Pastor Greg Locke Demolishes Barbie House With Baseball Bat Because Reasons
Pastor Demolishes Barbie House With Baseball Bat for Some Ungodly Reason
Faith so weak it can be jeopardised by a doll.
I'm convinced this is one of the reasons I love the color pink. I remember as a kid, my grandpa and occasionally my dad getting so insecure about the prospect of wearing/one of their boys wearing pink. Even at that age, I thought it was absurd that a man would be scared of a color. Ironically, that makes pink the most badass, punk-rock color, in my head.
This is absolutely a brilliant post. You nailed it.
In their defense, a doll is an awful lot like an idol.
Idollatry!
Far too many grown-ass men care far too much about movies made for little girls.
And I’m not just talking about Barbie. Look at all the dudes frothing at the mouth over the live action The Little Mermaid and Snow White, and before that over the Netflix She-Ra.
They can’t stand the existence of movies implying that women are people too
Can you elaborate on that.
Barbie is definitely made for adults.
Considering Barbie was PG-13 it is very much not a movie "made for little kids", which is the argument these people use to complain about it.
I’ll beach both of you off at the same time!
They're protecting your kids! /a
At the same time, they're all for freedom coincidentally.
Spreading the word of Jesus, the gospel of anger and hate.
Why don't American priests have any dignity?
Dignity isn’t profitable.
Most do, in my experience. These guys are more like right wing influencers with a Christian theme than actual clergy, as far as I can tell.
“took a bat with a Bible duct-taped to it” I really want this as a weapon in Dead Rising.
Using the bible as a weapon, just as Jesus intended.
wow what a manly specimen, destroying a toy for little girls
It is just a toy...
Yes, but enough about the Bible.
I was thinking about the doll house. But that was savage, nonetheless.
Whoever this "Pastor" Greg Locke is, first and foremost, he is obviously terminally stupid.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
