loot crate really is the dumbest poo poo imaginable. "oh gee, it's a box full of random poo poo I don't want that no one else will want either."

That, and I don't even really particularly care for everything that's popular right now. I haven't seen a single episode of game of thrones, I'm sick of superhero poo poo and I think doctor who is a load of fuckin' garbage. I'm not into harry potter because I don't have a vagina.

That, and I have so much nerd poo poo, sometimes I have trouble getting rid of it. I'm already drowning in cheaply made memorabilia. I suspect that the people who get stuff like loot crate are new to this whole thing and want to have a bunch of worthless poo poo too so they can be "cool". Oh hey, I have a Thanos (TM) Infinity Gauntlet (TM) oven mitt! Awesome, right?

It's really sad how the one guy says that because RLM in Wisconsin and "doing their own thing" they can "do that" (ie give honest opinions) but "this is my job so I can't". They just straight up admit they're paid nerd hype shills who have to toe the line because "it's my job". Sad.

Apparently he works in the nerd culture industry? I sensed a bit of salt coming from the main guy there. He even did the passive aggressive thing where you pretend not to remember someones name. Nice view count you paid off frauds!

If your channel was popular enough you could just rip apart whatever garbage was in it on video, then destroy it, and still get them from ____crate/box/bin. ~marketing~

apparently the R1 director would just shoot whatever random poo poo he felt like around the set for 1hr/ every day, and marketing got ahold of it so thats why all of those trailer shots are not in the movie

I personally dont think it's racist when you pretend to talk like some other nationality

When americans try to do a swedish chef dialect or when Blizzard hires some american to pretend to be Swedish in OVerwatch I don't consider it racist. I think we should narrow the word "racist" down to things that actually matter instead of expanding it to include every little thing and pretend we are offended by it

Philosophically speaking Richard "Ching Chong that's how they talk" Evans is on the record saying he intentionally made the bit as racist as possible because he was tired of being expected to prank call these numbers and knew it would make it stop.

Which is the most Rich Evans thing ever now that I think about it. I give this white man a pass for exploiting racial misunderstandings to get out of doing hard work.

I would rather believe that a sheltered Milwaukean nerd unintentionally did something offensive and later on tried to come up with some puppet master excuse about doing it on purpose, than he intentionally did something offensive because the RLM crew is so dysfunctional he couldn't just say "yo I don't want to do prank calls anymore"

I also think Rich's explanation is a polite fiction to get the commentators to back off. He clearly loved doing the other prank calls, he took a round of applause.

The best part is when the oven mitt doesn't work because people were dumb enough to use badly made cheap stuff and it causes a twitter debacle.

I have actual skeletons in my closet
My younger brother used to get loot crate and he did it just for tee-shirts and posters. The meta game of it is trading with other people because each crate slightly different. And they provide cheap and easy gifts. It makes sense if you have large circle of nerd friends.

My sister bought me a 6 month subscription to Loot Crate last Christmas and it was all useless cheap poo poo. After the 4th month of me giving her most of the stuff that came in the box, she said "This is all garbage" and told me just to throw it away. I ended up donating the toy stuff to Toys for Tots this past Christmas.

That's my loot crate story.
