I do find it interesting how people are acting like something being nominated and something winning are the same thing. "'What Was I Made For' was nominated, what's your problem?"

Uh huh. And "I'm Just Ken" WON. That is in fact not ending the discussion about how the men's song from an entry level American feminism film was the WINNING SONG (ie: it was chosen over the also nominated women's song) out of the nominated songs selected from the entry-level feminism film. Yeah, the women's song was nominated alongside, and they still chose the men's one. That's the problem.

Ugh, I don't even know how to express my thoughts about this, so here is a disjointed bullet point list

the I'm Just Ken scene, in terms of choreography, cultural references, acting, music, and general aethetics is an absolutely beautiful masterpiece and was the part of hte movie that captivated me the most and this is IN LARGE PART the effect of a WOMAN'S vision and execution

The other scene that has this level of just absolutely on point aesthetics is the opening scene which has basically no emotional impact, so I guess it makes sense to me that they would go with I'm Just Ken instead of Pink

The actual politics and themes of this movie are an insane labyrinth of various aspects to consider. What I feel the movie brings to the table with no "but"s and "well"s and "excepts that"s is the fact that girl culture and femme culture had a huge mainstream presence around this movie. Rather than straight cis women excitedly dressing up to go to a superhero movie, we had straight cis men excitedly dressing up to go to a Barbie movie. Like when has this ever happened?

The movie is really about the aesthetics of the thing, the vibe of the thing, the emotion of the thing. Pink and I'm Just Ken get at that best. See previous points about why I'm Just Ken would get a leg up over Pink.

Can we criticize the people who created this movie for putting so much into the Song About a Guy? I guess? But again, I don't think this movie really stands up to like a philosophical feminist lens. It is a feelings and aesthetics kind of fmeinism. Which is great! But also then we maybe should just let it be feelings and aesthetics.

I agree that it's weird how many people ignore Greta Gerwig's major contributions to the "I'm Just Ken" scene and that Barbie (2023) was still a cultural moment for women and girls.

However, I strongly disagree that Barbie (2023) is just "feelings and aesthetics". It reminds me of how women are frequently dismissed as all about emotions and appearances while men are associated with logic, science, and objectivity. Greta Gerwig has quite a lot to say about politics and feminism in the movie she directed and co-wrote. It's fine to disagree with what she says or how she presents it, but I dislike when people imply her work is shallow or oversimplified.

I think America Ferrera said it best when she said:

"We can know things and still need to hear them out loud. It can still be a cathartic. There are a lot of people who need Feminism 101, whole generations of girls who are just coming up now and who don’t have words for the culture that they’re being raised in. Also, boys and men who may have never spent any time thinking about feminist theory. If you are well-versed in feminism, then it might seem like an oversimplification, but there are entire countries that banned this film for a reason. To say that something that is maybe foundational, or, in some people’s view, basic feminism isn’t needed is an oversimplification. Assuming that everybody is on the same level of knowing and understanding the experience of womanhood is an oversimplification."

I’ve already seen my fair share of jokes about this, but I genuinely cannot think of anything which would make a middle school class harder to control than a beloved teacher seen being brought into a creepy black car and just falling off of the face of the Earth for months.

Stratt will not be able to be within twenty miles of that school ever again, lest she get recognized by someone, and I headcanon that the kids gave her the name ‘Carmen Santiago’ while trying to figure out what the heck happened.

Normal groceries like milk or bread or whatever running out is whatever. Just anotha day. But when stuff like salt or cooking oil or rice runs out it feels like You’re supposed to be here for me and you’re leaving. You’re just like everyone else

there are definitely many friendship/social interaction things that are cross-species and instinctual in any organism that has enough intelligence to be a little twat. so grace gets annoyed during an argument and does a mocking impression of rocky's voice, gets more irritated realising that he has to now explain it for it to work, only for rocky to slam a fist on the ground and do a deeply disharmonic, two-octaves-down imitation of grace's speaking voice. and it takes grace so far out of the argument that he has to concentrate on not laughing and getting himself killed. anyways they do this back and forth for 30 minutes until its just two dogs barking at each other either side of a fence.
