Greta Gerwig’s Barbie film has made waves at the box office, setting multiple records; however, it hasn’t been without its share of criticism. Some have raised concerns about perceived anti-male feminism in the movie.
Marc Maron praised the comedy aspects that were inspired by men in the movie. However, Barbie faced criticism from conservative figures upon its theatrical release. Podcaster Matt Walsh labeled it as “the most aggressively anti-man, feminist propaganda fest ever put to film.”
Additionally, Ben Shapiro’s viral video on social media showed him setting Barbie dolls on fire with a barbecue lighter as he expressed his disapproval of the movie. These reactions highlight the polarising nature of the film’s themes and the varying perspectives it elicited from different audiences.
Marc Maron dragged men who are criticizing Barbie, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as leads, for being “woke.” The comedian blasted “certain men” who could not digest the hit film in a scathing rant on TikTok.
Ben Shapiro Faces Online Backlash for Hate-Watching Barbie
Polarising conservative commentator Ben Shapiro strongly disliked the movie Barbie featuring Margot Robbie. He expressed his disdain in a 43-minute video review, where he even filmed himself burning Barbie dolls in protest. However, instead of receiving support, Shapiro faced criticism from the online community.
Shapiro tweeted on the day of the movie’s premiere that he had watched it and would soon upload a scathing review. He referred to the film as “one of the most woke movies I have ever seen,” indicating his disappointment. He also mentioned that his full review would be available on his YouTube channel the following day at 10 am ET.
Online users quickly mocked Shapiro when a photo emerged of him at the movie premiere wearing an outfit similar to the one worn by Ryan Gosling as Ken in a musical performance.
Marc Maron Criticises Outrage from Conservative Figures
In a recent TikTok video, Marc Maron shared his enthusiastic praise for Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, calling it a remarkable masterpiece. He mentioned that the film cleverly appeals to a wide audience, primarily women, while also incorporating progressive politics and basic feminism in a funny and well-executed manner. He expressed that it’s a groundbreaking and radical work, unlike anything he has seen before.
“Any dude that can’t take those hits in that movie, they’ve really got to look in their pants and decide what they’re made of. I mean, Jesus Christ, what a bunch of f-cking insecure babies.” exclaimed Maron.
Maron criticized conservative figures who expressed outrage over the film’s jokes aimed at men and the patriarchy. He described their reactions as grift and found it embarrassing, suggesting that those who couldn’t handle the movie’s humor should reflect on their own insecurities.
