Transgender star Hari Nef is featured in 'Barbie' and said the movie encourages 'living your life and being in your body your way, on your own terms'

The upcoming "Barbie" film ignores its key demographic in favor of catering to "a small percentage of the population," a faith-based film review site claimed.

"Warning: Don't take your daughter to Barbie," Movieguide, a Christian movie review site warned ahead of the film's release July 21. The review criticized the film about the iconic doll of abandoning its core audience of families and little girls to instead focus on LGBTQ stories.

"The new BARBIE movie forgets its core audience of families and children while catering to nostalgic adults and pushing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender character stories. Furthermore, the movie was poorly made with multiple premises, losing even the most die-hard fans," the scathing staff review-penned piece began.

"They had a built-in market and audience for this franchise that they completely ignored," the story continued. "Millions of families would have turned out to the theaters and purchased tickets, but instead, Mattel chose to cater to a small percentage of the population who has proven over and over to abandon the box office."

However actress Margot Robbie defended the film in a recent interview, saying it was "literally crafted to be for everyone."

"This is such a thing people say when they do press for a movie. They’re like, ‘It’s for everyone.’ But it was literally crafted to be for everyone," Robbie said after being asked if the film was made for kids. Director Greta Gerwig crafted humor aimed at children and adults, the film's star further explained.



However, members of the cast and crew have praised the film's left-leaning messages on gender in media interviews.

"It most certainly is a feminist film," Gerwig said to ABC News Australia. "It's feminist in a way that includes everyone," she elaborated.

Transgender actor Hari Nef, who plays a "Doctor Barbie" told Out Magazine that the film had an empowering message about being transgender.

"As much as there’s a celebration of femininity and being a girl in this [movie], I think there’s also an encouragement of letting go of the checklist we ascribe to living and living your life and being in your body your way, on your own terms," Nef said.

Star Simu Liu has also praised the film for deconstructing "heteronormative" gender roles about toys and colors.

"And I’m so glad that this movie exists because I think it puts the final nail in the coffin of that very heteronormative idea of what gender is, and what is or is not gendered," he said during an interview with Screen Rant’s Joe Deckelmeier.



While discussing the film's feminist themes with Fandango, actress and "Saturday Night Live" alum Kate McKinnon revealed she knew she wanted to be in the film after reading about how the script deconstructs gender roles.

"I knew it was going to be something and then I read it, and it was like, sort of about how like gender roles deny people half their humanity and how like we need to just like be ourselves," McKinnon said.

Co-star Issa Rae praised the film for sidelining Barbie's male counterpart, "Ken", to be an "accessory" for Barbie.

Rae told interview host Naz Perez, "I think a Ken for me is just kind of there. I think a Ken is just a great accessory. That’s what I loved about Greta’s imagining of Barbie is that the Kens are just supplemental characters to these Barbies."

Warner Bros. Pictures, the studio behind the film, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Didn’t read, negged

Stopped reading at "a faith based review site claimed"


Lmfao the only people ****ing kids up more than the tranny agenda is all the religious p3dos. Hilarious.

Color me shocked

A group that encourages boys to cut their penises off...

Shut up bitch

worth mentioning


it is even weirder when you consider intention. We all know SEC is "forcing" major corporations to play along with woke ideology. That is a fact.

The perpetrators in religious institutions do it simply for selfish perversion.

Also, this is a form of deflection, so I would like to extend an olive branch and state that Hollywood specifically is a nightmare for children who participate in it to any degree (actors specifically, but consumers as well). The entire thing should be ripped apart, violently if needed. But everyone gives up their integrity for money so this will never stop.

That’s quite sad, indeed.

We’ll see how Barbie does at the box office.

Barbie has always been for little girls…so clearly this is a groomer movie.

Boycott!

Big game coming up for the Warriors.

Lol

Happy Mothers Day

Do you think Brock Purdy will play the first game for the Niners?

Happy 4th of July

Shocker

bump

Movie doesn’t actually push trans or lgbt stuff at all. It does overplay the man and woman dynamic, where the real world is all men are evil or useless, and the Barbie world is ironically ran by and for Barbie’s with no consideration for the Kens.

Some of the dialogue can get preach and annoying, it makes it seem like being a woman is impossible. Barbie is supposed to be a strong role model for girls, and they show all of the different doctor, astronaut, judges, etc Barbie’s while Margot Robbie’s Barbie is “stereotypical” Barbie, aka the hot white one.

It’s fun for what it is, but it’s not gonna win awards. It’s also not some movie that blasts you with gayness and all of that either.

This movie could have made them a fortune if they just did a simple fish out of water type thing.

They had to ruin it by letting the actor speak and push stupid agendas though.

Mattel is Jew owned and Jew founded. You do the math

No chit, it came out in 2023.
