Everyone else is probably healthy or vaccinated or probably both. Unless you're immunocompromised or symptomatic (and if you are, stay the gently caress home) there's not much benefit to wearing a mask these days if you're just out and about (excluding the obvious like hospital visits or the airport).

In a group that large there is no way only one person is carrying something gross, and the expectation is that the Centre for Disease Control would know about controlling diseases.

Being balls deep in vax helps a lot but you bet I'm still wearing a mask when I get the bad sniffles. The only reason I don't normally is because I work on a university campus where no one else is, so if the gross isn't coming out of my mouth it's coming out of someone.

Either way, CDC getting together for a group hug is the idiot.

No. I never saw Barbie. I haven't seen any movies in years. The idea of paying attention to one single thing for 90+ minutes feels like torture to me at this point. I have to break TNG reruns into two sessions. Edit: Oh actually I saw one kinda recently where Denzel is like, an old man that takes revenge on bad people. It kinda strained credulity that a 65 year old would be able to karate so many people that easily. But yeah I'm not a movie guy.

'Accusing' indicates I think it's bad. Tokin has openly identified as such itt. I'm not sure if I'm a communist or an anarchist because I can't sit still long enough to read any of the books that would help me decide that, but I'm not anti-communist or anything.

I like Barbie but I thought that it was constrained by being a Barbie movie and wasn't able to go as far in its message as it should have. The feminist message felt very basic, almost retro and has been done many times before. Lisa Vs Malibu Stacey has the same essential "message" but does it in 25 minutes.

The Barbie world being presented as "perfect" raises quite a few questions IMO. Why is the prefect world completely sexless? If they don't have genitals in Barbie world then why are they all in heterosexual relationships? Why are they in relationships at all when most of them seem to not even know what it means? It's very odd.

Why was the Mattel boardroom even in the movie? They have a few good jokes but the first joke is that they're all men and making decisions for women, but by the end they're... Still a bunch of men making decisions for women and haven't changed or grown or learned anything from their storyline.

While it was a fun movie, I think it being an adaptation of a toyline kept it from being as good as it could have been.

Because that's how they are presented by the marketing department - Barbie and Ken are portrayed as a heterosexual relationship despite having no sexual characteristics, so they playact a heterosexual relationship but do not understand the point of it. The Barbie World and the Real World influence each other - a change to one affects the other, so if some executive decides that Barbie and Ken are canonically a couple, then they are even if they are aware that it doesn't make sense.

Yeah, if you get down to it this is what actually annoyed me most as ~the barbie movie~ - it was sold as some subversive genius feminism that would wokify schoolchildren into hating america, and the actual movie are out of date, extremely basic, and something dozens of other works have done better - and people's hostility to pointing out the many places it fails at even 1990's era feminist analysis, let alone the hyperadvanced space feminism of the current day, only makes it more annoying. Don't cum in my cereal and call it vegan milk substitute.

The Barbie people exist as a psychic gestalt who manifest the dreams and anxieties of the children who play with the toys their avatars represent. The heteronormativity is just an extension of the perception of gender a little kid has, which is why it's so sexless.

And even still, outliers exist there-Magic Earring Ken, Sugar Daddy Ken and Alan for example.

The responses make me fear we are pretty much looping right back to warehousing the disabled so they don't make us uncomfortable with their existence. It's very similar to the mockery that woman got who was almost beaten to death by a student because she didn't want him to spend the rest of his life in prison for attacking her.
