Janel Comeaugirl are you the Barbie Movie because wow a lot of men are angry that you weren’t specifically created to appeal to them
PixiePancake@VeryBadLlama That was my biggest pet peeve with online dating. Men acted like they were ordering me off a menu and that it was my duty to comply. As if.
obscurestar@MissPixiePancake @VeryBadLlama
Reminded of Ron DeSantis bragging about how he gaslit dates from the get go to see if they'd be obedient to him.
Though TBH, I don't know which I find more gross. Men like that or the women who stick with them even when they're bragging about it. I just wanna scream at them, "Thank you Aunt Lydia!"
bassplayer@VeryBadLlama From what I can tell the men dissatisfied with the movie are not into seeing men portrayed in an unfavorable light but I suspect given the lage cross section of males there may be more than one reaction. Here is one such review https://youtu.be/7J7aJtGphVs
Barbie - The Greatest Lie Ever Told
Betsy Bee@bassplayer @VeryBadLlama Lots of very angry projection in that review. Wow.
@BetsyBeeee Sure but it was offered up as another reason why men may be dissatisfied with the movie. Can you tell me what parts were projection and why. Just curious. I could see the part about the dolls maybe.
Rachel@bassplayer from what I can tell the men dissatisfied with the movie have never once been upset or even noticed women being portrayed in an unfavourable light even once in their lives and they should maybe navel gaze about that obliviousness a lil bit
@rachelmack I think I would not be happy about the movie and I am not happy with other men or woman shitting on women in scripts. If the writers claim the men did it to us first then they are no better also why does it have to be one or the other.
@bassplayer have you seen it? Because I have and that interpretation is inaccurate.
@rachelmack I've been rewatching BSG and have noticed Ronald Moore runs circles around todays writers. There are multiple layers to everything. Another show that has even more layers is Arcane where some women manipulate people using their beauty and others are brawlers. Anyway, todays character arcs are all about she was awesome all the time she just didn't realize it. Which is not really a character arc. Whatever the gender adversity and how people overcome it makes for better stories.
@bassplayer ok you haven’t seen it and have no idea what you’re talking about, bye
Sophia 🎶☃️🩵✨@VeryBadLlama This happened with the movie "Jennifer's body"

Why Jennifer's Body Flopped, Explained (hint: it's sexism)
David@VeryBadLlama same men who spend a lot of time calling people snowflakes and spend their time online ‘protecting’ women from trans women and transpeople in general.
It’s a perfect circle of the same dumbasses.

PointlessSpike@VeryBadLlama I liked it and I'm not even a girl
Soliyra (she/they)@VeryBadLlama I guess I am!
sparseMatrix 📻FWIW, if that movie was crafted to appeal to me, they really screwed the poochie
Marcus Reynolds
Bob Jamieson@VeryBadLlama Well done! You have just "got" the patriarchy and the reason for misogyny.
