The other day I was scrolling through Facebook, and I saw that the trailer for the new "Ghostbusters" movie had been released. Now, I'm not one of those people who has a strong opinion on this new "Ghostbusters" revival either way. The original "Ghostbusters" hasn't been a huge part of my life, and I'm not much for reviving a franchise just for revivals sake. More on that later. For now, I want to talk about something more pressing.

Being a feminist, I have been intrigued to see that the new "Ghostbusters" team is all female. Don't get me wrong, I do think that it's very gimmicky and that one of the main reasons they chose an all female cast was to draw in the people who would go and see it solely for that reason. I'm also not someone who will say "Any female representation is good representation," because that's just not the case. I have, however, been anxious to see how they would approach it.

I clicked on the video, just to see how this reboot was shaping up so far. I watched it through a couple of times to solidify my thoughts. There were some things wrong with it. The CGI was alright at best, though most are complaining about how bright the ghosts are which I don't mind. The jokes were a bit predictable, though they was harmless enough. One of the main problems I had with the trailer itself was that it looks like Leslie Jones' character is feeding into an "urban" woman of color stereotype, though she defended that choice, so more power to her I suppose.

Then, I did something I never should have done. I violated the number one rule of the internet and I looked at a YouTube comments section. That's when my blood started to boil. I was filled with an unholy rage that I hadn't felt in a while. Here are some lovely screenshots to show exactly what made me so angry.

Isn't it great? There are legitimately people who hate this movie simply because there are female characters. A group of "man babies" as I like to call them, and women defending them (which breaks my heart the most), are angry simply because women are invading the "masculine" space that is "Ghostbusters."

If these people were digging any deeper for reasons why they didn't like this film (which they haven't even seen yet), I wouldn't have a problem. I have seen rants about why this film is doing the "Ghostbusters" name a disservice that had nothing to do with the female characters that I almost totally agree with. Everyone is obviously entitled to their opinion, and some just don't like this reboot for a multitude of well thought out reasons.

Then, there are people out there who aren't angry about things they should be critical about. They aren't critiquing the unoriginality of Hollywood recycling plots. They aren't saying that the technical aspects or writing for this film could be so much better. They don't have a problem with studios giving women mediocre characters and marketing them as strong female leads. They don't point out that "Ghostbusters" fans probably deserve more.

They are simply offended that a females are in this space period. That they aren't "attractive" enough to look at for a few hours, even though it was totally okay for the original "Ghostbusters" team to represent average looking males.

As a female who plans to go into the film industry, this is heartbreaking. I know that not everyone I work with is going to have this mindset, and most probably won't. However, the fact that there are still people who think this way is saddening. I hope to be of a generation of females in the film industry that do amazing work, continue to stand up for themselves and make a space where women can thrive in film and can't be ignored. So in hindsight, thank you YouTube commenters, for reminding me why I do what I do.
