    Let me help you reread your exact statement. It's does not lack of comprehension or of a strawman fallacy when you literally say the quiet part out loud.

    Besides, WHAT does any of that have to do with the actual OP Topic about Barbie?
    Threadjack, much? :roflol::bored:
    Anyway, as to the actual OP Topic of:
    Conservatives Predicted Barbie Would Flop. It's About to Make $1 Billion
    Seems like par for the course...
    Recent High-Profile Conservative "Predictions" (those within the last 3 years) have included a Trump Victory in 2020 and Red Tsunami in the 2022 Midterms...
    Just another FAILED "Prediction" to go with an abysmal track record...

    I have zero interest in that movie, but $1B.....that's a surprise for a movie called "Barbie".

    Its curious that the pseudo-cons are putting in so much effort in trying to shape peoples opinions on things like movies and sporting events.

    People are certainly getting tired of people labeling everything they don't like as woke, without actually knowing the definition of woke. Voters are taking note as state GOP orgs are in disarray all over the country.

    Well he has the "There's Something About Mary" hairstyle and looks like he could be Larry Flynt's son so he's got THAT going for him.

    OK, I grudging saw Barbie, it was not my cup of tea but overdosing in pink has never worked for me :D

    I will say this, the concept inspired many girls/women to be whatever they wanted to be, so, it's a winner!

    I said the movie was a fantasy, the details of which have been modified from reality. That doesn’t describe the factual nature of anything outside of that movie as specifically identified.

    Let me know which part you are struggling with and we will go over it together.

    FFS... Barbie is movie is a movie of fantasy. Even if the Sounds of Freedom was embellished... there are emphatic proof that trafficking, and child sex trafficking is a real issue. To say that the Sound of Freedom is the same fantasy, and the same fantasy as a make believe plastic doll coming to like absolutely bullshit. You can try and redirect what you said... but you literally condone the actions of child sex trafficking if you literally say that the movie is "fantasy".

    I said the movie is fantasy. Because it is
    The issues of the movie isn’t — the underlying themes of most movies have a factual basis

    I don’t have to redirect anything because anyone with a ounce of reading comprehension or basic integrity would know when someone is speaking of a specific film the discussion is based only on the film itself and not some overreaching sentiment.

    But you do you.

    wrong again

    people are getting tired of the anti-woke agenda

    anybody else notice rhonda santos has stopped saying "woke" 20 times a day??

    I got news for the woke and the anti woke..

    most people do NOT care about agendas from the right or the left

    why do the Qaloons worry about issues that have NO effect on their lives??

    why does anyone care about a silly movie??

    an advertising algorithm showed a person had millions of followers...the person happened to be a transexual

    AB only cared the person had millions of followers..the end!!

    the Qaloons only cared they person was transexual...most did not care

    most advertising agencies attempt to get their advertising products to as many people as
    possible

    and why do the wokesters bother replying to the issues of the Qaloons ??

    sometimes they dont..

    BUT

    no boycotts from wokesters were taken about a movie that was sponsored by a guy just arrested for child kidnapping..

    I saw the movie,,,it was just another far fetched action movie ,,the hero rescues a girl in the amazon jungle

    I have not seen the Barbie movie ,

    but just like the sound of freedom movie...Both are just movies

    there is not some hidden meaning behind either one


    some people just like controversy..

    I admit it is more fun to object than to agree ..

    it would be much more effective for both sides of the isle to discusss things that actually effect peoples lives.

    culture wars are entertaining,,but not productive

    wokesters and qaloons need to be put on the back burner by the right and the left

    but that won't happen anytime soon

    the democrats can win without the wokesters,,but republicans cannot win without the Qaloons

    there are many many more Qaloons than Wokesters ..

    want proof??

    trump is facing federal indictments and still double digits ahead of a fellow Qaloon in election polling

    and to the Qaloons that say trumps arrest is purely political..I say " SO WHAT ??"

    poltical or not...trump did what he did..he broke the law

    and anybody that cannot see trump for what he is , must be a Qaloon in some form.

    Right! That's why AB lost hundreds of millions of dollars. Jason Aldean went to number one. Parents are speaking out at school board meetings.

    And, WTF does Trump have to do with this topic?...lol

    I can handle the normal political back and forth and even the politicization of some things.

    But over the last couple months watching America argue over two stupid movies has just been mind numbing.

    The people who made the movies however, love it. A whole bunch of free advertising driven by each side claiming movies and then arguing over them for months.

    So qanon puts out press releases?

    Could you point me to that?

    I've not seen a lefty yet who could even tell me what qanon is, where their website is, etc.

    And how many links would you like me to provide of leftists tying sound of freedom to qanon? I just wanna know how many will it take for you to admit you were wrong?

    You spend absurd amounts of time on this site so don't sit there and try to tell me that you're unaware.

    Like I said, could you at least attempt to be truthful? Seriously, just a little bit would be a welcome relief.

    https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-mov...zel-child-trafficking-qanon-movie-1234783837/

    Entire threads were started over this and I bet you posted in them. There are loads of articles like this. If this isn't enough for you then how many would you like?

    My original point is correct and yours was wrong, leftists have done FAR more than just say the movie is bad....

    Seriously, back to the truthful thing....give it a try sometime.

    above is a link you posted ..please read it

    .it clearly states that Qanon claims the movie as its own message against child molesters
    and BTW the hero of the movie is a proven Qaloon in real life ,,just google the name "Caviezel"

    I saw the movie,,it was not a bad action/thriller movie with a dark story,

    oh wait..all action/thriller movies have a dark story ..some even have chainsaw massacres as a plot!! lol

    nobody thinks or believes child abuse is ok...and I am sure there is some truth in the story told in the movie

    but most child abuse happens at the hands of friends and relatives of the children and their parents

    a sponsor of the movie has been jailed for child abuse...will a movie be made about him??

    nobody wants to see a movie about a church going evangelical than molests the children of his congregation

    oh wait ..they had a TV show that did exactly that...19 kids and counting ..starring the Duggars,,

    then one cast member "josh" confessed to molesting 5 girls including his sisters ..

    a few years later he was jailed for possession of child pornography... and in jail this very moment

    I will say this one more time for the conspiracy theorist.

    Sound of freedom and Barbi are just movies ..nothing more nothing less

    The freak out over a movie is just more proof that Trump is now the Queen of the Karens ...
