    Cody should've brought up the fact they tried to say Lady Ballers wasn't anti-trans, it was about how "nobody cares about womens sports!". Then brought up how it eas originally supposed to be a documentary about how "men are infiltrating womens sports by pretending to be women" by they couldn't find ANY examples of that actually happening. Then they tried to find a group of men to pretend to be trans and then try and get on a womans sports team but they couldn't find ANY men who were willing to do the minimum requirements necessary to be considered trans. Which is just *chef's kiss* amazing. They literally proved how much of a made up issue it was, just amazing.

    "I don't care if I offend you" is the most juvenile mentality, not one a grown adult in a society should be proud of. Like, there's "I don't care what you think" and there's, "I'm going out of my way to be rude and hostile for my own entertainment".

      And also get real mad that there's not enough of some other country's flag in that country when he's only poorly cosplaying someone from that country even though the flags are still there. It's in the song. Like, the one actual non-cosplaying Americans sing at the football games. The one without the goalies. Normally I wouldn't have to make that distinction but, and I cannot stress this enough, Norm McDonalds is _not_ American.

    A fun fact that will probably come up in your next video on Ladyballers: Ben Shapirio explicitly admitted ON THEIR OWN SHOW that they tried to make Ladyballers a documentary at first, but they had to resort to making it a fictional movie instead because real life women's sports don't actually let men do that. You have to go through years of HRT and none of their guys were willing to do that. Which means when they made this movie they knew the premise was incorrect. What a shock.

And absolutely transparent.
      Conservatives can go on and on about how your chromosomes and sex are so important. But face a fully XX women with a hormone difference and refuse to believe it could exist. Or if they do say well women with pcos are such a small percent its "woke" to even consider them in statements about women. Bc to them the only women worth considering are skinny ones with perfectly working uterus and ovaries who can bear children and look conventionally attractive doing so.
      *That's not even mentioning how plenty of people with pcos have such a hormonal difference they identify themselves as intersex. I say cis women because I've seen women with beards and pcos who call themselves cis in this position. But pcos absolutely can be an intersex condition. Conservatives lose their mind at the idea of intersexness existing, as though a completely natural way to be born is "woke". When really they're just upset to see anything that doesn't immediately fit in their world view and gave to protest its woke when they get made uncomfortable considering that maybe other people experience different lives than them.

      I mean, there's some truth to this. Hollywood can be insular in ways, and it's very tough to break in without having the right connections, even if you're genuinely talented. The industry is not a pure meritocracy by any means, much like most any other media industry. But there's a difference between being bitter at being rejected while complaining about some potentially valid issues in Hollywood and being bitter at being rejected while making up the dumb idea that Hollywood only rejected them cuz it's too 'leftist' or whatever. I mean, Hollywood has never been more capitalist-driven than it is right now. We're literally coming right off another giant strike because of shitty Hollywood attitudes towards workers. Of course, we all know when right wingers complain about 'politics', they mean entirely culture wars stuff. They've just moved so far right on the social scale that literally any kind of message of acceptance or anything perceived as being such is the 'woke agenda' at work, rather than just acknowledging some basic ass human decency. They're just all awful human beings.

      @@maynardburger true dat. Nepotism and ill-gotten connections are common in Hollywood, and they are more interested in product than art. Even the truly beautiful works have something sinister attached to them (e.g. abuse of animators on Spider-Verse). It also is heartbreaking to see the ones come soooooo close to success eff it up because of some bonehead move (classic example was a colleague who fired the agent that got him a movie deal so he wouldn't have to give up a percentage, and the producers dropped him because of this, thinking he would be too volatile to work with). Beyond the culture war focused on Hollywood, it all feels like part of the Right's unending animosity towards California as a whole. They literally celebrate when people get killed in forest fires or earthquakes as "karma' or "God's wrath", despite the fact that these more often hurt inland/rural conservatives than "coastal elites." I even have by-the-book Orange County Christian conservatives in my family who get maligned by other conservatives simply for their address. California and Hollywood will always be scapegoats because they're shorthand for "tha libz", and the experiences of those who couldn't get their big ideas made are just arrows for the quiver, or in the Right's case, magazines for the assault rifle.

    • @TheNN

      It is also worth noting that Hollywood by it's very nature has always been "woke" in the sense that it's been diverse since it's founding. Entertainment was considered to be a 'lowly' job at the time, it lacked the 'glitz and glammer' we know now. That's why so many singers, actors, filmmakers, etc tended to be from various minority groups for decades, almost exclusively. They were forced into it because rich white assholes didn't want to 'dirty' themselves with a job like 'entertainment' back then. So they basically let Jews, POC, closeted gay men, women (in general) and so on become the faces of entertainment.
      Then the fame and fortune started rolling in. Then those minorities who worked in entertainment were making actual wealth and names for themselves. Movies, music, radio, television (later on) and so on. Then those same rich white assholes who demanded the lowly minorities be their entertainment, then turned around and said, "Oh my god, these people are getting popular! It must be a COMMIE PLOT to undermine the USA!" And that is why Hollywood was so targeted during the Red Scares.
      It's also why Republicans and the anti-woke crowd even now really hate Hollywood and the like. They despise that all these people with diverse traits are making entertainment, because conservative asswipes think they're entitled to control everything and how dare 'those people' have a dissenting opinion. Cuz like everything else with the modern Republican party, it's all projection, it's all bigoty, it's all bullshit and lies to justify them silencing and destroying anyone who doesn't look, think, and act like they do.

Being a man means to grow into your strenghs whatever creative that be. Not pretend.

      Like how katara manages so much and has flaws.
      Terminator 2 is pretty , yeah, its goddamn political , with a badass mom , and commentary on technology.
      I think a lot is that instead letting strong females fail, and really mess up, to come then back to earn the triumph, while having flaws but being more relatable as result. And not alone either nessesary. Everybody needs help.
      Media needs to let like strong female characters or characters that carry that, mess up, be flawed, be human, earn the comeback. Not be boring.
      Also messing up can mean anything, like kim possible is a lot embarassed and looses confidence in highschool, thats a way to fail. you dont need to loose a fight. ore be embarassed.

I was mentioning how cool of an idea it was, the world that they present in it. And he says "What, a world where a guy gets kidnapped?" and I was confused. I said "no, he wasn't really kidnapped, he went to another world, to the future or an alien planet." and he was confused and annoyed at that. "No, it says he met a gang of thieves and they let him go." And I tried to say "but he says 'I wish that I could really tell you all the things that happened to me and all that I have seen," and talks about the cities of light with no fear of war, and how it seems strange to have to lie about it, to 'Keep it Dark,' but that's the story."

      Tom Nicholas has a video about what makes someone *susceptible* to becoming a fascist, apparently at least some studies show that having come to your beliefs uncritically makes you specifically vulnerable to fascism (and presumably other types of propaganda?). I should go back and watch it because it's been a while and it's pretty good but there's definitely something about being uncritical, or even afraid of criticism as some of these weirdos are, and being susceptible to propaganda.

    It's actually pretty easy to discuss the political shortcomings of Barbie. It has a lot, including the ending trying to walk a tight rope between recognizing a problem and being incapable of advocating for radical change, but he's not smart enough or honest enough to actually have that dialog.

    • @Stickarms99
      @Stickarms99 10 месяцев назад +45

      I find it telling that the antagonistic side of the movie, the Kens and their hyper-misogynistic patriarchy, did not hesitate to seize complete control of the government. That once they did, they immediately began enacting radical changes that drastically shifted the very fabric of their society.
      And yet, the side that is supposed to be for progress and opposition to regression, is okay with just being far more passive with their societal changes. Almost indicating that they don't think the way things were before were *that* bad, not bad enough to feel any amount of urgency about making a better and more equal world. They can take their sweet time fixing their imbalanced and unfair matriarchy. They'll get to it, *eventually*, probably. It's not like it's *that* big of an issue.
      To me, it perfectly, unintentionally demonstrates the democratic party in their incompetence at opposing the republican party. One side will not hesitate to seize control and begin enacting far-right, fascist policy when they get the opportunity. But the other side doesn't think that our society's flaws are fatal enough to warrant the same level of radical progressive action. Rather than actively reversing regression, they'd rather opt to just *slow* that regression, and then act like they have the moral high ground. They're afraid of being "too radical" about overhauling our broken system; how are they supposed to "reach across the aisle" and appeal to the fascists and moderate fascists if they actually make any real, material improvements?!
      Progress isn't possible with this kind of passivity. The matriarchy will most likely remain a dominant force in Barbieland for years to come, and it will continue actively hurting both the Kens and Barbies that live there in different ways, but nothing will change for the better because the supposedly "progressive" side is too afraid to put their foot down and take substantial action. It's because of this same passive mindset that America is destined to succumb to a fascist takeover, eventually; unless some serious changes happen within the democratic party itself as we know it, and it turns into a party that decides to stop being passive about progress.
      It's almost comical to me that the creators of Barbie seem explicitly aware of just how dangerously radical the regressive side in this situation is, yet still opt for a message of cookie-cutter liberal establishment democrat "passive progress" bullshit as if that's a viable solution for combatting that regression.
      TLDR: Barbie demonstrates a whole lot of liberal cognitive dissonance, which is pretty frustrating and not based.

      @@Stickarms99Are you sure that’s not the point? I interpreted the ending when the barbies take control as poking fun at the passivity when it comes to progress. I mean the one barbie literally says to the Kens that they one day might even be able to participate politically (said in a funnier quippier manner). They don’t go further than that of course. But the point of the movie and comedy like this is to satirize reality, and of course barbie as a product to be bought and sold, not neccessarily give solutions. That would be a bonus, but it is largely left to the audience. It’s strange to expect the barbie movie to advocate for radical change. It doesn’t mean that there aren’t any criticisms that can be made though. It felt very liberal and safe in parts (throughout the movie not just the ending), but that is to be expected.

      From what I gathered, am I right in my assumption that you want to broach the subject of Echo Chambers by providing alternate videos on the topic to provide a counterpoint to the assumption that Hollywood is not woke?
      On that note, I would also like to mention the problem of 'rainbow capitalism', i.e. the issue that trends tend to be used regardless of how fitting or reasonable they are, just to simply sell more stuff by expanding the consumerbase. That is what I tend to understand under the term 'woke hollywood' - no political, but an economical agenda, which tend to stand in conflict with the narratives. Like, forcibly inserting certain character archetypes for the sole reason to have these present instead of it being partaining to the plot.
      That said, I often see the definition to differ - it seems that some people tend to simply label anything 'woke' that is contra to their viewpoint. So, for example, seeing something represented even if it does NOT clash with the narrative.
      Basically I would like to differentiate between these two points on the example of a black character:
      - forcibly turning a character black even though it does not fit (IIRC there was one where the egyptian queen was casted as a black character, even though egyptian ethnicity is different)
      - having a black character being part of the story without any conflicts with the narrative (i.e. a black policeman, etc.)
      Because it seems hard to criticize the first point without meaning to criticize the second one, since it would soon devolve into allegations of beinga racist or needing to accept all of it to not be one, etc.

    27:00 Brett Cooper's "Hello Fellow Kids" show and Chip Chilla ripping off Bluey reminds me of how evangelical Christians have tried to appeal to "da youth" by just awkwardly aping pop culture without really appreciating or understanding it, and without any passion or creativity of their own.

      I have that condition for the last 4 days cause I'm sick and my brain feels like it became liquid and flows out through my nostrils.
      But it did get worse at that point in the video.

    Not the most egregious part, but Bluey is all about gentle parenting (which conservatives fucking hate!) and its characters have quite leftist values so it’s wild they consider Bluey a conservative show.

      Yeah. Like, you could have a debate about US censorship of things like the episode "Dad Baby" but the core of the show has true co-parenting between Bandit and Chili, with all household responsibilities being shared evenly. That was even part of "Faceytalk" with Stripe wanting to be more active in his own kids development.

      They probably only assume it's conservative because Australian, and the only thing they know about Australia is Rupert Murdoch is from there.

      I *think* I've got my info from Jose's breakdown of Bentkey productions (it's an excellent video by the way, do go watch as a primer before SMN come out with their Part 2 of the Shapiroverse) but I'm not sure. If I remember correctly, Jeremy Boreing claimed that what made Bluey conservative was that the parents are heteronormative and like each other.
      Which...given how often Conservative pundits are seen belittling or dismissing their wives (or being outright abusive; see Steven Crowder's horrible ring camera footage in which he berates his heavily pregnant now ex-wife) is just mind blowing.

    Blown away by the explanation of all the references Robin Williams made in Aladin. It's so many more than I ever would have guessed or recognized. Also, great video overall.

      It is really impressive how fluidly he was able to switch into different impressions.

    I liked Into the Ben Shapiroverse: Part One: The Barbie Wars Episode Four Redemption Of The Dragonsphere 2: 3 better
