Do you have a source for this? Who caught them and how were they caught?
I did see this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWROBiX1eSc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWROBiX1eSc) which only made the claim that it was being "widely reported" and then briefly showed a screenshot of this "article" at manlymovie.net (https://manlymovie.net/2016/03/sony-rigging-ghostbusters-comments.html https://manlymovie.net/2016/03/sony-rigging-ghostbusters-com...) which has a scandalous headline but doesn't even make a claim that Sony was selectively keeping sexist comments up while removing all other criticism. The entire meat of the article looks to be a post from some internet rando called "MilesBennetDieSon" who just said they were removing negative reviews and "botting the comments section and replacing negative comments with good ones"
I don't doubt that Sony pushed the sexism angle to drum up controversy but what do we really have to show they were leaving up sexist comments while suppressing legitimate criticisms. Looking at the comments from around the time of release today, there are accusations that sony was removing negative comments, but there also appears to be many which are negative and also not sexist in nature.
