Are we *still* on the gender swap thing? If it's a bad or good movie, then it's a bad or good movie. The fuck does the gender of the bloody cast have to do with it?
Was there a necessity for the original cast being the gender they were? No! Who the fuck gives a shit. This is a reboot. They have the creative freedom to have an all female ghostbusters team, without any "necessity" to it. If they had chosen an all male team, there wouldn't have been any "necessity" to that either. It's just a bloody gender choice lol. How people manage to make such a big deal out of this is baffling to me. Who the fuck cares?

Yes we are. Because if they want to have an all lead female or any other thing that doesn't ressemble the original one they have to have a good explanation for it, or just create their own movie from scratch. The way the movie is portrayed and defended by SJWs it's basically a "girls can too". So yes, it will be a point of concern every time a company decides to trash something they done in the past just to applease SJWs.
There were no reason for the original cast to be the way it was, and no one would complain if they have done a new movie with 10 fat chicks on a new idea. But they are just taking advantage of an existing movie to make a political agenda, even more when the director last movies were all female as well.
If no one cares ask yourself why they made it all female now and why there are so many defenders of the movie only because of it.

The best part is that you didn't even saw the movie so you don't even now if it's good kkkkk (I won't watch until it get on netflix so I also don't know if it's bad, but I say the premise of gender swap only for reasons is silly, and to me it's similar to Annita Kardeshians demands on gaming industries just to satisfy her ego and end up backfiring on the games sales)

I dunno why they swapped genders. I don't think it's a big deal who stars in this movie. The silly light-hearted story acts a medium to deliver jokes and comedy. It's not potraying historical events or anything serious. It's a reboot that's loosely based on the original. Gender swapping doesn't need explaining because when you reboot you are given the freedom to do it how you want.
I didn't see the movie, but I think the hate it receives from those, who also didn't see the moive, is ridiculous. And if all you can provide for reasoning is that the original GB had more male characters then just wow. This isn't a sequel...
Me not seeing the movie doesn't deny me the right to make remarks about the haters based on observations.
Also, I think Anita, if she had any integrity, would oppose the movie because gender swapping is one of her issues with video games. But she is not actually a feminist and she is a lair who is only in for the money & controversy, so I expect her to say whatever floats her boat these days and whatever makes her (& women) look like victims.

I'll say to you why they done it. To applease a vocal minority that asks for empowerement.
I'll repeat what I said above. They could just make whatever new movie they like with only females, have the previous two movies of the director been backlashed with anything because of the female cast? No. But you take an established franchise and start changing it and backlash is inevitable, I'm more suprise by people showing to be shocked and not understanding why there is backlash than to the backlash itself or the reasonings. That is a very good reason on why you don't retcom the past or ressucitate old things, because nostalgia is better left in the past than brought to the present.
Anita have an issue with gender swapping? Since when? From what I can see from her she would love to see Gears of War having bulky female with a cloak covering her body.
And most third wave feminists aren't much different then her. How many of the vocal (which get a lot of support before someone say they don't represent feminism) asks more of privileges than equal rights (guess what, in the western world woman already have more rigths than men). You will certainly see all those very distorted studies about paygap that completely ignore law to prevent different payment based on gender but want a university teacher to receive the same as a kindergarten one.
