rpanons | Explosions in the sky

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

anon who is excited to go see ghostbusters and

a woman complaining about inaccuracies in a movie doesn't mean she thinks it's a mistake to make one for the same reasons that most of the male fanbase thinks it's a mistake to make one

i'll take another remake as an example of this: i refused to go see the ninja turtles reboot because i didn't like the way the turtles look or how they cast april o'neill. however i'm entirely willing to also accept that my reasons for thinking it's a bad movie at the time were entirely subjective and also very shallow! and if a lot of the dudes railing against the movie would stop trying to hide their disdain for it in thinly-veiled critique, i'd respect their opinions on it a lot more than i do.

and i actually do respect their opinions on it- but i don't respect their actions. i didn't like the new ninja turtles so i didn't see it. i had one conversation with one person about how much i thought it looked like absolute diarrhea. once. i did not do my best to suppress good reviews of the movie, despite the terrible things i eventually did hear about it. and if you're thinking, "well you're just not that attached to it," ninja turtles was my childhood just as much as ghostbusters was theirs. i had two popcorn tins FULL of ninja turtles. i had at least 10 VHS tapes i absolutely wore out of the cartoon. i used to waste all of my money playing the games at the arcade. i wanted to be raphael when i grew up. i still love the first live action movies, even the third one. i'm totally okay with people not liking something, because there's tons of things i don't like, too. and maybe even not being able to explain why you don't like it is fine, too. but going out of your way to try to make it unsuccessful just says to me that these guys aren't worried about something ruining they're childhood- they actually haven't progressed PAST childhood.

also most of the reviews i've read have been skewed positive, so. joke's on you. see you at ghostbusters 2
