The Right-Wing Backlash Against ‘Barbie’ Is Hilariously Flopping

From "Margot Robbie is mid" to complaints about Ken not having balls, they're throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks

AT FIRST BLUSH, it would seem that the right wing would be just as excited as everyone else for the Barbie movie, which opens in wide release this Friday. There is, to be sure, much for conservatives to love: the doll Margot Robbie’s character is based on is a white woman who hews to conventional feminine beauty standards. She has no reproductive organs, so she can’t have sex out of wedlock or get pregnant; nor does she have any orifices, so both speech and sodomy are out of the question. And she’s married to a blandly handsome former prom king type who might secretly dream of tipping back vodka sodas at Bear Night at Flaming Saddles, so there’s plenty for conservative ladies in particular to relate to.

Yet for whatever reason — attention? clout? A preternatural aversion to enjoying things? — the right has come out guns blazing in opposition to the Barbie movie, even though it hasn’t even been released yet.

Honestly, all the right-wing jerks who are frothing at the mouth about this movie seem to all have the same basic motive: They're angry that someone has made a movie for women, and not for them.

They always get angry, when reminded that the universe doesn't revolve around themselves and their preferences.

Get over it, this is a movie for pre-teen girls.

Also nothing is more pathetic than the far left death cult's temper tantrums over Sound of Freedom. It's almost as if they are in favor of child sex trafficking which while that would be downright consistent it is disturbing.

THE MOVIE IN QUESTION IS NOT A SOLUTION NOR A MEANS OF SOLUTION TO THE CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING PROBLEM...IT IS MORE AKIN TO A YOUTUBE VIDEO ABOUT A RELEVANT SUBJECT...CONTENT DESIGNED TO CASH IN ON THE TOPIC.

Yet the left has such a problem with this “relevant subject”, the left loves child sex trafficking because child sex traffickers make up a huge demographic of their voting base. Anything that makes their cult look bad must be shamed into silence. They are some very sick people.

Thanks for confirming my legitimate suspicions.

The “right wing” is just laughing at you people for claiming this movie is some kind of research paper on feminism and the patriarchy while also claiming it’s worthy of Best Picture.
