Ruby Bridges is 68. This is not ancient history. Not even close.
I know Ruby. She’s a really nice person. The idea that they would try and write what she did as a girl out of history is shocking to me on so many levels, the simplest of which is just, but don’t they know how lovely she is?
So I just found out that my local theater is actually doing a special presentation of Barbie (2023) today and I’m gonna go to that, and you can’t buy the tickets online so I’m gonna there so fucking early just to be sure I get a ticket, getting ready to put the old barbie bedsheets turned to handmade dress as we speak
I have the word BarbieTM on my left ass cheek and between my legs/on my pussy LET’S FUCKING GOOOOO
Im going to the earliest showing today and I’m a full hour in advance, I’m only on the bus on the way to my Movie theater and I’m already seeing girls/people dressed in pink from head to toes, I love it here
I feel like the person at the ticket booth shouldn’t even ask me what Movie I want to see, I literally have the word Barbie on my pussy but at the same time wouldn’t fucking be hilarious if with a full ass barbie dress, pink bandana and pink heart earrings they ask me what Movie and I answered Oppenheimer
Was buying myself a slush and the 2 people next to me in the line were like “I think we are all going to see barbie” with so much confidence like
Here’s my review : I’ve seen God and her name is Barbie
gonna start saying “you couldn’t make x movie today” but for reasons unrelated to political correctness
you couldn’t make Home Alone 2: Lost in New York today because the strict airport regulations put into place after 9/11 make it nigh impossible for a child to simply walk onto the wrong plane
You couldn’t make American psycho today because Christian Bale would actually kill Jared Leto for real
I remember someone saying “mad scientists in fiction aren’t scientists because there’s never a control group”
I think if you’ve created an elixir that turns people into goat men you have sort have gone past the need for a control group. The control group is not going to placebo themselves into goat men. You can probably not run the control group, and safely assume that none of them would have turned into goat men. That said, having a control group for that would make the mad scientist seem extra crazy and be really really funny, especially if he was carefully testing them for goat like features from the dyed water they drank instead of the elixir

#the real question is why arent any of them running it double blind #what if those guys are just turning into goatmen bc they know the mad scientists reeeeaaaaallly want them to
#it’s also a question of sample size #if you turn one person into a goatman you might THINK you have an elixir that turns someone into a goatman #but make that a 75 person trial and suddenly you realize it’s an elixir that turns you into your ideal body #and that one person was just a guy with a fursona and a dream
I’d best be seeing that anti JKR energy for this twilight show too bc Smeyer continuing to profit off the Quileute tribe is not cute
I keep seeing people on Twitter being all “I’m sure they’ll be more respectful and mindful of the Quileute tribe this time around.”
Except, they won’t be. Even if they get actual Native American actors to play these characters, even if they bring on a Native American to serve as a cultural advisor, it wont matter. Why? Because Smeyer appropriated a real Native American tribe and twisted their culture and history in her fantasy books for her own profit.
This fictional Quileute Tribe is and always will be disrespectful to the real life Quileute tribe.
The Quileute Tribe is still taking donations to move out of the immediate tsunami zone as of April 2023. Instead of directing attention to this TV series if/when comes out (and even if it doesn’t honestly), please consider supporting the tribe financially here if you can afford it.
Even going outside the context of the barbie movie, it is truly incredible that they could write that last part and try to frame it as a bad thing
it really is so hard to parody this because this article is actually framing “Living your life and being comfortable with how you present yourself” as a negative political agenda
