Isn't he the middle aged man who burnt the hair of a doll because he didn't like my movie for being too woke or something?

The dude spent 45 minutes ranting about the Barbie movie.

It's disturbingly obsessive. It's unhinged.

You kinda have to be a grown-up to get the movie (it's not that deep though), so of course an overgrown man-child like Ben Shapiro wouldn't get it.

I think it had numerous multifaceted points to make and made them from all sides.

It was female empowerment first and foremost, sure, but there were also strong messages about motherhood, manhood independent from women, finding purpose outside a hierarchy, and corporate bandwagoning for profit (which in itself is probably just a way for Mattel to seem like they're aware of their own faults).

It was a good movie and the only people who would be offended by anything in it are man-children who can't handle being told they're not so special.

(I am a white man FWIW, and thoroughly enjoyed the movie)

It's not Barbie and Ken

It's Barbie and it's Ken

I don't know, I met many a flint and terf who got offended about ken.

My opinion MATTERS!

I feel bad for the people who are adults but still don't get the movie

Which is a really sane and not at all prepubescent way of handling emotions.. 😒

Oh yeah, haven't thought about that guy in a while. Just keep treating him like the joke he is.

Thank you for the entertaining movie
