Is she actually comparing Bronies to Ghostbusters because people judged it heavily? I guess she was unaware of the 7 month controversy.

Follow-up tweet: >The most amazing misperception so far? That Hollywood thinks casting women is a cash grab. I ASSURE YOU they believe the EXACT OPPOSITE

Well, if it wasn't for Feig, the media, SJW's, and Sony's shilling, rest assured that little to no people wouldn't of cared about the movie in the first place, and moved on to something different. Movies shouldn't have this much controversy behind it.

Trailers, and how people act is the key to first impression, if it has the shit the Ghostbusters movie had, do they seriously expect people to watch it? If they did, they're kidding themselves, because reverse physiology don't work out that way with most people.

People can judge Bronies all they want, but the proof is in the pudding.

>>27909544
I'm disappointed that she, someone who gave a good portion of her life to making great original female characters, wouldn't see the problem in simply slapping a pussy on established male characters. It basically says "women can be strong and great as long as men do 99% of the work".

If they had made a brand new Ghostbusters with a different story I imagine it would have gone over a lot better. Have a brand new threat that only a brand new group of scientists who happen to be female can stop. That could have had a lot of potential to be a good film and become a memorable addition to the franchise.

Instead we get what is essentially a propaganda film. Either you like it and you're one of us, or you don't and you are the enemy (read misogynist).

The movie is basically ruined to the point that no one can make an unbiased judgement on it. People are seeing it or praising it just to say "Fuck misogyny", and others are trashing it and avoiding so as to say "Fuck feminism."

If the reviews for it come out stellar, you can't say it wasn't partly because people had an agenda to promote it and make it flourish because GO WOMEN. If the reviews said it tanked and was awful, the opposite applies.

Faust is just as hiveminded as any other feminist out there, but I will admit, she hides her P.L very well, and that is because of the fans, and the amount of support she gets with her "content"

I LIKE the four female leads and think they are all very talented. I even really think Paul Feig's work is awesome even when I don't enjoy it.

The problem is that I totally get why people hate this movie, it should have either been a continuation if the original series (and possibly maintained its tone) or been an original setup. It feels like if someone had to make a MLP movie, they would just try to work the first Equestria Girls film into an origin story, I even like the first EQG film, but I realize I am mostly alone in that regard and need to respect others' opinions. Such as the fact that I like when dark series can handle going a far sillier, kid-friendly route.

It was clear Feig didn't want to do this movie anyway, it doesn't seem to have any love for the original despite trying to cash in on its name, but I still wanted to check it out because it was a great cast, a great director, and an awesome IP. I don't want to support it because it has women in it. I don't like that a movie that stars women in it has to be some big deal.

If anything, I think racism is a bigger issue than sexism. I think an all black Ghostbusters would be a bigger controversy than an all female one.

>>27910124
I'm not a huge fan and I can see why as well, it was a reboot nobody wanted. I also understand you're a fan of Feig, but I also find it hard to believe he didn't want to work on the movie by the way he was shilling it, insulting people, calling others sexist, etc. especially since he mostly work with females.

More like every political dichotomy ever. This film was made with a particular ideology in mind, it's propaganda. It's trying to push the idea that women can be the main focus too.

The problem is rather than making a new film with a female cast they transform a well loved film into a political piece about "Gurl powerz" and it gives the impression that women can't do anything without men doing most of the work.

Can't we make our own fucking shit for once?

Hasbro doesn't actively call bronies manchildren or useless, or make fun of them in the series. As much as you hate them like an edgy teenager thinking his parents are idiots, Hasbro still likes you guys, believe it or not. Hence why they do things like Slice of Life, convention reveals and so on.

I'm not sure if he was serious about that one, he started to go into detail about how Order was going to put Discord on trial for what he did during the events of Twilight's Kingdom. The second was an idea to delve into Zecora's backstory. Hasbro didn't want the comics to go into that one since they want the option open to have the show explore that themselves.

Since when is she apart from the MLP team? I had the impression she still likes the people she worked with.

Wish I can have a legitimate answer, but all I can say is possibly. It's how I feel with most people in the fandom now-a-days, It's the best way to prevent arguments from happening. Like, I know how easily things like feminism angers me because how it's portrayed, so I rather avoid people who are like that because I know we won't get along. It's going to be very rare to have differences and still have a good bond.

But I have heard that Lauren is a nice lady, she just have shit opinions regarding things like feminism because she is a feminist.

She's been fighting old execs almost her entire career to allow her, and others, to make shows with female leads. She's been told, for almost 30 years straight, that her ideas aren't good, aren't interesting, aren't profitable unless they have male leads in it.

To her, this is everything. The poor reaction to Ghostbusters means the chance of making a movie, or a show, with an all-female cast, moves further away from her. These are her dreams you're talking about.

I don't get why anyone wouldn't be that passionate about a topic, given the circumstances.

but he is right
the main problem of GB2 was being more of the same.
i saw ghostbusters and the sequel, and the sequel was just ghostbusters again. you can do a great thing about a team of nerds go and hunting ghosts, but you can't go far of the main idea: guys hunting ghosts until a demigod appears and they have to send him back to whatever dimmension it came.
James Rolf was right when he said the sequel was very soon, it needed some time so they could comeback because of nostalgia, but since the studio just said "take the wave while it's up", they didn't saw you can't do too much with the concept
i don't see GhostBusters 2 as bad, i see it just underrated and crushed by his own concept

Faust, if you want us to believe that feminists can be good, you must not reinforce the associated negative stereotypes by acting in a way that supports them. Telling us we have to speak well of a poorly made movie because of its cast's gender only hurts your image and, by extension, your cause.

Lauren is essentially implying that "quality" doesn't matter for the sake of promoting more women in primary roles.

Personally I think both sides have been acting retarded, since feminists have been padding the movie's scores with positive reviews to promote their agenda and blaming negativity solely on "misogyny", and people who hated it to begin with more often cite some e-celeb faggot's review on youtube and express their need to latch on to other people's thoughts and opinions rather than forming their own.

It's not a comment on bronies, it's a comment on Ghostbusters using an analogy referencing them to describe what she's saying is faulty logic.

Those of you drumming up shit about "Mom" disowning you are pulling pages from the SJW handbook and twisting shit she says just because you're butthurt she disagrees with you about a movie.

>>27911621
Essentially, here's what happened:

An all female ghostbusters reboot is announced. /tv/, being the collection of fedora owning Reddit manchildren that they are, freaked out. Reddit also freaked out. Because women can't possible star in anything.

Then the marketing department for the movie cut together like the worst possible trailer, fueling the rage of the manchildren and causing casual observers, like me, to question whether the movie might in fact suck

Finally, the movie was released to mixed to positive reviews. Many, many autismo gentlesirs slammed it's IMDB page with negative reviews despite not having seen it, irritating feminists like Faust. Faust has, upon a complete review of her Twitter feed today taken the following positions on the whole thing:

1. Don't hate on the movie if you haven't seen it.

2. Yes, the marketing sucked, but the movie is still good. (She compared it to when she was working on the Iron Giant, a movie that was good but had a god-awful trailer for it.)

3. Even if you don't really like the idea of the movie, you have to go see it because girls need role models. (This has since been walked back to 'do what you want, but it would be helpful to women if you went to see it so please go.)

Thats all well and good but it makes it sound like they're fighting a losing battle, or that they're the underdog in this situation. Every major media outlet, every journalist, comedy news show, basically all mainstream opinion formers came out heavily behind this film in a concerted effort to promote it in the most stupid, reactionary way imaginable. The whole ordeal has been massively destructive and polarising.

Yes, but they did that in reaction to the Internet manchild freakout. Those dickwads are the ones who politicized the movie months before anything beyond a couple of publicity photos were available. If the woman-haters want to find someone to blame for this movie to morphing into a referendum on feminism, then they have no further to look than their mirrors. And there are plenty of big publications that put out lukewarm and even negative reviews. Richard Roeper, for example, gave it a scathing 1-star evisceration.

I don't understand how a woman can grow old without realizing how patronizing ideas like this are to women.

By attributing value to a piece of media solely because it has women in it is saying that woman are like children who are to be praised just for existing. It's saying that, like a child, they need praise for doing something just because they did it, and not because it has any outside merit.

Combine that with the notion that this movie is supposed to be appealing to men and those who don't like it are misogynists. Queef jokes, sexism/racism jokes, pretty boy secretary, Fall Out Boy, 5 Seconds of Summer, a fat female comedian, a stereotypical black woman, a you go girl obnoxious woman, and a seemingly normal woman written to have the same bra-burning humor as the others does not at all say that this is a movie made to appeal to men.

Are feminists going to start calling men who don't want to watch The Real Housewives, Pretty Little Liars, and Keeping Up With The Kardashians evil misogynists now?

Even still, most of the reviews are more a criticism of the shitstorm than of the film itself, in the "Ha, take that!" kind of way. The "I'm very obviously shilling" kind of way. The whole girl power! women can be funny too, movement makes being a woman sound like a disability and does them a disservice IMO. There a lots of talented women out there that don't need to be shoehorned into a sort of casus belli to prove their worth.

If its in demand, its profitable, simple as.

A couple of weeks ago I asked a girlfriend of mine "Would you watch a James Bond style action movie with a female lead? and she said she definitely would. Thats great, if more girls share that opinion then you have a market, that goes for all other demographics too.

The problem with purposely re-gendering or changing the race/background of a character is that you are telling the world "I have no faith in this idea as an independent entity". You are trying to get the already established fanbase to get on board and give you their money. Its like moving a team from NY to Texas and expecting everyone to still support it, and calling them bitter assholes for not doing so.

All studios care about is money. If strong female leads is what will make money, strong female leads is what you will get. Women need to vote with their feet and get their asses on theatre seats if they want things to change. Changing a franchise and expecting pre-existing fans to essentially subsidise its existence, in this case getting men to subsidise a female movie (and yes it IS a female movie, most of its jokes are geared towards girls and the characters are female-tropes that girls can relate to), is fucked up. People don't like to have their intelligence insulted, especially fat nerds who like Ghostbusters.

Thursday/Friday ticket sales weren't too hot, 17M total and lots of empty theaters. Similar performance from other movies resulted in a final box office gross of like 90M at worst and 400M at best, but Ice Age and Star Trek come out next week and Suicide Squad comes out a few weeks after that which might kill whatever legs Ghostbusters may have had. It also won't get a China release.

Paul Feig himself said this probably needed to gross like 500M to make the studio any kind of real money. He may have just been saying that hoping it would get people to see, but that's not too out of this world in this day and age with out of control marketing budgets that aren't included in the listed budget. At this point I'd be surprised if it even recoups the listed budget

That headline sounds like something The Mary Sue would write. I really hate how the media boils down with gurl power and feminism within the last several years, it kills what sanity people have left with content, and it drives people away when they say something like that.

>>27912194
But Faust didn't give a legitimate reason WHY people should see the movie other than it has girls in it. I can see if she gave it a legitimate critique, which makes me think, if Feig DID continue the series like fans wanted the most, would she even care? Would she complain the movie doesn't have that many women and they're still backseat driving in Hollywood movie?

Feig's actions for the last 7 month was more autistic than any other movie I've seen that had controversy in the past. Hell, even I seen this coming in 2016 when they first announce it, but I didn't know it would be THIS huge.

How so? She made plenty of "content" with an all female cast, have you not noticed the episodes she wrote on PPG, the one with Fem Fetale, Possibly Major Man, and the Justice League? If that furthers her dream away because people don't want to see the movie, then that's just pathetic.

This is one of the big turn offs to me. Sorry, but I HATE the ultra stereotypical "Angry fat black women" Stereotype, because those people are HORRIBLY annoying in real life.
Not saying "black women are terrible" but THAT SPECIFIC STEREOTYPE, when you actually run into one that exists, is horribly grating.

Also just because the girl heroine are princesses doesn't mean they're bad role model. Brave, Frozen, even Tangled had strong women figures, and nobody was shocked because they were awesome.

This however, handled it terribly from its inception. The message they wan't isn't "It's a good film and proves that having girls doesn't stop it from being a good film" it's "It's made by feminists with a cast full of feminist, so it HAS to be good right? RIGHT? YOU SEXIST JERK."

It starts to get better from there on out, with a few exceptions. Although as someone who started watching after season 3 I have to say that season one and two had some pretty shit episodes. "Cutie Mark Chronicles"? More like six squandered backstories tied together by Rainbow Dash being a living god.

This.

In the original the black guy was a John Everyman. His ethnicity wasn't played to for laughs or even acknowledged in any way. He was a job applicant who got in way over his head but stuck it through.

The use of the stereotypical angry fat black woman is a big step backwards for the franchise.
>>
>>27913576
I get that at the time you guys were desperate for more lore, not to mention wondering if there would even be a season 2, and having all that back story rapped up in a tight little episode probably seemed great at the time. It doesn't surprise me that it's a favorite of many long time fans.

But looking at it from my perspective it just looks like a clusterfuck of wasted opportunity for fully developed back stories.

You say that like the first Ghostbusters didn't have conservitive agendas hiding behind its hilarity.

What I don't understand is why is it Ghostbusters the hill that feminist want to fight on? Why not promote original girl's properties like Miraculous Ladybug. Here we have a show with a strong, smart, capable, confident, endearing, totally cute, realistically proportioned, non-sexualized, ethnic minority, female heroine. It's got the whole package, and yet the only people who seem to be championing it are gay boys on /co/.

Not that I want Miraculous to become a feminist stomping ground, because that'd be annoying, but still.

If the movie had a *different* all female cast (and a different director), I'd be more willing to go see it. Tina Fey would have been a perfect R63!Venkman.

I lost respect for her way back when that guy who landed a god-damned spacecraft on a motherfucking comet was harassed by tons of rabid feminists, and she supported them, only speaking out against the most extreme comments.

Frankly, "appropriate dress" would be for the scientist to show up drunk, still drinking, with a party hat and maybe a few sparklers.

"Do people look past your accomplishments and only see the clothes you're wearing?" is supposed to be some kind of feminist "look at how oppressed I am!" question, but I think this is far, far more relevant. Fuck making history for our entire species, his shirt has pictures of attractive women on it. That means he hates women.

I don't believe the quality of the film will have any impact on its legacy. It's pretty much cemented itself as "that film that cast women in male roles because women good".

I just hope she doesn't talk about "representation for women and girls" much.

Look at even the most stereotypical masculine and boy-targeted show that's in the mainstream. They all have at least one female character who's on the hero squad and has the same level of respect and super powers as everyone else.

Hell, they're frequently super strong, super skilled badasses that the male characters can't really beat except for maybe the dumb brute strength character. Think of the sackpeople from the movie 9. [Pic related. It's the character with the skull helmet and spear in the front.]

Even Power Rangers, a show focused on action, monsters, fighting, and explosions, always has at least one female character on the squad.

The only show with an all-male main cast I can think of is Metalocalypse. They have like 2-3 guys voicing everyone. Even some of the female characters. Keep in mind that this show isn't something intended for mainstream general audiences, and that it's got a low budget.

How many active male characters are there on MLP? Spike's a mix of a son, brother, pet, and slave. Big Mac's basically nothing more than a dumb workaholic. Every superpowered male character (Sombra, Discord, Tirek, etc.) is evil. The kind of evil that the corruption-blasting elements of harmony don't erase from a person. Starswirl is noteable, but Celestia basically confirmed that he's just a shitty, failed version of Twilight.

Back when there were only two alicorns who formed the sum total of MLP mythology, it made sense for them to both be female. But with 5 alicorns out so far, and with them being crapped out roughly once a season, there's no good diagetic reason for none of them to be male.

Double-talk about how everyone else needs to give representation to my pet group, while I don't have to give reciprocal representation of your groups makes me lose all respect for the hypocrite.

I call those characters "magic vaginas". They're strong, confident, wisecracking, and they don't have any apparent flaws other than the fact that they're not the main character or they just don't believe in themselves enough Rainbow Dash.

>How many active male characters are there on MLP?
In the first two seasons Spike got abused constantly. Either Twilight pushes him around or Rarity manipulates him. And what about Big Mac? He started out as a big brother character to Applejack. He gave advice and spoke full sentences. Somewhere along the line they thought it would be better if Big Mac were just a two line gag character.

Other than Discord there isn't really a strong, influential male character and yet men and boys still manage to identify with the cast. Why is it so hard for women to identify with male characters the same way?

Her begging for people to see a clusterfuck of a movie "just because women" is frankly insulting.

Especially since every liberal leaning media outlet has tried so hard to beat people into submission over the idea that not liking this movie or wanting to see it makes you a bad person. Make something original with women and give people a reason to see it, instead of piggybacking off the success of an established franchise. Glad to see people seem to be voting with their wallets and avoiding this thing.

Seems like OP did blow it out of proportion according to her recent, follow-up tweets, but the words she was saying before that what >>27909871 posted, Shook things up a lot more, because it looked like she was implying We should see it because it has women in it.

She could be sarcastic about it, who knows, but again, that's the internet for you, if you don't know anyone personally, people will take what you say seriously unless it's obvious you're just fucking around. On the other hand, we do know how she is with content that involves women. So i'll say this again: if the film didn't have female roles? Would she give a shit?

The only time I noticed she was messing around was what >>27911143 posted because it's obvious, but like I always say: first impression is the key.

But this is what I hate about the world now, everything that involves women ALWAYS have to do something with feminism now more than it ever did many, many years ago.

I'm aware this isn't anything new, but it was never this loud, and this is why I do despise it, because not everything need to have feminism in it, plenty of content has female leads that people can, and will look up to, they just don't care and like to start shit. I miss the good days when I can easily enjoy content without seeing things like this because it taints it. Feminism has not been making things better, but the opposite.

Wow. Bye mom. I had a lot of faith in you all these years, the structure of MLP always told me you cared about the welfare of girls quite a lot. But I thought you did so in a healthy way, I thought you were like Harper Lee letting Scout see variations on femininity through other female characters. I thought you understood about strength and self-determination, I thought that's why you hated Twilicorn as much as I hated Twilicorn. But this whole time...you were just one of these delusional obsessives?

The new Ghostbusters is feminist iconoclasty, it's the same thing as GG, it's the same thing as Atheism+. They want to come into various fandoms and causes they think make up the core of modern white male identity and fill them with non-white non-male representations and ideas as much as possible. Nothing in their canon of ideas even justifies this strategy, it's outright aggressive, the destruction of cultural identity countermands everything these people say they stand for everyday. It's the very fact we were all raised on Ghostbusters that they do this to it, it wouldn't have seen another release otherwise is the extra funny part.

You know what? I'm going to start taking non-white non-male cultural icons and start whitewashing them. I'll start with a minor rewrite of a classic book. It'll be a big trap, I won't change a thing besides what color or sex it says the characters are. I'll change literally 0.05% of the book's actual text, I'll use public domain works so nobody can do anything.

One wonders what motivates this behavior. What do you think the outcome of destroying the cultural identity is going to be, provided you could actually do it? Happiness? Adoption of your views? Historically, what has the outcome of any such thing been? The more likely outcome is anomie and the violence that inevitably arises from anomie.

Tell me, why does 4chan itself have such a significant diaspora? Why did so many leave? The picture is a hint.

We're not in the 70's or whatever time females were given less representation, this is 2016, and females have pretty much have the same privilege to do what a male can do.

But such is life, because History tends to repeat itself, Problems are never going to be resolved as long as they continue to act like that, just like how the media portrays whites and blacks.

They don't is the catching point. They're doing this by numbers, it can't be said "video gaming" or "atheism" are white male interests it's just that white males are disproportionately interested in them. They want white males to feel no camaraderie with other white males even by accident, they want to destroy what they see as racial culture when the fact there is no longer any such concept in operation means many other people are caught in the crossfire.

I'll be a huge nerd here. I'm reminded of Star Trek: Voyager, there's two races in question, the Kazon who were enslaved and have a violent, male-centric culture which is largely backward and cruel. The other race, the Treibe, are largely enlightened, peaceful and technologically gifted. The Kazon overthrow the Treibe and take their technology, mainly millitary technology and proceed to force the remaining Treibe to leave the sector. But it doesn't stop there, they never allow the Treibe to settle on any planet, no matter how far away the Treibe move away from their homeland the Kazon follow them and prevent them from even landing anywhere. Eventually an episode poses the question, who's more evil? The enslavers who want peace and isolation or the formerly enslaved who cannot forgive or forget?

The fact that nothing is "white" anymore is precisely why this version of that conflict isn't contained in a neat little sci-fi bottle. But the fact is the SJW don't care who they hurt, they only care about how culture makes they themselves "feel". So they'll continue to chase the White Male Patriarchial Boogeyman wherever it seems to be, justified or not. See, they're not actually satisfied with people agreeing with them or with their stated, harmonious goals coming to pass. None of that will satisfy their need for vicarious revenge against, largely, their own racial shame as whites given that like 95% of SJW are the very class/identity they most vilify, white and rich.
