The whole Ghostbusters movie is such a pile of crap it isn't funny they are LITERALLY pushing it being all female like it matters...
There are two sides to this coin. The gender issue matters and it doesn't matter. Picking one side isn't enough. Unless it's some very specific biological role that a character must fulfill, like a woman giving birth, than I don't see why any discrimination or low expectations should be in place. But I do think gender is important when it comes to treating them like people who have stories that should be told. Even a well meaning person with a "Gender doesn't matter" mind set can still go on to make projects that focus solely on one gender. But if you're going to make a stand and declare that gender doesn't matter (Or as you said "I just don't care"), does it really matter that they're pushing the fact that the Ghostbusters are all female? I just don't understand why people who don't care always seem to be the ones who speak the loudest about it.
In the end I just don't care,I go to watch a movie not get a social education,I watch to be entertained not get the correct programming that the high minded think I need,I don't give a flip about women,gays,blacks or whatever the flavor of the day offended minority is I want to watch a certain bunch of characters and the HELL with it being correct or not to someone's delicate sensibilities-you don't like it? then don't watch it cupcake.
If the circumstances were more equal, I would agree. However, things are not equal. Viewers who do like to see some form of POC/LGBT representation, whether it's just interesting characters or heroes that we can look up towards don't have many alternatives available. Forget the lack of female heroes, do we even have one openly gay super hero at all in Hollywood?
Really some people need to learn to shut up,the world no matter what you believe doesn't revolve around you,you don't and shouldn't try to change it drastically just fix the rough patches,like another poster said if people like Jeyl had their way we'd be in 1984 and all dressed the same and all told what to think so we're "perfect" but in fact we'd just be the ultimate slaves no more freedom,no more creativity everything in a box and by the book.
Cut! Cut! Let's go back a few scenes. As a huge bona fide Trekkie, the one thing I've always been critical about when it came to the quality of the Star Trek franchise was how much Gene Roddenberry himself did more harm than good when he was in charge. Why is that relevant to your description of me? Because his control of the franchise was so Orwellian that the writers who worked on the show described Gene's meddling as being trapped in "Gene's Box". Their good ideas were shelved, moments of drama were sugar coated and our 'human' heroes wouldn't shut up about how awesome they were. It got so bad that the lead character, Picard, told off a god-like entity "Q" that humanity may one day become more powerful than he is based on a re-interpretation of a line from Hamlet. Why would I ever follow Gene's lead?
The problem with a perfectly conformed society is that it cannot exist so long as there are differences. I don't want to live in a society like that. Even simple things like differences of opinion is one of the most quintessential attributes that makes us all unique. And even though I was born in 1984, I can assure you it's purely coincidence and I have no desire of making you conform to anything. I can't. It's impossible. While I don't fully agree with your views, I do try to understand where you're coming from. Yeah, I'm very picky when it comes to issues like this, but I can barely contain myself. That's why I've tried to post here rather than there, but that doesn't work all the time because the issue is still brought up by others. It's just complicated.
