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 😹

    What is wrong with this dude? Going to a movie you don’t want to see and taking notes about it so you can complain about it online when you get home. It’s so pathetic I almost feel bad for him.

      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.

    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

      The kind where Ken goes off on a super-badass special forces mission and says “Take a bullet for ya, babe,” as he leaves the house.

    He really shaps my ass. In fact, Shap IS an ass.

    You talkin’ 'bout Shap?
    He’s bad, and a mother-
    No, please, continue.

    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.

        Don’t be sad! There’s people of all political groups and belief systems working hard right this moment to improve things, they are just quiet and don’t draw attention to themselves… Join them and we can literally make the world a better place! 😁

    “She’s everything. He’s just Ben”

    Dude legit turned up in kids sized Chuck Norris Action Jeans and took notes in a Barbie movie. Took notes in a Barbie movie.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    I recommend the episodes of the Behind The Bastards podcast where they read through Ben Shapiro’s novel, they are hilarious.

      They do his novel, his short stories, and excerpts from his books about sex. The episodes are fantastic. The writing is appalling.
