Unlike the other poor reboots, there was concerted effort to insult and denigrate anyone that dared to dislike Ghostbusters. Sony, the cast, and media in general painted anyone that didn't like the movie as an misogynistic, basement dwelling virgin. Heck your opening paragraph is perfect example of what people that dared to not like Ghostbusters had to deal with. People criticizing Robocop and Total Recall didn't face the same vitriol. I know because I didn't like any of those movies. Only with Ghostbusters was not liking the movie met with venomous insults. Immature people with an agenda just could not comprehend that the general public just thought the movie was bad. |
This. It also doesn't do any good calling the people who didn't like it as basement dwellers who have never gotten any by the cast, director, and people like Soundwave. Do these people realize that most criticizing the movie and/or modern feminism actually do have wives/girlfriends? And that there are plenty of women who agree with them?
I'm sure they do. But why have an actual debate when it's so much easier to insult people.
