I think this is the right assessment. Inspirational to evil people, and a dire warning to the innocent.
My fiancé saw it without any idea of the creators, actors, or their beliefs. And she thought the movie was hilarious, and was intended as a satire of the hardcore Rad-Fem types with how Barbie was treating Ken.
And from what I have been seeing, that is what a lot of normies are taking away from it.
I'm starting to think that LotusEaters might be right that this was actually a massive self-own, a la: Starship Troopers.
I would believe it. She actually liked Ken more than Barbie, because she thought he was funnier. And I have been seeing a lot more memes of Ken and how based he is even in more normie-aligned areas. It almost certainly got the Starship Troopers treatment, where their sincerely held beliefs are so outlandish and alien to the average person it comes off as a joke.
And since people think is a joke, they interact with it as a joke, which leaves them open to thinking maybe Ken was the one who was right.
