Making the Ghostbusters women was one of the most consistently pervasive criticisms of that movie, starting months before it was even released. So while I'm sure there were plenty of legit criticisms to be made, acting like sexism didn't factor in is just willful ignorance tbqh What would also be being willfully ignorant would be acting like a lot of the complaints about them being women didn't stem from the fact that it was blatantly politically motivated and that shit tends to rub people the wrong way "Blatantly politically motivated" Jesus... I mean, its pretty obvious that it was. Though I personally dont mind such motivations as long as the end product is good. I checked out of the movie when I learned it was a reboot. Out of all classic franchises to make a belated sequel to, and reboot the one where it's a business that can hire people/change hands or whatever. Coulda just had the girls be the current staff years later. Also years of Dan Akroyd constanltly going "Ghostbusters 3 is definitely happening this time" sort of made me genuinely skeptical of anything Ghostbusters. >_> --- Currently Binging: Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Complex http://i.imgtc.com/YQId2Bz.png <cite>AlisLandale posted [p:892507188] in If you don...
