I remember when it came out imdb deleted critical posts. Like Jones is not funny, but she is very racist.
It's because liberals feel they can do no wrong, so when someone points out their hypocrisy, they quickly cover their tracks and pretend it didn't happen.
The problem was never an 'all female' Ghostbusters, contrary to what the alt-right idiots were saying. The problem was a poor script, substandard direction, a complete lack of originality with everything from the ghosts to the film's marketing logo, and an overly absurd and goofy tone that failed to ground the supernatural theme in something approximating the real world, in contrast to the 84 and 89 films.
The first instinct of the far left is always to punch down. Leslie Jones is a multimillionaire. She used her privlidge to have basement dwelling critics deplatformed from twitter. Yet she will still always be the victim in your mind. No matter how bad the movie was, no matter how intentional it was.
"The first instinct of the far left is always to punch down"
What the heck are you talking about? That's the first instinct of the political right. For men to punch down at women. For white people to punch down at people of colour. For straight and cis people to punch down at the LGBTQ community. For the able-bodied and mentally well to punch down at the physically disabled and mentally ill. And, yes, for the rich to punch down at the poor.
None of those things you said even remotely factually represent society today. People lose their jobs and get death threats at even the smallest slight towards any if those groups you mentioned. Where have you been?
What dick move?.The movie was bad.She should own up to it like an adult and let people move on.Instead of childishly whining about it like it's the audiences fault that it was bad.
Maybe she should should recognize that her film lost money and is regarded in the industry as a bomb. Films like that typically don't get sequels, which is entirely sensible.
I rather like her, because all the worst assholes on the internet hate her. If you can judge people by the quality of their enemies, she's a wonderful human being!
No you don't think she's being a twerp. You're lying. You think she's being righteous. What did you expect by having her critics silenced? That she wouldn't be emboldened? They weren't criticizing her for no reason. You knew that.
Nobody gives a shit if it's all male cast or all female, it's not like 2016 GB is a cult favorite. When it's an all male or female cast people tend to make it a point but it was never a point in 1984/89.
