good job nerds

I realize that goons are way too cool to ever actually admit to caring about something, but questions and effort post responses and declaring how awful it would be if RLM thought a thing is basically the same as caring.

dreezy posted:

how many of the rlm boys do you think are secretly ayn rand fans? and is it bad that I suspect it's mike rich and jay?

Baronjutter posted:

I hate the fact that if mike or jay suddenly came out with some alt-right screed it would sour the whole thing for me. At the moment they manage to piss off only the most extremes of "both sides" since you have to be the type to even notice that sort of stuff. They'll point out lovely sexism and racism in movies and say that's bad, but also sometimes they make off-colour jokes or roll their eyes at tumblr politics. I think they're pretty ok dudes but don't want to be proven wrong.

For some people out there not liking ghostbusters makes you a crypto-altright anti-feminist. I've run into a couple people who say RLM is just gamergate levels of sexism and alt-right hatred because they really hammered on ghostbusters. No I didn't watch their videos but anyone who publicly makes a big deal about saying the movie is bad is clearly virtue-signalling they are on team alt-right, obviously. It's the only reason to not like it.

Sydney Bottocks posted:

I'd like to think the RLM gang is less alt-right and more "tweaking the noses of easily offended people on both sides". At least I hope so

Also there was one PreReq where Rich was kind of pooh-poohing the protests against Trump, but more in a "he won, protesting now just looks like sour grapes, let's at least wait until he inevitably fucks up" kind of way. While Jack was much more on the "it's their Constitutional right and good on 'em for exercising it" side of things. So Jack's definitely OK in my book :patriot:

boner confessor posted:

they're just moderate midwesterners with lower levels of cultural awareness outside of pop culture and film stuff. there was that one wheel of the worst with s.o.s. and none of them could recognize written japanese on the back of the box. jack and rich are video game nerds, what kind of video game nerd doesn't at least know what japanese looks like

but yeah they just make crass jokes. mike likes to make highly off-color jokes and this is mistaken for alt-right sensibility when really he'd make fun of alt-right internet nerds too if they crossed his path. look at how much all of them piss on star wars fandom and turbonerd star wars geeks

WampaLord posted:

I can guarantee they aren't alt-right, people who are loving never hide that fact for long.

WampaLord posted:

Jack even had that whole bit of "I'm not a gun nut" when talking about Exploding Varmints, it was clear he didn't want to come across as a gun person/conservative.

and obviously Jay is gay and liberal as gently caress, he loves arthouse movies for gently caress's sake.

Grevling posted:

Jessi has the whole "I'm a woman but I don't like feminists" thing going on, and it'd be weird if she and Mike had too opposing views on that. On the other hand, in one WotW it sounded like Mike didn't like Trump and his cabinet picks.
