Oh yeah, forgot about that one. Didn’t even realize it had come out yet but it’s been out for a year. I’d love to play it but yeah, lots of hurdles.

Neat. Shoot me a link when you’re done; I’d like to read it.
It’s a fun idea so I may do my own at some point, time permitting.

“7 of the first 10 results on Google either bluntly state that the backlash is because of misogyny, or at least suggest it by speaking about the criticism in terms of misogyny and nothing else.”
Examining the misogynistic elements that unarguably exist is not stating that every piece of criticism of the film’s marketing is based in misogyny.

MechaTama31,
“Just google “ghostbusters misogyny” for examples.”
Okay. Best I can find is one article from a site I’ve never heard of with the title: “All-Female Ghostbusters Trailer Most Disliked in YouTube History Because of Misogyny”Which, if you read the article, is clearly not suggesting that you’re a misogynist for disliking the film’s marketing.
“As for the Ivan Reitman stuff, here’s a writeup:”
I read the emails and don’t see agree with your assessment.But, whatever. If the conversations surrounding the film have put you off seeing it, that’s fine. Can’t think of examples right now but I know there’s been stuff I’ve skipped just because I was so tired of hearing about it. All I ask is you refrain from accusing people of saying things they’ve clearly never said.

“Pretty reflective of every article and quote I’ve seen on the topic.”
Where the hell are you getting your news from? Literally no one behind the movie is claiming that anyone is a misogynist for not liking the film’s advertising. As for people not behind the movie? I’m sure there are random, mostly anonymous, numbnuts on Twitter, Reddit, YouTube and the like saying such stupid nonsense but even so, I have literally never heard anyone utter anything along those lines.Got some articles or quotes you’d like to share?
“The way they treated Ivan Reitman was pretty shitty, too (from the leaked/hacked e-mails floating around).”
What are you talking about?Andrew Eisen
“But the torrent of shit from the people behind the movie, to the effect of ‘Fuck everybody who doesn’t like the trailers, they’re just a bunch of misogynists…’”
Not even remotely reflective of what the team behind the film has said. Come on, MechaTama. You’re better than this.Andrew Eisen
Probably didn’t clarify as such (although I did say something about looking up the Simulation Theory on Wiki for those interested) as it didn’t occur to me that anyone would think this was a new idea 15 years after the extraordinarily popular The Matrix.

“Elon Musk is actually far from the first to come up with the possibility that we might all be living in a simulation.”
Hopefully we didn’t give the impression that this idea was a Musk original.

We probably could but we have an idea for a show title that we think encapsulates what we’re trying to do (and isn’t already in use by anyone else). Hopefully all our viewers think it’s a nifty name too!
