Any exclusionary conformist society can look good on the surface if you ignore the people outside the dominant class. The 50s in America looks idyllic if you ignore black people, women who didnt want to be housewives, leftists etc. Same with barbie world, if you arent a hyper femme straight cis women you probably wouldn't have a good time there. That was sort of the message of the movie too, if you don't make your society open to different people or ways of life it will build resentment that can lead to the fall of the society
