to be fair, you are kinda sorta supposed to defend your movie when you are doing the promotion in the run up to the release.
Defend it honestly then. It shouldn't be so socially acceptable to scream misogyny or racism to defend your shitty product.

screaming about how McCarthy is fat and should therefore shut up

MRA rage
Yes, that's what it is. It's those "MRA's" that men generally know nothing about and that no one I know or have heard of belongs to.

I'm confused. Aren't MRA groups mostly campaigning for things like equal legal treatment (e.g. access to their children after a divorce)? What would disliking Ghostbusters have to do with that?
Or is this just the intellectual equivalent of calling anyone you don't like a nazi or a communist?

Yes, I think a lot of it has to do with divorce and custody laws, but they've become the boogeyman for loons who call themselves "feminists" but who are really just crazy idiots who need an outlet.

I was pretty indifferent to this movie and I wasn't planning on seeing it but now after those fricktarded comments coming out of Melissa McCarthy's fat piehole, I hope this movie doesn't make a single cent at all.
Men make up half of the human population and you can't insult them when you need their money to be successful especially when you're not getting enough women for this shitty movie to be able to make a profit.
frick those SJW comments and frick her for saying that.

And it's total bullshite to the Ghostbusters fans as a whole as well. Let's compare this to Star Wars:
"Hey, fans have wanted to see female Jedi, and we've never had one of those, so let's do it."
"Fans want us to make up for having the Stormtroopers be Clone Troopers, so lets make one of them a main character to apologize for it."
"Well, we really fricked up Anakin in the prequels, so lets make the villain what Anakin should have been at the end of the prequels."
And compare this with Ghostbusters:
"You know what the fans want: Melissa McCarthy. Lets do some fat jokes with her."
"Wait a minute, you know what they'd love even more: Leslie Jones. A 50 year old black actress who was hired on SNL just for a diversity requirement. Let's do dumb black chick jokes."
Yeah, this is clearly what the fans were hoping for.

Was there a single line of dialogue? I can't remember, so I don't think that counts. I know of Ahsoka, but she wasn't in the films proper (when she should have been).

That's because they weren't straight-up comedies. They were dark comedies and were never meant to be laugh out loud hilarious from start to finish. And the first Ghostbusters film had a lot more horror elements then the second one did.
True. And for me, they fell into the "not funny enough for comedy, not serious enough for drama, not scary enough for horror" category. If this new one happens to be funny, then I'll be pleased.
