America Ferrera and the ‘Barbie’ Monologue We All Talked About
(www.nytimes.com)
This is a community for entertainment industry news and general discussion about movies and TV shows.
Rules:
Well I don’t want to continue this longer than we have to as we’re mostly talking at each other by this point. So happy to “disagree” I guess.
But in the interests of trying to resolve this … some questions:
In the end, all I’ve been saying to you is “yes, but there can still be a kernel of truth in this that resonated with people but which didn’t resonate with you perhaps because of your different perspective”.
To reject that as a reality or valid or relevant human behaviour strikes me as an argument that’s somewhere between naive and insensitive, especially given that the purplewashing point is not in question at all.
Anyway, all the best and genuinely thanks for the chat … I believe neither of us got too heated and kept it civil!
