\u201cGhostbusters Movie Trailer Most Disliked In YouTu-\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s because they\u2019re women. Just. I\u2019m going to stop you right there and tell you, yeah, it\u2019s disliked because it\u2019s a movie starring women.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell no but see it\u2019s actually because it\u2019s a reboo-\u201d<\/p>\n

Of the top 15 highest grossing movies of 2015, 9 were either reboots or sequels and 5 were adaptations based on books or comics. [x<\/a>] You don\u2019t hate the new Ghostbusters because it\u2019s not original enough. It\u2019s because they had the audacity to cast women in a movie not marketed specifically for<\/b> women. It\u2019s because it\u2019s a reboot of a movie starring men<\/i> and they cast women.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly I just didn\u2019t think it was all that funny-\u201d<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be an asshole. That is not why THIS movie\u2019s trailer, above all the outrageously shitty movie trailers made, got the most negative reaction. The movie\u2019s made by and starring people who are already established as marketable. It stars SNL cast, which, again, is really goddamn marketable. It\u2019s an established and popular franchise (and tapping into those has already proven to be really fucking marketable, if last year alone says anything.)<\/p>\n

In 2014 only 12% of all clearly identifiable film protagonists were female. (For the purpose of the study, protagonists = the characters from whose perspective the story is told.) [x<\/a>] People complaining about Ghostbusters are the same mouth-breathing troglodytes who complained that Star Wars cast \u201cANOTHER girl!\u201d in Rogue One. (Or complained about Rey in Star Wars, or Furiosa in Mad Max, etc. etc. without any fucking end in sight oh my god.) People hate the trailer because they hate women stepping out of the 12% of place they have.<\/p>\n

Look, it\u2019s 2016. Let\u2019s just call misogyny what it is and not give it any fucking trending headlines, alright.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
