Hmm, yeah, I see it. All those have female lead roles and are universally HATED! Right? Or…

I think HansiG has a good point. All of those things are loved by a large amount of people. People are upset with the new Ghostbusters because it’s an unfunny and un-needed reboot of a beloved classic comedy. Some view it as an obvious cash-grab that’s trying to appeal to the ‘feminist’ crowd with a ‘girl-power’ message. I don’t necessarily agree with this, but it’s far more nuanced than “I ain’t gon’ see that movie cuz there’s womanz in it.” I haven’t seen anyone ever espouse the latter position, but I’ll concede that if anyone does hold that view, they’re stupid.

But it appears the conversation has moved on, so I’ll leave it there.
