To the men who hate ghostbusters

I just read the fb comments for the new ghostbusters trailer and dear lord, it's crazy. You can find it on the ghostbusters Facebook page, it should be their latest vid from the 21st of May. Anyways, all the men were awful, they really hated on it (whilst clarifying that they did not hate women, they just hated the movie in general, and then they whined about being criticised and called a sexist). And the comments were all somewhat fair arguments as to why the movie would suck but oh my fucking god. You can hate the movie all you want but fuck you in claiming that you're not a sexist and crying about how it's anti-"equalist" to present a male secretary character who is dumb and sexualised, but never saying a single thing when the shoe is on the other foot. Men have this inherent need to complain like the world hasn't been shaped and warped to their liking, that when women get the upper hand, they in turn have nothing and so women should be punished for it. When I read all these comments, they were all just dumb reasons to boycott a fucking reboot. Nobody likes reboots, the jurassic world film was plain awful, but I bet it never got as much hate as the new ghostbusters before it even came out. These commenters keep claiming that they aren't sexist and that they should totally be given a chance but you can just hear it in their words, the amount of hate the have. Maybe, this hate comes from being accused of something they feel they're not, a prejudice they don't think they have or maybe it's the fresh new trend that the men are picking up where they poke fun at social justice warriors and being sensitive to and open-minded about things that can make a minority of the population uncomfortable (but really, who has the time and effort to care about things like mental illness, like anxiety and shit which obviously don't exist because who REALLY has anxiety --and don't confuse anxiety with laziness, silly social justice warriors). But let's be real. Men just love to hate feminism. They'll hate on male feminists because guess what, it sounds and feels feminine to be a feminist and we men should never want to be feminine (because ew, let's not lower ourselves to such levels). I'm sorry I'm being mean and cynical about the subject but the only niceness in that comment section were the women who suggested that maybe they should've made a new alternative storyline for the all woman crew or that it looks fun (because it does look fucking funny (trailer 2 not 1 lol)). Anyways, night.

Life Update


  • I got an allergic reaction to a new facial cleanser and my acne came back as a result and that just shits me. I tried to improve myself and I forked out a few extra dollars for a natural range of cleanser because why not, good for me, good for the environment -WRONG. I broke out in hives and my face peeled and my acne is back, in full force. I also got the flu or something right after the hit too? And I missed out on school and Old Boy was being screened for history and I MISSED IT and I'm so sad because I've been meaning to rewatch it and I could've on the big screen but I was SICK. Anyways, I hope Jess makes good use of the cleanser. If you're reading this, you better be using it everyday. The pump is good because one push and you have plenty to clean your face with because it lathers so well. Anyways. Enough complaining.
  • Romantic advances? No. But whenever he comes to Coles to shop and he says hi and we talk, my work shift brightens up like a lot. Probably because I like him but also because it's nice to have someone to talk to but mostly because I like him.
  • Jeff texted me but I was sick but once I recover and I get rid of a bit of acne, I'll let him know. I think the next time will be the last time I see him. It's gonna be SO GOOD. We've known each other a surprisingly long time.
  • I've so much uni work dear lord. So basically, we have this essay due which is okay, I'll get it done. But I have a cinematography and design assignment coming up soon too but like myself and Lou, who's my partner for the coming cine assignment, didn't realise how soon it was?? And we chose a hard script to do because it's set in a convenience store?? And we don't really know anyone who would let us into their store for a shoot? So now we're gonna try and replicate it in a studio and that's gonna be so fucking hard. Anyways, we needed actors for our assignment so I asked other groups to help and I'm like trading my body for theirs? Essentially, if I act for one thing, the person I helped will act in mine. And that's fine and all but it takes time and I've so much shit to do!!! I'm trying to finish this essay early but work makes me tired and idk, idk idk idk.
  • I'm in love with this duo called HONNE, their lyrics are sorta basic and too damn hetero but I just love their sound. Their kinda funky, kinda jazzy? techno and it's just nice to groove to. Warm on a Cold Night is great, I do recommend them for some easy breezy listening. And Baby Please just feels like a lazy Sunday morning.
  • I'm doing an essay on Lars Von Trier's Dancer in the Dark and it's just so great.
  • I've run out of things to say.
  • Oh!!! I went to the doctor's today to get my blood test results and I'm allergic to grass pollen!!! That is all.
