Barbie and the conservative outrage machine

  Stopped reading at the uncritical use of the word “transgenderism” and the unanalyzed repetition of the falsehood that Budweiser suffered financially from the Dylan Mulvaney thing (it didn’t).

  Not sure what fence the author is trying to sit on, but I’ll take my opinion fluff pieces from people who aren’t actively aiding the conservative culture war.

    Anyone quoting Breitbart is signaling their allegiance to fascism.

  Are we pretending Warner Bros. are on the left because they made a movie with some buzz words?

  Keep in mind this works both ways. The progressive outrage machine is arguably even more active than the conservative machine. Look at the reaction to Sound of Freedom. An extremely neutral movie when you consider the politics of its content. But the main actor is a conspiracy theorist, so I guess that means the movie is a far right propaganda vehicle? By that logic most movies are far left propaganda vehicles.

  A similar phenomenon has always followed Trump around. Media gets insane hits for anti-Trump content. Some people built entire careers off of reporting on his tweets. The more shocking and exaggerated they could make the content, the more money came flooding in. That’s why so much of the coverage of Trump was sensationalized and uncharitable. It’s also why moderates couldn’t help but root for him. There’s only so much the established powers that be can lie about someone before you want to support him regardless of his character flaws. It helped that his policies were generally great, focusing on anti-war and populist market adjustments.

  This is why you should always take the news with a grain of salt. They’re all out to make money, and they all have agendas.

    Not to mention the “progressives” reaction to Matt Walsh’s movie “what is a woman?”

      Remember when Velma pissed everyone off equally and there was a brief moment of bipartisan unity? That was fun.

      Matt Walsh’s movie “what is a woman

      I didn’t know who Matt Walsh was, but Googling him these tweets are the first things that popped up. I can see why people react badly to him.

      This is a good time to remember that feminism has killed far more people than the atomic bomb. It is perhaps the most destructive force in human history. Trans ideology, its off shoot, is competing for the title.

      I was already looking forward to watching Oppenheimer but then I saw a bunch of people on Twitter complaining that it mostly features white men and it isn’t inclusive enough and now I’m even more looking forward to watching it

  Shows who they are if they get outraged about a movie like this, but we all know they are always going to be outraged about something.

  Reading comments on this and other topics, kbin is already as low iq as Reddit has become since 2016.

  Locking for now. The discussion here has gone a bit off the rails.

  The outrage machine may be bad, but they make for great unintentional killer posters.
