Red flags come in all sizes. A potentially small one is: "I'm not willing to sit through a dumb but harmless movie even though my partner wants to see it."
A bigger red flag would be "I refuse to see The Barbie Movie because it's woke!!!!!"
Well, there's a certain subset of loud, gullible cretins out there that apply the following tests to see if something is "woke" and they should hate it:
Does it espouse or support anything that's not hardcore, regressive social "conservatism"? E.g "LGBT people exist" or "sexism is bad."
Do "the libs" (real or imaginary) like it?
If the answer to any of those 2 questions is "yes": the thing in question is "woke". The Barbie Movie is 2 yeses ... so apparently it's "extra woke".
Refusing to see a movie their partner wants to see with them is a sensible red flag. I think it would be higher if it was phrased generally rather than specifically about Barbie.
If they're being a dick about it, yes. But surely there's things that people in a relationship do by themselves or with friends. Couldn't seeing a movie that your partner doesn't want to be one of them?
So being enthusiastic to see the Barbie movie is a red flag for you. That doesn't make sense to me, but hey, I hope you find love in someone that shares your movie preferences.
No, that is not what I said at all. Some movies have people working on them who are, very loudly, spreading dangerous things that are doing very real harm to individuals and society as a whole …things like Q. I would rather not spend money supporting them.
I hope you’re able to see the difference between the two things. Cheers.
Right? It's a super fun and very funny movie. Knee jerk reactions to a movie about Barbie tells you all you need to know about where the person gets all their opinions fed to them from
You should go to the theater to see that movie (which I've never heard of and thus am not promoting) with your girlfriend 3 more times, that'll show 'em!
