‘Ghostbusters’: All-Female Reboot a Victim of 2016’s ‘Anti-Hillary Movement,’ Says Director Paul Feig
By J. Kim Murphy

Paul Feig has reflected on the vitriolic response to his women-led “Ghostbusters” reboot, claiming it was similar to criticism faced by Hillary Clinton during her 2016 campaign for president.

In a discussion with Julia Cunningham on “The Jess Cagle Show” on SiriusXM, Feig discussed the vocal negativity that arose following the casting of Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones as the leads of the film.

“Some really brilliant author or researcher or sociologist needs to write a book about 2016 and how intertwined [our film was] with Hillary [Clinton] and the anti-Hillary movement,” Feig said. “It was just this year where everyone went to a boiling point. I don’t know if it was [having] an African-American president for eight years [that] teed them up or something, but they were just ready to explode… By the time, in 2014 or 2015, when I announced I was going to [make] it, it started.”

Feig went on to point toward President Trump’s own negative comments regarding the film as indicative of a larger ideological tie between the criticism both faced.

“It’s crazy how people got nuts about women trying to be in power or trying to be in positions that they weren’t normally in,” Feig said. “It was an ugly, ugly year.”

The rebooted “Ghostbusters” faced negative online reactions up to its release. It grossed $229.1 million at the global box office and Sony Pictures, the film’s distributor, lost upward of $50 million.

that is a valid criticism tho
a lot of queer artists are criticizing the NHS for using rainbow stuff all over the 'hero doctors' stuff they're doing this month. it's more co-opting of a minority group's symbols

speaking of which, ive already seen pride poo poo for sale all over, and prides are cancelled this year :capitalism:

We have Smarties but not the Smarties the rest of the world has. Our Smarties are powdery and much smaller. I think they're great, but they aren't anything like Skittles.

The rest of the world's Smarties look to me like the US's Sprees (which are also great).

Also while I'm at this drive through, Skittles should be barred by law from calling the Original packs "Original" as long as they have green apple in place of lime, which is a TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE.
