They won't be happy until we are all gay.
Christians want everyone to be Christian, they want Christian schools, they want a Christian nation, so they project that gay people want all the same things. That gay people want everyone to be gay, have gay schools, a gay country, etc. It's all projection.
I want everyone to be gay.
What, bi isn't good enough?
i think your kinda lumping alot of people in to a group. people are people, it doesnt matter what religion, race or ethnicity. People will abuse power be hateful and do stupid things. saying one group of people want one thing and one thing only is bias and projection and stereotyping upon your part
May as well give up on these people, they aren’t capable of nuance.
The funniest part to me though is they’re saying all these wild things about how Christians feel about gay people yet I rarely experience it myself. But daaaaamn the moment I mention I’m also a Christian they full-on seethe.
It’s bigotry and they’ve fully embraced it.
No, this is all you projecting your persecution fetish onto people you most likely never interact with. Pretty bigoted take honestly.
The very opposite is in fact true. I’m gay and go to a Christian church, they speak of love and acceptance for all. If there are actually any who fit your explanation they’re an incredibly small minority that actual Christians disagree with.
You must be going to one of those Heresy churches like Unitarian or something.
Cuz lemme tell you I'm from "da souf" and love and acceptable are curse words in the typical southern church. All fire all brimstone and the gays gonna get ya as well as the blue hair demon rats.
You had your more lib churches there and goddamn you might as well went to the Satanic Temple cuz theyd probably treat you better (misguided vs absolute heretic).
Tbh everything good about religion can be replaced with the simple golden rule and idk spirits n shit.
Bro, I don't know how you missed this, but your church is the minority among Christians. I come from a large Christian family so I'm not saying that as someone who hates Christians, I'm saying that as someone with two eyes and common sense. And I'm also someone who is not straight so I'm also speaking from experience myself. Christians who ignore these issues within their community are only enabling them. I get that you feel defensive about your religion because it's a part of who you are so an attack on it feels like an attack on you, but if you really care about it then you should be motivated to work on improving it so it can live up to your love for it, instead of getting mad at people for being rightfully unhappy about a group that has a long, long history of abusing lgbt people, and which hasn't exactly done a lot in recent years to improve their reputation.
It's great that you have found a church that works for you. However, it is Christian evangelicals that are driving the US headlong into authoritarian right wing politics age the demonization of LGBTQ+ groups and individuals.
You also don't get to say, "those people are not real Christians because they believe differently to me." They are real Christians.
I encourage you not to internalize something that doesn't apply to you. Instead maybe look to the behavior of your fellow believers as to why your religion gets criticized, and even call them out for their shitty beliefs and actions.
I'm glad your Christian church is open and affirming. So is mine. If there's LGBTQ+ people out there who would like to try going to an open and affirming church, I can recommend UCC.org
But we can't and mustn't deny that a lot of Christian churches have been and absolutely still are hateful towards people who are LGBTQ+ and force them to try to hide or deny their identity. The mealy-mouthed "Love the sinner, hate the sin" means they're just trying to deny their own sin by pretending they aren't breaking "and love thy neighbor as thyself." To just say such people and churches are not "actual Christians" is denial at its laziest and enables them to continue unchecked.
And don't get me started on whole denominations that refuse to allow women to fill positions of power such as pastor or priest. They're not going to be ordaining any trans people either.

Leviticus 18:22 ~ You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination
I'm glad you found a church that doesn't teach the Bible.
Glad your accepting christian church took my rights to safe medical procedures in the event of an unviable pregnancy. Bunch of christians I have never interacted with felt fine doing that to me. So I feel fine hating them
but go on claim you think abortion is murder while advocating against sex education, the thing proven to reduce abortions - and for abortion-bans, which don't reduce abortions at all, and increase deaths in child-birth. Maybe I'm starting to think that you're the murderer.
/asagayman
Most likely never interact with?
You mean the same people writing laws against abortions or against trans people? They're coming for gay people next, I guarantee you that much.
Bro, get a real hobby, go outside make some friends, stop wasting your life doing this shit.
Wait, the last one was 1 star?
That’s the one that sold me on it.
Right? “May cause bisexual yearning” is supposed to be a warning?
Brother, I got news for you. If you are feeling bi-sexual yearning, it's not because you watched a movie.
Same. Pink acid trip, you say? I am intrigued.
That fella may have some introspection to do
"They won't be happy until we are all gay." I thought Barbie and Ken were the quintessential straight couple? I haven't watched the film but that is so odd.
Fellas, is it gay to be in a straight relationship?
Once back in high school, I was walking down the hall with a female friend of mine, and some dumb redneck yelled, "HEY! LOOKIT THE F***T WITH HIS LESBIAN GIRLFRIEND!" I almost died laughing.
Not gay, but you literally want to be in the body of a woman. Can't tell me that's not LGBT.
Well, straight girls like dick, and liking dick is gay, so yeah.
Margo Robbie is on screen but I can't stop staring at Ryan Gosling's toned body and soft face. This makes me uncomfortable and it's the movie's fault.
Stupid sexy Gosling.
I just saw the movie. There is nothing gay about it, unless a shirtless Ryan Gosling is too much for the commenter to repress.
Ryan gosling won’t settle until we are all lost in his kind eyes
I did read something about confusingly attractive lol
That fourth quote is legit quality.
"Confusingly attractive" tells you this person is avoiding some introspection.
No im very bisexual and would describe everyone in that film as confusingly attractive, I get its the point, but they all look very fake and plastic to the point its just on the edge of the uncanny valley.
I haven't seen the film or read this review, so I find it very possible that it was lifted out of context or maybe from someone who isn't a native speaker. Because the context I immediately assumed is that their attractiveness is confusing because mattel is virtue signaling about body acceptance and diversity in the entire film, and yet all the characters are of course conventionally attractive, and makeuped to shit. This though is based on an assumption of what the film is about to be fair.
I would not have thought that was a one star review based on the text. It kinda sounds like glowing praise.
".. confusingly attractive people..."
Sounds like someone's coming out of the closet in the near future.
The movie caused him to experience feelings he doesn't quite understand.
I read that in the sense that they're too conventional looking for what is a pink acid trip around a mass produced toy doll with an impossibly shaped body.
In fact of all 4 that's the only critique which is actually about the movie (notice how all the others are raging against some general fantasy they have in their minds, which they associated with the movie) and it even uses language that's not typical of the far-right crowd (how many far right nutters have you ever seen casually mentioning experiences from taking some kind of drug even in a methaphorical sense?!)
I suspect that it might actually be a legic critique, on top of which some people are projecting their own internal prejudices (because it was mixed with and presented as something from a far-right raging nutter) without actually doing your own personal analysis of it (aka thinking for yourself)
It's a bit hypocrite (or lacking self-awareness) to criticise others for their unthinking prejudiced take on something whilst having an unthinking prejudiced take on something.
I mean, a liitle thinking about it by yourself easilly leads to the same conclusion as the OP on the other 3 (clearly the product of brainless rightwinger fanatics) it's only this one that in style and content seems off from that, unless you're forcing certain possible but not logical interpretations of the meaning of its contents to force it to fit a prejudgement, which, IMHO, is dangerously parallel to very same mental processes that lead the far-right nutters to think this movie is about "spreading gayness".
No saying that I agree or disagree: all I'm saying is that this 4th comment in style and substance does not seem to be in the same bucket as the other 3.
sheit, i’m not convinced this is isn’t an official effort driven by the studio to promote the movie by some viral means
this is some genius fuckin advertising if it is, and it’s hilarious free advertising if it isn’t
That's exactly what this is.
Consume, consumer!
If the men writing that crap didn't want tge world to know they were dumb fucks, I'd call this a Streisand effect
Who the hell wants children to grow up to be vile beings and why would you give them ideas? What a terrible concept.
No respect for anyone but themselves was the telling part, though. Let's help others, homeless, less fortunate, immigrants, poor. Let's help others with healthcare, education, housing, food. "No! I'm not paying taxes so someone else can get something for FREE!".
Ok, now I know who they are talking about.
I read this imagining that danzam is Glenn Danzig's secret account where he posts dumdum takes the punk community would berate him for.
Well shit, worked on me. Now I want to see this murderous feminist pink acid trip
Yay
""""""""""""""""""""Confusingly""""""""""""""""""""""".
Are “name checks out” posts allowed here? Beetlejuicing?
At this point the Margot Robbie account is a part of Lemmy's origin story
Now I kinda want to see this movie. Stupid feminist agenda
Good. Good. Let the feminist agenda flow through you!
It's good. And I mean that in the most evil feminist way.
That last one just sounds like a compliment. An acid trip and I get to hang out with absurdly attractive people? Sounds fun.
Was planning on making it one anyways >.>
That sounds like a horrible idea. You really want to go into a crowded cinema on acid?

You should make this a game by making one panel a Alex Jones quote and see who can guess it.
It’s easier to guess if you imagine what an inebriated badger with heavy mange is capable of growling in its slurred but wild speech.
bro I had some long-ass comment, but I looked up and remembered this is shitpost town I gotta get out more
It was a suprisinhly good movie. Kinda sad by the lack of nuclear bombs though
What about my bomb-ass dance moves?
True...
Don't give up hope, maybe there'll be a sequel one day. 💣
I heard Michael Bay might be working on the sequel so yeah..
That was the difference when I was a kid. When my sister had Barbie and I played with them, they weren't pretty women climbing the corporate ladder. They were fodder for my Transformers and other toys. :) The nuclear bombs did come eventually...
I don't even get where the gay comment is coming from. The movie is more ace than anything sexuality wise.
Cause it's pink I guess.
That matches up with the actual equipment the toys have... Not that I would know. I definitely didn't check as a kid or anything.
I'd bet money that only one of those four reviews is from someone who's actually seen the movie and we can all tell which one
The "Pink Acid trip..." was pretty spot on, but that sounds like a pretty good time to me. I had a blast and thought it was spectacular. 10 our of 10 would take acid and get slapped by confusingly attractive people again!
movie marketers should just make a large language model entirely trained on conservative statements
And call it DeSantis
Please don't lol. That little monster would be running bot farms so fast it wouldn't even be funny.
The last one is pure gold
What does "confusingly attractive" mean? What's the lemmy equivalent of r/iamverysmart?
It means that if you ever find me, Margot Robbie, attractive in any way, shape or form, you are now gay, and you must support the gay agenda and LGBT rights immediately.
Sorry, but I don't make the rules.
Would laugh my ass off if in five or six years you actually ended up being Margot Robbie and were just playing it up like it was a fake account this whole time.
Barbie doesn't have nipples, duh. I'd be confused too if I found that attractive.
Makes him question his sexuality.
I absolutely want to see these as posters.
I wasn't interested in the movie before but now I want to see it.
honestly, i didn't think it was that good, story wise. there were a few funny quips, but overall I'd say it was a pretty forgettable movie.
2.5/5 wouldn't watch again without the prospect of sex.
The pink acid one fits amazingly lmao.
And we got this befpre another ben10 show
It's Benover
I haven’t seen it, but now I’m even more excited to
some people just can't handle the fact they've aged out of the target audience.
Ageism
If this is really the case, then where are the movies that are intended for older audiences? It feels like almost all movies are for a younger target audience nowadays (if that's what you want to call it). You can argue that Oppenheimer is one but besides that there haven't been many big movies for older audiences this year.
That is not what is going on here. They are using very recognisable terms from right wing social media propaganda. These are brainwashed morons with a political agenda.
The amount of gay people in this movie is how much? The Kens are straight, but very secure in their masculinity
There's one scene where a guy cat calls Ken when they roller blade into the real world. That's it. That's literally the only "gay" in the whole movie aside from some humorous double entendre (The beach off scene comes to mind).
Remember how Ken reacts?
very secure in their masculinity
Are they?
I definitely need to see this movie now!
This post is the reason I looked up the trailer. After watching that and seeing the second search result, I'll definitely be watching the movie when it's available to stream.
Fucking algorithm :/
I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don't know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack. If you find anything he's said compelling, you should keep in mind he also says things like this:
This is what the radical feminist movement was proposing, remember? Women need a man the way a fish needs a bicycle... unless it turns out that they're little fish, then you might need another fish around to help take care of things.
I'm not a bot, but please don't take Ben Shapiro seriously.
Didn't Ken have black hair?
Feminist Agenda / Big Giant Meteor 2024!!
Powerful, making propaganda for a private company.
Waiting for best picture nods.
...I thought the overall point was that the movie was confusing and stupid, but also barbie so it's fun?
Lol. Good stuff! Thanks for making these.
“Furious Men”
Yeah, because bigot women don’t exist, do they
EDIT: Thanks for the 19 downvotes and a total of one person caring to articulate. I love civil discussion.
I don't know why one implies the other doesn't exist. The fact is there are a bunch of MRA dudes very pissed off that a movie about a toy they likely never played with dares to be in theaters. And the things they say about it are amusing.
What I’m saying is, it’s an anonymous site. That person has no way to tell the gender of those reviewers, but they assumed it was men anyway.
