>otherwise mediocre reboot caused a reaction so bad it helped kick-start the gamergate movement which raped the internet so badly that it's effects are felt even here to this dayHow did they do it?
>>220585840qrd?
>>220585840I miss the days when you could actually use the comment section on articles. I wonder if younger people even realize that used to be a thing?
>>220585840Pretty sure gamergate precedes the ghostbusters/last jedi debacle by several years.
>>220586160Gamergate itself was precipitated by the atheist/"rational skeptic" sphere getting split along the lines of feminism
>>220585852When this movie came out it was like 9/11 for anti-sjw content creators online. Alongside reactions to figures like Anita Sarkeesian the reactions to this movie kickstarted a lot of people's careers and leaked the gamergate movement into the mainstream. Gamergate is why the culture war is so bad, it's the reason why algorithms on popular online platforms are so geared towards ragebait, it's the reason why the right in its current form is different from the right of your parent's and grandparent's generations. The rampant /pol/tardism you see on this site would not exist without it.
they didn't, that isn't true
I decided to watch this movie, it's like a long SNL skit. I don't understand why the reaction was so bad, it's not good, but it's not groundbreakingly bad either.
>>220586450>it's like a long snl skit>b-but it's not so badNigga you need to start making sense. NOW.
>>220586160Gamergate has probably existed since about 2013, but reviews to things like Ghostbusters 2016 brought it into mainstream YouTube
>>220586485I'm just saying it wasn't bad enough to warrant the reaction it had. It's forgettable, at least Steven universe was a fun shitshow
This was 2016. The gamergate or more broadly the anti-SJW movement had been going for at least three years at this point.
>>220586500gamergate has existed since the very specific event that is referred to as gamergate
>>220586450>>220586485Impossible to argue with a stranger with no standards, anon.
>>220585882I miss when you could say slurs basically everywhere, and people thought you were a pussy if you suggested anything should be censored.
>>220586226no that was atheism plus, which isn't the quinnspiracy or gamergate
>>220586380Blaming "gamergate" for anything is midwittism. Gamergate was only ever a reaction to people who showed up to our spaces, and started poking us.The initial requests were quite simple. Just "leave us alone, and we'll leave you alone", and "if racism and sexism are bad, I don't think you should be racist and sexist against white men". And then the seethe started.>well you should have known not to engage with crazy peopleHow could we have known how crazy they were? People kind of thought the world was sane, back in like 2010. People thought you could reach other people through a reasonable attitude and a good argument.
>>59484314
>>220585840It started the trend of blaming internet sexists every time a girl power movie flopped. Never mind that women didn’t bother to see the movie either. I did see the movie with my mother because she liked the actresses. The theater was almost empty save for some sad middle aged people. I was probably the youngest there by 20 years. You can’t blame the chuds for that.
>>220585840>mediocre reboot caused a reaction so bad it helped kick-start the gamergate movementNo, Ghostbusters was in 2016 and Gamergate was in 2014 and even before that you had like Anita Sarkeesian in 2012. If anything all this stuff has its roots in Occupy Wall Street back in 2011 which pushed what we now know as wokeness into the mainstream after it has been festering in the education system for years.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W81A1kTXPa4
>>220586570>can't say slursYou can. If you're white you can earn thousands of dollars by saying nigger.
>>220587501>Imma cherry pick this one absurd half-made up example to suggest that the most absurd thing is true even though it's the literal opposite of reality
>>220588488A dude who literally calls himself "Chud" is shooting black people for content.
>>220588518Shooting as in with bullets? Proof?
>>220586802This is true and should be forgotten.The race bait tactics and division sowing from the main stream media and the goverments is 100% a reaction to the Occupy movement.
>>220588582Should *NOT be forgotten.
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING
>>220585840I just watched a documentary on the G4 reboot disaster where that ugly woke bitch screamed at viewers,>"I'm not here to be your pin up girl! Neither was Munn or the other sexy chick that had my job!"
>>220588810>documentaryCritical Drinker isn't a documentarian, lmao.
>>220586640>Gamergate was only ever a reaction to people who showed up to our spaces, and started poking us.This mentality is what is wrong with gamers. Gamergate was an opportunity by true feminists to analyze people like you who justify the severe backlash for being "poked". No one who sent a harassing comment did it for the first time in gamergate. Yet no one took a step back and asked, how toxic are these communities to begin with that gamers didn't even hesitate to do this? No one cares about men. They'll get told to kys, virgin, incel, loser, loner, ugly, fat, you can say all this stuff all day long to men and no one cares, it's normal. Say it to one woman and it becomes a big deal. The toxicity became so normalize that men still say "that's why you get". Men deserve better, but it is also their job to step up and say so and be better, and not be you.
>gamers think the world revolves around themit's an online flame war, not a social movement.
>>220586772There's so much that goes into the social norms and then people looking for movies they connect with. No one ever bothered to ask if girls have friend groups anymore and if a ghost hunting movie was something they wanted. Even pre-covid gen z having friend groups was on the decline. So who are you selling this movie to? The older gen like your mom. Which doesn't go to movies as often. It's baffling these billion dollar companies don't understand this.
>>220589126Billion dollar companies aren't known for being in touch with general audiences, no one likes SNL even then
>>220589046it's true what they say, leftist cultists can't exist without lying. you do it as easily as breathing.totally warped, and what's more you know you're lying and continue doing it.the idea of 'possession' makes sense, it's freak jobs like you that allow evil, lies and corruption of every kind to pour through you on a daily basis, all while pretending innocence.how many mental illnesses have you or can you be diagnosed with? there's your clue.you know the truth, but it is something you will never speak
>>220588810
>>220585840What gamer gate are on now? Every couple years is another one. You had og five guys, I refuse no review, sweet baby, every walking simulation sucked off by corpo reviews, Harry potter legacy killing all the trannies, etc. Will it only be a true gamer gate when trump tweets it?
>>220588643The moment we knew James was 'the guy'. I saw the movie back in 2016. It was a cluster fuck of unfocused writing and weird improve. The female cast was not really the problem. It was a poorly executed Ghostbusters reboot that only helped elevate the second movie, which I always thought was pretty middling. Ghostbusters is just one of those movies where the original film will always be the best one.
>>220585840Is this the worst movie in history?I personally love how these liberal sodomites and dykes think anyone outside their fake and gay and forced bubble would ever find girl-power™ movies in anyway interesting whatsoever
>>220585840> it helped kick-start the gamergate movement Goobergate existed a full 3 years before this movie, are you a 16 year old spouting what you saw in a YouTube doc?
>>220590260might be a bot or a false-concern leftist from plebbit trying to weave a retroactively changed narrative as they often try to do.see >>220586380 which is probably op or one of his ascendants and is clearly a leftist commie/feminist
>>220585840>it helped kick-start the gamergate movementGamerGate was like two years before this movie, retard.
>>220585840this is an interesting case of an actual brigading being so blatant and openly supported by hollywood industry types, including the director himself. and no one apologized save for patton oswalt in the end, and only after being poked and proded at. and probably after getting walloped by a thousand dead wife jokes
>>220586554not sure why this latest psyop is trying to rewrite a fairly straightforward event.
>>220588518The fuck are you on about?
>>220589046>people like youit said, spitting bile.just admit what you are, give a profile and for the first time in your life try to be honest. you can switch back to lying immediately afterwards, if you even know the difference anymore
>>220590333ww2 acherly helped kick-start ww1
>>220589740did Patton Oswalt ever apologize?
This is an actual article written by a "professional" journalist.
>>220590613
>>220590613>mad baby man detectedyou mad baby man. because you mad baby man, baby man mad. you mad thumbs down baby man mad. baby man mad.you mad baby man, mad baby man mad.
>>220589740It's amazing how well James was able to take the moral high ground in this moment, even the most die hard internet feminists couldn't paint him as a chud like they wanted to.
>>220590709Literally all he said was "this doesn't look good so I'm not seeing it"
>>220590709>>220589740now I'm going to have to find it and watch it and I can't stand talking head interneters in general.doubt 'll make it through the whole 140 hour long video, but if I hear anything in the three and a half minutes I skim through, I'll come back and agree a decade after the fact.
>>220585840Gamergate was two years before that, zoomer.
>>220588810>"Morgan Webb and Olivia Munn didn't exist to be easy on the eyes for you..."Yes...that was literally their job. Do you think the bitch who hosted "Cheat!" always wore insanely short skirts because it was fun? Fuck no, it's because she had incredible legs, and horny dorks like me would stop on the channel while she was on.
The people who made it specifically said it wasn't for men and they didn't want men watching it. They got what they wanted.
