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!!!

Yea, especially since the strong negative prejudice against that particular movie has mainly come from sexist reactionary political commentators

Sorry if I’m out of the loop but how the fuck is a girls children movie in anyway woke?

Because it pushes surface level feminism

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”.
