I'm gonna be honest, I have no idea what's up with the whole Barbie movie thing. Why would any person over the age of 7 care about it? Why is the whole internet obsessed over it? Genuine question
Lemme tell you, it’s mostly not for 7 years olds. It’s more so for those who grew up in the 80s and 90s.
Aside from who it’s for, it is genuinely a very fun and funny movie. It’s impressive that it was produced given some of the swings it takes, and while not all of its messaging sticks the landing, it does a good job raising questions about modern masculinity, and women’s role in that world.
Well, I just asked because I was curious why people are talking about it, I'm not interested in the movie itself.
Every few months people will get raved up about something I couldn't give less of a fuck about and for about a month the internet becomes hell as everyone talks about this thing, from general topic podcasts to political streamers, etc. It was like that with the stupid purple hitler marvel movies, Squid Game, Arcane, etc.
Since it's somewhat political a number of people are bound to get their panties twisted in a bunch so hell will probably continue for the foreseeable future.
Giving out some 'not like the other boys/girls' vibes.
"I'm curious why people are talking about the thing but don't want to know anything about the thing" said no non-idiot ever.
Geez, drama queen much?
Including yourself, clearly. Nice touch with the casual misogyny btw
I really hope so. Sounds like hell for you is others enjoying and discussing things that you don't like and making memes about it, so long may hell continue!
I can't even imagine what kind of horrible person I'm in your head for you to take a common expression and make this shit up. The type of people I was talking about were morons like Bench Appearo, Dim Fool and the guy who punched that firefighter, and left wing commentators are probably gonna respond to them. It's just kinda annoying when every single commentary/polital youtuber talks about the same piece of media at the same time. No need for you to get fired up over my personal pet peeves.
