She's probably not an expert, no. But maybe she genuinely enjoyed the movie and maybe moviegoers that have a similar taste will enjoy the movie as well. Some of you are certain that you won't enjoy the movie and that's fine. You don't have to watch it. Yes, you're upset because one of your favorite movie franchises is destroyed by gender swapping but I don't know if the rumored Ghostbusters movie starring Chris Pratt and Channing Tatum would be of significant higher quality. Generally, remakes of classics tend to piss of the fanbases. Nothing new about that.
Usually, I like to call out tiresome and unfounded hatred that seems to be so popular nowadays but after finding out that the hatred in this instance is based on gender politics I think I'm done defending Ghostbusters reviewers.
I think there are far more important places to fight for gender equality than in Western countries where men and women are equal regarding almost everything. Yes, in the perfect world female workers would have the same salery as male but as long as there are women believing that men should be the ones paying for dinner and drinks and as long as there are women who refuse to marry a man who has a smaller salery than her, then naturally there will be men demanding higher saleries than their female colleges. Regarding sexuality (which is more relevant when speaking games), I don't care if Tsubasa Oribe's cleavage is censored or not or if Tracer is posing with her butt or not as neither will affect my enjoyment of the games. I go to my gf for sex and porn when she's abroad. I don't go to games for sexy times. But I believe (my gf shares this view) that there are some groups that are being hypocritical when they claim that only women are victims of sexual objectification as men often act as sex objects as well. In Denmark this ad was heavily criticized for objectifying women:
While this one wasn't criticized for objectifying men:
In my opinion that's the definition of hypocrisy as the ads are just as guilty in using sexual objectification.
Well, see this is the reason I don't want to participate in any discussions of gender politics XD |
lol, Denmark has some weird ads.
I will say the one with the women is considerably more sexual, the girls are touching themselves like they're getting off and their ass is thrust up into the camera screen or squatting down like they're giving a BJ like a porn shoot. It's like a softcore porno, lol, I'm not surprised it got some complaints.
The male version just has the typical muscular guy with his shirt off.
