I abhor bullies: Paul Feig

"Ghostbusters" director Paul Feig has called out against bullies who "write misogyny and hate and threats" online.
The director wrote a lengthy post to clarify that his comments on geek culture by a newspaper were actually made last year and not related to the online hate that his upcoming all-female reboot of the 1984 movie has received.
Feig, however, reiterated that he still abhors bullies and does not even consider them true geeks.
"...I'm not talking about the people who have true concerns and worries about the rebooting of a franchise they love, nor am I talking about people who have watched the trailer for our movie and didn't like it. Those are all valid opinions and I respect them all," the director wrote.

"I am talking about those that write misogyny and hate and threats... As a lifelong geek and proud member of the geek community (as well as the creator of the TV series Freaks and Geeks), I abhor bullies."
The director said a small group of bullies don't represent geek culture at large.

"The bullies are not the norm and I would dare say they are not even true geeks. They are the micro minority. God bless the true geeks of the world and here's to taking our community back from the bullies," he said.
Feig's "Ghostbusters", starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones, has been the target of online hate since the movie was announced.

Sony Pictures Entertainment will release "Ghostbusters" in India on July 15.
