#I also hate how spiderverse makes anti capitalism jokes that you know are not taken seriously

It's honestly depressing to see fast fashion stores like Primark with entire Barbie collections. You know these clothes were made unethically. That while the movie can be praised by it's minimal feminism subject, women in the global south are not even being payed a living wage to produce Barbie merchandise.
I'm not even trying to be like "Oh, you, person who watched the movie and had fun is at fault" thats not a productive criticism. It just genuinely upsets me. So much Capitalism Realism. So much "feminism" while oppressing real life women. I think we should be angrier about how capitalism steals our struggles to sell them back to us and continue that very oppression.
I loved playing with barbies when I was a kid but everytime I think about this movie for more than 2 seconds I want to explode everything. It's not just a case of Barbie being propaganda movie to sell dolls. It's directly contributing to the oppression of women when they are the ones being exploited for us to be able to buy pink barbie tshirts. I hate these contradictions. Jesus Christ I need to eat breakfast.
