First of all, I am posting while drunk. Second, I remember some people at Hexbear saying that Sterling screwed their assistants by not paying them. So, could I get some more details, please, before I remove Sterling from my life?!

    That's pretty fucking awful, way worse than the discord drama or whatever hbomberguy was involved in :yikes:

    I have to say, one of the things I like RLM for is that unlike most other online personalities who've been around a long time there's basically no stink cloud of messy drama, breakups or asshole behaviour wafting around them. It also helps that they maintain a pretty hard separation between their online personas and their personal lives.

      Steph also has a habit of getting into relationships with people that already have kids and complaining about the kids because they don't want to be a parent. Like, why date someone with kids then? That hits home, honestly.

          That's a different person to who they're with now. I didn't look too much into it then but occasionally they'd make a comment on their older podcasts about how they didn't see themselves as a parent which kinda gave me bad vibes. According to Justin, Steph would complain a lot about the kids of whoever they're with now which would make Justin uncomfortable.

      I've been watching RLM for years and was always kind of dreading a reactionary right-wing turn from their content but I'm glad that hasn't happened.

        There have been dumb cringe moments over the years and Mike and Jay aren't based epic leftists but I still love my hack frauds

          In my head cannon Jack is emphatically trying to explain agitprop to a drunk Mike who keeps saying "oh, kind of like in that TNG episode "Cost of Living" where Worf makes his son sign a homework contract but then Troi's mother comes in and convinces him it's a bad deal..."
