Line 3:
** And then there are the people who think of them as two different but good movies that share a common legacy, who are hated equally by both.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Rowan North, a whiny misogynistic loser of a nerd (and a very thinly-veiled [[Take That]] towards the film's detractors) who causes ghosts to endanger hundreds of lives while trying to orchestrate the apocalypse as revenge [[Evil Is Petty|for being looked down on by others for all his life.]]
* [[Fan Dumb]]:
** On the other side of the coin however are the extreme defenders of the film who are willing to drown out any legitimate criticisms by calling it "Hate Speech" or "Sexism", going as far as to lead brutal smear campaigns against these critics (With [[The Angry Video Game Nerd|James Rolfe]] being the most famous example).
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Among the anti crowd, "Ghostbusters: Current Year".
* [[Hype Aversion]]: A lot of people who hated the movie felt that way simply because they were utterly put off by the apparent [[Straw Feminist]] promotion done before it was even out, and were further disinclined to care because [[Dear Negative Reader|the director himself dismissed potential critics as]] [[He-Man Woman Hater]]s.
* [[Never Trust a Trailer]]:
* [[Overshadowed by Controversy]]: Good luck finding ''anyone'' who isn't aware of the absolute shitshow that ensued due to the aggressive attitude from Paul Feig and co. towards the film's detractors. It's very likely that this played a part in the film underperforming at the box office.
* [[Serious Business]]: Apparently nothing is more important to some fans than making sure their pure vision of the true Ghostbusters isn't polluted by icky girls and their cooties.
