From a Neutral on the whole New Ghostbusters Movie: Even if The Movie is Good, I Won’t Give Money To Douchebags. GethN7 Follow May 20, 2016 · 2 min read

As someone who seen this trainwreck that is the lead up to the new Ghostbusters movie and how everyone defending it is heaping scorn on its detractors, I’ve come to a conclusion.

Maybe it’s not the detractors who suck, at least, not those who have legitimate good faith reasons to not like what they’ve seen in the trailers. Maybe it’s not the actors who suck, at least not insofar as people, though their ability to act is something anyone who has seen their acting has every right to judge.

However, I can say with absolute certainty what does suck.

The scumbags and pissants heaping abuse on people who don’t like what they’ve seen so far.

I say this as someone who has been, and still is, apathetic to watching the new movie. The first Ghostbusters is a classic, but I don’t get the urge to rewatch it constantly. The second wasn’t as good, but had its moments, and the third isn’t out yet so I’m still reserving judgement, but even if it turns out to be awesome, it still does not diminish the fact the people defending it are assholes, shoveling hate and derision on all their critics and insisting all their critics are bad faith critics and only women hating bastards could ever hate the movie.

Well, the movie IS NOT OUT YET, so I’m sure that doesn’t apply to me, but I can say I refuse to put money in the pockets of the shitheads and jackasses calling anyone who disagrees with them even worse, even if the movie does turn out to be good, because I don’t believe in rewarding a strawmaker who’s an asshole, even if they do manage to produce gold from it.

And to reiterate, I still have a neutral opinion on the movie itself, but it’s white knights can kiss my ass if they are going to be bigger dicks than their supposed enemies.
