finally watched the barbie movie. guys it's literally just an advertisement. yall hyped up an advertisement. y'all hyped up a 2-hour russian nesting doll of advertisements with surface level feminism that doesn't actually accomplish anything. this is literally just a giant, "edgy-but-self-aware" advertisement. it says alllll the right things, all of the politically correct things, but at the end of the day IT! IS! STILL! AN! AD!!! mattel does NOT care about ur asses and the literal BILLION dollars they made off of this movie only proves that.

#barbie #barbie movie #feminism #barbie doll #guys let's be SO for real right now #this is just capitalist feminism: the movie #you guys will REALLY watch anything that merely says the right things #but what does the movie DO??? why was the movie even MADE??? ask yourselves that PLEASE #you guys actually think that an incredibly rich doll company that was undergoing a decrease in sales #cares about the diversity and plight of women???#this is peak white western feminism #(i hate using buzzwords like that but seriously)#literally a capitalist dystopia #mattel's involvement in the movie negates any attempt at a social message or change the movie tries to tell us it's sending #because it's not real!!!! it doesn't come from a place of trying to change the circumstances or suffering of women AROUND THE WORLD #but rather just to promote or sell products to an audience #it's such a mockery and disgrace to what feminism is supposed to be about #barbie critical
