Another example of the Villains in Woke Movies being more relatable and sympathetic than the supposed protagonist.
The problem is the "hero" is more villainous then the villain.
Because wokists are real life vilains.

Yup. Evil confessing it's own evil.

I don't know the english word describing that action, but, take a most wulgar word describing "reporting someone because he did something wrong" and add "self" on the beginning. That how I can describe this Huff-post.
In Poland we have a scale of "reporting on someone if he did something wrong". So self-reporting to your supervisor is one of top 5 high scored action. "If you self-report by yourself to your supervisor- you earn 50 points." And "If you self-report by yourself to your supervisor, before you did something wrong - you earn 50 points and +2 charisma bonus". 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@julianjanczyk9041 _"Narc"_ (from "narcotics officer") and _"snitch"_ both refer to reporting on people. They can be used as a verb: _"to narc"_ and _"to snitch"_ mean _"to report on someone;"_
they can also be used as a noun: _"narc"_ and _"snitch"_ both mean _"bootlicking informant who reports people"_ or _"gossipmonger who spreads words given in confidence"._
When self-reporting is *unintended,* it is a Freudian slip. _Freudian slip_ is when instead of saying the words you want to say, one of two things occurs:
1.) You speak the exact words that you secretly think out load. (This partly overlaps with the idiom "speaking the quiet part out loud".)
2.) You speak a word or phrase that is telling about your mental state, particularly when it's the state of your subconscious.
The barbie movie, a doctoral thesis of "Schrodinger's Feminism" a woman is both empowered and victim at the same time in any situation until she chooses the outcome that benefits her the most.

The Barbie movie is almost like if 1984 was made by a communist to promote communism
Animal Farm
Whole democrats and woke terroristsare trying to turn u into left wing USSR and i can tell that coz i'm from ex communist country
1984 actually was sort of written by a communist. Orwell was definitely more socialist than he was libretarian. However he wasn't so extreme he couldn't see part of the evils socialism was capable of.
@@LeeroyPorkins Animal Farm was an alegorical criticism, not promotion. Sure it starts all nice and idealistic, because that's how people imagine it will be after revolution, but those ideals are slowly driven to the ground. In the end, they can't even tell whose human and who's a pig.
The best two gifts that this movie has unintentionally given us is a sympathetic hero within Ken in the form of a Greek Tragedy while also giving men the second chance to find a better partner after getting dumped by their former girlfriends because they didn’t like this movie.
In the end, we are Kenough and that’s all that matters.
getting dumped can hurt more for others than yourself. some of us will end up waiting until our 40’s for that bell curve to come into play.
If shes willing to dump your for the barbie movie, she aint the one chief...
Ordered my bright pink 2xl I am kenough sweater just yesterday!!! We are all kenough lads only time I'll imitate Oprah U get a hug, they get a hug, all the Ken's get a hug!
The Kenaissance continues. 😁
Funny, my grandfather is called Kenneth and he’s a fookin legend. He worked all his life to provide, my nan appreciates him for being the breadwinner. Barbie needs some 1950s values.
Ken was my abuser... Translation... He wanted equal rights and not required to do everything you want as he is left to sleep outside.
As remember kids... It wasn't until Ken tried taking command did any Ken actually get a house to live in.
“Ken is Not the Main Character of the Barbie movie! Stop talking about him!”
You just keep telling yourself that.
I think a fun reply on this is "The structure of the film itself seems to disagree with you."
The intention of who is to be the 'main character' of a piece is often irrelevent. People are drawn to who they are drawn to in fiction, and if anyone doesn't like that its too bad.
Barbie, women most affected.
Feminism, women most affected.
Propaganda, women most affected.

Ken's story will go down in history as a greek tragedy.
HerKenles
💯agree. It really is a Greek tragedy, if we sent this script towards the past and just adjust it to the time and age, it would become a blast at the amphiteatrum 😅
That bit of the article where even the husband sympathise with barbie and couldn't understand why Ken would ever want some level of autonomy made me think "Yep, this guy rightfully deserves an eternity of watching the shadows on the wall."
It reminds me of a quote I heard that goes something along the lines of "A slave , when he sees a free man, turns to his master and does not ask 'Why am I not free?' but instead asks "Why is that man not in chains?'"
Reminds me of the bioshock quote.
In the end what separates a man from a slave? Money? Power? No, a man chooses, and a slave obeys!

When they said feminism and wokeness were cults, they're weren't lying
Almost true. Look at all Wokeness (Right and Left) as a form of Feminism.
@@LeeroyPorkins Wokeness is Left only, anything in the Right that could be questionable is just general RTardation.
It's part of hybrid warfare. Women and certain other groups are incredibly easy to manipulate by the left. And just as easily turned in to soldiers in a war they don't even understand they're waging.
At no point prior to this movie did I know that Feminists could be this determined to lose.
Just like how white supremacists have secret black girlfriends, I suspect feminists are super into maledom.
Their self-delusion knows no bounds.
@@mutegrab666 I couldn't stop laughing when I read the article.
It was built on a shaky foundation to begin with
if they don't lose how can they cry about being victimized more?
Honestly if she's currently in a lawsuit she shouldn't bring it up in an article as that could be used by the defendants as a sign that the lawsuit is purely for profit

@@EarthForces Perhaps. But does she seem like the type who would listen to her attorney? Or the type who'd pull an Akilah (obviously)?

She obvi the type of idjit to sign an NDA, break it, then go "omgoshes guys what do you mean I'm in the wrong it's that evil patriarchy that's the problem" an she still won't learn. Just like none of em like taking any accountability for anything negative whatsoever. I worked alongside a girl who was really close to fuggin up a great VA contract because she wanted to tell her bf..... women are migraines and nothing more these days.
It's not often a movie is so tone deaf that it works against what you're advocating for.
Ken rises to the ranks of righteous villain!
All of the woke movies have done it, but never so thoroughly.
Cough cough *Cuties* cough cough

When a catechism of the religion is "The personal is political", this 'article' does not surprise in me in the least.
@@Sciuridae This makes me smile.
Thank you :)
We obviously need a paradigm shift.
Ken persuaded the Barbies to burn down the Longhouse by mearly putting Barbieland in its natural order.
To quote president Barbie, "This is more fun than being president!"
My second time encountering this story, and I've come to a conclusion. The song and dance cooing over her husband, but worried he wouldn't accept her PTSD etc., the whole story of her trauma tells me she cheated on him with the boss. The boss got in her pants and the whole dog-and-pony show afterwards was a long protest that she was mislead and tricked into it.
"as a woman it's easier to advocate for someone else other than myself... Anyway so this is how oppressing men may actually be in womens best interest"
She cheated on her husband with her boss then got her boss fired and still have the support and love of her husband. She thinks she is the victim of that
How can she be anything but the victim?
Women do not have self-responsibility and thus cannot be blamed for their actions.
Unfortunately however this means we need to start treating them like pets rather than people, as they're missing crucial autonomous responsibility which defines the very nature of individuality.
If only women would act responsibly, all this could have been avoided.
Unfortunately they've shown their quality, and it doesn't belong in the adult world.
"Women and children" indeed.

What the article thinks it says: Ken an abuser!
What the article actually says: I am an abuser!
P R O J E C T I O N
How does the author's divorce come to be?
Husband falls short in his simping and she throws him out,
or
Husband's coworkers and friends finally get through to him that he's being abused?
Ist gonna be "she's bored, she thinks she can do better, her new boss is 5inch taller than the old.
She'll get sick of him, and if he's lucky she'll divorce him. If he's unlucky she'll keep and cuckold him.
@@adrenjones9301 Exactly, they realize that having a cuckold husband isn't what they truly ever wanted before seeking out what they consider a "real man".
Imagine a world where the inverse of the worse feminist delusions are real
Feminist: "women are the victims in that world also"
this is the new guy situation
where the "New guy" was supposed to be the bad guy but everyone symapthised with him instead
They also constantly make the claim that Barbieland is a reverse-situation towards our world and therefore the feminist utopia is in reality a criticism of the "patriarchy".
That is partially true. There was definitly the attempt to make a statement that goes like "haha, that is how men are in real world, feel stupid yet?", but this mesaging was completly destroyed by the rest of the movie. Favouriting women over men, making the Kens the "bad guys" when they rebel and showing how easy it is for the barbies to outsmart the kens. They even use common feminist stereotypes of men to trick the kens, it's not hard to figure out what the writers actual thoughts about gender equality are.
"ken is the villain" say my husband after a period of no prodding allowed
"he urged me to go to a therapist" - Oh my God! I've married a mad bint. How can I change this?
Try a Socratic approach. Ask "What makes Ken the villain?" And keep unravelling the thread from there.
@@Sorain1it'll become circular logic, they don't think rationally
Obligatory "He's literally me"

Ken was created for the sole purpose of being Barbie’s boyfriend and Barbie didn’t want him for that. Ken feeling his entire lack of purpose in life is parallel to Barbie’s feeling of ennui.
One thing the movie did not address is while Barbie can be anything- an airplane pilot, a doctor, President, all of those Barbies were made that way. They didn’t go to school and achieve those goals. They didn’t save their money to move into the Dream House or buy that pink corvette. It was just there because she’s Barbie.
So when Ken goes to the real world and experiences patriarchy is it any wonder that he thinks he should just be able to walk-in and Be a doctor or a CEO?
First there was the Ricktatorship, now there is the Kenvolution...
The Kendom will be a Kenstitutional Monarchy.

Thank you Arch. Been saying for years that a lack of ability to empathise with someone who doesn't look like you makes you the psycho. "Representation" is literal psychos demanding to be catered to no matter their skin colour, gender, race, religion etc.

YES, WE KEN!
Message to this woman's husband if you are being held against your will blink twice.
Pretty sure he needs permission to blink as well.
These people aren't "brainwashed"; they're willingly choosing not to do their own thinking.
Why?
@@user-cs4su3ng9l That depends entirely on the person. All kinds of people get different things out of not doing their own thinking on these issues. Sometimes it's laziness, sometimes it's stupidity, and sometimes it's something else. Sometimes, it's because they're malevolent and are simply looking for an excuse for their behaviors and certain ideologies give them that excuse.
They're completely dismissive, in their minds, men are inferior. So, why care or think of something if that came from a mans mouth?
So many women will die alone when this cycle’s elderly generation kicks in. They’ll also be the most unpleasant old people to ever deal with. While I feel bad for the retirement home individuals that will inevitably have to deal with these losers I also pity anyone around them. These self indulgent sociopaths have no one to blame but themselves.
Maybe we can rug-pull social security from them so they die faster.
And all of us old guys will be living together and just having, LAN games, hunting/camping trips, ECT... And just plane having fun until we exit life.
Ryan Gosling played both Ken and "K" from bladerunner. Can't be a coïncidence. The Kenverse is real.

We only see the tip of the Kenberg
@@Thesavagesouls You shall be the Fellowship of the Ken
@@LeeroyPorkins One does not simply walk into Barbieland
A lot of her review doesn't seem to have much to do with the Barbie movie. I imagine she pitched an article about her former boss and the editor came back with "make it somehow about the Barbie movie and we'll get more clicks."
I feel a lot of these articles miss the fact that Ken by the end comes right and says he literally exists to be beside Barbie. Barbie can stand on her own but, Ken doesn't exist without her. these are not just people. they are basically walking talking concepts. Ken exists as the concept of the optional boyfriend. he even says he's her boyfriend to her and she never corrects him until the end so you can understand this is a man who literally has no self worth without Barbie finally trying to make himself worthy of her attention.
frankly the most postive message at the end is that Ken doesn't have to be dependant on Barbie but, can learn to be his own person. frankly that's far better than her actually trying to get with him.
What you talk about at the beginning, of the article writer, 'Automatically seeing herself as the victim.' Is the logical consequence of Feminist Doctrine that has been in play for DECADES.
To Wit- In 1996-97, at the age of 26, I was engaged to an Ardent Feminist. Now sadly, this woman had been abused as a child, but as time went on, I was forced to admit that she HERSELF was abusive. Because I loved her, I tried to show her the truth. She furiously rejected it & left me calling me, 'The most abusive man I've ever known.'
In the aftermath, I started doing a great amount of research on Feminism, including reading the book she called her 'Bible'. (That's 'Secret Survivors', by E. Sue Blume.) In that book, the author states flat-out that Men are abusive by NATURE. While Women can never be abusive under ANY circumstances.
This core aspect of Feminist Ideology was common then, over 25 years ago. So it is no surprise it is even more ingrained in most Women's psyche today.
Then Kendom rises
YESSIR!
Ken Ken Kazi Daze!
Woman: gets what she wants, decides to double down and be pretty and vindictive for the emotional gratification.
"President Barbie the Kens have no drinking water, food, shelter or even a way to earn these things."
President Barbie: "I dont owe them anything. I dont need there vote, elections dont exist in Barbie land what is happening to me is the worst thing that has ever happened to anyone."
She couldn’t tell her husband everything? Had to go to a therapist? What sort of relationship is this? Perhaps it had for him to hear her inside his gimp suit.
Her: "My Boss harassed me at work"
not mentioned was that she had probably been flirting and stringing him along for months.
I love the "It's easier for me to work for someone else than for myself" line right there. That's basically the hallmark of the entire movement, and the reason that whenever anything is revealed, they close ranks to burn that person's entire life to the ground.
Because they are all hateful and bitter, but it's easier to aim that against the enemy of another than to do anything about what's making your life bad enough to make you hateful and bitter.
Didn't Hoffer say something about this?
“Dont owe him anything” then dont get in a relationship , you cant be all memememe in a relationship
Barbie is unironically the best thing that happen in the modern generation where it unintentionally exposes every boy kid's nightmares while little girls are cheering for it. They will grown up to be fine men after watching this horror.
Using woke's own language, Kens literally have it worse than house elves.
At least house elves slaves have a house.
Wish I could call this crazy but I knew a similar wife/husband combo. Perpetual victimhood complex regardless of how preferentially she was treated.
Just women things

This movie is the gift that keeps on giving. Who would have thought that a toy from the 70e '80s was parked so much shit in the 2020s
1959, but yes, still incredible.
Wimen have spent the past 100 years giving the entire world billions of examples of why "equality" was the worst mistake in humanity
Equality is fine, equity is the problem. Even they can not bring themselves to use the word as they know we had equality, and it wasn't good enough for them.
Now are we all equal? Men are better at everything, even single father raise better kids then single mothers. Women have lost their dam minds.
The Ferangi had the right idea about female rights.
@@Kobold1650 Equality is the problem because it is impossible. The only true equality is before God and in death.
@@Kobold1650 "Equality" is not only a lie, but leads to equity due to womens natural greed.
Weak men create hard times by allowing women freedom, then power, then social submission of men.
One line from the Barbie movie I like is "We build everything why should we give it to you?" said by Barbie.
I like it because it was written likely without realizing how it applies to the real world were men build everything but women are delusional enough to think they should be given it.
Sure sure, „worker barbie(s)“ made all the houses and everything in barbieland 😂😂😂 no Ken ever helped them in any way.
Barbie need no man for bricklaying 😂😂
The patriarchy sounds like a Kenspiracy theory, to me.
The Barbie Movie is the best case ever if someone wants to argue that men and women should be permenently separated and never allowed to share a physical or mental space. It asks the question "What if the sexes were broken because one hated the other so inherently that it sought to erase its existence?" It breaks up a decades old iconic couple that is supposed to represent a female oriented look at the natural progression of men and women (being together). And it tries to make the argument--albeit poorly--that the dreamscape of a seven year old girl (in its kindest interpretation, that's what Barbieland is, and the Real World represents growing up and realizing that there are other people beyond yourself) is a better alternative to objective reality.
Looking at playthings of the 80s in this light, there is a clear distinction that male oriented toy brands ALWAYS did a better job at incorporating and encouraging both male and female play than female oriented brands did.
Male characters in female properties included Ken (whom we see here), Rio (Jem and the Holograms--he was Jerrica (Jem)'s boyfriend, or Bow from She Ra. On the other hand, boys had Teela (who was part of the guard at Castle Grayskull), Cheetora and Wiley Kit (? I always get Kit and Kat confused) who both had adventures and helped fight, and April O'Neil of Ninja Turtles (who wasn't a ninja, but also not pathetic or dainty or taken non-seriously by the show). This shows the same underlying message we get from The Barbie Movie. Men wanting women around while women are telling men to fuck off. Who and where are these proposed creatures? Because most (not all--I had a couple friends in high school who were kneee deep into the 'I don't need no fucking man' sect, and this was back in the 90s ffs) women, with their brains functioning property and not under the burden of some kinda psychological trauma, do not feel this way. I distinctly remember buying new and interesting Kens whenever I could find them to go with my other dolls specifically because in my own 'dreamscape' I sat there thinking most of the dolls must be lonely since they don't have a Ken to go with them--and that was when I was young enough to be playing with the darn things.
It's really funny to me that Ken is the only one people are talking about with any traction. If the studio is smart, and they probably aren't, they should make sure Ken is the focus of the sequel.
I think what they were trying to do was make it into a role-reversal. Ken is an exaggerated caricature of what radical feminists believe men perceive women to be: objects/accessories. They were probably hoping that men would watch it and think "oh jeez, that's how women are treated? Now I'm in that situation, I feel bad about it!"
Except that's not really how it came across at all because men and women are and have been a lot closer in status than they realize for quite a few years now.
And even when they were not equal in status they were never as poorly treated as the feminist narrative would have us believe
I support Ken's Rights
This Barbie movie sounds a lot more interesting than I thought it was going to be.
I thought it was just then goin into reality.... this is nothing like what I thought lol
while its loooonnnngggg. Little Platoon did a good video essay of the strange... dichotomy is maybe the word? That Barbie has with its "themes", the VERY feminist "the patriarchy is everywhere and bad, men being second class citizens is good" and a surprisingly broad and deep idea of self discovery, not just following what someone else says you to believe and figuring it out on your own. But "find what your path is, your ultimately the one accountable to find your purpose" doesn't exactly mix with "this is the doctrine of feminism, everything is sexist, everything is patriarchy because we say so". And it essentially means the movie seems to have a bipolar disorder, where it will swing from one to another on a scene by scene basis. Its as if the director was secretly two directors with completely different ideas on the theme. Its also why some scenes are straight up baffling if they're meant to be serious or satire.
@@blazichaos7181thanks for the suggestion
The Age of Kenlightenment is upon us! So much Kentropy in this world, Kenrolleth thyself in the Kenlisted.
Besides everything said, the two main points I got were:
1. She wants the return of the medieval Eunuchs who were enslaved.
2. People are finally sympathetic to some degree of people (men and women) in the friendzone. Though Kens are an extreme version of that.
The idea that you either reciprocate or don't accept them doing it seems like a more acheivable standard.
Note: I am not putting full blame on the person who friendzones, I am simply stating if you let someone cross past the friend boundaries because it benefits you, you share partial blame for misunderstandings they may have.
Such as Ken doing everything he can for Barbie, out of his volitions or force, and her just accepting it knowing he is only doing it out of force or his interest in her which she will never reciprocate.
As an extra point, I've notice people try to parrot the point that "just being nice to someone doesn't mean romantic interest," which is true.
However, in the past, it did.
Just like today, having sx or making out doesn't mean romantic interest in younger groups, especially, which is absurd because then there are no boundaries for friends.
The fun part is that these dumb writers have tried to make their own Thanos that they turn the villains into the protagonist. And their hero into the protagonist.
Countless words are thrown around in the movie, but they are grasped with the comprehension of children barely playing with dolls.
She is an abusive narcissist and she blames mistreating her husband on someone else? Wow.
Didn't knew Arch was such a good diver, man didn't breath for 20 straight minutes on video!
Kendependence Day is nigh, Gosling is dolled up for a reason
While only tangentially related, I think this is why I genuinely like Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3. then most of the recent Marvel stuff. It remembers why we love heroes when they do heroic things. The Guardians take the risks to save the every day citizen, or animal, even if it means letting the villain go. Doing the right thing takes precedence, which is something the Cpt. Marvels or the Eternals or all the recent batch of self-absorbed girl boss style characters don't do.
Be heroic.
Wouldn't the villain just harm more people and animals if he allowed to escape tho?
@@user-cs4su3ng9l That's kind of the point for a lot of heroics, you have to do what is right even if it's not easy. Yeah, letting the villain go right now means he'll be a threat later on, but chasing him at the expense of the well being of other people doesn't make you much better.
I still remember Mass Effect 2's loyalty mission for Zaeed, where the man is so determined to get revenge he risks the lives of the refinery workers to get it, you as Commander Shephard have the choice to either save the trapped workers but Zaeed loses out on his revenge, or leave them to burn to death in favor of killing the target. If we're looking at a purely utilitarian mindset, those burning people would be an acceptable loss to take out the ruthless mercenary warlord, but from a humanitarian standpoint it's absolutely untenable. If you save the workers, Zaeed is understandably pissed, but will begrudgingly accept that he'll get another chance later. Help him, and not only do those people die, but so does practically everyone not on Shephard's crew.
So that's sort of why that mindset isn't really considered heroic, if you get where I'm coming from.
@@user-cs4su3ng9l Yes, but the probable harm they will cause isn't as strong a moral weight as the _certain_ harm that comes from pursuing them. At some point, the probable harm outweighs the certain, but finding that line is a matter of personal morality. The only absolutely sure moral stance is that any amount of certain harm outweighs any amount of probable harm.
@@user-cs4su3ng9l Obsession is a vilain trait. The villain in GoTG vol. 3 in particular IS the example of consumed by obsession. A hero chasing one single villain endlessly will inevitably destroy himself alongside everyone on his side.
This is kind of an interesting litmus test to see whether someone can divorce the 'real' from the fantasy.
I don't mind feminism, i don't mind politics, i don't even dislike strong convictions. What i do dislike is weaponizised hypocrisy and the inability to remain consistant and logical for an entire sentence.
The thing about these feminist ideals is that what they delusionally see as "role inversion" is in fact "role monopolization".
Masculinity, since basically as long as we can see it in the shape it exists now, has a central element: Provider. It is the key word around which all masculinity is pinned. You are the provider, the foundation upon which a family is build. You keep the mouths fed, and you build the future. You pursue success so that you may present its spoils to your dependants.
Femininity, for this same time, has had the role of lead-dependant; the one whose primary role it is to utilize the provided resources as efficiently as possible. You are the walls in which a family is housed. Women have basically been the primary user of household funds for centuries now; they decide when clothes need replacement, what indulgences are permitted and what foods ends up on the table.
Both of these roles are fundementally altruistic to the other; they aim to optimize the experience of the other party, at least in theory; both have ethical obligations that are directly reflective of the expectation of the other side. A woman who doesn't care or a man who doesn't provide are both equally failing being under this system. The more cynical elements are pretty much present amongst both sides; both sides get to present the other side as a trophy, or accessory. Though yes, this system does by its very nature dramatically limits the opportunities and expectations for dependants to build careers of their own.
What Barbie presents isn't a world where this typical dynamic is inverted. Its where barbie gets the benefit of both sides while Ken get stuck only with the cynical associations of the system. Barbie provides for none, she cares for none. She is a narcissist, the center of her own existence and spending wealth to anything other than her own gratification is an affront to her. She has no ethical obligations and there is nothing to gain for her even caring for Ken other than the gratification he will be conned into providing her. She is a creature bereft of any virtue; worse, she is a thief of virtue, who deprives others the chance to attain fullfillment.
The Ken's subsequently aren't provided for. The spoils of the provider are not theirs; no, they are there as serfs. They own nothing, they deserve nothing, and they are worth no more than the gratification they give the barbies. They aren't even slaves, for even slaves can be expected to at least be given a roof over their head. Dogs are treated with more dignity and love as well. They are naught but living representations of what you are in the eyes of an incurable narcissist.
i am curious about how this fight will play out over the Barbie movie. will the narrative pushback and reframe convince them that the Barbie movie failed utterly and they need to deride it as anti feminist?
oh the suspense is terrible... i do hope it will last!
I don't think they will declare it a failure it made over a billion dollars and at the end of the day money talks
Patriarchy is toxic but matriarchy isnt? According to this movie, the Matriarchy is wholly in place to control men. Whereas the Patriarchy, when put in place, is NOT oppressive, nor do the Kens treat the Barbies any differently, but they get more respect now. Its definitely failed wokeness, they tried to vilify Ken, and by proxy the Patriarchy, but failed miserably. Instead the Matriarchy is the one that looks incredibly terrible. They inadvertently vilified Barbie and made her the villain.
I went to see it with my sister, she has Down Syndrome and is a Barbie fan, so I went, for her.
The first thing my sister said to me when the movie was done, was: "I liked it the most when all the Kens stood up for eachother and helped eachother, the Barbies were really mean to them..."
Even SHE saw what was really happening here, and who were the real villains.
By the way, Greta, if you were SO hell-bent on being inclusive, where was Down Syndrome Barbie??
Or Asian Barbie for that matter...
'Huffington post' oh they are surely huffing. Glue most likely
The director wanted the Kens to be like she view Woman in the 1950s.
Don't forget they also listed disputed territory as Chinese property on the map.
That should tell all you need to know.
"Colette Foy (a pseudonym to protect the privacy of the author) is an educator, writer, and traveler. She's lived in the same state her whole life but frequently leaves it to adventure with her husband or visit her sister, often on a train."
This is the only article she's ever written and it's published on multiple websites. I'm pretty sure that the author who made up this character does not have a husband.
When the collapse comes she’ll be begging for a big strong man to protect her
A comment for the algorithm.
❤
Hmm so they get to wokify almost every title & we get Barbie in return, this is not equalient exchange
When a man leaves after you've told him to, absolutely a villian of a guy
The Kenvolution has big Kenergy and is Kenstoppable Boys!!
The best thing that could have happened is that ALL the Kens just leave for the real world and leave the Barbies alone in their own little world.
Ken is the new Gigachad of the year! 🤣
This is so much better a take when you go through the lens that the writer said the kens were a reflection of women.. Its so much more delectable
if he is compareable to an abuser then i highly doubt the latter was deserving of the lable, most at most he was killing you with kindness. the guy finds out that kens actually can be individuals, tries and succeds to bring it to barbieland through only the correct and legal ways, it is not only accepted by everyone the change it makes in the real world is a massive success. then when the barbies take that away through deception and manipulation, he does not take up arms or resort to force, he under assault by despair and doubt simply states that he was wrong and they were right and accepts his fate, wresteling with self doubt as he does not know who he is anymore. if such a kind and noble soul is comparable to an abuser for this person then that person neither knows the meaning of the word, and perhaps does not deserve to speak of oneself as a victim.
As if the movie didn't demonize Ken/males enough, this article accuses the male character of "abuse".
I could happily hear about this every video.
If they have moved to attacking we have gained ground!
If a doll eats another doll, is that Kennibalism?
Define "Eats".
Ken is not an abuser. He led a bloodless revolution by killing his oppressors with kindness. The Barbies took everything back because they emotionally manipulated the Kens. The movie even acknowledged it - not well enough, frankly - since the movie used the narrator to tape-over the sad ending by saying they will have equal rights eventually. Because he has a full arch, Ken goes on the Hero's Journey.
That feminist husband sounds like the annoying first character to get gruesomely murdered on day one of an apocalypse movie.
Women like to identify themselves as the victim.
We are Kenough, we are good at stuff.
Barbieland is not utopia because it is a candy-coated dystopia. It is scarier because some people only see its candy coating.
Ken the hero he will be remembered by generations as the hero we needed but did not deserve 🥲
