The opening para of The Guardian’s review of the new Ghostbusters movie is an excellent comment on the underbelly of the internet today:
The persistently hilarious new female Ghostbusters film has been released into a perfect storm of troll-feeding media nonsense. An admittedly unfunny trailer. An even unfunnier tendency to review trailers and consider them important or interesting standalone events. An ugly Gamergate mob of male online commenters, and the lamestream media’s need to reward and amplify their abuse.
