Another reason to sail the high seas

$25 to rent the movie, one watch within max 24 hours after you start watching it... Or $5 more to own it. Scammers.

You forgotvto mention the serious misandry of that movie. Another double standard. Women do it, it's all good fum. Men do it - canceled.
- oh boohoo. the director quite literally wanted to make a movie showing the idiocy of both misogyny AND misandry. are you sad because “oH nOooO my pRecIouS PAtriArcHY iS BeINg CaLled SEXIST!!??” or are you sad because maybe the movie had a strong female lead?
  either you havent watched this movie, in which case, why the fuck are you making assumptions about it? or, you are just so genuinely idiotic, arrogant and stubborn that you cant realise the simple fact that, while the barbie movie is definitely more feminist than it is pro-man, its not misandrist.
  
  Did you read the tagline on this very thread? That's enough for me to make my conclusions, but add the statements made by the creators, and various reviews by people who've seen it, and I can comfortably live with my conclusion.
  Oh, and your comment dripping with derision and insults to someone you don't know at all reveals your true nature. Go spend some quality time with yourself, if you can stand it.
  
  hey no youre right, im sorry, ive been sick these past few days and its been messing with my mood. i was quite mean and i want to apologise for that. its easy to forget that others on the internet are real people and that people are nuanced. again, sorry for my actions, and we can agree to disagree
  
  Wow. This is what makes Lemmy different from Reddit. On reddit, I'd be baited to rage-post repeatedly.
  Anyway, apology gladly accepted, and I'm glad you aren't the person I feared you to be. I'm willing to keep my mind open on the Barbie movie, though everything I know so far points to anti-male themes.
  
  What resolution do you keep your computer monitor?
  
  Um... Non_sequitur much?
- That's not the take away I got from the movie. I felt that it was critical of when both do it. If they wanted it to have a misandrist message the inclusion of Ken's emotional arc was very counter productive to that.
  
  Well, lookingvatvthe advertisements, interviews with the producers, and articles by people who saw it, I'm not convinced.
  And, for good measure, this one from Time praising it for exposing "male fragility".
