Three facts:

1) I havent seen the barbie move

2) My feed is filled with people claiming white middle age men are outraged by the movie

3) I havent seen a single white middle aged man in my feed mention the movie even once.

"1) I havent seen the barbie move"

@freemo @mc

I think every new release out of Hollywood now has a marketing budget item that says, "Faux Controversy".

@mc

>"What controversy? 😉"

Isn't it controversial that Hollywood uses fake controversies to market their films? :ablobthinking:

@freemo

@Pat @freemo
Is that recursive recursive logic? Or a gambit? Because it's making me nervous. 😅

@mc @freemo

I'm a sucker for anything that's self-referential because it so often leads to a paradox.🙂

@freemo
Now I'm outraged about the lack of outrage. I'm also middle-aged and white, so there's that.

@IAmErik I was outraged that there was outrage over outrage when in fact there is a lack of outrage, but now that you are outraged I am outraged that you are outraged when there should be a lack of outrage!

@freemo I'd watch it, I just haven't had occasion to do so. My wife avoids crowds as it triggers panic and anxiety for her. I'm "curious," but not enough to particularly care to go see it.
