    lol I have a feeling that many people on Hexbear who grew up with the original 2009 review may not like what I have to say and I get that.

    I would point out you've written multiple comments with multiple paragraphs about how much you dislike them, each alluding to how their Stan's on this site are going to be SO PISSED OFF! at you for it, yet so far nobody's really written any sort of major retort or rebuttals. Yeah they have fans here but they seem to have a faction of the dedication you have to your anti-fandom.

    Obsessively hating treats is itself treat-brained behavior and as cringe as any other.

      Listen up, folks, because it's time to tear into Red Letter Media and expose why their film reviews are absolute garbage. Strap in, because this is gonna get rough:

      1. Subjectivity Sucks: These clowns couldn't analyze their way out of a paper bag without resorting to their own biased opinions. Who cares about objectivity when you can just spew out whatever subjective crap you feel like, right?

      2. Sarcasm Over Substance: Forget insightful analysis; Red Letter Media would rather drown you in a sea of snark and sarcasm. It's like they think they're stand-up comedians instead of film critics. Newsflash: they're not funny, they're just annoying.

      3. Criticism? More Like Cruelty: Constructive criticism? Nah, they're too busy ripping apart movies like a bunch of vultures feasting on roadkill. Instead of offering helpful feedback, they'd rather revel in tearing down filmmakers' hard work.

      4. What The Fuck Did You Just Fucking Say? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces.

      5. Consistency? What's That?: Ever notice how their ratings seem to change with the wind? It's like they're making it up as they go along. Consistency? Nah, that's for real critics, not these jokers.

      6. Same Old, Same Old: How many times do we have to watch them review the same tired old movies? Branch out, guys! There's a whole world of cinema out there beyond your mom's basement.

      7. Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet: Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

      8. Dumbing Down Great Works: Some films deserve deep analysis, but Red Letter Media would rather boil them down to cheap jokes and surface-level critiques. Way to miss the point, guys.

      9. Echo Chamber of Idiocy: If you dare to disagree with these clowns, prepare to be shouted down by their legion of brainwashed fanboys. Critical thinking? Nope, just blind devotion to their mediocre opinions.

      In conclusion, Red Letter Media is nothing more than a dumpster fire of film reviews. With their subjective drivel, lack of insight, and penchant for cruelty, they've earned themselves a spot at the bottom of the cinematic trash heap.

        So I actually do have disagreement with all of these point, but I feel like airing them will make me look like a massive RLM stan at which point you can just call me a treat chaser or whatever and dismiss them and I've played that game before, I'd rather not again.

        I will say this...

        Consistency? What's That?: Ever notice how their ratings seem to change with the wind? It's like they're making it up as they go along. Consistency? Nah, that's for real critics, not these jokers.

        This is a GamerGate talking point and I've always found it to be beyond stupid and also almost always falls apart once you actually analyze it. Generally the reviews in question have actually articulately why they gave different reactions to similar pieces of media, and even if they didn't, they ain't fucking car reviews. Also you say "ratings" which is weird cuz I don't think RLM has ever given anything a "score" ever.

          Again, you're casting aspersions on someone's character.

          Don't insinuate something about someone just because you have a disagreement.

          You're literally repeating GameGate talking-points right now and defending a racist and sexist reviewer.

            and defending a racist and sexist reviewer.

            You brought up racism and sexism earlier, I'm curious what you're referring to?

                It's been a long long ass time since I've watched them. A lot of people say they haven't aged well and I don't doubt it. I'll take your word if there some problematic shit in there but I'd prefer specifics if you are more damning accusations.

                  They aren't damning; the TPM reviews being sexist and racist are quite well-known.

                    Alright, they were a while ago and I haven't seen them discussed in years but I will take your word on it.

      I didn't do that though.


      yet so far nobody's really written any sort of major retort or rebuttals.


      Except for you lol


      Yeah they have fans here but they seem to have a faction of the dedication you have to your anti-fandom.


      A faction? And how am I being anti-fandom?

      All I did was state my opinion and you're attacking someone and casting aspersions on their character for simply saying that it's fine if others disagree with them.

      Whatever. You do you.
