well what the fuck.

The thing is I DO consider men who hate the Barbie movie and think it was unfair to men a red flag, because Ken is treated SO sympathetically even though what he does is pretty damn bad. His hurt feelings are validated, his self-worth and healing are encouraged, he's basically immediately forgiven, and Barbie even apologizes for neglecting him and taking him for granted.
And I gotta wonder if what the manosphere really doesn't like is that Ken doesn't get what he originally wanted in the end. Ken's story isn't resolved by Barbie realizing that actually, she's been in love with him all along. She hasn't been, and she doesn't change her mind.
Instead, Ken's story is resolved by realizing that he isn't defined by how Barbie feels about him, and that he is enough (or "Kenough") on his own. He gets forgiveness, support, and validation, but he does NOT get the girl in the end. The girl has her own, separate journey and resolution that has nothing to do with him. And that's GOOD.
But it isn't surprising at all to me that it didn't go over well with a crowd that defines themselves almost entirely by their ability--or lack thereof--to possess and control women.
