I haven\u2019t had much to say about the Ghostbusters reboot other than I love the costuming and I\u2019m going to see it twice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I have to say what\u2019s in my black fat girl feelings right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a little surprised that throughout all the discussions about the reboot and the sexism that no-one has spotlighted how the entertainment industry\u2019s beauty standards and the male gaze plays into the Ghostbusters reboot mess?\u00a0<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not only mad because it\u2019s women. They\u2019re mad about not being able to jerk it to The New Ghostbusters lineup. They\u2019re mad because their expectations of getting at least one hypersexualized, female protagonist wasn\u2019t met\u2013 not even one sexy secretary. That\u2019s rough, buddy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be oh so real here: if it were Megan Fox, Zooey Deschanel, Cameron Diaz, and Jennifer Lawrence in the Ghostbusters reboot, we wouldn\u2019t be having as much of a problem. McCarthy, Wiig, Jones and McKinnon in this movie are not funny-hot, like Cameron Diaz dorky dancing in a pair of underoos in Charlie\u2019s Angels. \u00a0They\u2019re just funny and serving you soft-butch, wild-butch, nerd-chic and (albeit a little too stereotypical) cut-a-bitch realness and it\u2019s a problem for these assholes.<\/p>\n

This Ghostbusters reaction falls into the same category as men who treat women poorly simply because they don\u2019t find them attractive\/fuckable\/worth their time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
