It’s switched up in a second when it’s convenient. Look at the recent cartoon Mario movie. Woke until it wasn’t.
Likewise, if the Sound of Freedom was led by Pedro Pascal, the conversation would be very different.

The movie has a character who acts that way. Literally calling out Barbie, to her face, for representing sexism and capitalism and body shaming and even says she’s a fascist. Think there’s a term for that. Preemptive self criticism as an act of dismissing it. It’s like that Gillette commercial a few years back.
lampshading?
except for how often an idea is lampshaded and it's like "yeah, that's true, you can't turn around and proceed to do it anyway just because you pointed it out"
