rant in comments ig

i mean the movie itself isnt bad ig and the ending had some good parts
but I just really hate how it portrays men and patriarchy in general, it honestly pisses me off that it's depicting men (or rather, men in power) as assholes. the fact that in the beninigngig the first interaction barbie had with real men is creepy. i know creepy men do exist, but the movie constantly shoves it in my face that masculinity is bad and toxic. i hate how near the conflict, every ken is a toxic piece of shit that treats the barbies like objects, which is not how most men act (afaik). it's just disrespectful as hell and I felt like the idea of feminism was shoved in my face. i;ll give credit where it's due, it portrays the kens as people that misunderstood it and just want some love, but I still hated how much that idea of "patriarchy bad, men toxic, women need to be at the top, women best" was present. maybe I don't understand, but that's how it looked like to me. not every woman needs to be rising to the top. i don't want to be in charge of a company. just because a man is a CEO doesn't mean that women are disrespected.

My brother in christ... It's the f**king Barbie movie.

your point

Again, its the damned Barbie movie. It shouldn't be criticized. It's just for kids.

i am not referring to the old kids barbie movies

just cuz a movie is a kids film doesn't mean it cant be criticized
and the barbie movie is pg13, they literally have creepy homeless men talking about barbie's genitals and swearing and all that shit

Yeah, but thats my point. Its the f**king Barbie movie. That should be the last movie that should be criticized. Also, I've never seen the damn movie so yeah.

then why the hell are you saying it shouldn't be criticized?
you haven't seen it
mf just cuz it's barbie doesn't mean I cant criticize it

Ya know what? You win. I got nothing for that counter. See ya.

oppenheimer better

idk I didn't watch any

i didnt see oppenheimer but i'd like to

the movie industry is trying too hard to shove representation in our faces. when can we get a good, quality, well-written movie?

exactly
if it's done well, kudos to the studio
especially when it adds to the media etc
but the barbie movie feels like toxic ideals shoved into my face

i’d LOVE a new movie that’s good, and makes way for sequels. like star wars or avengers or indiana jones, but like, y’know, not that same exact concept

just not something with so much forced representation and good story

like, diversity is good, but white straight muscular men is always good every now and then

yep
just cuz there's a white person doesn't make it "bigoted" or "white male supremacy"
that in itself is propaganda
also I hate how their idea of diversity seems to eliminate most white people and replace them with minorities

honestly idk what i'd want
spiderverse is really good so yeah

Real

You totally don’t run into any creepy men on here…

But yeah I agree. My older sister was looking forward to it so much and was extremely disappointed with all the messaging.

*cough cough* jeffrey, andrew, slobama, moonman, fwv, thehugepi- *cough cough*
based older sister
and so was I
i heard it was really good but it was hard to enjoy with how infested it was with politics and feminism. i didn't say anything because my mother really liked it, although I think it was for the other stuff, because she doesn't have those "woman superiority" ideals (afaik)

thehugepiss
no way
