Pastor Greg Locke Demolishes Barbie House With Baseball Bat Because Reasons
The sermon was quite chaotic, a little bit scary, and probably traumatizing for children.

Is there a reason that grown men, mostly Republican, have a weird hatred of barbie? It is honestly is very pathetic.
She teaches little girls that women can be strong and independent and that scares the shit out of weak men.
It's hilarious seeing grown men freaking out about Barbies like they're 6yr olds that were just told they can only play with "action figures."
If they'd go see the movie with an open mind they might get a fresh perspective and maybe even laugh a few times. I feel like little girls and these guys are who actually needs to watch it.
The, "I'm an alpha male!" crowd?
Anyone who has to proclaim anything that loudly and consistently isn’t actually proclaiming that thing, and there’s probably something else going on in their heads.
This works for “alpha male” bullshit, as well as super over-the-top patriotism, and… well, as far as I’m concerned, organized religion in general.
Yup.
"Real gangsta ass ni--az don't have to flex nuts cuz real gangsta ass ni--az know they got em."
Geto Boys called that shit out decades ago.
And those even weaker men (often with poor hygiene/grooming and political views at one of the four extreme corners of the political compass, all white or chinese and who never socially matured past high school), who claim to be “nice guys” and then blame feminism, stronger men, women as a group altogether, men of other races, western culture and everything but themselves for their inability to get laid. They are so “nice” in fact, they are prone to leaving long, rude text messaging essays whenever a “female” refuses their clumsy attempts at seduction.
Misogyny. Barbie is about feminism. Feminism is about women having power and not being objects for men to control. Men hate this. Republicans support this oppression entirely.

Yea, Barbie used to have the message that women had to be a certain way, let’s not forget then”math is hard” Barbie. We didn’t let my daughter play with Barbies because the message used to be basically the same as the Kardashians (Be rich, Beautiful, and get a man). Weird how the movie basically changed the whole paradigm.

Lol,even worse the doll was modeled on another Doll from Germany called lilli the call-girl that was sold in adult shops.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the message of the movie. It’s great, but Barbies past was never about female empowerment
It's not that weird, society has changed and thus the marketing.
The weird part is it’s literally before and after the movie. Not a gradual shift
I hate that I know this, but the Barbie said, "Math class is tough."
Yeah to an extent. The movie addresses that actually. Still has an overall message that Barbie is for girls first and not dependent on men or being a homemaker.
Exactly, like how Shell did a campaign with Colin Firth about climate change so they're now a good company absolutely beyond reproach and we should all uncritically accept them into our lives now.
Green wash, white wash, pink wash, rainbow wash - if you've got a bad corporate image but want to continue to exploit your position we can baptise away those pesky old sins and let you carry on as if you're not a money hungry vultures actively harming people for profit.
Back in the 1980s, this used to be referred to as "the Myth of the Benevolent Corporation."
Republicans and stereotypical incel neckbeards hate that the male sex no longer rules supreme or controls every aspect of the Internet, and modern Barbie reminds them of that fact
They’re secretly gay and are afraid that seeing feminine concepts and objects will make them slip up and do something fabulous, so they put their emotions in a box and CRUSH IT
To be fair, it’s only a very particular subset of grown men. For instance, I am a grown man, and I have no problem with Barbie stuff. In fact, I’m gonna go see the movie next week because I’ve heard it’s incredibly good. Weird reactions to stuff like this seems to always come from men who are members of hyperconservative and often theologically-oriented groups.
Yeah a lot of straight people tell me that all anti gay stuff comes from gays, I suspect these folk are also racist because they're secretly black Mexican and the misogyny is because they're actually women, they hate college professors because they secretly teach at Harvard and I guess they teach modern art because they hate that too normally...
Or maybe theyre just small minded fucks that hate anything that isn't them because they're insecure and weak minded
Basically, they’re angry because they’re turned on.
This is similar to Hasidic Jews or ultra conservative Muslim men freaking out at western women and blaming women for being unable to control themselves.
They also can’t stand to see women who are … you know… successful at anything other than being a housewife.
Aside from the typical misogyny this movie in particular makes some pointed criticisms of masculinity. They either don't see that reactions like this makes their masculinity look very insecure, or they are aware that hatred sells to their audience better than fair level-headed reactions.
