NOBODY TALKS ABOUT JONATHAN SCHAECH THAT WAY

This is the hottest of Dude Takes on rape.

That's actually my favorite episode of HDTGM!

One of my favorite writers once said "The most feminist thing i do is review movies." Apparently fanboys are… scary.

Sorry, the "fridge" thing was a Simpsons reference. This is the AV Club, after all :)

I don't believe that Sony strategically deleted women's criticisms of the trailer and left up the other ones. Sorry. It's a fridge too far for me.

If the same level of Redditor-contingent outrage happens for the remake of Big Trouble in Little China, I'll buy you a coke.

But do you think those two things happened in remotely equal measure? The angry Internet gamergate types have been SUPER active and visible en masse throughout this whole process. And these Sony "sins" like deleting YouTube comments are basically conspiracy theories.

It would have broader appeal to idiots, I guess, but ticket sales are ticket sales.

You mean the massive downvoting via the angry dudes of 4chan and KotakuInAction?

Thanks for the explanation! That makes sense. Though, you think people may rate it more harshly because they don't want to be "told what to think?" See, in my mind the people telling others what to think are the angry internet bros (you know who I mean) who have been campaigning for this film to fail since the cast…

Wiig and McCarthy specifically target women?

The Rotten Tomatoes score is pretty good

I didn't say anything about Hitler, nor did I imply it. I am genuinely curious about your theory that positive reviews can't be trusted. The reviews have been largely good, but there are several high-profile negative assessments (like in Variety). Are the negative reviews equally untrustworthy?

So the positive reviews are biased, and the negative reviews… aren't?

You really think Sony created this toxic environment for the movie's release, and not the Internet rage campaign of thousands of 4channers?

THE HORROR

Yes.

I don't think many women call out sexual harassment in the workplace the moment it happens. I know I never have.

Are you a working woman?
