re: Has Rotten Tomatoes jumped the shark?...

there wouldn't be the minuscule amount of people that feel that way had the reaction to the cast not been filled w/such vitriol.

A dislike of the cast selection was labeled "misogyny". There's no winning here, and it's why I don't like it. It's apparently not possible to dislike the movie for reasons other than misogyny, and this is the heart of the entire problem. It's why the "stick it to men" group popped up, you're right. You're just not correct in saying misogyny prompted the outcry. There are other female actors more appropriate and add to it that Sony is notorious for trying to squeeze money out of a movie based on name alone.

Only because of the original movies was the Ghostbusters base mostly male, and no one can change that, and male nerds are a new sjw target, just look at the uproar in the gaming industry about female inclusion. They knew exactly what they were doing, and they did it anyways, and the fan base is helpless because they liked a movie that was made 30 years ago, they can't change why they liked the movie because they can't change the movie itself.


If you have to say it's misogyny then you're adding nothing to this argument. Its a lazy cop out, and it's easy for you, so I get why you wouldn't look into other reasons, probably too much work and thought.
