The New Ghostbusters - Part 5

[Goshdarn Batman]

It's amazing how sensitive some people are. It's like they want to be offended.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Yup and I'll be sure to be around to give me earnest assertion.

You used "man face" and "lesbian looking one" to describe action figures based on female characters. That pretty much tells the story of what you are all about and what kind of person you are. At least own up to it instead of making all these excuses and being defensive for being called out on it (and you clearly ARE being defensive about it).

I'm not defensive, it's just ridiculous, to the point of comedy even, that I can be seen as a bad person because I actually said a lesbian actress with a traditionally lesbian look is - brace yourselves- lesbian looking. Nevermind the fact that no slurs or offensive language was used, saying a guy who looks like Cheech Marin is Mexican looking must be equally as egregious! Hey that lesbian looks like a lesbian, lock me up for hate speech.

Do you realize how stupid it is to be offended over me calling a lesbian playing an obvious lesbian character, the lesbian looking one? That's sensitivity that you can't even brush with Sensodyne. Ridiculous. How would you describe her character's persona from the visuals we have gotten? Especially considering that I knew she is a lesbian in real life. Why didn't they just let her keep long blonde hair if it was so terrible to deduce her character as a lesbian from her styling?

I was kidding around about Wiig's toy having a man face due to all the preceding baggage about the movie, partly some of which I've engaged in. I've always liked her and she's the only good cast member of the major four.

Please direct me to any rules I've broken for typing my opinion and not being put into submission by the Ultra Intolerant PC brigade

You ain't lie.


Please bro, the last couple pages tell me what have I done or said that is so offensive or hateful.

Poking fun of the facial features of TOYS based on likenesses. Since when has that been an internet sin?

Even when I DIDN'T make fun of one of them and referred to it as looking like the stereotypical appearance of what the actress herself identifies as, even that bothered some.

You really can't win with these people.

This cyber bullying stuff needs to go away. It's perfectly fine to dislike something, but when people get so offensive about a movie it baffles me beyond belief.

totally my point, if you dislike the movie, have some valid reasons

i have no interest in this movie and everything i find out this movie really annoys me as someone who grew up with the original movies,cartoons and video games.

I think if you complain about an all female team you will get called sexist or have the feminists on your back but it has always felt like a pointless marketing gimmick to me since if you are gonna remake ghostbusters then do it but don't use the gender of the ghostbusters team as an excuse
to do it especially when its not in the same universe as the original and you are still gonna use every bit of nostalgia from the original movie to help get people in seats

And these toys... whose are they aimed at? boys or girls? are they trying to replicate the success of the original movie with kids?

But saying that this film will do fine at the box office purely on curiosity and nostalgia and then they will make a sequel which will be the real test

Toys appeal to kids, that means both boys or girls

if my niece wants one, Ill get them for her...same with my nephew

 

[Broseph44]

To who exactly? You and some like-mided, Borg-minded comrades?

Excuse me for not being upset at that notion. I couldn't care less about you

Oh lord

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Oh Galactus, you come off worse and worse with each post.

Truer words have never been typed my friend.

 

[Galactus10]

"Look how tolerant and inclusive we are!! We love traditionally oppressed groups and hope to elevate them so all people are loved. Let's gang up on a guy with an opinion that differs from ours!"

Equality!

 

[TheCommissioner]

actually its more like "hey if youre going to dislike a movie, have a valid reason, not relying on cliched women hating behaviors and attitudes to do so"

 

[Sawyer]

"Look how tolerant and inclusive we are!! We love traditionally oppressed groups and hope to elevate them so all people are loved. Let's gang up on a guy with an opinion that differs from ours!"

Equality!

Yeah, you're right. It's totally because your opinion is different from ours. It totally has nothing to do with how gross and disrespectful those opinions were.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Exactly.

 

[Galactus10]

Do you know how many valid reasons have been stated here by a number of posters?

If you really don't think people haven't been giving valid reasons for BEING SKEPTICAL, not even disliking because afterall, how can you like or dislike a movie you haven't even seen a trailer for let alone the movie?

LOL this thread is littered with a bevy of legit reasons that the details don'r seem promising so far.

I do like the posters (the movie posters not you SJW posters) though.

 

[TheCommissioner]

oh isn't that cute? you think SJW is an insult

yes im a black man who wants everyone to have an equal shot at being liked or disliked

call me radical

 

[Snow Queen]

I don't like most of what I've heard about this movie but this thread makes me hope it's a smash hit critically and at the box office.

 

[Galactus10]

Yeah, you're right. It's totally because your opinion is different from ours. It totally has nothing to do with how gross and disrespectful those opinions were.

Find me an actual opinion that is GROSS.

All of my serious and earnest opinions from day one have been pretty level-headed, some just can't BEAR to read anything that doesn't fit their narrow and exclusive political viewpoints.

We had an amateur screenwriter, who obviously understand how to formulate an organic genuine story from the ground up, beautifully explain the issues people have with the entirety of this movie. Well from what we know about it so far

Even after flickchick kind of warned him in a way about the way he's speaking he's still going. It's ok I'm sure he'll continue and a mod will see he just won't stop and will have to take action if he can't be mature.

Well yea, when vainly prideful things like focusing more on gender, race, sexual orientation, creed, etc. just for stats overtake the foundation of making an organic movie than SJW is REALLY lame and should be seen as less than a compliment.

I'm here for movies, not people trumping up their personal politics over the greatness of cinema.


Cinema and Movie making supercedes ANY personal opinions and beliefs, mine included or else this would be a humanist or political website.

It's a movies website. The work comes first, not any one individual's personal insecurities

 

[TheCommissioner]

as long as women and minorities know their place right?

Yea I'm really breaking a lot of rules by defending myself and my position against a bunch of gang mob tyrants.

I wonder what my people in the ACLU would think of me being banned or disciplined for really doing nothing wrong but stating my piece?

They have told me many instances where they made stuff happen for seemingly even MORE petty and ridiculous reasons than this tripe

 

[TheCommissioner]

youre on a moderated forum that has rules and terms of service

if the mods deem youve violated those terms, you can be banned

the ACLU or whatever doesn't supercede that

 

[Galactus10]

You're really assuming a lot aren't you?

I'm no Republican or Conservative but now I moreso understand the Youtube Comments that always say, "Liberalism is a mental illness."

I always thought those types were pretty judgmental but now I see their point.

Many of you are VERY imbalanced and extreme in your perception of my comments through this whole thing.

Never once did I use a slur or hate rhetoric yet I'm receiving comments like I used evil terms or something

It's absurd


I'm out this ***** for now.

 

[Broseph44]

Spoke to someone about your behavior Galactus so we shall see But I guess you can't see this message since you're "out this ***** for now" Oh god the way you talk is too funny.
