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 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.
I am Christian (I'm not out to go modify non-Christians though and have a lot of misgivings about the way other Christians have been approaching the topic) and have been in the church basically my whole life and can echo what u/BarqsHasBite stated. The big fear from their end is LGBTQIA+ folks "converting" the children to change the nation. Spend enough time looking at liberal-based news (I imagine you don't want to, that's fine but it needs to be said) and you'll see lots of examples of Christian vitriol against LGBTQIA+ in a very un-Christ-like manner. If you're not seeing it around you, you're lucky.
"It’s bigotry and they’ve fully embraced it."
As a Christian talking to a Christian, I'm astounded you don't understand the nature of the culture war going on. One side views homosexuality as a horror that needs to be snuffed out, and the other side views it as a major component of their person that is inseparable. One side wants homosexuality to die and the other side views that as a threat against their person. One side is using the Republican party to attack availability of transgender services that a good chunk of the other side relies on to live because they have followed their gender dysphoria through to personal body modification.
You and a lot of other Christians in this country need to stop with the persecution claims and crawl out from under your rock and have some open dialogue with your fellow Americans or citizens of whatever country you're in and stop cowering behind your pride and ego. It's fair to be viewed with mistrust when others of your faith are attacking what they are standing for. We are being intolerant of their choices and then crying intolerance and that is plain idiotic.
The person you're responding to, Eleazor, just commented to me a week later: "I’m sorry but yes, you should consider bottom surgery mutilation. There’s a difference between the other things but I’m sure you’re missing it."
That isn’t nuance, it’s unhinged rambling about stuff I never said, at all. I especially didn’t “cast stones on the queers”. I’m gay, I wouldn’t do that. I cherish gay rights and gay marriage deeply.
I also don’t think sexual or gender identity, or religion, is a baseline for someone doing something that horrible.
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.
Southern Florida, Christian church. The only time I’ve encountered anyone like what your describing has been at pride parades, ironically.
I believe you’re greatly over-exaggerating their existence because you hate all religious people and are trying to convince yourself you’re not a bigot when you obviously are.
The majority of people on Earth are religious. You’ll find “replacing” their beliefs to be impossible. Perhaps you should consider being more tolerant instead of living in a hateful fantasy world.
I'm not removing comments replying to you just as I am not removing your comment.
Provided it maintains a level of respect and decorum when conversing I have no qualms with anybody discussing and debating.
Keep it civil, no personal attacks, no offensive language etc...
Get a construction job and tell them youre gay -_-
I did that when i was stupid, then i accidentally did it at another job. Working at a new job and nobody knows. Miraculously they arent following me around and writing me up for the smallest mistake. Everyone likes me because theyll go on their trump rant and i just say "uh huh"
Im not allowed to say what i think though. That would make me a bad worker.
I spent years in southern Florida and can confidently say that this person has either been beyond sheltered for their entire life until this exact comment section, or they're lying to make a bad faith argument. Most people I met there have the kind of political views you'd expect from someone that likes DeSantis, and will make sure you're very aware of that.
You must have never met any gay people here before then because I can’t think of anyone I know who supports DeSantis.
I don’t know why anyone would assume that living here automatically means you do. That’s not true for any state. My area is also incredibly diverse, I’m sorry but your experience sounds fictitious to me.
I can’t think of anyone I know who supports DeSantis.
How did he get elected then? I'm happy for you that you live in a bubble of diversity, tolerance, and equality, but maybe you should give some thought to those in your state who don't.
Uhh what? You completely misunderstood me. I was referring to people that show up to protest pride with hateful signs and megaphones. I’m being genuine here.
You should educate yourself, my friend. Following the teachings of Jesus Christ is fine but being a denominational Christian is another thing all together. You are part of a cult where all you are is a means to an end.
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.
Nice quote I’ve heard literally nobody say before this post. What’s your point? I’m speaking from experience when I say these views are wildly unpopular among Christians.
The person you're responding to, Eleazor, just commented to me a week later: "I’m sorry but yes, you should consider bottom surgery mutilation. There’s a difference between the other things but I’m sure you’re missing it."
Then how come they're all you see on the national stage? Why are all of the "deeply religious Christian" charlatans backed by the Republican Party and their base?
It isn't unpopular. I wish it was. It's a twofold task though to make them unpopular. Christians need to decry the homophobic and bigoted "Christians" to create internal pressure while others create external pressure.
As someone who lives in a southern town surrounded by "Christians" that would definitely be going to hell if they believed even the smallest fraction of what they pretend, your stance is ridiculous.
Transphobic ones are even more common. The person you're responding to, Eleazor, just commented to me a week later: "I’m sorry but yes, you should consider bottom surgery mutilation. There’s a difference between the other things but I’m sure you’re missing it."
Who cares who it was "truly" written and who cares if the word "homosexuality" isn't literally in the Bible? The King James Bible, which was written in 1622, is the most commonly-used English language Bible and it's unapologetically anti-gay (ironic, since James himself was gay).
And I call bullshit on the Leviticus part. Firstly because putting the young boy to death as well makes no sense and secondly because I would find it hard to believe that ancient Jews who had over 600 laws about what you shouldn't be doing were just fine with the gay stuff.
The King James Bible, which was written in 1622, is the most commonly-used English language Bible and it’s unapologetically anti-gay (ironic, since James himself was gay)
It was also a translation of the original Hebrew, which we're learning in recent years was full of errors.
putting the young boy to death as well makes no sense
Where...does it imply that in the text?
I would find it hard to believe that ancient Jews who had over 600 laws about what you shouldn’t be doing were just fine with the gay stuff.
It's absolutely possible, even if not necessarily true. Multiple historical accounts imply much of the anti-gay stuff was falsified or only in specific communities.
Leviticus 20:13 - If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
So, again, if it's a man raping a child, why kill the child?
I think this is a dangerous rabbit hole to go down. The vast majority of religions cherry-pick from their religious texts. Arguing that Christians fundamentally can't be tolerant of gay people because of Leviticus is basically conceding them to hatred. It's also an argument frequently used by the right to spark hatred Western minority religions like Islam because the Qu'ran says a lot of messed up stuff like the Bible does.
There are Christian denominations that openly accept gay people and I don't think it's wise to claim they aren't "real" Christians because of a few passages from a text written by dozens if not hundreds of people that already contradicts itself repeatedly.
I’m not religious of the sort but i have done a lot of reading since my gay childhood friend married in the SDA church.
There are those who take the bible literally and it’s not supposed to be meant to be read that way. Jewish folks don’t read the torah literally.
For example, Rachel held evans has a fantastic book where she follows biblical teachings for women from the Old Testament. she found out from her jewish friend that proverbs 31 is nothing the sort of what evangelicals claim to be. Spoiler: it’s a song in the torah praising women for the work they do, not a list of things a perfect biblical woman should do.
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.
"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.
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.
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 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.
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!".
And that's esteemed Academy Award and Golden Globe nominated marketing genius/master digital artist/fast food burger connoisseur/character actress Margot Robbie to you!
I choose to believe the actual Margot Robbie has decided shitposting on a niche platform most people have never heard of is a worthwhile use of her time.
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...
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
It sort of dose, Women are just as vile at this stuff, and sometimes more so, as men.
Take the calls for death to trans peoples, a lot of that is coming from women, self avowed feminists no less, and we have had a collective blind spot to these people for so long because ironically the Feminist movement fell into reinforcing gender stereotypes
It’s really not. Especially considering how feminists are always (oftentimes rightfully) complaining about gender assumptions, they definitely shouldn’t do that themselves. It wasn’t even necessary, “from furious men” could’ve been removed altogether and the comment would’ve conveyed the same feeling, without the pointless sexism.
Also yes, it’s Lemmy Shitpost and the post fits, I was “complaining” about the original author.
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.
Oh don’t worry, I’m not confused: I’m reveling.
And we love that for you.
Same. Pink acid trip, you say? I am intrigued.
That fella may have some introspection to do
...and some other feelings that are weird and confusing.
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.
Excellent. The plan is working.
The Gay Agenda strikes again!
What happened when you were five?
They became gay, of course
You hit a milestone of brain development and start understanding other people (and yourself) have independent thoughts, preferences, etc.
This statement is misrepresenting us disorganized gays. I don't have an agenda, I'm late to everything!
Username half checks out?
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

Girl, the only thing I don't tolerate is intolerance. Look that shit up in between you bible verses about slavery and killing fig trees and shit.
This guy bibles.
Damn crazy how your anecdotal experience doesn't change what the majority of christians stand for
.
That isn’t nuance, it’s unhinged rambling about stuff I never said, at all. I especially didn’t “cast stones on the queers”. I’m gay, I wouldn’t do that. I cherish gay rights and gay marriage deeply.

'treat others as you want to be treated'
Unless you're a masochist.
You make a lot of sense

That's how shit works around here.
That’s fair. At the time I was taking some of it personal but I shouldn’t. People are entitled to their opinions and I respect that.
Get a construction job and tell them youre gay -_-
I did that when i was stupid, then i accidentally did it at another job. Working at a new job and nobody knows. Miraculously they arent following me around and writing me up for the smallest mistake. Everyone likes me because theyll go on their trump rant and i just say "uh huh"

Uhh what? You completely misunderstood me. I was referring to people that show up to protest pride with hateful signs and megaphones. I’m being genuine here.
Calm down Audrey Hale.
People are allowed to disagree with you and your beliefs without them being a bigot.
Also, your Bible hates you, who is the one living in a fantasy world?
More bigotry huh? Yawn.
You should educate yourself, my friend. Following the teachings of Jesus Christ is fine but being a denominational Christian is another thing all together. You are part of a cult where all you are is a means to an end.
Night of the Long Knives, my friend.

[Points to post]:
Nice quote I’ve heard literally nobody say before this post. What’s your point? I’m speaking from experience when I say these views are wildly unpopular among Christians.
'Homophobic Christians arent a thing' isn't the hot take I thought I'd see on lemmy, but there it is.
The person you're responding to, Eleazor, just commented to me a week later: "I’m sorry but yes, you should consider bottom surgery mutilation. There’s a difference between the other things but I’m sure you’re missing it."
Nah, didn’t say that. Wildly unpopular though, yes.
Then how come they're all you see on the national stage? Why are all of the "deeply religious Christian" charlatans backed by the Republican Party and their base?
It isn't unpopular. I wish it was. It's a twofold task though to make them unpopular. Christians need to decry the homophobic and bigoted "Christians" to create internal pressure while others create external pressure.
As someone who lives in a southern town surrounded by "Christians" that would definitely be going to hell if they believed even the smallest fraction of what they pretend, your stance is ridiculous.
Homophobic Christians are so common it's crazy. I don't know what sort of luck you have lol, or whether you just live life with your head in the sand.
Transphobic ones are even more common. The person you're responding to, Eleazor, just commented to me a week later: "I’m sorry but yes, you should consider bottom surgery mutilation. There’s a difference between the other things but I’m sure you’re missing it."
Bruhhh
Then they need to stop voting for people that hold these views.
Ribbit
Not even that elaborate tbh, pretty standard operating procedure for these "people" tbh.
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.
I am pretty sure they do different stuff with the males than they would with a woman.
Ancient greeks in shambles.
Who cares who it was "truly" written and who cares if the word "homosexuality" isn't literally in the Bible? The King James Bible, which was written in 1622, is the most commonly-used English language Bible and it's unapologetically anti-gay (ironic, since James himself was gay).

So, again, if it's a man raping a child, why kill the child?
Do you think a movie with powerful enough propaganda could make you gay?
No?
Well then what gives you the ego to say that everyone else is so weak that they could be tricked, yet you are the strong one?
Seriously. That's the question. The fall of people. The powerful main character syndrome they have.
I think this is a dangerous rabbit hole to go down. The vast majority of religions cherry-pick from their religious texts. Arguing that Christians fundamentally can't be tolerant of gay people because of Leviticus is basically conceding them to hatred. It's also an argument frequently used by the right to spark hatred Western minority religions like Islam because the Qu'ran says a lot of messed up stuff like the Bible does.

I'm sorry but I simply disagree. Hypocrisy needs to be called out and the absurdity of religion needs to be called out.
The fact that this guy's church is nice to gays does not make up for the hate and death religion has brought to the gay community.
I'm pointing out the ridiculousness of a church that's pro gay, while I also point out the evil of churches that are anti gay.
I don't have to pick the lesser of two evils becuase they are both evil, lying and manipulative.
I’m not religious of the sort but i have done a lot of reading since my gay childhood friend married in the SDA church.
There are those who take the bible literally and it’s not supposed to be meant to be read that way. Jewish folks don’t read the torah literally.
For example, Rachel held evans has a fantastic book where she follows biblical teachings for women from the Old Testament. she found out from her jewish friend that proverbs 31 is nothing the sort of what evangelicals claim to be. Spoiler: it’s a song in the torah praising women for the work they do, not a list of things a perfect biblical woman should do.
I fucking hate the church though.
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.

Bro, get a real hobby, go outside make some friends, stop wasting your life doing this shit.
"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.
"Yes I'm gay. Gay for dat pussy!"
🤣
Not gay, but you literally want to be in the body of a woman. Can't tell me that's not LGBT.
That's why the straightest thing to do is to fuck another dude, no feminity to make you gay
Listen to classical tradition, they knew what they were doing
Also, a man crossdressing as a woman is the manliest thing he can do because women can only regularlydress as a woman.
this thread is a blessing, i think i pulled somthing in my back from laughing too hard :/
Sounds like a skill issue to me.
They fuck men.

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
There's a dance number where some guys give (main) ken a kiss on the cheek. That's all I can think of.
I mean, that hardly can count as gay (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)
they could just be french
Yeah, but French people are all gay :^)
But it’s about girl toys, and girl stuff is so gaaaay!
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.
"Attractive people in absurd situations." --- Samantha Carter Stargate SG-1
Mmmm I see you are a person of culture
Is that from wormholes extreme?!
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.
It's not really about that. It is really more of a pink acid trip, or a comedy version of the matrix. Just go see it and stop guessing.
That sounds fun. I am pretty against films made to sell toys, so I might have to skip it. Sorry.
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.
There's something funny in seeing how a girl's toy still threatens grown-men's boyhood beyond their 12th anniversary.
Grown? Yes. Men? Ehhh...
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
I found this while looking at reviews
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.
LeFtIsTs dO.
Finally. There you are. I've faced so many left-wing schmucks, I was wondering where the right-wing ones had gone.
But you're still a schmuck. Leftists don't want children to grow up to be vile.
I read this imagining that danzam is Glenn Danzig's secret account where he posts dumdum takes the punk community would berate him for.
I get that it flopped, but was The Flash really that bad?
""""""""""""""""""""Confusingly""""""""""""""""""""""".
Are “name checks out” posts allowed here? Beetlejuicing?
At this point the Margot Robbie account is a part of Lemmy's origin story
And that's esteemed Academy Award and Golden Globe nominated marketing genius/master digital artist/fast food burger connoisseur/character actress Margot Robbie to you!
I choose to believe the actual Margot Robbie has decided shitposting on a niche platform most people have never heard of is a worthwhile use of her time.
Me too.
Maybe I'll finally win an Oscar for this.
Well shit, worked on me. Now I want to see this murderous feminist pink acid trip
Yay
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.

Sir, could you keep it down?
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?
Yeah, wait for the at home release before you do that. Snacks will be a lot cheaper too.
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...
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...
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..
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!
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.
The last one is pure gold
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.
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.
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.
It's really amazing how much I can get away with saying just by having an obviously AI generated profile picture of myself.
Barbie doesn't have nipples, duh. I'd be confused too if I found that attractive.
Makes him question his sexuality.
The pink acid one fits amazingly lmao.
And we got this befpre another ben10 show
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.
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.
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.
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.
Didn't Ken have black hair?
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.
I definitely need to see this movie now!
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?
Are they?

Waiting for best picture nods.
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.
I think it's a fair assumption. I also think it doesn't really matter since this is Lemmy Shitpost.
It sort of dose, Women are just as vile at this stuff, and sometimes more so, as men.
Take the calls for death to trans peoples, a lot of that is coming from women, self avowed feminists no less, and we have had a collective blind spot to these people for so long because ironically the Feminist movement fell into reinforcing gender stereotypes
It’s really not. Especially considering how feminists are always (oftentimes rightfully) complaining about gender assumptions, they definitely shouldn’t do that themselves. It wasn’t even necessary, “from furious men” could’ve been removed altogether and the comment would’ve conveyed the same feeling, without the pointless sexism.
Also yes, it’s Lemmy Shitpost and the post fits, I was “complaining” about the original author.
