Podcaster Joe Rogan expressed his fascination with the political outrage surrounding the new “Barbie” film during a conversation with his guest, Post Malone. Rogan described the movie as a lighthearted and entertaining story about dolls coming to life. He couldn’t understand why people were upset about a film that he perceived as a comedy about dolls, with some elements touching on the topic of patriarchy.
Rogan found it perplexing that individuals viewed the movie as a progressive metaphor for life, and questioned why people would be outraged by a doll movie that explores the dolls’ attempt to navigate the real world. He emphasized that this movie was unlike anything he had seen before and appreciated its unique and silly nature, finding it comical.
The controversy around the portrayal of male characters in the film as being representative of all men caught Rogan’s attention. He challenged the idea of categorizing all men under the same umbrella and not judging individuals as individuals. Rogan highlighted that the portrayal of Ken, as an accessory to Barbie, reflects the reality of how people perceive and purchase these toys.
Rogan argued against an over-analytical, progressive interpretation of the movie. He emphasized that it’s a comedic film that playfully explores the concept of patriarchy. He also noted that some characters in the film venture out of the Barbie world into the “real world,” which they depict as being run by men. Certain individuals interpreted this aspect as the film being anti-men.
Rogan expressed his dismay at the extent of the outrage surrounding the film. However, he suggested that those who were offended may not have been the intended audience. He humorously compared it to someone who dislikes AC/DC attending an AC/DC concert, questioning their choice if it’s not aligned with their preferences.
