My producers dragged me to see 'Barbie' and it was one of the most woke movies have ever seen. My ful review of this flaming garbage heap of a film will be out on my YouTube channel tomorrow at 10am ET.
I normally post news on here but this picture is legit hilarious. Mods feel free to delete if not appropriate πΉ
Is he ever happy with anything? Like, I'm not even here to debate his views. He just seems so miserable all the time, as if he can't find any joy in life.
Itβs hos job to be upset. He is happy with the money that he makes from the attention.
What is wrong with this dude? Going to a movie you donβt want to see and taking notes about it so you can complain about it online when you get home. Itβs so pathetic I almost feel bad for him.
Don't feel bad for him, this is how he gets paid. He's a professional asshole.
An asshole who primarily courts right-wingers an inch to the left of Neo-Nazis by making them feel logical and superior for denying basic facts about reality, while the mask-off Neo-Nazis repeatedly send death threats to his family because they're culturally Jewish.
I don't pity him. He dug his hole by choice, and it is a very comfy hole in upper-class Los Angeles where he won't experience the consequences of societal collapse that he encourages poorer right-wingers to spread around. Tough for his kids, I'd imagine, since they'll be growing up in a world with all those oven-fanatic redcaps crawling out of the woodwork that their dad turned a blind eye to for clout.
I remember when he was first becoming "popular" and his whole schtick was "facts don't care about your feelings" and not wanting to get into "identity politics", as a reaction to socially progressive movements and "lefties being triggered"... Till he realised he and his whole fan base live for identity politics and care more about their feelings than facts.
So now, here he is, getting mad at a movie not targeted to him because it triggers his feelings about "patriarchy good, feminism bad"
Yep. He would say it was just for a review, but if you already made your mind up that you wouldn't like it before you went in, it's not a review. He creates dishonest trash, and that's what his (extremely stupid) viewers want. They want everything to conform to the beliefs they already hold, and anything that doesn't is just proof other people are wrong, not them.
Dude's wife is a doctor, his wife, and yet he still thought "wet ass pussy" was referring to a medical condition or something. Dude doesn't even know how basic female anatomy works. And he's fucking married. To a doctor.
This is great news for the Barbie Movie
It was one of the most woke movies I have ever seen
translation: as a straight white dude this is Ben's first experience not being the target audience for something
For reference: that sign is 5β high.
He must've had a growth spurt.
I'm a fifty year old man. Definitely not in the demographic. But I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I took my young adult daughters because we wanted to do barbenheimer together. I loved to messages of family and trying to improve yourself. My daughters obviously connected in a way that I didn't but that's not a problem.
In summary: Ben Shapiro is a twat.
The best thing about Ben Shapiro is that each day I share on this planet with him is one less day I need to coexist with Ben Shapiro.
Well Barbie is an accomplished woman with a bajillion jobs so it's not surprising the movie is "woke". Barbie was "woke" for her time.
I bet they make a fuck ton of money off this movie, once again disproving "go woke go broke"
Woke is here to stay, it's called human rights
"Woke" is the new "politically correct". If you want know what they really mean, just replace the word "woke" with "treating people with respect" or "respectful".
As in, "I hate treating people with respect" or "Hollywood is too respectful nowadays". "When did the world become so respectful?!?"
One thing I've heard is when conservatives use the word "woke", just replace it with "uppity", because once you cut out all the bullshit that's what they mean. To a conservative, everybody has a place in society in that there are people born onto a natural hierarchy. Black people are inferior to white people, poor people are inferior to rich people, etc., and in true Calvinist fashion it doesn't matter what choices people make, there's no action one can take to change their position. Wherever a person happens to be as an accident of birth defines their value. And in that line of thinking, the worst imaginable crime isn't murder or rape or genocide, it's upsetting the little caste system they've imposed upon the world. Woke ultimately means upsetting the caste system. That includes allowing women to have human rights, letting black people attend college, but even also applying the oh so bronze age concept of rule of law to those who commit crimes against someone "lesser than".
Conservatism is literally incompatible with civilized society in the most fundamental sense. Democracy isn't just at stake, it's the entire concept of rule of law. If conservatives had their way, every day would be like The Purge.
Ask them which of the 42 Barbie movies was the first to be woke
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbie_(media_franchise)
It's always funny to ask them stuff they have no idea how to even answer it
This is the epitome of "conservatives" today: unhappy, vengeful, trying to destroy things for other people, and only focused on nonsense culture-war stuff.
It makes me sad. If they just spent a fraction of the effort they use to tear things down to build something worthwhile up instead, we'd be much better off.
What a fragile snowflake.
I zoomed in on the notes. I couldn't make it out completely, but here's what I saw:
Believe it or not, Barbie's feet are a major plot point, there's more than one close-up, lol.
Imagine being outraged and miserable for a living.
I've not even seen the movie, but Jesus fucking Christ.
βSheβs everything. Heβs just Benβ
Dude legit turned up in kids sized Chuck Norris Action Jeans and took notes in a Barbie movie. Took notes in a Barbie movie.
An hour+ long toy ad from a multinational corporation is "woke"... oookie-dookie...
Why even give this a-hole the time of day? We should all just ignore him.
Welp, I wasn't even going to go see Barbie, but now I'll go to watch it just out of spite lol.
Don't forget to mark it not safe for work if you're going to post a picture of a pussy.
He's best left ignored. Every time somebody brings him up or makes fun of him it sustains him. May he be forgotten.
This movie perfectly demonstrated being a dude. All the Kens becoming day drinking degenerates without Barbie around is literally what I did last weekend when my girlfriend went to a wedding.
Fuck. I'm gonna have to go see it now, aren't I?
"My producers forced me to see this even though I own the literal site"
Wow I didn't know Barbie movie was that good.
Anyone else ever notice dweebs always what to tell men how to be men?
He seems like a guy who secretly collect barbie dolls but dont want anyone to know because he thinks he is too tough for dolls.
He paid to see it, and Iβm not going to read his notes. Wins all around except for Ben himself.
Meanwhile I will be wearing my pink "Bad Guy" Vegeta shirt and cracking jokes with my friends AFTER the movie, like a true American.
So.... this is a great endorsement for the film.
I guess he just needed an excuse to watch this movie
Its like the rights whole identity is about being butt hurt about everything.
