Taking a man to see Barbie is like taking a black person to see Birth of a Nation. Except no, Birth of a Nation is actually more nuanced, because it doesn't have multiple monologues about victimhood and how everything bad is everyone else's fault.
Well, I assume anyway. I've never seen it. But I can't really see a modern-style oppression wank monologue in a movie made that long ago.
There's barely any world building to speak of after the first few episodes, save for a fairly cool moment much later on. You just have to treat it like any other animated sitcom where the status quo is God and the point is simply to be funny.
Okay, to what end? A person with only a brain stem is basically a plant. A plant that has multiple seizures a day. No thoughts, no personality, no possibility of ever doing anything but lay there, ever, no matter what. Is allowing that sort of existence to persist for nine years a good thing? I'd argue it is not.
I don't know what you mean by "a diagnostic issue". Anencephaly or iniencephaly are not curable or treatable no matter how early you diagnose it. I'm not talking about relatively minor issues like spina bifida or encephalocele.
I was still a teenager when it first came out so my opinion is probably a bit biased, but it's one of my favorite shows of all time. Maybe even my favorite.
I'm sure if I went back and rewatched it all I'd find plenty of moments embarrassingly dated, but it has so many great moments I don't think even removing my nostalgia glasses can hurt it too much.
My expectations are currently in a suicide booth set to "slow and painful". If, by some miracle, they don't fuck everything up and I hear reports that the show is halfway decent, I will let them out. But I've already paid the quarter.
There are plenty of birth defects that have no chance of ever being cured, no matter how Star Trek things get. Neural tube defects that prevent the brain from developing properly, for example. If a baby is born without most of its brain, it's going to live, at most, a couple years of constant misery that it's not conscious enough to even comprehend. There is no curing that.

Live by the sword, die by the sword, you pathetic loser.
This one. The defining trait of the NPC is that it responds to new information with anger or fear.
Every "news" outlet and opinion writer for the past two months: "This movie is a bold clap back at the patriarchy and it's a queer anthem for marginalized trans bodies of color yaaaaaas Barbie's message is soooo important"
Conservatives: "Sounds pretty woke."
The Mentally Feeble: "LOOOOOL IT'S LITERALLY JUST PLASTIC DOLLS LOOKS LIKE THE SNOWFLAKES ARE TRIGGERED AGAIN LMAO LMFAOOOOOO"
First punchline: Bland humor from a 16 year old pseud. But still humor.
Second punchline: Reddit-tier overdoing the joke. No matter how funny the joke was, it no longer is.
Third punchline: It is now clear there was never a joke; the entire thing is just seething disguised as comedy.
Kind of like Man In The High Castle. It basically said that if the axis had won and oppressed everyone who isn't white or Japanese, we'd end up with a clean, crime-free utopia that has technology and luxury decades ahead of its time. And the lesson we're supposed to take away from this is "it's a good thing the allies won".
A glimpse into the mind of a leftist can be as fascinating as it is confusing.
I don't disagree to be honest. I don't know if I'd have been quite so blunt, but cutesy nicknames don't really help our cause. Yes, I know, optics don't matter when you've already been unpersoned, but it makes it easier for normies to make the wrong decision when one side has a fake veneer of professionalism and the other is engaging in coy wordplay.
Remember: normies are stupid. Anything that can spook them is to be avoided. They're herd animals at heart and have to be treated as such.
All professional sports are inherently anti white at this point. Every team, every league, every owner, every division. They all hate you. Stop giving them money.
I should note that I wasn't playing on "hard", I was playing on whatever the hardest non-permadeath one was called. Nightmare, I think? But I can absolutely see most people finding anything above normal to be overwhelming.

Doom and Doom Eternal were actually pretty on the nose about the demons being an analog for replacement migration. I'm honestly surprised it didn't become a huge controversy. Here are some examples:
My brothers and sisters, let's help to make our friends' [referring to demons] transition into their new world a comfortable one.
Earth is the melting pot of the universe.
Do not run from our mortally challenged guests. Be a good host to our new friends.
See new sights. Make new friends. Soar to new heights. Join the official mortally-challenged visitor welcoming committee, today!
It's so obvious it borders on badly written. I do appreciate the message though.
No, Eternal is just stupidly difficult. Honestly it's to the point where it's just not fun on the hardest difficulty after a certain enemy gets introduced, and that's coming from someone who always sets the difficulty in every action game to maximum. It's weird, because I beat Doom at the highest difficulty and it felt just fine. Hard but beatable.
I've noticed that the old "the highest difficulty is for masochists only" trend of the 90s is becoming a thing again. Horizon Forbidden West did the same thing. The highest difficulty level was a slog, and in fact made doing some of the trials the intended way impossible because the enemy health scaled so high. Zero Dawn, on the other hand, was perfectly balanced at its highest setting.
It almost seems like a false flag designed to make gays look like humorless lunatics. I say "almost" because there are ten million Twitter users with pride flags in their bio who would absolutely convince themselves that this is somehow funny.
Though there is some evidence to suggest a link between these environmental exposures and male fertility, irrefutable evidence linking these everyday toxins to the known male fertility decline is elusive.
What about Godot is specifically better than Unity? Unity is a goddamn mess and I really don't enjoy using it, but it's also one of two engines you're ever going to find employment with so I put up with it. I'm aware of Godot but I don't really know anything specific about it.
I'm roughly your age and just got into game development very recently. It's a lot of learning just to get started and you won't be selling anything for two years minimum, but if you're confident in your ability to recognize that makes a game fun, it's worthwhile even just as a hobby.
Just remember to know your limits. Start with Pong and work your way up.
C is infested with trannies because it's the language of choice of autists, and the autistic coder to tranny pipeline is booming these days.
The only safe choice is a language nobody cares about like R or Dart or Elixir. They're too obscure for the cult to bother with subverting.
Poison in the environment has dropped sperm levels by 60% in just 40 years:
I think this is cope. Sperm counts have dropped because men have become fat and sedentary. Both of these things are directly correlated with low fertility and T levels. We've known this for centuries, if not millennia.
It's the same reason women are having such a hard time carrying to term. They blame it on a mysterious outbreak of "PCOS", which is just a polite way of saying you're so fat your ovaries are falling apart.
If you're fit and regularly exercise and still have low sperm counts, sure, blame microplastics. But I'd bet 99% of people with idiopathic fertility problems are at least 60 pounds overweight.
That's such a bizarre edge case that I'm pretty sure they'd have to come up with a new law just to address it. If that were to happen we'd probably call the cops, tell them about it, then put the money back. From there it's up to a judge to decide if what they did was illegal. If they didn't use any threatening language at all, probably not.
This just in: Western women are stupid and will give money to anything that tells them how special and wonderful and perfect they are
