I'm not going to ravage you, but I am going to point out you seem to have a conceptualization of the term "woke" that's likely much narrower than how Republicans seem to use it. Being (and acting) self-aware is itself "woke" if you listen to how some of them use the term, which would make Barbie super woke
Woke is when someone on the left. Feminist are at least generally associated with the left, therefore woke.
Well the term go woke go broke originated from them and thats the context it seems to me is being used on here. And i find it to be the most used one when criticising media. And you are right that my definition of it is diferent from the one some of yah have. And yours is valid i guess. But i stand by the fact that it doesnt sacrifice quality for the sake of a shoehorned message ( while not being shoehorned in this case).
I unironically call things woke, and have a problem with "woke" movies, and am usually in 100% agreement with the conservative take on this matter. They're just wrong about Barbie. Barbie isn't a woke movie. Most of them are getting that "Barbie is woke" because it does a battle of the sexes thing, and it really kicks ken while he's down (but gives him a satisfying resolution at the end). But since most of these people haven't seen the film, they're really just listening to some braindead takes by commenters and political figures. Like they're seriously unironically taking the 2001 space odyssey parody scene as "anti-mothers" when literally the whole core message of the movie was pro-motherhood. They're just wrong.
Was gonna say bassed until the motherhood part... what dou you mean by that? I dont understeand, im being genuine about this, i wanna hear ya m8.
one of the core themes and messages of the movie is that motherhood is good actually, despite being shunned by feminists.
That whas absolutelly nowere in the movie, not even with the mother and daughter characters. Dont know where you got that idea. So last part is not based
Don’t bother trying to explain that to this particular person. They think pro-choice is advocating for up until the moment of birth abortions.
This is a very unstable person and is absolutely projecting their own beliefs to cope.
The entire mother-daughter story arc, the mattel ending, barbie's ending, it's pretty much one of the core messages of the movie lol.
Nope
Did you watch the movie? Literally the whole ending sequence was about how great motherhood is.
No ofence but i think you are proyecting your own believes on it. Do you mean the ginecologist scene or the one where she meets her maker? If you watch those scenes out of context then you could make a case if you really stretch it out. But the end is about how meaningless the political fight really is on a personal level. Life goes on, notting really changes or gets better and you still need to find meaning and going to the gynecologist is presented more as a middle finger to reality rather than barbie being pregnant if thats how you interpreted it. At least in my opinion.

Why do you have a problem with "woke" movies when you could just choose not to see them? Sounds exhausting
First, I do avoid them when I spot them. However, in many cases they take a beloved classic and then turn it woke. I have a problem because had they not pushed the woke stuff into it, it would've been a continuation or remake of a beloved classic. Instead it gets turned into garbage.
