Mattel's Barbie is hyper sexualized, always was. She's got 38DDs and a wasp waist, so she doesn't need a dominatrix outfit.
The powers that be who make the decision to sexualize toys are often so jaded, they never stop to consider the damage such a toy does to a young mind. All they care about is the toy selling, and sex sells, even to three year olds. This unhinged pursuit of money is what will get them hung from lampposts if it comes to that. Hopefully it won't, because events like that have a lot of collateral damage baked into the cake.
