The ghostbusters video was good and literally just talked about the movie being awful. Made one joke about possibly being called a sexist at no ones expense except maybe crazies who would think being critical of ghostbusters means you hate women.

It's a shame that literal misogynists/altright cling to otherwise good things and taint it with their affection but even Rick and morty has a scene where they explicitly beat the poo poo out of a nazi, and various rlm people have stated on multiple occasions how awesome it is to kill nazis in movies and video games and real life.

Rich and Jack playing Wolfenstein the New Order and cackling at killing Nazis was goddamn amazing

Finished watching that RLM Ghostbusters vid, and there was pretty much no red meat for the alt-right whatsoever. Was this a bait and switch to get more clicks? I dunno. But the review was a good one and I am so glad someone else called out the fact that this movie, like many others, has this loving obnoxious idea that more people talking in a neurotic fashion over each other and NEVER SHUTTING UP = funny.

Well, by dodging the controversy to the film entirely, it does not silence the idea that the preemptive backlash to the film was not about geek misogyny. "It's actually about..." I wouldn't be surprised if the YouTube comments, which I avoided reading, liked the review for that simple reason.

Like I've said; I'm glad the review wasn't a train wreck. It could have been worse, considering of RLM's spotty record with social issues, but it wasn't. So yeah. I'm still as much a RLM fan as I was two days ago.

A quick perusal shows that many seem to think Paul Feig hates men and that he should hurry up with his gender reassignment surgery.

This is bordering on self-parody. The movie was slapped together garbage with the controversy created by a last minute advertising blitz to capitalize on the negative reception due to being stupid trash.

The lady who made wonder woman had it as a passion project for like a decade and was run roughshod over by the studio who didn't even consult her when they appointed the lead role to a bikini model with no charisma who can barely speak english because the studio figured the movie would be junk.The director didn't even want her, and I'm willing to bet the focus on Chris Pine as co star was probably due to the lovely casting forced onto the director since an actual movie starring a woman got relegated to toilet for whats a probably a producers relative. You think people with influence and relative power sabotaging something probably cause they thought a woman making an action movie about a woman would bomb out of hand might be a little more sexist?

Here's something I think is not controversial:

1. Hollywood is cynical and bad and obviously in it for the money.
2. A huge chunk of the backlash is blatant misogyny and it shouldn't matter whether or not the internet shitlords were intentionally "baited".

Like I said, I didn't watch or support the movie. But I'd wish the movie could have proven those shitlords wrong. Unfortunately, it didn't.

The backlash was it being trash and disinterest, and then Sony hired an internet street team to start a bunch of flame wars.

Did you know that HR is there to protect the company, not you?

Perhaps nobody cares about a junk movie making GBS threads on a classic just because it has women, and the studio might be so cynical that they're willing to drum up the idea that female leads is why everyone hates it, and not because its dumb loud stupid poo poo in a desperate attempt to make make it controversial to drum up ticket sales?

The great reformer Martin Luther said "You say, "What comes out of our mouth must be kept!" I hear it – which mouth do you mean? The one from which the farts come? (You can keep that yourself!)" in his treatise on Rome, therefore actually showing your rear end to someone is actually a masterstroke moral argument worthy of the Enlightenment and furthermore...

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

He's a parody of a lovely gamer guy, so it's supposed to be making fun of the racist. But satire is hard to pull off.
