I agree that the outrage about that movie was completely blown out of proportion. I didn't watch it and it was probably just a mediocre remake like many others.
It was supposed to have mainstream appeal, and getting riled up because of a female cast is really not fair. However I do understand that the original cast was one of the main components of the original movie and a drastic change like this won't be appreciated by some fans of the original movie.
Just give women original roles in movies, instead of forcing them into these established roles. The main protagonist of “Rogue One“ for instance is female and did a great job.
There appears to be a small group that blames white males for all their problems, which is picked up and amplified by the conservative media to support their claim to being the “real victim“.
