It makes me sad to admit that when I don't have makeup on I am a much angrier more anxious version of myself.

This Village Without Roads Is Straight Out Of A Fairytale Book

The village Giethoorn known as the “Venice of the Netherlands” was founded in 1230 and resembles some of the most beautiful fairytale passages. The stunning oddity contains no roads or modern transportation. With the help of canals and 176 bridges, people are able to navigate through its wonders.

“Ghostbusters Movie Trailer Most Disliked In YouTu-”

It’s because they’re women. Just. I’m going to stop you right there and tell you, yeah, it’s disliked because it’s a movie starring women.

“Well no but see it’s actually because it’s a reboo-”

Of the top 15 highest grossing movies of 2015, 9 were either reboots or sequels and 5 were adaptations based on books or comics. [x] You don’t hate the new Ghostbusters because it’s not original enough. It’s because they had the audacity to cast women in a movie not marketed specifically for women. It’s because it’s a reboot of a movie starring men and they cast women.

“Honestly I just didn’t think it was all that funny-”

Don’t be an asshole. That is not why THIS movie’s trailer, above all the outrageously shitty movie trailers made, got the most negative reaction. The movie’s made by and starring people who are already established as marketable. It stars SNL cast, which, again, is really goddamn marketable. It’s an established and popular franchise (and tapping into those has already proven to be really fucking marketable, if last year alone says anything.)

In 2014 only 12% of all clearly identifiable film protagonists were female. (For the purpose of the study, protagonists = the characters from whose perspective the story is told.) [x] People complaining about Ghostbusters are the same mouth-breathing troglodytes who complained that Star Wars cast “ANOTHER girl!” in Rogue One. (Or complained about Rey in Star Wars, or Furiosa in Mad Max, etc. etc. without any fucking end in sight oh my god.) People hate the trailer because they hate women stepping out of the 12% of place they have.

Look, it’s 2016. Let’s just call misogyny what it is and not give it any fucking trending headlines, alright.
