Japanese social media users have slammed the Barbenheimer trend for being “insensitive”, with some posting memes of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center in retaliation.
JAPAN — Barbenheimer, a social media trend pairing two blockbuster movies Barbie and Oppenheimer together, is fuelling a backlash in Japan.
The Barbie movie is a fantasy-comedy based on the iconic toy doll, while Oppenheimer is a biographical thriller about the physicist who invented the atomic bombs that were unleashed on Japan during World War II.In one image, Barbie is depicted with a mushroom cloud bouffant. In another, Barbie is perched on J. Robert Oppenheimer's shoulder against the backdrop of what appears to be a nuclear explosion.
“What do you Americans who use this tag to make jokes about the atomic bomb feel when they see this image? What you guys are doing is exactly the same as this. Shame on you,” the user wrote. “We cannot help but feel that this insensitive #Barbenheimer movement completely downplays the atrocities of the atomic bombs,” Voices of Hiroshima & Nagasaki, the activist group behind the petition wrote.
