    They refuse to see the Barbie movie

    Well, caring about that is a red flag by itself.

      Red flags come in all sizes. A potentially small one is: “I’m not willing to sit through a dumb but harmless movie even though my partner wants to see it.”

      A bigger red flag would be “I refuse to see The Barbie Movie because it’s woke!!!

          Well, there’s a certain subset of loud, gullible cretins out there that apply the following tests to see if something is “woke” and they should hate it:

          • Does it espouse or support anything that’s not hardcore, regressive social “conservatism”? E.g “LGBT people exist” or “sexism is bad.”
          • Do “the libs” (real or imaginary) like it?

          If the answer to any of those 2 questions is “yes”: the thing in question is “woke”. The Barbie Movie is 2 yeses … so apparently it’s “extra woke”.

      Refusing to see a movie their partner wants to see with them is a sensible red flag. I think it would be higher if it was phrased generally rather than specifically about Barbie.
