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.

Robocop and Total Recall and basically all the recent reboots that have all sucked didn't face backlash because they didn't dare cast women in those roles. 

The fact of the matter is the intention of the movie in a way was proven right this year with Wonder Woman ... big action adventure movies don't need to be a boys-only club as WW is kicking the crap out of Spider-Man and Guardians just fine. You just need a good script. Go figure. 

Didn't some of the actresses end up receiving death threats? Really which side was being more immature here. 

Wow, a strong, independent, ass-kicking woman in a leading or major supporting role in a big action / sci fi blockbuster that was well received by fans and general audiences alike... what a novel concept that's never been done in movies before Wonder Woman came out.

Oh wait...

Star Wars Trilogy (1977-1983)

Alien (1979)

The Terminator (1984)

Aliens (1986)

Terminator 2 (1991)

The Matrix Trilogy (1999-2003)

Resident Evil series (2002-present)

Kill Bill (2003)

Underworld (2003-present)

i don't remember anybody complaining about the female characters in those movies.  But then again, none of those film series decided to use their brand recongnition to conduct a gender-swapped, feminism infused social experiment that fell flat on its face and then blame the audience / fanbase for their failure.
