Popular Post Seat68 Posted July 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2023 I can't see a time in my life where I would see the Barbie movie. It is in no way aimed at me, the brief clips I have seen do not make me think I need to see this, that said if that word removed Ben Shapiro is getting offended by it, it might be up my street. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly not the film most people would think it was going to be (prior to release) but it is a thoughtful film. It's got some great "fluff", some excellent gags but it's also got heart and central message that's important. That some have chosen to be offended by it is no surprise but then middle-aged men were never the best at taking feedback. Without seeing the film or knowing anything about it, I already know exactly the type of person who is offended by it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is a **** wet wipe who’d be an incel living in his mom’s basement if he hadn’t found a load of right wing window lickers to lap up his bullshit. He is almost certainly talking absolute horse crap I cant say i know much about him tbh so i cant comment hence why i asked if anyone had seen it. I wont watch it as its not for me Seems to be getting a lot of heat about his video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harkanon Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 People who micro analyse everything to suit an agenda are fun sponges and I actively avoid them in my real life. Cmon, it's a move about Barbie. Probably a comedy, most likely not some sort of political message. It's been made to make money by being entertaining, cos ya know, that's the aim. Btw, Ben Shapiro is a jabroni. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness the Barbie movie by all accounts is 'deeper' than just a comedy, it has a pretty pointed feminist message that it apparently has the subtlety of a hammer in putting across, whilst being funny. Which seems to have got the usual suspects wound up - performatively, perhaps - as anything that carefully points out the smallest criticism of anything masculine is an evil seeking to cut penises off and make everyone gay.

Popular Post VILLAMARV Posted July 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2023 I love how this thread transitions seamlesly from "you can't say this anymore" into "have you seen what the Barbie Movie has said" without a hint of irony. Grown men are talking about Barbie attacking their manhood and it's not the set-up for a joke ****in' Barbie 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The message demotes how men and women should be seperate. He also mentions that there is a wierd scene about barbie going to see a gynaecologist and that there is elements of transphobia. Im just wondering forgetting who he is for a second but based on the film if this is the case? As seems a bit bizarre for a kids movie Having now seen Barbie I can confirm everyone’s suspicions. Ben Shapiro is a **** idiot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
