Arsenic Lupin posted:I'm baffled by the reading that Gloria's husband is a loser. All we know about him is that he's trying to learn Spanish to bond with his wife and kid, but he's really bad at it (witness his being pleased to defeat Duolingo). It seemed sweet to me: do something you're bad at, but keep trying because it's important. The two things we immediately find out about him are that he is independent and capable (wife says “he’ll be fine” when questioned about her leaving for an indefinite amount of time) and that he is attempting self improvement (learning a second(?) language). Dude is a role model.

The dance number is them realizing that fighting amongst themselves is stupid because they are all Ken. He still hasn’t learned the lesson of what “Ken” is independently of Barbie

I mean also it's obviously not even supposed to just represent whatever random acoustic guitar song that douchey guys play*, the lyrical content is also very important here. "I want to push you around...I want to take you for granted..." etc. The Kens (and by extension Gloria) have presumably misunderstood the point of the song, but from their POV they are expressing this desire to do the same things to the Barbies that they feel were done to them (being controlling/manipulative toward them and taking them for granted). * really they should have just reused the awesome Wings joke from Role Models here

tokin opposition posted:I mean sure, I just find it funny how many posts on the topic start with "Im a cis guy and I think..." I mean there were certainly two on this page for sure, it didn't really start happening until after your "limbo" post tho. I think most people just find your posts baffling, they don't really seem reflective of what's going on in this thread aside from the self fulfilling prophecy of calling cis people silly idiots which obviously baits them into acting like silly idiots (which is a funny troll tbf)
