The Barbie film has been banned in Kuwait and faces calls for a ban in Lebanon amid criticism in the Arab world of the movie's social values.
Kuwait acted to protect "public ethics", the state news agency said. Lebanon's culture minister accused the film of "promoting homosexuality".

Russia, Ethiopia, Iraq and now Lebanon all have pushed back hard on the perverts. They’ve had it with the pervert agenda and have each taken steps to stop it. Kudos for all of them.
You’re not advocating this sort of thing here are you?
America should have banned “Oppenheimer”. Now Bidenskyyyyy wants to pay “compensation” to everyone who lives in New Mexico. I don’t know if it’s because of the Trinity site or because he thinks New Mexico is part of Old Mexico.
That puts Barbie between Iraq and a hard place
Of course not. That would be hateful. I’m merely observing what’s happening on the world stage.
Cancelation can run in both directions. That being said, it’s even better when the consumers do the cancelation, rather than government, as they have been doing with Disney here in the USA.
No, because we respect national sovereignty and recognize that other countries, cultures, and people have a right to live free and as they themselves choose.
The problem with "globohomo," sponsored by the US deep state and its many corporate cronies, is they recognize none of this. Just like the marxists of old, their cult-religion believes that to be "saved," the whole world must follow them.
“Kudos for all of them.”
Couldn’t agree more.
I wish conservatives in this country would react the same way to it.
I read the book maybe 50 years ago when it had been out for 15 years. I recall it was an excellent book. I worked overseas (eight different countries) for a couple of years not long after reading the book. It influenced my behavior in other countries.
The Barbie movie absolutely sux. No American family should let their little girls see it. It begins with little girls smashing their baby dolls, a tribute to abortion. And it goes downhill from there.

“It begins with little girls smashing their baby dolls, a tribute to abortion.”
I’ve seen the opening scene. I think you’re misinterpreting that symbolism. The babydolls they are smashing don’t represent babies (since little girls are incapable of getting pregnant and having babies, after all), they represent the typical dolls that kids played with before “Barbie” came along and took over the marketplace. It’s an “out with the old” type of statement, not a pro-abortion statement, lol.
As for the rest of the movie, I’ve heard it’s trash, so there should be plenty to criticize without trying to shoehorn in something that isn’t there just to find more to criticize.
I’m female and I do believe that smashing baby dolls means they want to kill them.
No. It’s right there in the voice over. The “revolution” of Barbie was giving girls a toy to play at being something besides mothers. Boys had Tonka trucks and Lincoln Logs and cap guns, and on and on and on. And girls had baby dolls and paper dolls for dress up. Barbie shook that all up. Also keep in mind the scene was aping (yeah I went there) 2001, the birth of weapons, a sea change in primate history. And there’s Barbie, a sea change in girl play.
Well, you’re free to believe whatever you want, I guess.
