The film adaptation of Barbie has been divisive among viewers. Some are enamored with the brightly-colored, cheery adventure, while others are enraged by the underlying message. But who is worse: the guy complaining that it’s man-hating propaganda, or the man who just won’t shut the fuck up about how great it is?
The guy who hated it will make a 4 hour YouTube video dissecting the alleged indoctrination, saying “you single wine/cat moms into your 40’s need to grow up. How did you like this but not something like Joker?” Meanwhile, the guy who loves it will post on social media about how it was the most brilliant work of art ever to be birthed into this universe. And like, sure, it was good but chill.
The guy who hated it will say the message is unnecessary and that sexism has never existed. Also, that it’s actually it’s objectifying men. Then he’ll call you sexist. The guy who loves it will contend the message is groundbreaking as if every film and TV show of the last 10 years hasn’t had the exact same message. Then he’ll call you sexist.
Looks like they’re neck and neck so far.
It’s almost like the guy that loves it is just saying that as some sort of ploy to have the correct opinions on the internet while pandering to progressive feminists. And it’s almost like the guy that hates it is just saying that as some sort of ploy to have the correct opinions on the internet while pandering to conservative incels.
So who is worse? Results are inconclusive. They’re both the worst. Though they did find some common ground.
The guy who loves it will praise Ryan Gosling as an absolutely smoke show that can sing and is funny and is kind of the best part of the movie. The guy who hates it will begrudgingly praise Ryan Gosling as an absolutely smoke show that can sing and is funny and is kind of the best part of the movie.
