A Critique of Red Letter Media’s Bigoted Content (See Staff Post)
For years now, RLM has been given a pass because people find their content entertaining. Despite multiple instances of blatant sexist, racist and anti-progressive rhetoric, they remain widely referenced and enjoyed by ERA. When folks bring up their problematic commentary, it's often ignored or...

Hard pass

Their humor is basic/sophomoric and not very clever
And I guess taking pot shots at Brie Larson is funny
To be fair that's kind of the point. Mike goes dry and sarcastic, jay blunt and reacts to mike, rich laughs and makes snide remark.

Cool. Thanks for dropping by and letting us know. Solid posting.
That doesn't make it funny though, it's just very basic and obvious humor, as if they've just discovered sarcasm
RLM video bingo card:
Extreme levels of cynicism about everything
Implying anybody who enjoys Star Wars content made after 1983 is being paid by Disney
Constant attacks on random female Star Wars characters but not like, in a sexist way, just a coincidental way
Rape joke (free space)
Rehashed very cool/me personally/swag box/endless trash joke
Citing information from a fake news/unsubstantiated rumor website as legitimate
Transphobic joke
Star Wars is dead
Attacks on women associated with Star Wars or Marvel
Anti-diversity rant
Too lazy to put this into an actual bingo card

Fucking Star Wars toys, the height of comedy
I don't believe I ever argued it's not.
Their videos on the prequels and Indy 4 are rightfully celebrated.
Unfortunately their opinions on almost anything else are pretty wack and they knowingly pander to the alt-right.

To be honest I've only seen some of their Star Wars videos, I just love how they make fun of people taking this way too seriously. I don't know much more about these guys.
Similar to South Park and other libertarian comedians, their anti-Trump "humor" is incredibly limp and unlikely to offend or bother Trumpers in their fanbase.
Well the day after the election, they did a gremlins commentary and a they kept making fun of his voice and how stupid he was and have called him a liar a few times.
Know what is cool?
Posting videos from un-apologetic racists and sexists who have used sexist and racist slurs!

As someone who was a huge fan of RLM content for years, I don't think they should be allowed here anymore.
They've crossed the line multiple times and shouldn't be signal boosted.

What do you think of their bigotry
Edit: Uh oh, the SW avatars have shown up to shut down the fun! (before it gets posted)
Check out their Best of the Worst series. There's a ton of amazing content there.
Know what was great? That time Rich mocked women who took part in the Womens March on DC for womens rights and told them to just let Trump do his job. In addition to his *endless* sexist potshots at feminists and feminism.
Seems like a swell guy.

Whether they are bigot or not thats not upto me to judge. I dont know them personally. I liked the content they produced on TLJ and prequels. Very enjoyable.
It is beyond baffling. How many more times do they have to use racist slurs and mock feminism for them to finally be banned?
Actually it is. Do you find it bigoted to mock women and use sexist slurs to mock feminism?
Do you think its okay to use racist slurs like "japs" and use racist stereotypical accents?
Any adult can see what that is.
How is it not up to you to judge? You don't need to know them personally to judge the content they release. And if they continue to spout off bigoted shit, I have no problem with calling them bigots.
