Sometimes a Cartoon Map is Just a Cartoon Map (www.politico.com)

“While it may just be a Barbie map in a Barbie world, the fact that a cartoonish, crayon-scribbled map seems to go out of its way to depict the PRC’s unlawful territorial claims illustrates the pressure that Hollywood is under to please CCP censors,”...

“The map in Barbie Land is a child-like crayon drawing,” a spokesperson for the Warner Bros. Film Group said. “The doodles depict Barbie’s make-believe journey from Barbie Land to the ‘real world.’ It was not intended to make any type of statement.”

This is my first time seeing the map, and oh my god, this is even dumber than I expected. The GOP is clowns.

to be fair, its not just the GOP. I believe certain Asian countries, including Vietnam, have outright banned the showing of the film.

Still stupid af tbh

Yes. There's a lot of projection going on here. While I understand that art allows us to see and project ourselves onto it, I don't believe a movie about a plastic fashion doll is quite the same.

So glad this is what Ted is focusing on.

But honestly, if it gets him to stop fomenting hostility toward trans people like my brother, I can live with whining about a toy movie.

Same here. I expected it was a model airplane circling a globe showing them going on a trip or something. This is just unrecognizable gibberish with people seeing what they want. This is ridiculous and sad.
