While it’s sad to not be able to see the movie that will give us an insane amount of childhood whiplash , it’s a good call to ban the local release of ‘Barbie’ for this reason.
You might be wondering, after all the hype that the ‘Barbie’ movie has built up in the Philippines, why are most people in favor of banning the movie altogether? Well, it’s quite simple actually—would you tolerate it when your country keeps on getting misrepresented and disrespected no matter how many times you keep telling them to get it right?
It’s time for us to stand up to the West, who can’t seem to get their history and geography materials updated, aside from their side of the world, and to educate them into getting Asian geography right and to set things straight. Seriously though, it doesn’t hurt to do much research even for a prop in the background.
