They refuse to see the Barbie movie

Well, caring about that is a red flag by itself.

biddy ,

Refusing to see a movie their partner wants to see with them is a sensible red flag. I think it would be higher if it was phrased generally rather than specifically about Barbie.

PeepinGoodArgs ,

There’s a reason it’s specifically about Barbie…

biddy ,

I know, it’s a misleading political statement, like the rest of the survey.

If they’re being a dick about it, yes. But surely there’s things that people in a relationship do by themselves or with friends. Couldn’t seeing a movie that your partner doesn’t want to be one of them?

PrincessLeiasCat ,

Idk man, I’d refuse to go see that Q movie with mine & then stay home to question my life choices regarding relationships.

biddy ,

So being enthusiastic to see the Barbie movie is a red flag for you. That doesn’t make sense to me, but hey, I hope you find love in someone that shares your movie preferences.

Leviathan ,

I think you may have replied to the wrong person. They were talking about the crazy Q movie.

What is this Q movie? Are we talking Q Anon or Q from Trek? Q the segment from CBC with Tom Power?

PrincessLeiasCat , (edited )

No, that is not what I said at all. Some movies have people working on them who are, very loudly, spreading dangerous things that are doing very real harm to individuals and society as a whole …things like Q. I would rather not spend money supporting them.

I hope you’re able to see the difference between the two things. Cheers.

What is the Q movie?

Red flags come in all sizes. A potentially small one is: “I’m not willing to sit through a dumb but harmless movie even though my partner wants to see it.”

A bigger red flag would be “I refuse to see The Barbie Movie because it’s woke!!!”

archomrade ,

Yea, especially since the strong negative prejudice against that particular movie has mainly come from sexist reactionary political commentators

average_internet_enjoyer ,

Sorry if I’m out of the loop but how the fuck is a girls children movie in anyway woke?

Because it pushes surface level feminism

Well, there’s a certain subset of loud, gullible cretins out there that apply the following tests to see if something is “woke” and they should hate it:

  • Does it espouse or support anything that’s not hardcore, regressive social “conservatism”?
  • Do the libs (real or imaginary) like it?

If the answer to any of those 2 questions is “yes”: the thing in question is “woke”.

The barbie movie is awesome I’ve seen it 3 times with my gf . If someone doesn’t like that movie it would be a red flag for me lol .

You should go to the theater to see that movie (which I’ve never heard of and thus am not promoting) with your girlfriend 3 more times, that’ll show 'em!

bighatchester ,

Only if you are the real Margot Robbie

Of course I am. Now go see that movie a couple more times and tell people how good it is so I can finally get my Oscar this year.

cheery_coffee ,

Should I buy it on Blu-ray, iTunes, or both?

MargotRobbie ,
@MargotRobbie@lemm.ee avatar

All of them, of course!

bighatchester ,

I have pirated copy on my plex server 🙈 .but I heard that there is going to be a re-release with added scenes in theaters so I want to see that

StuffYouFear ,

Don’t pirate

Right? It’s a super fun and very funny movie. Knee jerk reactions to a movie about Barbie tells you all you need to know about where the person gets all their opinions fed to them from
