But for all these products, I remember them being heavily attacked, even before they came out. Fuck, ESPECIALLY ghostbusters, There were a TON of people openly saying that the reason it's GOING to be shit (remember it wasn't out yet) is because they put women in it, and ghostbusters is inherently a male story. She Hulk is another example. For all these things, you can see the racist / sexist / misogynist comments en mass, long before it comes out, and then WHEN it comes out, that is also the main thing they focus on in terms of criticism. When the Episode 7 trailer came out people were OUTRAGED at the black stormtrooper appearing.
So, of course the people making this garbage, spend a lot of time defending against sexism and racism, because sexism and racism is the main thing that is the main form of attack.

What I mean is: You look at channels like TheQuartering, Nerdist, and a million others, and it's not like they're making valid, well thought out critique about legitimate issues in these movies, to which disney and co react by saying: "You just hate minorities", you know? They're making videos saying: "Ghostbusters is gonna SUCK because it's all WOMEN now!!", to which disney and co then react by saying "these people just hate women".
And yeah, Ghostbusters fucking sucked. But I don't think the problem with it was that they were women now.
