Not long now friends. The post mortem op eds are going to be glorious.
John Butler
James is a cunt but also more internet famous than comicbookgirl21, so Sony targeted him and plebs fell for the meme anti-woman backlash
Sebastian Anderson
I am not even complaining about having females in this reboot: I am complaining about how fucking cheap and fake this reboot looks. They just do not care at all to make the ghosts look scary or realistic like they did in the 1984 movie. Instead they have decided to fill the movie with heaps of cringey dialogue, bad acting, fart jokes, making it seem like the studio who made Epic Movie is directing this and that this reboot is a parody of itself.
Is Sony really that dumb do not see just how fucking stupid this movie is?
Isaac Wood
>could have ignored it and let it flop and fade away >instead sperg out driving publicity making people want to see it just to feel progressive
played right into sonys hands. its sony so its gonna be shit anyway.

Even the NYT had an article recently slamming Rolfe.

>tfw Feig could have gotten the original cast back including Ramis before his death and shot a Ghostbusters 3, but instead decided to can the project and make this reboot which writes out the old movies from being canon youtube.com/watch?v=ve88BGz0nPc
it was funny how they all pilled on Rolfe since they fucking despise actual nerds, even though he just plays a nerd character and is actually a turbo normie irl with a wife and kid
Ryan Sanchez
Shitlord, go crawl back into your cave.
Jaxson Long
Bill Murray is who you should be blaming for no Ghostbusters 3.
If I remember right from the leaked emails Feig just wanted an all girls super hero movie. Sony just slapped GB on top of the project cause the property was gatherimg dust.

Carter Russell
When my mom first heard of this reboot, she groaned and complained about Hollywood.
As more advertising has come out, she actually wants to see it now because she likes Melissa McCarthy, lol.
This was never about the cast. It was about the shit writing and idiot director.

Is there any 34 of them yet? Preferably with hairy pits and everything else?
Oliver Hill
No this video is terrible because it doesn't adress the main problems with this movie
>shitty dialogue >shitty acting >shitty CGI whilst the 1980's CGI looks 100% more realistic and the ghosts more realistic The main reasons this movie is getting hate has nothing to do with the main actors all being female - which is what this video is assuming is the ONLY criticism.
Resident Evil, Aliens - all these movies that have strong female characters are movies I love and enjoy as a male because they are perfectly made whilst this Ghostbusters reboot is a fucking parody of itself
David Foster
>which is what this video is assuming is the ONLY criticism.
well yeah... the "parody" video is doing the same thing Sony is doing, thats the point.
Christopher Hall
You realize Sony and their shills are spinning this into a sexism thing right, which is why people are so pissed off.
They didn't pull this kind of thing for other reboots which were also called shit and quietly died off
Andrew Hernandez
>Resident Evil That is a shit franchise. Fuck that mary sue, Alice shouldn't even exist
James Torres
They don't actually have to spin anything. There actually are a lot of sexist attitudes happening and instead of all the other people who hate the movie distancing themselves from it, they're doubling down on it and pretending it doesn't happen and that there is some big conspiracy against them. No one fucking cares that you don't want to see the movie. All this drama ironically just plays in Sony's favor.
JUST FUCKING IGNORE IT
Gavin Sanders
How is it that Sony is simultaneously the savior of video games and the cancer of movies?
Colton Cooper
Sony's video games are made in Japan, a classic patriarchal culture that values hard work, discipline, and personal responsibility. Sony's movies are made in the US, an overfeminized regressive state that values entitlement, emotionality, and self-victimization. Spot the difference yet?
Caleb Martin
You are wrong. Alice and Resident Evil are some of the best things that have come out of the movie industry
Grayson Jenkins
You seemed to have missed the point.
Ignoring it isn't going to fucking work if Sony is deliberately going to push the sexist narrative anyway.
What you're asking for is LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE.

You are still amplifying it. And yes there are a lot of sexist comments being made (such is the nature of the internet) and your claims of "we're not actually sexist" are being lost in the noise.
>they're pushing the sexist narrative! Literally no one who matters cares. This is nothing but noise. It does not affect the lives of grown adults.
Christopher Garcia
user, look at that image. That is a man who didn't say one sexist thing about the movie getting shit on by news sites and getting called sexist anyway. A video that should only been relevant to his fans ended up in shit like the New York Times.
They're forcing this as hard as they can
Brandon Carter

Clickbait gonna clickbait. Stop feeding them.
As for James Rolfe, I doubt it was his intention but it did seem like someone trying to throw more fuel on the fire of what was already a ridiculous blown-out-of-proportion internet drama.
Cameron Sanders
So. Fucking. What.
Seriously. SO WHAT.
He's a nerd who makes youtube videos. He has MILLIONS of subscribers. He has put himself in the public arena. He's a public figure, that means people can say things about him, even stupid shit. It comes with the job. Did he lose his job because some illusory SJWs or "sony shills" said mean things about him? No. He's a big boy. He's doing just fine. This isn't a "war" we need to fight. Seriously, for fuck's sake, GO OUTSIDE, breathe some fresh air, THIS SHIT DOESN'T MATTER IN THE REAL WORLD.

Noah Robinson

No, it is not "my logic" that every post on this site is meaningless and thus the site shouldn't exist. It is "my logic" that there's a significant difference between the type of interesting, stimulating, or at least mildly amusing discussion that's possible (from time to time) on this site, and the type of shrieking, saber-rattling call to fight the invisible war that exists in your imagination as a product of your own insecurities and lack of world experience. That kind of shit can go. The rest can stay.

sony knows this movie is garbage, they planned the sexism card.
when the trailer debuted Sony deleted constructive criticisms of the film and left all the sexism comments alone.
Caleb Gray
p.s. here a video explaining what happened back in may when the first trailer debuted.
no because for all we who posted valid criticisms that were deleted know, Sony could have been seeding in the sexist comments themselves. Does that sound so much more outlandish a thing than deleting comments from people who have millions of dollars riding on it?
Ryder Myers
>which writes out the old movies from being canon
No it doesn't. Nobody is going to forget the originals and it's not as if GB is known for its deep lore to begin with. And if you're going to be that autistic about it just do what capeshit does and say it's a different Earth.
Dylan Hughes
Sony has probably invested millions or hundred of millions in the Ad Campaign just to try to appeal to young women to hate Rolfe and then try to bring back males.
There's no way this movie is going to give them the profit they want to fix their financial hole they made.
And guess what will happen to the stars? They will complain and fuss and Sony won't back them as they have already spent too much already.
The long run for this movie is going to be much sweeter than the first day/week of its release, Star Trek will release the following week, crushing whatever hopes Sony has for Ghostbusters
Liam Diaz
>guy says something sexist >everybody knows he's an asshole, I don't have to verbally disagree with him and give him more attention >internet responds by criticizing all "white male nerds" Uh fuck you.

Luke Adams
Sony has always been an evil, shit company. This is nothing new.
They spit in the faces of consumers just to get attention. They pay people to shill on social media, and to pick fights with normies on fakebook. There's nothing this sleazy company won't do to sell their shit films and products.
Aiden Ross
They do. My old friend I recently met up with is in a whole flock. They're like living parodies.

Apparently the entire plot was ruined by one of the toys that was released for the film.
Ryder Moore
>Feig just wanted an all girls super hero movie.
Which Ghost busters isn't. Tonally it's all wrong to treat it like a super hero film. It's part starting a business, then end of the world. The guys are just very average, and totally overwelmed by the situations. They're not super cool super heroes.
Jackson Russell
I meant the text, but I definitely have that fetish.

Ethan Wood
I like the idea of spoiler bombing this movie. It's not something I would normally myself do because it's kind of a dick move, but I hope other people do because it will piss off the paid Sony shills. Then they won't want to bump topics and pick fights just to keep topics related to this story in the limelight.
Hunter Long
It was deleted, but I found this and it is what was said in the original post.
I will guarantee that the people that complain the hardest about how Ghostbuster fans are sexist will not see the movie. It's a common SJW trope at this point. They did it with comic books, they did it with video games, they tried doing it with tabletop games, I actually saw them try to do it with software development(every Ruby developer is an insufferable hipster faggot) and now it's movies. They just want to complain. They won't actually financially support the thing they are trying to defend.
Wyatt Johnson
>sexism exists so therefore everyone who left a negative comment on the Ghostbusters video is sexist!
Paul, you're not fooling anyone.
Jaxon Gray
>feminist agenda I hope you realize how this attitude looks to normies. This is why you're losing.
