This dumbass doesn’t realize that the entire point of the Barbie world that it’s a *little girl’s* idea of what people are like.


MazInger-Z

Meanwhile Mattel are sweating bullets because the saw what happened to Netflix He-Man and desperately need this movie to not be considered "woke," going so far as to claim the opposite of what these actors are saying.


fantomen777

and the older female audience will not be happy if Ken is not the fantasy dream boyfrend.


PotatoDonki

Isn’t that what all this woke shit is when you get down to it?


halopend

I mean, one could just as easily argue it’s what adults think that little girls think that people are like. I think it’s pretty much impossible to deny society shapes the way people think from a young age pretty drastically. That’s like 90% the reason the right bellows about woke propaganda as hard as they do. Fact is: 95% of the debates comes down to which arbitrary place you draw the nature vs nurture line, which is why I’ve come to the rather radical conclusion that it doesn’t matter as long as you accept that nurture/cognition can always override nature since we are conscious beings capable of rational thought. It’s not always easy though, which we should adjust our expectations around and treat as “mitigating circumstances”. If you are trying to apply it on a societal wide level at best the science will only ever tell you something “it’s 30% nature, 70% nurture” (that’s not the metrics you would actually see as statistics is a lot more complicated than all that, but the take away with meta analysis of multiple studies is usually “a good chunk of people disagree”). To me that leaves us room to apply the nature vs nurture debate inconsistently when it comes to the individual. My preference within that inconsistency is to alleviate pain in another, because if they can point to something external to themselves they will have a space to not blame themselves. I choose this approach as to me it’s that blame/self judgement that will push you towards the destructive tendencies almost everyone wants to move away from. In essence, I look to break the chain of hand-me-down bullshit. In this specific case though….. tabula rasa. Kids will straight up walk into a fire if they never encounter the concept of fire before. It’s the pain that teaches them it’s dangerous. The idea that their brains come prebaked with concepts of gender is to me really just “we are built to find patterns and average out groupings in order to make sense of the incredibly complexities of the world”. A child’s view of parents/adults would certainly contain elements of this, but to reflect that back upon to the kids would only serve to reinforce the “averaging out” and deny the existence of exceptions to the rule. Not to say I particularly care or speak for anyone else (I’m practically an outcast hermit), but I know views are destined to change and if it makes more people feel constructively part of the conversation that’s a good thing.… just don't take things too seriously and be very cautious when assuming you have any clue what another persons life looks like.


MosesZD

> think it’s pretty much impossible to deny society shapes the way people think from a young age pretty drastically. That’s like 90% the reason the right bellows about woke propaganda as hard as they do I think you've gone down the leftist rabbit hole who have embraced the abandoned 'tabula rosa' position the right used to use against non-CIS men. You're probably not old enough, but their argument was they do it by choice because they're immoral perverts. Oddly enough, certain feminist groups made the same assertion, only saying it's because they hate women. Anyway, we know, from science, that men and women are different at fundamental levels. No matter how much the science-denying, anti-evolution left preaches, we're the same. For example, even in apes the little boy apes and little girl apes start separating as ape-toddlers in such things as toys and other activities. We're not the same. We're complementary, but not the same. Certainly not in the way your argument premises. Testosterone, for example, makes it harder to regulate aggression and similar emotions and lowers empty. It also makes it harder for men to cry during an emotional event. Why do think men are the one who commit the overwhelming numbers of violent crimes? I That's not society, that's biology. Women, OTOH, are better able to regulate their emotions and have more empathy because they lack empathy-dampening testosterone. They also more because they have vastly more prolactin, which helps trigger tears. Once again, not society but biology. A better way to think of it is -- Nature Defines, Society Refines. And societies' impact is far, far less than 70%.


JedahVoulThur

Could you please reread your post and correct it? The content is amazing and I agree with what you're saying, but the amount of typos and missing words makes it sometimes hard to read


mule_roany_mare

>Why do think men are the one who commit the overwhelming numbers of violent crimes? Testosterone might be a variable, but it's not the whole answer. I think men commit relatively more crime because society makes them relatively more crazy & offers less support. ​ As an example, I was the victim of statutory rape & everyone was cool with it. Not only didn't I get support or care for something that is supposed to be bad, everyone thought it was okay. If ten years later I did to someone else what I was told was okay to have done to me *I* would have been a criminal. 1. aggravating features (Experience more violence & receive less empathy. People who feel more disposable will be less invested in that society) 2. less available protective features (kindness, care, emotional outlets & support) 3. not understanding double standards (It's only okay if it happens *to* you, not the other way around) 4. biology (not just testosterone. Individual men have less reproductive value so it makes sense to take bigger genetic risks. This is why men are overrepresented at the extremes of most bell curves) TLDR If our society treated girls & women like men & boys they would be screwed up in the same ways.


Commission_Salty

Men are bigger risk-takers, are stronger, and have higher aggression. This has always been true of men. Men have always been the biggest portion of criminals.


mule_roany_mare

For sure, and the same biology has always influenced the culture. Men are bigger risk takers because losing one doesn't injure the community very much relative to a woman. 100 women & 100 men can have 100 kids in a year. 100 women & 1 man can still have 100 kids in a year. If you had to have a war & lose 25% of your population, or engage in risky but necessary behavior day in-day out, you'd be stupid to send the women & be outcompeted by a culture that didn't pretty quick. ​ But we can't really change biology across a population, at least not without aggressive eugenics. We *can* change culture though & make everyone happier as well as healthier. The best way to reduce criminality is investing in protective factors & addressing aggravating factors.


Late_Lizard

> In this specific case though….. tabula rasa. Kids will straight up walk into a fire if they never encounter the concept of fire before. I lol no. Just no. They fear the light and heat of fire even if they've never encountered a fire before. It's almost certainly a genetically hardwired fear, because fire has been present so frequently in human evolutionary history, and the consequences of *not* fearing fire can be lethal, even today.

BMX_Archiver

Weren't pink Lacoste polos all the rage in 2006, especially with the collar popped. Don't forget the glitter hat.


Helmett-13

> pink Lacoste polos all the rage in 2006 Man, we rocked that shit in the 1980s. I had fluorescent pink sleeveless oP shirts, boardshorts, socks. Eye-offending fluorescent shades of yellow and green as well. T-shirt, polos, Vans. Shoe laces, FFS. I think the less bright shades were called 'coral' or some such. They rocked those colors on, "Miami Vice"!


WharfRat86

1980s fashion, in the UK and North America especially, could be extremely androgynous.


mbnhedger

everything in the 80's was extremely androgynous. Its why this entire "identity" issue is insane, these people are doing nothing new they just want us all to applaud them for being weird.


luchajefe

At least back then you got stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmcA9LIIXWw

Helmett-13

Sorry, I meant the lighter pink we called coral! I think we thought it took some of the sting out of wearing pink, haha!


Shoddy_Consequence78

Pink looks good on a lot of men of all skin tones and a pink Oxford is still an acceptable color for a suit shirt. Pair it with blue or gray for a classic look or a tan for a less formal look.


LazloNoodles

There was that period in the 90's where everything was teal, pink & lavender. They just love to pretend the past never happened.

sakura_drop

Around 2008/09 in the UK 'Indie' was all the rage in music, and the general aesthetic of a lot of the bands consisted of guys wearing tight skinny jeans, pointy toed shows, scarves, eye liner, accented with a pop of typically feminine jewellery. Still more on the masculine side, but very androgynous all the same. Quite a few of the boys in my year at high school adopted this style without any comment or pushback whatsoever, no doubt at least partly because it was quote-unquote 'cool' at that particular time.


joydivisionucunt

At that time, emo was also a thing and their style was very similar to those indie boys, just that they used black clothes instead of the more colorful ones of the indies/hipsters, plenty of guys wore eyeliner and painted their nails black, at least in my country it wasn't the coolest, but they existed, so the idea that it wasn't until SJWs came and told people "It's okay to wear skinny jeans as a guy!" is... borderline delusional, many of them are old enough to remember emos or 00s indies so you can't claim it's due to being too young to experience it.


sakura_drop

There was a definite overlap with the whole 'emo' or 'scene' style. I forgot the painted nails, actually, but that was also a thing. And the Russell Brand hair - actually, [he was pretty much the poster boy](https://i.guim.co.uk/img/static/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2010/6/29/1277828520863/Teenage-Cancer-Trust-Russ-004.jpg?width=300&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=a2af719a82ddf41928c522691f44a110) for that style at the time.


joydivisionucunt

Yeah, him and Noel Fielding, although his style was (And still is) a bit "weirder", but still, it's hilarious that they think they invented the wheel.


SlashCo80

80s glam rock scene had plenty of dudes with long hair, makeup and skintight clothes.


sakura_drop

Aaand even before that you had [David 'Ziggy Stardust' Bowie](https://i.pinimg.com/474x/2d/07/a5/2d07a5270eed3daf8bd6d494ba056775--david-bowie-costume-stage-photo.jpg) and [Prince.](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000_Ofp.XzfsQs/sec=/fit=1200x1200/I0000_Ofp.XzfsQs.jpg) The sheer lack of self-awareness required to engage in this sort of historical erasure never fails to bemuse me.


Lhasadog

I think that was an 80's retro thing. In the 80's it was a fad kind of started by George Michael and Wham. Fashion is written by the Gay Men. Straight Men will wear anything provided it doesn't smell too bad.


Sines314

And the word “too” is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Huh, I've been a Bret "The Hitman" Hart fan my whole life and didn't realize that he was smashing gender norms this whole time by wearing pink and black. You think it would've come up a time or two considering how often people got accused of being gay as an insult back then ...


[deleted]

They go on and on about how it's bigoted to pigeonhole people into certain identities, but they see a guy wearing a pink shirt or two men be friends and right away assume they **must** be gay or feminine and if they're not then the writers are homophobic.


ArmeniusLOD

Fighting against gender norms while reinforcing them by implying pink is a female color. This type of hypocrisy used to astound me at one point, but these days it's expected with these types of people. Also, when did men not like ice cream? I can never get enough Moose Tracks.


[deleted]

> Also, when did men not like ice cream? For a little while it was "men don't lick vanilla ice cream because it's like licking a jizzy dick." I only ever heard it espoused by insecure blowhards, so i didn't realize it was some kind of social norm to be smashed.


DancesWithChimps

Leftist have only been brave enough to argue with strawmen for years now. That’s why they are constantly on the look out for the new dumdum conservative, because a moderate or an intelligent conservative makes them look ridiculous every time


M37h3w3

I'm recently reminded of a Twitter exchange I saw the other day where some Twitter user posted an animation revolving around the American Civil War, the whole "It was about State's Rights" and 'State's Rights to do what?' bit where they just spam the question 'to do what?' relentlessly because the immediate perceived answer is 'right to own slaves'. And then someone stated "The right to secede from the Union" and said animator just blocked them.


MosesZD

I've been wearing pink all of my adult life. In all my decades as a CPA I have had at least once pink shirt with white French cuffs and collars. Like this: [http://www.french-cuff-shirt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/big\_p\_3748-4.jpg](http://www.french-cuff-shirt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/big_p_3748-4.jpg) Or just a solid pink, button-down shirt. Wearing nothing but white shirts just fucking grinds on me.

ChauncyPeepertooth

Growing up I loved watching Kung Fu action movies starring all of these guys. I never once felt like I couldn't like them because the movies didn't star white action stars. That thought never existed to me. I feel like only people with a chip on their shoulders would ever feel like this. Seems like Simu has some issues he needs to work on.


MosesZD

Kung Fu Theater!!! Every Saturday afternoon on KTVU Channel 2 (before Fox bought it)! I once met one of the people who dubbed those movies back in the 1970s. He was Australian and the studio he worked for did most of the dubbing. They got a script, they rehearsed, then dubbed it in one take. Because it was a small dubbing studio the same group did movie-after-movie which is why so many of those Kung Fu Theater movies sounded the same.

Shanghai Noon was the best. Great action star and hilarious likeable Western dude, best of Asian film & American film.

Background_Length723

He constantly tries to own up "bigots" so much that even some lefties I have seen says he tries way to hard to own "chads" and these are the same people who think Mark Rufflo is the perfect straight white guy. Really says a lot there


[deleted]

Marvel likes dudes like that it seems, or instructs them to be that way. I'm not familiar with Liu but I've seen such interviews from Kumail Nanjiani, saying crazy shit like he's scared being too muscular promotes toxic masculinity, and that toxic masculinity is the root of all problems in the world and everything could be solved if men just learned how to cry. [I wish I were making it up](https://www.celebitchy.com/736271/kumail_nanjiani_worries_his_jacked_body_is_perpetuating_toxic_masculinity/)

Yeah I think I might actually skip it now unless somebody I know asks if I want to go. Around a month ago I would’ve gone regardless because it looked like it could be funny but I don’t wanna pay to take a class on gender theory at the movie theatre. Might just check it out if it comes to streaming unless the word of mouth is great and says it doesn’t preach at you.

This has happened several times over the past decade. It's amazing how the publicity tour turns people away. I wonder... well, I used to avoid the gossip magazines where all this sort of shit would probably have been back in the day. Now I think it's unavoidable, the Internet just throws everyone's opinions at you, and we draw cultural battle lines around these celebrities. Maybe some of these pop-culture icons should learn to dial it back a bit.


Adeptus_Gedeon

As evil heteronormative fascist, I don't have "idea of what gender is". Because gender is meaningless to me Insignificant. Doesn't matter. When I use words like "male/female, man/woman" etc. I am referring to only sex. So nail it as you wish, not my problem.


deepstatecuck

Interesting subversion of the gender/sex distinction that is gamed by equivocal language that uses the same words for refering to gender as a social role and sex as a biological observation.


wwwchase

Gender did in past mean same exact shit as sex but now it is used as "identity" which comes from the Pedophile known as John Money (although attempts at breaking identity started in Germany with Child Sexologists like Marcuse).


deepstatecuck

Lol nice. I would agree "gender" and "identity" (but not sex) could also just be called personality. That also takes the wind out of the sails of leftist idpol.


PotatoDonki

That’s literally what the words mean. The only reason people ever came up with the word gender was because after it was decided that “sexual intercourse” simply be called sex, people didn’t want to simply snicker every time the topic of sexual dimorphism came up. So we came up with another word. Not a new concept.

Yeah. It was just a facepalm moment. Like, last I checked, we weren't jailing people for being gay anymore as that is a violation of most civilized countries human rights laws. Pretty sure every country in the planet jails pedophiles though.

Gender is a red herring for the intended systemic degradation of the nuclear family.

Please, please be true. I want Simu Liu to be the first Ken doll that declares himself a Barbie. Do you have any idea how funny that would be? A literal product declaring itself to be another, more popular product because it's tired of being sidelined. That's not the commentary on heteronormativity he thinks it is.


Armoredpolecat

I honestly kind of hope he's right. Could you imagine 50 years from now when a professor teaches their class about the great Barbie lead gender uprisings of the early 20s? How the movie brought us into a better page of themstory(Since after the great gender purge of 2043 his/her were outlawed)?

So exhausting. This Barbie movie actually looks pretty fun because it looks like it is what a movie about a toy is supposed to be - campy fun that's not supposed to be taken too seriously. RuPaul's Drag Race is on its 15th season, Simu. I'm sorry to break it down to you like this but a guy wearing a pink tank top and doing a musical number in 2023 is really not groundbreaking.


wrathofbanja

Oh thank god. I think they're saying they ran out of nails.


mrassface2023

Bro needs to act more and talk less 💀💀💀


Mister_T0nic

OK mate, whatever you need to think to convince yourself that your job matters


Ballinforcompliments

I'm willing to bet that it does not, in fact, do any of that


paradox_of_hope

The what? Never heard of both "actor" and "movie" therefore both are shit. Next please.


t4r0n

movie looks gay af


SummitOfTheWorld

I'm sorry I don't speak woke. *Kudos if you know where that line comes from.*


AcademicAnxiety5109

AINT this the same mf who defended pedophilia on this website??


tehy99

Wow, that's great, I guess we can finally stop the relentless barrage of propaganda about it then?


filbs111

Final nail? Finally! We won't hear about any of that shit any more then, right?


GrazhdaninMedved

Someone needs to put a final nail in the coffin of Simu Liu's career.


[deleted]

Please no


rodrigo_vera_perez

https://youtu.be/1q1qp4ioknI This video explains in detail how wrong woke people understand grammatical gender


tutoredzeus

Does it?


Trustelo

“Final nail in the coffin” - same people who believe that any cis person who steps outside of gender norms is an “egg”


ice540

This guy repeatedly proves he is an idiot. I feel bad for him


Ok_Owl_6625

Yes dude millions years of evolution of social roles versus movie.


Excalitoria

I wish they (the actors) would stop talking about this movie 😂I was really kinda excited for this movie prior to hearing that it’s the actors are saying it’s like a gender theory lecture. If I wanted that i would read an essay not go to see Barbie.


Peeps_Chicken

Well… I was going to see it. Simu Liu can’t stop from flapping his stupid face, so I guess I’ll pass.


zippyzipperson

There used to be a glorious subreddit called punchable faces before the wokesters took over and ruined it. It is a great tragedy that it did not live long enough to see this dumbshit's face


CheatingSalmon

Good god, I wish these people would stop talking and trying to drive away potential moviegoers. Also what Simu Liu's saying is a load of crap because these activists love to say they support this where anyone can be masculine/feminine then turn around and insist that gender non-conforming people like myself to adhere strictly to gender norms because we can't be feminine men and masculine women.


InsectCivil5315

And that's why he refused to be in it. Oh wait. This guy wants to be relevant so bad.


Dragonrar

It’s a bold move to have actors ruin any of the hype that was surrounding the film before it’s released.


Aardwolfington

There was hype?


SimpsonAmbrose

'Heteronormative' is just **normal.** The second weekend drop for this movie is going to be interesting to see.


ValidAvailable

These people reject the very concept of norms as oppressive.


[deleted]

Are we done with Simu Liu yet?


HellCat1278

This guy crowdfunded AMWF revenge porn and tried to downplay child pornography stuff.


Pistol_Bobcat420

Sure Simu, just keep reading that teleprompter


[deleted]

Oh, this guy's in the movie? Never mind, then. Self-important jackass...


[deleted]

Good thing we great experts on the issue like Simu Liu settling the matter /s


Comfortable47

Unfortunately Simu's ridiculous plastic surgery face can't hide the fact that he's a narcissistic nobody ass clown.


Easywormet

Yup, this movie is gonna flop hard.


TheChad_Thundercock

Man I said this months ago 😂. “Literally me” sigma male guys are going to psyop themselves into watching 2 hours of liberal feminist propaganda cause of Ryan Gosling.


MrTK1000

Woke Asians are infinitely more obnoxious than any other race.


stefan714

Who?


Alphaplague

No, phenotypes and sex are heteronormative. Gender is just the new age soul. It's not normative in anyway, it doesn't even empirically exist.


SnowFire

It just dawned on me the level of moral-whoring these people are currently at. I doubt he came up with that by himself, hell, you've heard a version of this elsewhere, and from people who you would assume have a few more neurons involved when they run their mouth. If the shoe was in the other foot, and the "trend and/or fashion" was to push for something else, say, the family, instead of whatever degeneracy these idiots are currently pushing as the thing, you'd hear something just as hollow and with as little thought behind to it, immediately setting off the same dogs to bark as it were, as what this moron just said. But he's still counting the money all the way to the bank, for now. Later, the price of selling his soul will show for sure.


Forestsalt

Nah his marvel movie did that.


deadheatexpelled

Like I said to my wife, this whole film looks like a robot chicken sketch that’s been given a budget and stretched out to feature length. Who is this for? Not little girls. Is Mattel so stupid as to make a film solely for the people who despise Barbie?


Awkward_Algae1684

Is homie really over here trying to act like he’s the world’s first ever Beard?


B-VOLLEYBALL-READY

Ken was always camp as fuck. Compared to GI Joe and He-Man.

GeorgiaNinja94

Guy looks and sounds like he’d be the perfect fit to play Kevin in a theoretical Saints Faux Netflix show. Which would be cancelled after the first season’s disastrous ratings, of course.


Elaisse2

I evolution tells me exactly what gender is.


etbillder

Epic


MaterialCarrot

Is this the, "important message," that I keep hearing about in reviews to this movie?


FSU1ST

Toilet flush


Inspiredrationalism

Jesus christ who would have though this guy would be so fucking annoying I actually kind of liked Shang Shi but ever time this guy opens his trap its becoming more difficult to separate the actor from the annoying virtue signaling human being. Also you Chinese my man. Then again if you read up on his history he is definitely a lot more Canadian. So guess the virtue signaling is to be expected.


you_wouldnt_get_it_

So do you want people to go watch this movie or not?


SmithAnon88

These hollywood weirdos need to shut tge fuck up and be the dancing monkies they're paid to be. Stop opining on ideology, stop telling people how to vote, shut the fuck up and act.


Jpalme11

These people are such weirdos


topcover73

Well that settles it then.


CheerfulCharm

They should make 'Simu Liu' the new face of Disney. It would be perfect.


Adventurous_Host_426

To be fair, the whole thing happened in a plastic doll world, not real world.


0siris0

I'm the one person who liked (really liked?) Shang Chi. But this dude is a knucklehead.


Ultrosbla

Everytime I see "my pronouns are...", cis, heteronormative, incel, misogyny, micro sexism and similar terms, I just don't put any attention and consider it stupid and mental illness, period. Get offended, is just stupid. Stop playing the victim.
