Classless website projects own behavior on others: The New ‘Ghostbusters’ Has A Trailer And Yeesh…. "It’s honestly a miracle someone hasn’t been threatened with rape by now. Over a movie. About shooting ghosts with laser beams. Which apparently only people with penises should do." (archive link)

I wouldn't have cared if a Ghostbusters 3 had an all female cast. Rewriting Ghostbusters as all female though irks me. I would not see this movie.

At least the comments pages are filled with people challenging this bullshit narrative, I laughed, because some of the 'pro-Anita Sarkeesian' are so obvious I wonder if it's not the website staff trying to do damage control.

That;s what you call a "man doesn't bite dog" story.

The Superficial is a retarded site, has been for years. It's also rather hypocritical to be spouting feminist shit given that its pageviews are mostly thanks to its "objectifying" of women.

On a semi-related note, I've read recently, that a lot of women hate Peter Venkman. He's apparently "gross" and a "creep" because of his pro-active approach to getting women.

The real miracle would be someone writing an article talking about legit criticisms of the movie without falling back on "you cant dislike it without being sexist".

This movie, just like so many other reboots/remakes/revivals, is getting a lot of harsh criticism because its messing with fond memories of childhood franchises.

Transformers, GI Joe, Alien, etc.....

And if you look at the criticism of this Ghostbusters without a feminist lens you'll see that its not hatred of women, it hatred of messing with a childhood franchise.

Think about it like this. Remember that JEM movie?

Remember how well it did (hint: its regarded as one of the worst if not the worst movie of 2015)? Yeah it wasnt because it was from a series aimed at girls, it was because it was a bad movie.

Hell I watched JEM back in the day was a bit excited but it looked like trash.

I pretty sure this movie is going to stink real bad. As a guy why would I want to see 4 ugly, old & fat women make childish stereotypical jokes ? This film has nothing in it for me. It's clearly made to pander to women & regressives.
