Trolls take issue with Ocean’s 8 ( Pictures: REX Features)

With the news that an all-female cast will be leading the Ocean’s 8 remake, angry Ocean’s 11 fans have been complaining about it online.

Suicide Squad is not as sexist as critics want you to think

They created the hashtag #FeministAMovie as a way of protesting the reported casting of Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Sandra Bullock, Mindy Kaling, Nora Lum and Helena Bonham-Carter in the second reboot of the original 1960 film.

Because, after decades of male-led movies with women in reductive roles, it’s not fair that Hollywood is producing female-led remakes.

Most of the trolls tweeting #FeministAMovie posts have used stereotypical jokes about hairy armpits, men-hating, over-weight women, to make their point.


Some of the tweets under #FeministAMovie r disgusting & reinforce the fact that #feminism is needed; we have so far to go. But we will win. — Pamela C (@FeministaPamela) August 11, 2016

The feminists soon took over the #hashtag though
