>“I refuse to watch it,” he said, sitting with his rimless glasses amid a gumball machine, “Star Trek” memorabilia and bookcases stacked with old VHS tapes.
>Next, I sent him an email. I wanted to know what he made of the furor. His response was astonishing. He was offended by some of the blowback — because, as he wrote in an email, it seemed to him that those angry over his video “have not watched it, or have been misquoting me or twisting my words.”

>When finally coaxed to the phone, Mr. Rolfe, who works from his East Coast home, did not want to talk about his “Ghostbusters” video, saying he thought it spoke for itself, and he didn’t want to address the fallout. “When people attack me, it’s always about trying to get a reaction,” he said.

No there aren't, what the fuck? He only mentioned the fact that it stars women once, and that was to say that the gender doesn't matter.

>YOU SHOULDNT JUDGE THINGS YOU HAVE NOT EVEN WATCHED, JAMES ROLFE!
I cannot understand this statement that all the Ghostbusters 2016 defenders are using against AVGN and other haters of this new movie.
You HAVE to judge movies during a trailer. That is the point of fucking trailers, because in order to see the movie, you have to PAY for a ticket. What the Ghostbuster 2016 defenders are saying is "YOU CAN ONLY COMPLAIN ABOUT GHOSTBUSTERS 2016 AFTER YOU HAVE PAID $15 TO SEE IT"
What the fuck bullshit argument is that? Giving money to the people who made the thing you are being critical about is the only way to complain, otherwise you are being an asshole?
fucking retarded

How are they mad at this man? When he's not doing the Angry Nerd bit James is the least offensive man I've seen on youtube. You would think they would pick a video that was at least actually sexist. Why are they so determined to put James on the chopping block?

We've in the age of instant communication, a trailer is not advertisment anymore it's something that is part of the entire packaging that a franchise is. so if you are not on board the hype train from the trailer,you are missing out. And in this case, it's wrong to be missing out because reasons.

Robert Lewis
Basically people think shit like this is important enough to make such a huge fuss about when, in truth, it isn't. Humanity is pure garbage and the whole planet would be better off if we were all wiped out.
William Hill
Because they want to make sure people know that if you're not fully embracing and spouting their rhetoric, you're a potential target. Even if you're the most mild, non-threatening person, if you have a different opinion than the SJWs, they'll go after you. They want to suppress speech and all dissidents, until everyone agrees that women are superior, there are an unlimited amount of genders, pedophilia and bestiality are fine and not race mixing is a crime, and anyone who dares disagree will be shot in the back of the head.
Juan Harris
yeah, so it seems, poor cinema industry today >sniff
Christian Watson
it wouldn't be too bd if the studios themselves weren't trying to play into it even when they don't really know how. the best thing they could do for standalone movies (which are a dying notion for mainstream/pop movies anyway) is to let it all be and not try to fit the expectations and demands of an audience that is never satisfied.
