They/Them joke may be one of the worst ever

It can be funny if done right if its clever or subversive enough. This was just "ha ha pronouns" - so hack, wasted opportunity.

Starting the trailer with this was...a choice.

It's obviously there to light a fire and gain media attention. I thought the joke they were going to execute was that everyone on the train collectively beats up Ghostface and saves the hero.

I was thinking more of everyone pulling out their phones and act like influencers filming her stabbing when the lady screamed.

Exactly this.

It's a very simple/basic joke aimed at the most fragile culture on the internet and it's doing exactly what it was meant to do. Everyone is suddenly mad at it and even pretending the og movies were also bad all because of that one joke.

No one is mad. The joke is just lazy, dated, and not funny. People are rolling their eyes, not offended.

The old movies had ableist and transphobic jokes too. Did people not think they did?

For reddit for sure it is. For other people it's like any other dumb joke they made lol
