Your propaganda crusade against RLM is almost laughable. It seems like you've picked apart and spliced every single comment that can be used to label them as a white-nationalist YouTube group. They have mentioned countless times that they have no problem with females and minorities in "good" films. Most of their criticism center around the amount of schlock that's being put out today-weak storytelling and repetitive tropes..etc. Before you start throwing out white privledge as an attack..know that I'm in the minority. I think this generation has forgotten to laugh at themselves, because they are so wrapped up in their self-importance.

So you made an account just to come in and comment on this? LOL.
Or just pretend the shit people find offensive is all made up, doesn't apply to you and go about liking awful shit. Life is full of choices, fresh bait, life is full of choices.
I mean, you also realise that they edit their stuff, and probably edit out the most heinous stuff, skirting the line on what can pass?
Isn't it convenient that they can so easily label perfectly fine films as endless trash schlock so they have an excuse to dog on them.

I just want to know who's alt that is or what member of RLM is so hurt over someone criticizing them that they felt the need to make an account to cry about it.
I mean, this double-standard right here makes them racist and sexist.
Did you make an account here just to type this? Or are you an alt?

The new account coming in to post that is both hilarious and pathetic. More hilarious than anything.

TBF the people in this thread doing that are no different than RLM splicing together clips to prove their points about sinister Geroge Lucas,Kathleen Kennedy,Rian Johnson, Paul Feig etc . It's like poetry it rhymes.
I'm not on #TeamWhiteNationalist but I do think they are sloppy social critics who should be called out for some of their sus takes.
Yup. Only women and minorities need justification for their inclusion.
Like, you better have a good reason why you want this main character to be black, like there aren't thousands of bad movies with generic white dudes.
To think, if the dude had just stayed quiet they'd probably be unbanned and we'd all forget the inanity ever happened.

Uppity body language

I wonder if we will have a record for fastest ban of a member soon.

So minorities and "females" can only be on what you or they perceive is a good film? Otherwise it's Hollywood shoving diversity down our throats I gather.
Boy bye.

So we dare criticize Red Letter Media now there is a hit squad out because of it?
LOL
Also, is it slander or libel since their stuff isn't in print?
"Libel"
Their shitty dismissive attitudes help perpetuate all the things people like you claim they're not.
At best they're part of the problem.
If you honestly think anyone here believes your bullshit, you're even more stupid than I thought.
How dare you slander the good names of RLM by...um...showing clips of what they have said.

Cool, brigade away you low functioning suicide squad.

Oh my god. If this were actually true it would be fucking hilarious to me, because for a group that follow a bunch of snarky dudes and their scathing opinions on visual media that would mean y'all are like, crazy thin-skinned

"It sucks that they are be racist and sexist but damnit, they are my racist and sexist YouTube channel so how dare that thread call them out!"
I used to tolerate Rich's bullshit because the joke was always on him, but over time I've just gotten so tired of it. His shit is not funny, and shitting on him isn't that funny anymore either. RLM still puts out occasionally good stuff (the In the Mouth of Madness re:View was really interesting), but I almost wish they could do shit like that without Mike's "I don't want to take a stance on anything except all these things that piss me off also Star Trek" cynicism or Rich's prejudiced idiocy.
But Mike owns the company and Rich is his best friend, so it's unlikely that anything's going to change any time soon. Woof.

oh shit
goddamn us for thinking we could go on a propaganda crusade/do a libel job without making waves, RUN FOR THE FUCKING HILLS BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
(also, criticizing someone over their bullshit = propaganda/libel in whatever twisted little dimension the most rabid RLM fans live in, good to know)
well, the insistence on throwing out terms like "propaganda crusade" and "libel job" in every single post (i.e. all two) somewhat reminds me of a certain poster who kept referring to "marketing tricks" over and over again
wouldn't bet the farm on that, though
It reminds me of how South Park goes heavy on how nothing is beyond criticism, but then its fanbase goes to pieces if you criticize the show.
Guys?
Can we make a bingo card?
Because this like a straight line right there.
Listen, facts don't care about your feelings, but they do care about my feelings, so stop insulting the slovenly white dudes who talk about movies or so help me god.
It's probably someone from the official RLM forum which was closed off to the public a few years ago and only has a handful of people still posting on it, spending all their time bitching about (wait for it) feminism and Star Wars and shit. That or the usual GAF/Bore/Voat/KF trolls.

I think it's kind of weird to accuse others of a propaganda crusade when you're the type of human being who, upon hearing that a website exists that has said something unflattering about some entertainers you enjoy, rush to join it just to try to shut their conversation down.
