Even Joe Rogan Is 'Appalled' At How Much Conservative Hate The 'Barbie' Movie Is Getting

The podcaster made some suprisingly valid points about those claiming the movie is 'anti-men' during a recent conversation with Post Malone.

Right-wing podcaster Joe Rogan expressed his surprise and bewilderment at the level of outrage conservatives have directed at Greta Gerwig's Barbie.

While many conservatives and pundits have criticized the film for alleged progressive messaging, Rogan dismissed the intense reactions and offered his perspective on the matter, saying he is "appalled at how easily outraged so many people are.”


In a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan sat down with guest Post Malone and shared his confusion over the intense reactions to a film about dolls coming to life and navigating the real world.

You can hear what Rogan said in the video below.

Rogan said:

“People are upset that it’s this like progressive metaphor for life that they’re pushing progressive politics in this and I’m like, it’s a f**king doll movie!”
“It’s a doll movie. It’s a fun movie about dolls who come to life and try to interact with the real world. I know some people personally who said it’s anti-men. I’m like, no, it’s making fun of dorks."
“They think it’s a super woke movie… But it’s also a movie about how Barbies are the dolls that everyone cares about. And Ken is just a f**king accessory, which is real."
“And then in the movie they go to the real world and the real world sucks and it’s run by men. And so this is what people are saying makes this an anti-man movie.”
“I don’t get it. I’m appalled at how easily outraged so many people are.”

Barbie has garnered attention for its exploration of gender roles, power dynamics, and societal issues and has grossed $1.06 billion worldwide, marking the first time a film by a solo female director did so.

Many concurred with Rogan's assessment.



Rogan's commentary was no doubt inspired by recent outbursts from right-wing figures like Bill Maher and Ben Shapiro.

Earlier this week, Maher shared his less-than-enthusiastic thoughts on the movie, particularly focusing on what he perceived as its "preachy" and "man-hating" elements.

Meanwhile, Shapiro—who made headlines last month for burning several dolls on a barbecue grill to symbolize his discontent with the film—asserted that the movie's popularity would plummet after the first week, only to be reminded of his bogus prediction after the film crossed the $1 billion mark.

Dr. Oz Slammed After His 'Credit Card' Health Care Analogy Goes Completely Off The Rails

Snake oil salesman Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he tried to discuss U.S. health insurance providers' pledge to speed up the prior authorization process by oddly comparing it to a "credit card," underscoring just how much he doesn't understand the job he currently holds.

Earlier this week, major U.S. health insurers—including Cigna, Aetna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare—announced a set of reforms aimed at simplifying the often frustrating prior authorization process for patients and providers.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
