| ==Hospital visit==
| |
| In August [[2015]], in order to [[Shameless Self Promotion|promote]] the movie or something, the Fembusters visited the pediatric cancer ward at Tufts Medical Center in [[Boston]], in complete [[Cosplay|costume]]. Appropriate, given that the movie is the embodiment of [[cancer]]. There were tons of photo-ops with kids (who were like 30 years from their parent's [[condom]] breaking, or daddy "forgetting" to pull out in time, when the original movie came out, so they totally got the reference), including this one here, which was [[DELETE FUCKING EVERYTHING|deleted]] from Facebook for [[Damage control|some reason]]. Actually, let's take a look at it:

| | |
| This attempt to capitalize on the misery of sickened children couldn't have been better illustrated by any image than the one above. Anyways, it happened, and 4chan went on a field day with memes and shit, as old media [http://www.eonline.com/news/682593/people-are-mad-the-ghostbusters-cast-visited-a-hospital-because-apparently-helping-sick-kids-is-a-bad-thing tried to spin it as misogyny] {{archive|35XZ9}} instead of incompetence, and Tufts scrambled to [[deleted|remove]] the image [[Streisand Effect|from their social media accounts]] in order to mitigate any HIPAA violations (and to cover the tracks of whatever [[Bureaucratic fuck|hospital administrator]] allowed this possibly criminal invasion of a public hospital).

| | |
| But hey, at least it looks like the kids had a good time, and that's all that matters, right?

| ==Ghostbusters fan day at Sony HQ==
| |
| On March 2nd, 2016, one day prior to the actual official release of the Fembusters trailer, Sony held a Ghostbusters [[Brainwashing|fan-appreciation event]] at the official Sony Studio Lot. Here gathered were a ton of vocal Ghostbusters fans for drinks and photos and whatever, culminating with the first look at the Fembusters trailer. Take a look at some excerpts of the event:

| [[File:Fembusters-shills.png|201px|right|thumb|"If you providing a standing ovation, you will be entered into a drawing to win a free PS4!"]]As anyone with two braincells to rub together can easily surmise, this "fan-appreciation event" really wasn't actually about showing ANY appreciation for their fans, but was instead a one-dimensional attempt by Sony to manipulate the opinions of normies, skeptical nerds, or anyone else watching the video of the event. Because if those hard core Ghostbuster fans say they liked the trailer, then the Ghostbusters franchise is in "good hands", right? I mean, I CAN trust their opinions, riiiight??
| |
| | |
| In fact, just watch the various other videos of the fan-appreciation event, and count how many times someone says something like:
| |
| * "the franchise is in good hands; they honored its legacy"
| |
| * "it exceeded my expectations"
| |
| * "I've waited years for this"
| |
| * "I was in tears"
| |
| | |
| In other words, that fan-appreciation event was nothing more than the latest entry from Sony's propaganda machine, which is only made all the more obvious with the near universal despise of the Fembusters trailer, which is completely in spite of all the positive praise for the trailer at the event. You'll never see as much shilling for one idea outside of North Korea. In fact, don't be surprised if someone posts on /tv/ or reddit that they were hired by Sony to be a "fan" at the event, just to pad things up a bit.
| |
| | |
| But, hey, maybe that's all just a gross exaggeration. Perhaps this IS just genuine fan worship of the franchise, right? It's just a coincidence that everyone literally says the same things when interviewed! They're TOTALLY not on Sony's payroll!! We'll find out when the movie is finally release and the 25% review on Rotten Tomatoes come in.
