Female Empowerment Propaganda
Nothing to see here. Barbie is just part of the female empowerment propaganda machine disguised as a fun nostalgic summer flick. Woke, check. Anti-male, check. Fat Barbie, check.

shareWomen can be portrayed as empowered without bashing men. I haven’t seen Barbie, but what I’ve heard about it does sound like it could be anti-male. I’ll wait until it comes to streaming to watch.
shareI think calling anti-male is kind of inaccurate, it is not wrong, just inaccurate. From what I understand the movie is about the barbie land, a perfect matriarchy society, which is clearly the feminist fantasy, everything is run by barbie, kens have no say of anything. The main Barbie and Ken went to the real world, and Ken found out he was actually noticed and respected, so he went back to the barbie land tried to turn things around, and the barbie defeated his attempt, in the end the barbie land went back the way it was, the perfect world entirely run by barbies, the happy ending.
So it is a feminist matriarchy fantasy, and clearly they don't want gender equality.
ANTI-INCEL is not Anti-Male
shareTrue, but Barbie is not just anti-incel, it is definitely anti-male. All the kens and all the men in the real world are portrayed very badly and the film promotes discrimination against men. Have you seen the film?
shareThe original Ken doll was an effeminate CHAD, and Gosling's character pays homage to, as well as deprecates the silliness of the aesthetic. This aspect goes over the heads of Rightwingers who think any message from Hollywood is about castration of the delicate White American male ego.
shareThat's one character, but the movie as a whole is anti-male. I'm not a rightwinger and I definitely noticed it. Have you personally seen the film or are you going by what others say?
shareI saw the film on Friday. The Anti-male whining is what most Centrist consider Hyperbole. Rightwingers pick and choose what's Anti-male, then try to generalize it as an entire film's agenda. But, using their criteria, they obviously fail to highlight other famous movie heroines like Ripley from the Alien franchise as a Woke Feminist, even though sll of her character qualities echo the RW definition of Anti-male (ie - Dallas being an oblivious idiot, Hicks being a whiny jockstrap marine).
The same dichotomy could be argued with Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz
DID YOU SEE STARSHIP TROOPERS?...THAT FILM AND BARBIE SHARE SOMETHING IN COMMON...BITING SATIRE.
shareIt was not a satire, at least not an intentional one, it was later portrayed by media as satire, because we can not let the idea that rich people are not allowed to have political influence and power sink in.
I think you just bought the media narrative, and media are owned by rich people.
I HAVE READ AND WATCHED NOTHING ABOUT THE MOVIE...I SIMPLY WATCHED THE MOVIE...IT IS A BITING SATIRE AND IT IS FUNNY AS ALL HELL...I ENJOYED IT MORE THAN I ANTICIPATED....I STILL HAVE YET TO WATCH A SINGLE REVIEW OR MEDIA PIECE OR READ A WORD ABOUT THE FILM...EXCEPT WHAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN ON MOVIECHAT...I MAKE MY OPINIONS ON MY OPINIONS...NOTHING ELSE.
shareAnd lots and lot of people calling it satire here, that is how I knew it being called that.
Rich people don't just own media, they own the bots and shills here too.
MMM HMM...THAT IS RIGHT...I READ MOVIECHAT AND FORMED MY OPINION THAT WAY.
I WATCHED THE MOVIE THE WEEK IT WAS RELEASED...I IMMEDIATELY LIKED IT AND RECOGNIZED IT AS A SATIRE...A WELL DONE ONE AT THAT...EVERYTHING ELSE IS JUST EVERYTHING ELSE.
My apologies.
I actually agree voting rights should be earned, that is one of the ways not letting our society falling into plutocracy that is today.
Voerhoven is a genius. We needed more of his movie direction than Didley Scott, who was a great visionary, but decided to become a redundant reductionist these past 20 odd years.
shareNever said they were the same. This film is anti-male and anti-incel.
shareI don't feel empowered by the 4th wave feminazi shit. You couldn't pay me to watch this! I feel insulted and angry that anyone would find this empowering. It's insulting towards motherhood, it's insulting towards real feminism, and it's insulting towards men. Greta Gerwin can go suck it as far as I'm concerned.
shareWhat is it that some of you want? All movies to cater to male audiences? For women to 'know their place' and not have any media encouraging them to do better?
'Female Empowerment Propoganda'. The horror... the horror.
Barbie is a historical toy for girls. Everyone should have known this movie would cater to girls and women. If you thought this would be some macho man flick for the lads to enjoy then you're a fool. Let the girls have a movie catered to them.
For women to 'know their place' and not have any media encouraging them to do better?
I'm not saying it shouldn't cater to women, but it completely tears down men. Not only that, it could have been better, see how:
We see that in the beginning Kens are ignored and Barbies are the star (I'm good with that, the beginning was great and hilarious). We see Ken and Barbie going through their own trials etc. Then we have the end...A great story/ending would have been the two groups (Ken/Barbie) going through their issues, realizing their differences, and finding empathy for each other, eventually working together or something. Instead, the men are villified at the end and given no power. That is blatant anti-male propaganda.
Instead, the men are villified at the end and given no power.
INCORRECT...DID YOU SEE THE MOVIE?
Think about it, what exactly happened to Ryan Gosling Ken in the end? Is there a real difference from "you can go now" to "you need to go and find yourself"?
Did constitution change to share power with Kens?
At the end it was still a matriarchy, Kens only get what Barbies given to them.
Or you think that is already enough equality?
THE CONSTITUTION OF POWER DID CHANGE...EQUALITY INCOMING...BUT REMEMBER WHEN WOMEN BEGAN GETTING RIGHTS AND EQUALITY?...IT WAS NOT OVERNIGHT...WOMEN DID NOT GET THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND IMMEDIATELY START GETTING PLACED ON TH SUPREME COURT...EQUALITY IS NOT THE STATE OF EVERYONE BEING EQUAL...IT IS THE ABILITY TO WORK/EARN/RECEIVE/ENJOY THE SAME OPPURTUNITES AND RIGHTS.
AGAIN...I SAY...I DO NOT THINK YOU WATCHED THE MOVIE...IF YOU DID...I AM SORRY...YOU ARE JUST TOO DENSE OR ONE-SIDED TO APPRECIATE THE FILM OR SATIRE IN GENERAL.
YOU ARE JUST TOO DENSE OR ONE-SIDED TO APPRECIATE THE FILM OR SATIRE IN GENERAL.

EQUALITY INCOMING...
BUT REMEMBER WHEN WOMEN BEGAN GETTING RIGHTS AND EQUALITY?...IT WAS NOT OVERNIGHT...WOMEN DID NOT GET THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND IMMEDIATELY START GETTING PLACED ON TH SUPREME COURT
YOU CLEARLY EITHER DID NOT WATCH THE MOVIE OR DID NOT PAY ATTENTION...YOUR OPINION IS BASED ON INACCURATE INFORMATION.

>What is it that some of you want?
Movies that are more interested in telling a good story than pushing agenda? You know, like plenty of them are?
Bingo!! You summed that up pretty well and everything else unfortunately fell by the wayside because of it..
shareis that supposed to be a bad thing...?
