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!!!”
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”.
Refusing to see a movie their partner wants to see with them is a sensible red flag. I think it would be higher if it was phrased generally rather than specifically about Barbie.
If they’re being a dick about it, yes. But surely there’s things that people in a relationship do by themselves or with friends. Couldn’t seeing a movie that your partner doesn’t want to be one of them?
Right? It’s a super fun and very funny movie. Knee jerk reactions to a movie about Barbie tells you all you need to know about where the person gets all their opinions fed to them from
You should go to the theater to see that movie (which I’ve never heard of and thus am not promoting) with your girlfriend 3 more times, that’ll show 'em!
Well, caring about that is a red flag by itself.

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

There’s a reason it’s specifically about Barbie…
I know, it’s a misleading political statement, like the rest of the survey.

The barbie movie is awesome I’ve seen it 3 times with my gf . If someone doesn’t like that movie it would be a red flag for me lol .

Only if you are the real Margot Robbie
Of course I am. Now go see that movie a couple more times and tell people how good it is so I can finally get my Oscar this year.
