RLM got pretty bad in one of the later Plinkett Star Wars reviews. Mike was pontificating about "forced diversity" without using that term exactly and his argument boiled down to something like: "This is a movie for kids, and when I was a kid, me and my friends never noticed or talked about race."

They just don't get it

The thing is, they constantly mention in their videos that they resent being dismissed as "flyover" midwesterners by coastal elites. Fine, I understand that lib stereotype of middle America isn't helping things. Yet from time to time the RLM crew does reveal they do hold some backwards or questionable views

I don't think they try to be reactionary. Politics isn't a big part of their content. They're certainly not ideologues or part of the right wing grifter media sphere, and I don't think people should go after them

But do think twice before recommending their videos. Wouldn't recommend anyone Asian watch the video where Rich, upon seeing Leo Fong, laughs and bellows out, "Why's his face so flat?" and a big "racist" label ironically pops up
