So far, I've been 100% correct in my guess, and it's about bad comedy and not "oh no, ladies in my Ghostbusters!

Eh, Mike was super excited about it and it looked like it was shot literally 5 minutes after watching it at 2 in the morning. And of course when Mike loves something the others bend to his will.

RLM is usually way above, say, South Park in their humor style. They do feature a lot of gross/mean thing, but the point is that those ARE gross and mean things done by awful people. They don't pretend it's cool or edgy or even offer a "sensible middle path" like South Park.

They are not ultra-progressives, granted, but they don't have to be. Rich Evans openly called several alt-right 'skeptics' morons and doubled down on it onscreen. Mike even admitted to being disturbed by the 'hidden' message of Starship Troopers (Violence solves everything, go with the vile status quo, actually caring gets you killed).

They even said that the female Ghostbusters cast was one of the few good ideas in the remake that could have elevated it somehow if it wasn't so crap in every other level. They bring up issues like sexism, racism and such often, but don't really linger on them, which is fine because they are cinema buffs talking about movies and geek stuff.

That is not to say that tons of edgelords can't ignore that and see it as a defense of their poo poo.

Mr. Plinkett is in dire peril of being the new Pepe, is what I'm saying.

The ghostbusters video was good and literally just talked about the movie being awful. Made one joke about possibly being called a sexist at no ones expense except maybe crazies who would think being critical of ghostbusters means you hate women.

It's a shame that literal misogynists/altright cling to otherwise good things and taint it with their affection but even Rick and morty has a scene where they explicitly beat the poo poo out of a nazi, and various rlm people have stated on multiple occasions how awesome it is to kill nazis in movies and video games and real life.

Its true, one day a man will be born able to perceive feminine and masculine ghosts. Until that day, we have women of second sight limited purely to feminine ghosts.

That reminds me of the bunny hop video about movie games. The movie isn't really about hunting ghosts, so a ghostbusters game there's a third person shooter is going to feel like crap

Ah Jordan Owen. A man so repugnant that when he tried to make a Sierra documentary the only person he could get on camera was Al Lowe, and that was before people told him who and what he is. Like literally no one associated with Sierra past or present will talk to him, it's fantastic.

Didn't Jordan Owen repeatedly refer to a stripper in Las Vegas as his "special someone"? Not shaming the stripper, just the fact that an Objectivist Ubermensch™ had to pay for sex.

it could be a gimmick, on the other hand there's something appealing about blind authoritarianism and being able to spin your vague bullshit as unquestionable theology

one of aurini's most popular recent videos is this long thing that ties the kek meme to ancient gods and im not going to click on it to find out if he's serious or not but i assume it's just rambling garbage

There's apparently enough Christians and Pagans that they get into internet slapfights with each other. Often accusing each other of being secret Jews.

Yeah they were always transparently more about the freedom of the landlord and the mill owner from the Crown and the Church than the freedom of the peasant and the worker from the landlord and the mill owner. It's no surprise that people still into that after it had achieved most of its goals are right wingers looking to sound progressive.

TAA is one of the Sargon-likes, and he tried to debate a Marxist over the Labour Theory of Value. It's a loving 4 hour long video, so these are the highlights of TAA having a meltdown culminating in the reveal that he has no idea what the LTV even is and tried to debate somebody over its validity.
