I can't imagine feeling this hurt about a Barbie movie
Dude confused Barbie with Oppenheimer.
Barbie was a funny movie, the only people complaining about "the propaganda" are retards who don't understand women are people.
I thought the movie was kinda funny but mostly just a mess in terms of plot structure and tone. Calling it propaganda is hilarious. How fragile do you have to be to be triggered by a movie as tame as barbie. To me it amounted to a tiktok compilation of semi-funny feminist memes, hardly the 'Blazing Saddles' of feminism.
Pretty much, the plot was dumb and the story wasn't much better but that didn't stop it from being a fun watch. Ironically Ryan Gosling, a man, was the best part of the movie.
Tame is a good word to describe the messaging.
The extremely bad, incoherent, absurd and contradictory script is not funny. The sexism, in this case tons of misandry, is not funny. And yes, the constant ideological propaganda of a hate movement is not funny.
Just throwing around ad hominem labeling everyone who doesn't like a misandric message as misogynists, or the false dichotomy that you must be a feminist and buy into their whole hate pack to be an egalitarian, now that's retarded.
Ironic, the only people who think you don't like Barbie because you don't think women are people, are people who don't think men are people.
Swing and a miss, bud.
I remember when Thomas Propaganda invented it in 2016.
Thomas Propaganda was just the first to patent it!
Yep, Paw Patrol and Saw X are definitely propaganda!
This user thinks Jimmy Hoffa proves all unions forever are bad, but demands rock-solid proof that Jordan Peterson does the thing he's primarily known for doing.
Leave.
Hoffa was supremely corrupt, and really championed labor.
Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
I got curious and looked at the comment the other guy referenced. I don't think it leaves much room for nuance:
Poor.
I pirate so I can watch the propaganda for free, lol
Lol haha
Lmao you probably don’t blink an eye at the US Military funding the Transformers movies or having veto power for Marvel scripts.
But yeah, sure, Barbie’s the propaganda.
Amazing. A Quiet Place was propaganda, but Iron Man was a piece of high art because
-checks notes-
it was made before 2016.
Holy fuck my dude I rewatched that movie earlier this year and it's kinda garbage. The white saviour is real in that movie.
Ohh no, not my propaganda movie Tenet, they advocate running and driving backward.
It's a comspiracy to convince people Moonwalker wasn't faked!
Ah, there's that nuance you mentioned.
Movies have been used as propaganda since they were invented. Maybe you've heard of a little film that came out in the 1930s call Tell Your Childres also known as Reefer Madness.
Hey everybody, Joker (2019) was propaganda!
Come on Barbie, let's go party!
