Actually the new Barbie movie maybe more insidious than I was initially led to believe....

I naturally assumed that because it's Barbie, the message of the movie would be salutary and wholesome as for generations, Barbie has provided young girls with a charming template to which aspire and emulate.

However, I'm hearing more and more that it's a vehicle to indoctrinate the young with feminism ideological beliefs and feminist cynical sneering.

Has anyone actually seen it yet?

You're a person who complains about the dumbest shit, so who cares what you're hearing about anything

The ending she goes to the gynecologist and thats how it ends. She has plastic parts and wanted human parts. The end.

Maybe try seeing it? Although it sounds like your mind has been made up by whatever far-right echo chamber you subscribe to…

Snore . Who cares. It’s a movie. See it for yourself, or don’t . Make up your own mind ,based on what you see, not what others say

From Dr. Seuss, to Big Bird....now it's Barbie.
TX Senator Ted Cruz once again accused the Barbie movie of pushing “Chinese communist propaganda” - even though he hasn’t seen it.
Like a good Republican. Cruz never misses the chance to find an 'enemy' and to fearmonger the base. I am surprised that he didn't alert We The People, to this new threat to the security of America, as 'The Pink Scare.'
It is troubling when Cruz and his GOP pals seem intent on finding the next boogey man to alert us too, as opposed to actually governing our country and passing laws that the vast majority of Americans support.

Cruz is up for reelection in 2024. Perhaps the people of Texas have finally had enough of Raphael, and will send him packing. I am not hopeful. Texas leads the nation in voter apathy.

I had to google this to see if it's real, because it's just too silly.
Yup it's real.
Vanity Fair has the headline Ted Cruz Goes to War with Barbie 🤣
Apparently because there's a crayon line drawing vaguely depicting the South China Sea that's inaccurate.
The film’s distributor Warner Bros. has emphasized that the line was intended to “depict Barbie’s make-believe journey from Barbie Land to the real world. It was not intended to make any kind of statement."

Ted, you're a silly douche.
The movie , No.
The doll, yes.

Barbie is feminist in that women are definitely too short and fat. Empowerment is getting that weight down and the blonde up.
Feminism is about being the most expensive woman on the market and driving your own hard bargain.

@JSul3 We are in fact a partnership and have been for 50 years. However, she is the spokesperson..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Bravo! December 2023 will be 47 years for us.
@JSul3 I think that Rulership is the problem. the Patriarchy has been a disaster for millennia. to use the same toxic structure, of hierarchical abuse an institutional bigotry, will continue to malfunction even if Women were in charge of it. Tho I think it would be more benign than it is with men, it is the structure itself that is badly formed, no matter who is in charge of it

more understanding here, on the power and corruption:

My favourite part of it was when they split the glitter particle and use that technology to make Japan FABULOUS.

I was cynical too, but if you don’t understand what it’s about then you have very little life experience.

I've seen it. I wasn't impressed. I thought it was dumb.
DDonde · 31-35, M
I haven't seen it, but why don't you go see it instead of asking others how you should feel about a movie you've never seen?
