Unfortunately there’s really not much doubt about the dislike of the Ghostbusters trailer being due at least in part to misogyny.
Beloved movies/franchises getting reboot/remakes are far from something new (and neither are bad trailers). The volume here is telling (not to mention the comments).
Where was the massive backlash against TFA? I know some racist and misogynist fools came out and complained, but the trailers were received positively. The Ghostbusters trailer was received poorly because it was an unfunny trailer.
Apples and oranges. TFA wasn’t a reboot and featured returning cast members. One female lead vs. all. The trailers were fantastic.
Not saying the only reason why the Ghostbusters trailer is so disliked is because of misogyny, if it’s a bad trailer it’s gonna get dislikes, if it’s a bad trailer for a remake/reboot it’s gonna get dislikes. I’m just saying it’s the misogyny that is pushing this to record numbers.
