1st in the list is similar to @sneedman's interpretation in https://rdrama.net/post/189529/i-feel-like-a-lot-of where he/she feels like people misinterpret the movie's intended themes
Also i figured something out about reddit, if you do not vote, either up or down, then the % score never alters, so whenever you see a sub 90% score then it's often contoversial
as always you'll notice the pattern that the strongest counter/contrarian view bests or most elequently expressed is not the top comment in all these threads
this is
some polite disagreements; here is what i feel, and why i feel sneedman is disproportinately charitable to the film.
Barbie movies are very serious business

Next on the list is top post of /r/truefilm
https://old.reddit.com/r/TrueFilm/comments/156zt07/the_barbie_movie_to_me_seemed_to_be_supportive/
The soy interpretation from /r/ftm and /r/menslibbers as usual
one brave soul says it was the most manhating movie ever!
chode gets worked up expecting what the chud media will say!
lots of indivudual outrage
one fool calls out the mean spiritedness of the themes in the movie
one let's it slip that he believes the movie totally ISN'T COMING TO INDOCTRINATE YOUR KIDS
Once again the most reasonable contrarian position is NOT the top comment after the echo chamber hugboxing
redditor liberals are all stunningly full of shit
And finally this comment, on why sneedman's review really REALLY bothered me
Alternatively why incels like myself took a different interpretation and dislike of the movie
ALIEN AND TERMINATOR WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE EXACT SAME REACTION TODAY
THE CHUD TUBERS LIKE CRITICAL DRINKER MISINTERPRETED MISSOMMAR
Oh by the way as for the Critical Drinker misinterpreting Midsommar as celebrating the cruelty against men as Yasss kween girlboss themes, here is a video from a deceisively liberal youtuber KillCount, where he tallies all the kills from Horror Movies In recent years KillCount evolved from a generic horror jank reviewer into a much better film analyst where he discusses the themes of films, and goes over the props, background and set construction of movies, making him stand out brightly in my opinion, as having more to add in the reviewing of horror movies than his peers.
I know he's very liberal becuase he's an unironic Trans Rights person, and regularly champions liberal stuff in his videos.
When Midsommar released, in the plot a shitty boyfriend suffered a truly gruesome horrifying fate, and many liberal and reddit peeps were Yass Kweening the fact that her divine just vengeance. Yet in context of the film, her supposed retribution was so wildly disproportionate a punishment to his misdeeds, and the celebration of the events online so alarming even to liberal men like KillCount, that he actually had to add a disclaimer in his review and podcast
Starting from 29 minutes; he states how this is NOT in fact a truly female empowered moment.
Even some of the top comments reflect their agreement of the climax end of the movie
Showing it's not just conservatards misinterpreting the core themes of movies these days, if it isn't successfully communicated via a film.

45 minutes too long and the women absolutely sucks in it. The director shut down the theory about the cult killing her family which is only way the movie makes sense.
