| [[File:Fembusters-30yearsAgo.png|200px|thumb|right|There are three things wrong with this statement]]
| |
| On March 3, 2016, the first official movie trailer for ''Fembusters'' was released. And guess what? It's total shit. Here, check it out for yourself.

| |
| * there's a "subtle" vagina joke
| |
| * a neon ghost appears on screen
| |
| * there's a call back to the original Ghostbusters
| |
| * there's a blatant rip off of the original Ghostbusters
| |
| * Patty acts like a stereotypical sassy black woman
| |
| * a lesbian actress licks a phallic object
| |
| * there is a clear indication that all of the actresses phoned in their performance
| |
| * you finally realize that Death's icy embrace is ultimately preferable to watching this movie

| Sony Pictures was SO hot on reusing older material for their movies, they even reused the trailer for ''Pixels'':

| [[File:Fembusters-boomMic.jpg|200px|thumb|right|GIRL POWER means that, no, there totally isn't a boom mic in those glasses, and pointing that out means you're sexist.]]Anyways, after the trailer was released, things happened the way you pretty much expected them to: the video was given more Downvotes than Upvotes (it's close to 7 downvotes for every 2 upvotes, and close to 1 million downvotes, making it the most downvoted trailer in YouTube history), people continued to shit on the movie and the trailer, Sony Pictures began to delete comments, and people within Sony are getting fired for failing to produce a viable product.

| | |
| [[File:Fembusters-youtubeLikes.gif|200px|right|thumb|Just watch that ratio spread farther and father apart...]]Or, ok, maybe not "fired", but, y'know... Sony Pictures Consumer Marketing Chief George Leon has "exited his post".
| |
| | |
| Anyways, despite the fact that it's pretty damn clear that nobody liked the trailer (and therefore, the movie), Sony Pictures refuses to accept that they've made a shitty movie which pissed off loyal Ghostbusters fans. Furthermore, it seems as if Sony Pictures has hired a social media engineering company to try to shift public opinion of the film. For example, they tried to stem the tide of negative downvotes for the trailer by organizing an Upvote campaign, (see related images to the right and below): as you can see, there was clearly an attempt to try to stuff the ballots in the hopes that maybe other people would catch on and "organically" Upvote the video through [[Jizz|osmosis]], but it obviously didn't work.
| |
| | |
| [[File:Fembusters-YTgraph.png|501px|center|thumb|This graph clearly shows that there was an organized a mass Like-vote campaign, but obviously it failed to gain traction.]]
| |
| | |
| Meanwhile, Feminist and SJW bloggers didn't want to accept that "their side" actually made a shitty product, and that critical reaction against ''Fembusters'' is clearly due to the content of its character and not their gender... so Feminists and SJWs worked their mental gymnastics overtime to try to find ANY justification for all the negative responses. And as you can imagine, the conclusion they reached was that male fans were being typical sexist, racist shitlord dudebros, as well as every other shallow excuse they could pull from out of their ass. This is because, as we all know, "gender equality" means that only men---and ''NEVER'' women---are capable of producing shitty stuff, and therefore any negative critical reaction against something that women have a significant role in is TOTALLY because those critics are ''infuriated'' that women would DARE enter a man's domain. (BTW, Stateville University's official Women-only [[Safe Space]] is open 24-7-365, and any male student attempting to illegally tresspass will be arrested.) Oh, wait, you say that Second-wave Feminism's fight for equality ALSO included a person's right to criticize a woman's efforts just as they would a man's? When did we agree to that? That would mean we can't play our Victim Card anymore!

| Wait, were half of these articles seriously written by [[cuck|white men]]? Why yes, yes they were. The name for this phenomenon is commonly known as [[Airport's Law]].
| |
| | |
| Sony Pictures caught on to this, and they too are blaming the failures of Fembusters on Ghostbusters fans for being sexist. Now they're working with their social medial engineering partners to plant false flag comments on YouTube, depicting a male fans of Ghostbusters being blatantly sexist and racist, in order to give themselves an out when Fembusters is finally released and doesn't go anywhere as well as they expected it to. More details about what and why Sony's been doing what they've been doing can be [[#So_you.27ve_finally_accepted_that_you.27re_a_sexist.2C_misogynistic_shitbag_pissbaby_dudebro_man-child|read below]].

| ===Second Trailer===
| |
| [[File:Ghostbusters Women Vacuum Cleaners.jpg|center|550px]]<br /><br />
| |
| On May 18th, 2016, the Second Official Trailer for the movie was released, on a channel not related to Sony... and, well, you can only imagine how "good" it is, and the reactions to it:
| |

| <center><youtube>gMfUjDnpfRY</youtube></center>
| |
| | |
| But remember everyone: if you downvote it, it's because you hate women yadda yadda yadda.
| |
| | |
| Meanwhile, Paul Feig shows how [http://screenrant.com/ghostbusters-2016-director-trailer-reactions-complaints/ bootyblasted] {{archive|Aaucq}} he's been lately, and especially concerning the reactions to the trailers, and <s>complains</s> informs the readers that the trailers look bad because he's simply not a joke-joke-joke-oneliner-oneliner writer. Instead, he's the kind of writer that puts too much quality into this humor which is just super difficult to translate into a trailer.

| |You get your first bite of the apple watching a trailer. Everyone has a million different ideas of what this movie is going to be. I think a lot of people thought we were going to take the original script and just flip it, so that Melissa’s going to be Venkman, and Kate’s going to be Ray Stantz! And you’re like, ‘Well, no, we would never do that.’ Nobody knows what you’re doing, so it could be anything. … For us, we just needed to plant a flag and go, ‘Here’s kind of how some of the stuff in the movie is!’ …|Paul Feig, in completely denial of the fact that he literally did take the original script and flip it
| |
| |My movies, for some reason, are really hard to do trailers for, because my comedy all comes from context, really. I’m not the guy who’s like joke-joke-joke, and here’s a one-liner one-liner one-liner. I do have those, but you have to get to know the characters, you have to settle in with them to get to know their personalities, saying, ‘Oh, that’s funny because that character doesn’t normally do this.’ … That said, I liked what the first trailer was, and we’re going to have the new trailer that we’re putting together now that I’m really excited about, too, which shows a little more of the scope. … But people are always going to react the way they’re going to react, and that’s the joy and the terribleness of the Internet.|Paul Feig, under the delusion that Fembusters is well written
| |
| |And anyone who has followed movies for any period of time knows that judging a movie by its trailer is often a mistake.|[http://screenrant.com/ghostbusters-2016-director-trailer-reactions-complaints/ Stephen Silver] {{archive|Aaucq}}, not realizing that even if people hated the movie ONLY because it stars women in it, that feeling had nothing to do with the trailer.
| |
| |If filmgoers want to treat the 2016 Ghostbusters as a crime against cinema, they should really make the effort to see it first.|[http://screenrant.com/ghostbusters-2016-director-trailer-reactions-complaints/ Stephen Silver] {{archive|Aaucq}}, completely oblivious to the fact that maybe he should really make the effort to go and read ''Mein Kampf'' cover-to-cover first before criticizing it. BTW, this is also probably the lamest argument to try to <s>trick</s> convince people into paying money to watch this shitshow.

| But hey, I guess maybe Paul Feig is right and this movie is going to be good despite the shitty trailers. I mean, it's not like the very concept is terrible or anything, or the idea that the original Ghostbusters actors have unrelated cameos on it, or that SJWs and Feminists have latched onto this film because they somehow are under the delusion that people hate it BECAUSE there are women leads in it, and that therefore criticizing the film means you hate all women and want them to die. And it CERTAINLY has nothing to do with the fact that the film will probably be full of lines like this one:
| |
| | |
| [[File:Fembusters-femaleWinstonIsMadAsHell.jpg|401px|center|thumb|''"I don't know if it was a race thing or a lady thing, but I'm mad as hell!"'' Well it's OBVIOUSLY a race thing because we CLEARLY saw female-Ray crowd surf literally five seconds earlier!]]
| |
| | |
| Nope, Mr. Feig is right; it's clear ALL of us just misinterpreted the trailer, and that's the ONLY reason why there is controversy for the film. I guess we're all just going to have to pay $16 to watch the film in order to acquire the right to criticize it! THAT'LL show 'em!!
| |
| | |
| And the fact that the cast of Fembusters haven't come out and say ANYTHING about their movie experiences, one way or another, is a complete coincidence.
