Waste your money propping up this piece of shit movie out of spite.

It's like whatever they do, we win. Either the movie flops hard, or feminists and cucks waste their money on a shitty movie and it still flops hard. It's not like there's enough of them to make much of a dent.

When I went to see XMEN Apocalypse, they played the ghostbusters trailer. The audible groans from the people in the theatre speak volumes.

People can't even stomach the trailer, let alone have the urge to go see the movie in its entirety.

I get the feeling this is going to be one of those movies where people just get up and leave, once they've realised that it is indeed that bad. And word of mouth spreads like wildfire, people will tell their friends/family how terrible it is, they tell their friends/family and so on.

It was destined to flop from the moment that trailer went public.

They say "no publicity is bad publicity", but I don't think that's quite true. There's the bad publicity that comes out of controversy, that excites people and arouses their curiosity, and then there's the kind that reveals a weak thing for what it is. Feminists wish that it's the former, but it's the latter. Nobody out there is going "oh wow, they dared to make the ghostbusters female, this is so TABOO I'm going to sneak out and watch this movie despite my conservative white republican anti-gay christian parents telling me no". It's just not happening. The status quo is not controversial or taboo. The movie just looks like shit, and not even the "so bad it's good" kind of shit. When it comes time for people to make a decision on what to spend their money on, they'll go see something else, because they want something enjoyable.
