Voat is full of hypocrites. Hating on Holywood and EA and all other mass producers of "entertainment", but they're always willing to give the (((entertainment))) companies another chance. And another. And another.
"I paid to watch the movie just to prove that it was terrible" or "Battlefield 1-16 were terrible, but I've heard good things about version 17, so I'm willing to give it a chance to redeem itself. Don't forget to install some spyware!"

I think the new Ghostbusters should be all Asians, and instead of busting ghosts, they bust the cockroaches at their restaurants.
I wish I could agree with you, but the nerdy tribe they're trying to appeal to this time, admittedly my tribe, we're a thirsty bunch. It's a mentality that's very reactive. Someone promising to not just a halt to the endless stream of corporate PC piss, but some actual love? They play the marketing right, keep aggroing the harpies, and it'll draw even if it turns out to be a total sellout..

There's a fair chance this is all marketing bullshit trying to charm the fans they pissed off back into the fold. They may or may not mean what they claim, though if I had to gamble I'd put my money on this just being meaningless happy noises meant to unpoison the well. My take isn't skip the movies, it's ignore the critics because they're all corporate. Don't go in the first two weeks. Wait until there's a verdict on if the damn movie is actually worth your resources.
The fact they're trying this charm offensive at all IS generating backlash from the noisy social-media yeastgarglers, though. The two states are not mutually exclusive.

It would work for me. If they completely ignore SJW's and make a movie that makes a racist joke, has a sexy woman acting feminine, and is otherwise irreverent and entertaining I'll buy my first movie ticket in many years.

There's no way of knowing if this is true, it could be nothing more than the advertisement campaign for the movies that you're sharing.

For all we know the libtards don't really care, we'll see in the upcoming years.
I actually didn't mind the most recent ghostbusters, it could have been a good movie if they didnt go full retard on the advertisement and propaganda.

Let's see. Break even is @ $300 million. "As of Aug. 7, Ghostbusters had earned just under $180 million at the global box office, including $117 million domestic." A second grader could do the math. Feminists lose.
