One Year to End the ‘Barbie vs. Oppenheimer’ Battle—Here’s the Untold Strategy That Could Change Everything!
Social media is ideal for endless debates: Every day, there’s a slew of new tweet prompts inviting strangers to argue over the silliest stuff imaginable. Are waffles better than pancakes? Is a hotdog a sandwich? And over on Film Twitter, you’ll see certain movies, filmmakers and actors pitted against one another, each showdown meant not just to illustrate your allegiance but also your taste.
The Very Online who are still waging the “Marvel vs. Martin Scorsese” battles aren’t just fighting about their preference: They’re trying to tell you something essential about themselves, while giving those who hold an opposing view ammunition to use against them. (You side with Marvel? Oh, you must be an idiot who likes superhero movies. You Team Marty? Clearly, you’re a pretentious poser.) Really, there are no winners in these internet fights, just a lot of wasted time — which, honestly, is probably fine with the people who have nothing better to do than engage in these dustups while standing in line waiting for their Starbucks order.
