Women in China are telling each other to bring their boyfriends to see 'Barbie' — and to use it as a litmus test for their thoughts on feminism and patriarchy

  • I mean it's not a groundbreaking feminist and anti-capitalist critique, but you do understand that the opening is intentionally tacky and childish, right? You should have stayed to see what the next 1,5 hours of the movie had to say about that tackiness.

  • On Lemmy you only see local communities by default. On Mastodon you see posts from instances that the admin linked. Idunno about kbin etc

  • You can block communities and users on Lemmy. You can't block instances, but that wouldn't make sense since you don't see their content unless you go there or subscribe to a community. Maybe blanket blocking users from an instance would be useful.

  • I'm not confused. You can block people on Lemmy.

  • On Reddit I've found most of the news about the big social networks is posted by only handful accounts, they also don't post other interesting things, so you can just block them.

    I'm hoping that'll work on Lemmy as well.

  • I don't think it legitimizes that. Fans can be blissfully unaware of an artist's politics. Or better: loving their art in spite of their politics can be empowering. It removes the hate from the art and turns it into a positive force. This has been done over and over again with Lovecraft's work. That took effort. Not so much with Sinead's songs, cause her "racist" fit was so impotent to begin with.

  • Yeah lol who said anything about "good racism"? Lemmy really is like the old Reddit, can't say I missed "reverse racism" concern trolls.

  • She was angry for getting a lot of Islamophobia. It's racism yeah but only in a very literal sense that doesn't hurt white people. It's not that hard to understand.

  • Why should that be an issue? As if Black people can't be HP Lovecraft fans.
