I'm... confused?

I mean, I can kind of see the structural similarities you're talking about. At the same time, the difference between "remake where the characters are female" and "storyline where the character is a Nazi" seem... pretty vast. I mean, at the end of the day, comparing women and Nazis is pretty apples and oranges.

It's different but the ghostbusters thing is being argued against in the same way people argue against nazi captain america (muh childhood) because nobody is going to flat out say they hate it just because they hate women.

Sure but like... to any outside observer, it's just obviously less valid a complaint, because reimagining a character as a woman is just fundamentally different from reimagining them as a Nazi. That's what I'm saying. Any reasonable observer should be able to realize that they're actually different arguments.

For what it's worth, I'm confused, too. The anti-Ghostbusters arguments didn't make much sense to me, and when I tried to put them in perspective, they made even less sense. They feel incomplete, like they only follow if you add in assumptions that nobody's actually stating out loud.

Well, yeah. I mean, at a certain point, they're just bad arguments.

Since the assumptions are generally bad ones about women, it's not too surprising that they don't want to actually commit to them openly.
