 Student op-ed laments ‘lack of attention to race issues’ in new ‘Ghostbusters’
Dave Huber - Assistant Editor •July 23, 2016
 

The Daily Gamecock’s (University of South Carolina) Rachel Pittman puts what one could call a “contemporary college twist” on her “Ghostbusters” reboot review from this past week.

Pittman’s analysis must have been written just before, or during, the imbroglio over conservative firebrand Milo Yiannopoulos’ banishment from Twitter for supposedly siccing his fans on ‘buster Leslie Jones, else it’s likely it would be mentioned.

This is one reason films are hot garbage now: attention to [insert issue here] at the expense of consistency, plotting, character, nuance, etc.
From what I heard, the new ghostbusters did focus on an issue, but it wasn't gilding chocolates, it was bashing males.
