Current Events > lol Abby Russell getting mad about Ghostbusters throwing out the feminist movie

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's so annoying when she starts going on her stupid feminist tirades. She was just whining and whining when they told her that Ghostbusters is being rebooted again. She probably never even watched that piece of garbage but she just has to get into any feminist argument she can.

I dont know who that is.

how is it that the outrage trolls know every irrelevant crybaby on the internet but every time there's a topic about them i have no clue who they are

---

When they played some stupid game for the new year show, every time she had a turn she just wanted to develop this woman character and she made sure she was the leader of the group and in charge of everyone.

And her favorite games are always Nancy Drew games, not because she really thinks they're good, but because she thinks it's an icon of feminism.

And her favorite movie of last year was that action movie starring Natalie Portman... guess why!

Who? Why do I care?

---

The 2016 movies wasn't even feminist.

Anyways I just want it to be a good movie but I don't think it will be good.

---

Anyways she's the token girl on Giant Bomb. None of you know her?

Should I?
---

^Nope, what is Giant Bomb?

That's not even true. Dislike Abby if you want but making up nonsense reasons to do so is a bad look

How is it not true? She talks about Nancy Drew games every week.

Because she loves playing them. She has said countless times why she loves them and it's never because "hurrr feminism"

Nah clearly she only started playing them 20 years ago because she knew it'd make future incels angry.

male power fantasy

I have never once fantasized about being anybody from a game. Still think that's a stupid go-to.

Oh she says she likes them but then she eventually admits that it's because it means a lot to girls to have a girl hero. She doesn't use the word feminism but if you listen to her words, she's clearly implying the reason she likes it.

even if that's her sole reason for liking them (it isn't) what's wrong with that? plenty of men love games that make them feel empowered too. the majority of the biggest games every year are male power fantasies

She didn't pretend to like the most recent one (which she hated) so I'm having trouble buying your narrative

Yeah and she hated it because it was different.

Sure is incel in here

That movie was legitimately terrible

And how does that support your theory she only likes the games for female empowerment

Her reasoning was she likes the games because they aren't your typical Barbie/Cooking Mama/Babiez gender norm bullshit. God forbid she want something that isn't so vapid

Horrifying

This is sounding like some epic lulz. Possibly even for the win

---

She's upset that a mild bomb isn't being kept as part of a franchise moving forward.

okay

Ehhh, it had a lot of pretty blatent messaging. Not like, of real feminism, but like the whole women are awesome and men are stupid and evil "feminism".

I just listened to it too and she barely sounds upset, like mildly annoyed at most lol

im guessing there is more outrage in this stupid topic than real life

dudes calling feminists snowflakes while simultaneously getting irked over incredibly minor things

Rebooted? Its the 2nd sequel to the 1984 movie

100%.

It was only a comment made in passing when she found out that Ghostbusters 3 has nothing to do with the 2016 version too. It was essentially a 'well that's lame' type of response before moving on to the next subject. lol

No, she said that's lame after it. She first went "WHAAAAAT?!? And this new one is a bunch of dudes?" Don't leave out important details like that.

Go clutch your pearls harder.

Even though these crybabies are annoying, maybe giving them attention is also bad?

That seems to be the consensus ITT.

I feel like the TC is more upset about what she said over Abby being upset over Ghostbusters lol.

It's just annoying when she reveals her true goal with statements like this. She never once said that she liked the movie, so I would bet high stakes that she has never seen it. Yet she was mad when she heard it because she was into the idea it represented.

that's because you want to discredit the concept and so you'll accept any definition that let's you do that. but if you've ever derived satisfaction from a character you control in a game growing stronger/more powerful, you've indulged in a power fantasy.

Too much to expect an adult reaction like: well, 2016 didn't do well, I guess too many of us let it down by not seeing it, and vilifying old fans didn't help. It makes sense they'd go another direction.

The amount of gas-lighting going on ITT is disgusting, and not helped out by the mods egging it on. Not really surprised though...
