Elon Musk joins backlash against Barbie film's portrayal of anti-man feminism saying.

AbysmalDescent · 2023-07-25T12:41:16+00:00

Any man who is outspoken about how anti men it is, portraying men as being vapid idiots who cannot even learn to apologise is automatically mocked and belittled by fake woke feminists and bombarded with accusations of "missing the point" or being misogynists and that it somehow proves how misogynistic they are. Women aren't letting men talk, exist or breathe without crucifying them. Women often say that only they can define misogyny and are outraged if a man tries to say a certain thing isn't misogynistic, therefor, only a man should be able to define what is truly misandrist or man excluding propaganda. The fake, woke feminists belittling men for their feelings all over social media come across as self entitled bullies and abusive women who are once again, confirming that men aren't allowed to feel and that their feelings are never valid.

Any woman (like me) who is speaking out against it and seeing it for what it truly is (men hating trash), are also being crucified, bullied by fellow women, mass downvoted and labeled as "internally misogynystic". These are some crazy times we are in, guys.

Will this... hurt the cause or help?

After what Gerwig did to Little Women, I'm not surprised about the Barbie movie at all.

micelli_illuminatti · 2023-07-25T11:49:48+00:00

Elon Musk was such an adored celebrity by the progressives ... until he opened his mouth and they decided he was awful. Now, anything he does or says is automatically awful. It's so cringey to see people almost in unison, bad mouth everything he does and says. It's exhausting.

And regarding the Barbie movie, I'm hoping someone will have the guts to make a movie about a boys' toy that is just as toxic towards women as Barbie is towards men. I guarantee you there would be protests (violent ones too) and attempts to sabotage the movie screening.

You know, the way they did that to the Sound of Freedom movie, already.

It’s a movie about a doll. Went to see it with my gf cause her names Barbie too and stopped paying attention after Ken took over Barbie land and made it sick. Movie should’ve just cut there. After that it was just some milf complaining which I just tuned out

rabel111 · 2023-07-25T22:46:14+00:00

Its really sad to see so many women needing to demean men and enlist in conspiracy theories about some vast secret male club, in order to feel OK about themselves.

How empty and baron these women must be to rely so often and so intensely on degrading others to elevate themselves.

Reintroversion · 2023-07-25T17:25:33+00:00

Remember this day in 2023 - The Left has become so toxic it hijacked a children's toy to promote worldwide hate against men.

Ive never been more ashamed to be human.

When will people learn that if you make a simple joke on social media, they’ll use it to brand your whole identity. This guy owns twitter and he still hasn’t figured that out.

refunned · 2023-07-25T15:50:35+00:00

When I agree with Elon <<<

migwelljxnes · 2023-07-25T19:00:50+00:00

The ironic thing is girls in the audience relating to Barbie yet behaving like Ken does in the film

NeoNotNeo · 2023-07-26T03:19:17+00:00

At this point, I’ll join the patriarchy

f0xpant5 · 2023-07-25T23:41:55+00:00

All the discourse I see from the feminist crowd are a mixture of insults like misogynist, incel, stupid, or claiming that we are missing the point and it's a perspective piece of some sort. Now let's start by discounting insults which are already a lost argument and beside the point, Given film and TV are an art form, I find it highly disingenuous to deny anyone's perspective as missing the point. Everyone takes something different away from art when they consume it, and clearly there's merit to this takeaway since so many people are agreed on it. All I want is constructive debate and to accept that one interpretation, claimed to be based on the intent of the movie, is not the only valid interpretation.

themolestedsliver · 2023-07-25T15:53:10+00:00

Damn that's sucks. Like Twitter Elon Musk is a cancer to anything he touches, so this will probably solidify the "conservatives hate the Barbie movie" narrative.

For me personally I haven't seen the movie and was excited about it however this "you're not allowing to criticize the movie without being call a misogynist" isn't something that interests me in the slightest.

RoryTate · 2023-07-25T22:26:17+00:00

The media really hates this development because – like him or not – Elon has status due to the fact he is a tech billionaire. Marginalizing these criticisms of anti-male entertainment (this is essentially what the "incel" slur serves to do – assign low status to a certain idea by way of throwing around a pejorative label) becomes much harder to do when someone rich and influential makes the pronouncement.

Tubaperson · 2023-07-25T22:42:26+00:00

This is what I don't understand. Why do we have to make stuff about politics and society all the time instead of just enjoying stuff. I don't really care what people think, it is a movie, nothing more and nothing less. It is meant to be enjoyed.

It is also art in general, like can we make something that cannot be used in a political way now and if we are looking at something to do with something we disagree with can we just look and appreciate the art?

This is all stupid, barbie is fictional and that is it, there shouldn't be anything to it if we keep it at face value.

I haven't watched the movie and I am frankly not intending to, but it just looks like a fictional movie that shouldn't be taken seriously.

TLDR: art shouldn't be political, if it is who cares and we are all throwing arms around for nothing because IT IS A FICTIONAL MOVIE NOTHING MORE AND NOTHING LESS

OverallLawfulness426 · 2023-07-25T22:54:55+00:00

Comparing this dumpster fire of a film to Oppenheimer is an insult to Oppenheimer. Hopefully the men in this film got paid good to spread this anti men garbage.

Mountainking7 · 2023-07-26T06:29:52+00:00

Men should man up and not go watch these garbage.

misocockiny · 2023-07-25T17:39:42+00:00

So if Elon said it then it’s bad? Fuck the barbie movie. It’s a pile of TRASH.

denyjunctionfunction · 2023-07-25T14:40:25+00:00

That’s hardly backlash against the movie. People have joked about that kind of shit (often repeated words/actions) in different movies for ages.

Edmond-the-Great · 2023-07-25T19:03:37+00:00

Makes me wonder if someone hated Barbie so much they decided to make a highly boycott-able movie to kill the franchise? If you think about what's happening to Busch and various other things that go woke, then this is exactly how you kill the Barbie franchise.

Hound_of_Hell · 2023-07-26T08:32:53+00:00

Some movie critics Ive seen on YouTube all made a similar comment of how the actors must’ve had the reins on them pulled super tight to never mention anything about the themes of feminism in the movie

Karglenoofus · 2023-07-26T08:34:49+00:00

I hate that I have to agree with human mosquitoes like Ben Shapiro and Musk but here I am.

'If you take a shot every time Barbie says the word "patriarchy" you will pass out before the movie ends'

i'm an alcoholic. i will gladly accept this drinking challenge.

EdziePro · 2023-07-25T17:20:40+00:00

Watching it with my gf and my best friend in a few days. I wonder what all of our reactions will be.

xDanSolo · 2023-07-25T16:20:08+00:00

~~You~~ these types of "guys" are so fragile. I saw this movie with my fiance, watched her get emotional a few times at the relatable messaging, as well as laugh hard at the clever jokes. Saw groups of women in pink, mothers and daughters, friends, etc, all hyped like it was a new Avengers movie or something. And it was awesome to see. Not once did I feel the movie was anti-men in the slightest. I just felt happy for the women who were able to have a movie like this, that feels mostly just for them. Us men have a million things that are mostly just for us. And a million movies exist that reduce women to near-nothing. Why can't women once in a while get a single freakin movie that isn't catering to mens feelings the entire time?

If this movie bothered you, then you're not the man you think you are.

God I love this guy

Purednuht · 2023-07-25T18:28:22+00:00

Everyone in here, go outside and touch grass, talk to a stranger and realize it’s not that the world is after you. Jesus guys,

walterwallcarpet · 2023-07-25T13:33:57+00:00

He's just pissed because she drives a Corvette and not a Tesla. Oops, Barbie, dropped a few woke points there, sweetheart.

chaveznieves · 2023-07-26T01:55:40+00:00

I just saw this movie with my gf, and maybe I'll get crucified for this opinion but...Am I the only one who thought it wasn't that bad? Maybe it's just me, but I felt like they did a decent job of illustrating the problem with both sides. Prioritizing either gender in society is wrong, and I feel like they showed the issues on both sides of the coin. Of course, it was geared towards women; it's a Barbie movie. But I was satisfied with they way they showed that men don't deserve to be ignored, either. There was plenty of narrative about the Ken's being treated badly and taken for granted and I dont feel like it was supporting that behaviour. Main ken had his moment to tell Barbie how it hurt him to be mistreated, and the Barbies had to see a world where their feminarchy was challenged. Both sides went too far, so the lesson, as I saw it, was that both sides matter and deserve a voice. And that a world that favours one will lead to oppression of the other. I really don't feel like it was anti-man at all. Maybe I'm just looking at it with rose-coloured glasses, but honestly, it felt like it was trying to encourage equality, not feminism.

Men are doomed, and that’s not a bad thing

Catch-the-Rabbit · 2023-07-25T20:41:44+00:00

Where are the posts on Homer Simpson?

Where are the posts on Peter Griffin?

Where are the posts on Al Bundy?

Where are the posts about the male depiction on FRIENDS?

Spare_Guesso · 2023-07-27T19:30:58+00:00

I thought Musk would be a big fan of it.

brisa___ · 2023-07-29T05:33:07+00:00

The movie isn’t “anti men” in fact it’s pro healthy masculinity
