>>104237025>Why the fuck do you still care about the Ghostbusters reboot?I don't, beyond the fact that it is without a doubt the most blatant and obvious example of execs trying to protect a brand by gaslighting critics as misogynistic nazi incels. It's a marketing tactic, and it's the same one they're applying via Meyer. Because of course, everyone not thrilled about comics nowadays is just like Meyer, right?
Right!
It was effective, too! There's an army of speds willing to choose a bad reboot as their hill to die on, and *critically,* it was well received! Shame it was still a fucking disaster otherwise and bombed regardless, but from a PR perspective it's effective and is done basically all the time.
>Ya know who handled that well? AVGN.You know who didn't handle that well? Everyone melting down over AVGN not being adequately thrilled about the Ghostbusters reboot. When you have people like Patton Oswalt trying to gaslight you as an incel because you calmly state that you just don't want to consume Sony Product #3562-B, you can't help but acknowledge that the situation has become irretrievably *fucked* re: brand management and the audience.
>I'm amazed people in CG compared themselves to GG, when their leader was just an Anita clone. But, like a retarded Anita clone.Basically. But these are people getting outplayed by a retarded Sarkeesian clone, somehow. It's like Mister Magoo is flailing around like a goddamn retard while a room full of mafiosos watch solemnly from a hidden camera and wonder "WHO IS THIS GODDAMNED MASTERMIND"
