Nah.3) Finally if Gwen's character is supposed to relate to the real world - where there are serious mental and physical considerations in order to try to change from a man to a woman - then you'll have to look elsewhere for a trans character.
“It was ‘I am going to kill you’ written in a very deliberate way in a long letter and followed by obsessive emails,” said Gloninger. His critic demanded that he “go the hell back to where you came from DOUCHEBAG!!!” and demanded “what’s your home address, we conservative Iowans would like to give you an Iowan welcome you will never forget.” The emails attacked Gloninger for pushing a “liberal conspiracy theory on the weather”, calling climate change a “Biden hoax”.
Dunno. I always had the impression that Barbie was a very conservative, normative toy. The ideal stepford wife model. the pink toy for the girls, the look-how-blonde-you-should-be, etc. I suspect they are right to consider that film a betrayal. But again, I haven't seen it, I just have positive expectations from some indirect hints and descriptions.Imagine being so fragile that Barbie having Gender Themes feels like betrayal. Like, I get that hard-core Christians have a parallel economy going on, but Barbie started with gender themes.
I mean, I get the desire for it to be unassailable canon. Bridget Guilty Gear still has people saying she isn't actually/shouldn't be transgender despite her turning to the camera and saying she's a girl, followed by the devs turning to the camera saying she's a girl, based entirely on the fact that her old lore didn't say she was transgender and her announcement didn't spoil her arcade story. Some people are just thick like that
Veering into hot take territory, I firmly believe that the current inability to have any ambiguity without controversy and there needing to be a strict canon at all times is down to test based educational policies (No Child Left Behind) where there can be only one correct answer, and Cinamasins style "criticism" becoming popular. The movie can only have One Correct Interpretation and anything else is just a fan theory lest it get a ding and be considered a plot hole
They're full of hate for a world that refuses to allow them their fantasies. "We can do whatever we want to the world and everything will be okay because God loves only us and made this world for us to exploit."Republicans = lethal imbeciles. Not much else to say.
It's new age evangelical death cult stuff. If *I'd* thought god had given me dominion over something, I'd probably try to show I could do a good job with it by not burning it to the ground. Like, I'd try to make it the best version of itself, you know?They're full of hate for a world that refuses to allow them their fantasies. "We can do whatever we want to the world and everything will be okay because God loves only us and made this world for us to exploit."
Oh they're pretty open about it too.Remember when weirdos said that Disney was buying tickets to the "woke" MCU movies to artificially inflate the box office?
Anyway
Oh also it's a "non-profit" which are supposed to be apolitical to receive tax free status, and, well, they're anything but.As VICE News has previously reported, a number of OUR’s claims about its work are dramatically overstated or without clear documentary evidence. People who have volunteered for OUR have raised concerns that it could actually have been creating demand for trafficking victims, by going to foreign countries on undercover “missions” that, at times, have seemed to consist of walking around bars and sex clubs asking for underage girls. The organization's support for law enforcement has at times been wildly exaggerated and involved OUR taking credit for agencies’ operations after making relatively trivial donations, and its much-touted aftercare program for survivors has at times involved things like placing women with unqualified providers and even fabricating a college graduation ceremony.
In another story uncovered by VICE News, OUR heavily marketed its role in the rescue of “Liliana,” a young trafficking survivor, with Ballard telling a fanciful story about this rescue in Congressional testimony and in op-eds and media appearances in which he called for a border wall. She in fact rescued herself, and did not meet OUR representatives until years after she’d done so, when she was preparing to testify against her traffickers in court. The organization led a bizarre, blundering attempted rescue on the Haiti-Dominican Republic border based on intelligence sourced from a Utah psychic medium. (The same psychic went on to work as an executive director for an OUR-backed group, an adoption grant organization called Children Need Families, founded by Ballard’s wife Katherine.) Meanwhile, OUR’s sister organization the Nazarene Fund, founded by right-wing media personality Glenn Beck, claimed without a lot of direct evidence to have evacuated endangered people from minority religious groups out of Afghanistan during the chaotic period after the U.S. withdrawal from the country. And in a more minor, and weirder, incident, Ballard recently claimed that OUR was “collaborating” with American Airlines, which was also not true in the sense that most people would understand it; the organization bought an ad with a third-party service that airs programming on some American flights.
These incidents, and many others, added up to a pattern of misrepresentation and exaggeration that even some OUR “operators”—the men who went on purported rescue missions in other countries—told VICE they found disturbing and misleading.
At an August 2019 meeting, Tim Ballard laid out his vision for the future. On a whiteboard, a diagram showed how he’d build his empire as a public speaker, anti- trafficking advocate, and proselytizer for his Mormon faith. “Take sizzle of the Rescue,” it read, amid a thicket of arrows connecting his for-profit and nonprofit entities to one another. “Lead them to the Covenant.”
Because even fucking Moviebob in the past admitted there was a growing new industry in hollywood for PR companies who claimed to specialise in "Managing fan reaction online" and many of these did it by along with being some of the most awful toxic trolls they spent chunks of the PR budget buying out cinemas and then posting about how x film had sold out the cinema.Remember when weirdos said that Disney was buying tickets to the "woke" MCU movies to artificially inflate the box office?

This is like being bewildered that Jews might object to blood libel propaganda.It's fucking weird to me too how one side seem so angry and against a film that is about a series issues like child exploitation and trafficking. What are they doing it the wrong way because Captain America doesn't burst through the fucking wall or something now?
You are correct: it *is* about serious issues like child exploitation and trafficking. And it's fucking it up by pushing Qanon bullshitThis isn't "You hate America if you don't go see American Sniper." Nor is it "You're a racist who hates black people if you don't go see Selma."

It would be really cool if Qanon got rid of sex trafficking. Unfortunately, they are too far up to their own asses to actually find evidence and just make up nonsense to make themselves feel better.You are correct: it *is* about serious issues like child exploitation and trafficking.

You know how you get cranky at 'woke'.

The difference with Sound of Freedom?
They're not hiding it
It's literally a film that's 1/10th or less of the size of big studio films doing this so I am not going to be mad about a smaller studio trying to do this.
This isn't "You hate America if you don't go see American Sniper." Nor is it "You're a racist who hates black people if you don't go see Selma."

After facing allegations that AMC, in an apparent bid to…not make money?… had disrupted showtimes, canceled screenings, and even deliberately broken its own air conditioners to drive people away from the movie, the chain’s CEO, Adam Aron, issued a statement this week on Twitter. Aron wrote that “Sadly, conspiracy theorists are so prevalent in America. So much garbage information is spread. More than ONE MILLION people have watched Sound Of Freedom at AMC Theatres. More than at any other theatre chain on the planet. Yet people falsely claim otherwise. It is so bizarre.”
Angel Studios issued its own statement in an effort to convince people that, at least in this one particular case, their paranoid instincts about shadowy cabals arrayed against them were not actually correct, writing that “AMC has been an outstanding partner for Angel Studios.” Studio exec Brandon Purdie also tacitly asked fans to not be, y’know, psychopaths, writing that, “We ask that anyone attending a screening of Sound Of Freedom show kindness to their local theater staff.”
‘Sound of Freedom’ Is an Anti-Child Trafficking Fantasy Fit for QAnon
Star Jim Caviezel, who plays real-life anti-trafficking activist Tim Ballard, has been talking about adrenochrome and organ harvesting on his press tour.jezebel.com
The 40-year-old broadcaster and self-styled voice against ‘woke’ culture – whose show Dan Wootton Tonight is the biggest ratings winner on the UK’s fourth-most watched news channel – targeted journalistic colleagues, friends and members of the public for at least 10 years.
Byline Times has extensive evidence to show that, between June 2008 and 2018, Wootton – who is gay – posed as a fictitious showbusiness agent called “Martin Branning” to offer sums of up to £30,000 “tax free” to his targets, many of whom were heterosexual men.
Among them are a very senior executive at Rupert Murdoch’s News UK alongside at least six other staff at The Sun newspaper – one with close links to News UK CEO Rebekah Brooks – friends, Facebook associates and users of the dating apps Grindr and Gaydar.
Two of the targets made criminal complaints to Scotland Yard without knowing the real identity of their tormentor with detectives aware of the activities of Branning – whose name is a portmanteau of EastEnders characters Martin Fowler and Max Branning – since 2019.
