Barbie banned from Algerian cinemas for 'corrupting morals' - eviltoast

It is accused of promoting attitudes contrary to the cultural beliefs of the mainly Muslim nation.

    “The movie promoted homosexuality and did not comply with Algeria’s religious and cultural beliefs”

    Did I see the wrong movie again when that pink fever dream about living -and quite certainly asexual- plastic puppets somehow promotes homosexuality?

      I think there was a scene showing a gay couple checking out Ken for a couple of seconds when they arrived at the beach

      Would be very funny if they did leave that out in their release there and it still got banned for that since everyone knows that it’s not about that why they don’t want people seeing that movie

        Fine… Why should I ever be able to just enjoy shallow entertainment as such? Guess I have to rewatch the movie at least another time to look for details I might have missed because I’m not properly sensitized like a good morally uncorrupted Algerian.
