Lastly, *SPOILER* at the end of the movie, newly human Barbie is excited when she's dropped off at the gynecologist by Sasha, Gloria, and Gloria's husband, who are all grinning and supportive like it's great she finally has a v*gina lol.

When Barbie is leaving Barbie land she is surprised and swerves which makes the car go off road and flips mid air. It's very comical and no one is hurt. The same thing happens towards the end of the movie when 3 people are trying to leave Barbie land

There is a major fight scene in the end, but there aren’t real weapons and they don’t have guns at all. Nothing gory.
