Really, it's to focus on her Lemmy presence.

@MargotRobbie@lemmy.world would you like to comment on this decision?
“I’ve decided to take a step back from acting to shitpost in the Fediverse. If you have any funny memes about Linux or Star Trek, please send them my way.”
I, um, had to deal with some things that has kept me very busy for the past 2 weeks.
Yeah...
Don’t Margo. Marstay.
Understandable. Have a nice day.
It's a me, ~~Mario~~ Margot.
She's too busy shitposting on Lemmy, obviously.
I'm out of the loop here
There’s a Lemmy.world user by the name of MargotRobbie.
Who cosplays as Margot Robbie too. It's not just a name (for more context)
Honestly they had me kinda convinced...
It's almost like pretending to be a character is what I do for a living or something.
Might have been nominated for a few awards for it too.
That's esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!
I've got to say, I enjoyed Barbie more than I expected to. Maybe because I was jetlagged out of my brain on a 13-hour flight when I watched it, but I was probably disturbing my neighbors the amount I was giggling and trying not to burst out laughing. They did a great job of touching on serious issues in an informative and entertaining manner without being preachy or annoying, too. Fantastic movie!
The press junket for Barbie seemed pretty nonstop for months.
Perhaps Ms Robbie is sick of us, too.
To tell you the truth, no Barbie shilling or character actress or any of my other running gags here.
Yeah, especially after the last weeks. I'm sorry.
I wish there was more
I mean that's not a bad idea. There are movies l started avoiding cause I was sick of the actors in them being in everything. Got so sick of anything with Jennifer Lawrence or Bradley Cooper
If you want to avoid me, Lemmy is like the last place you would want to be...
I'm like, everywhere here.
Also because she's sick of the people I bet. I wouldn't blame her. We can be a bunch of fuckers as a species.
Plus, I bet she made enough from that movie to basically disappear for a year or two.
time to play someone less likeable then
I love this suggestion.
I know I didn't watch it ~~or have any interest to do so~~. But... Were the assumptions I have about it true? In that just like the woke craze a few years back, its message backfired by essentially smacking the pendulum from where ever it was between masculism and feminism, to the extreme edge of feminism. This, to the point it becomes toxic, and making it what it seems now, the butt of a joke?
I also understand the primary purpose of the movie was likely for repopularizing the line of toys. It still had some form of message.
ETA: this was an honest question and in no way was implying any disrespect to women, the feminism movement, or the woke culture. I've just seen a bit of criticism and countless jokes that make fun of the film, that it becomes nearly impossible to to discern the truth.
Also with Mattel being the primary funding, I assumed that greed took over and they diverged from the original purpose of the product line and just created what seemed like a polarizing story on the outside to help sell.
Could you define woke?
Acceptance and popularizing of previously stigmatized groups of people and cultures who underwent many social injustices, such as people of a different race, neurodivergants, or LGBTQ to name a few.
A few years ago media really started to shoehorn the culture into script writing to the point a show or movie, rather than just telling a story, made it a platform for culture. While I appreciated that these groups were gaining acceptance, I felt it could too much too soon, and the more closed-minded people would just close off even more.
Sounds like we shouldn't cater to closed-minded people then. You can't change people that don't want to change, and if they want to be wrong, that's on them.
Barbie is a decent movie with the message that women are people and to treat them like people and not play things. I wouldn't even call that your definition of woke. Now, if the movie started calling for women's hygiene products to be free and had Barbie stealing that shit from Walmart and Target and doling it out to the poor, we can start talking.
Is she keeps putting in performance like wolf of wallstreet I'm sure we won't get sick of her.
