The Ghostbusters trashing is just another internet tantrum against change Laurie Penny

We live in a post-mainstream culture. As the way we consume books, movies and television changes, artists and directors no longer need to cater to a "universal" audience viewpoint. This means there is slightly less obligation to pander to what straight white men are supposed to want from culture. Not everyone is happy about that fact, and across the literary and cultural spectrum, tantrums are being thrown. This week the target is the new, all-female Ghostbusters.
