Can’t wait for people to post the receipts on RLM being a bunch of misogynists a decade ago.

Anonymous asked: hey do you haven any links for the videos where they say this stuff? I like RLM but I don't want to watch them anymore if they're really that bad, I always got a bad vibe from Rich Evans but idk

They’ve used “retard” as an insult many times since the beginning. Just off the top of my head I remember it in the Star Wars episode 3 Plinkett video, the Amazing Spider-Man Half in the Bag episode, and if you want an especially heinous example, they made an animated Gummi Bears parody at some point where the “Retard Bear” eats the villain. They deleted all their animation videos though but not because they were offensive, just because the animation was ass.

Mike uses “person of gender” as an insult in the Force Awakens Plinkett video. This is the same video where he claims that Star Wars doesn’t need black characters because it’s “above race”. Meanwhile he shows a video of a black kid playing with an Obi-Wan figure, so I guess black kids doesn’t need black role models because they like Obi-Wan.

Rich uses autism as an insult around the 31:30 mark in Best Of The Worst episode 37. After calling someone autistic, Mike says “you’ve done that before and everyone freaked out”, so this wasn’t the first time. Rich responds to this with “I don’t give a shit, he’s autistic”. Then he goes on to rant about political correctness. “If you can’t handle a word you don’t like, grow a fucking spine. Go get laid you virgins”. While Rich is ranting, Mike jokes about “#autism-shaming”, so he clearly doesn’t think ableism is a problem in the slightest. This gross video now has over a million views.

In the same video they have a running gag where Rich yells out “AIDS!” because they think it would be hilarious if the wheel landed on an educational video about AIDS. Cuz you know, a disease that kills 7,000 gay men in the US every year is absolutely hilarious, right? Great allies.

In the same video AGAIN, they make fun of a guy that died and says “thank god he’s dead” just because they disliked his harmless mushroom movie.

They claim that the Ghostbusters reboot sexism backlash is a hoax by Sony to start drama in the “Scientist Man Analyses Ghostbusters (2017)” video. This video is a follow-up to the “Rich Reacts to Ghostbusters (2017)” where Rich basically calls the movie shit based on nothing but the idea of a female Ghostbusters movie.

In the Half in the Bag Captain America: Civil War episode, they keep referring to Falcon, War Machine and Black Panther as “the black ones”. They refer to everyone else by name, but when they refer to these characters they just call them “the black young one, the black old one and the black one with an accent”. The joke is that all black people are the same.

The “#autism-shaming” thing is actually a running gag where they complain about “PC” terms. They’ve also laughed at “#fat-shaming” and “#midget-shaming” (yes, that’s what they called it) just to name a few. This is just a different version of the “#triggered” joke that all other edgelords makes.

They’ve made rape jokes since the beginning. The Plinkett videos has many gags where the entire joke is that he kidnaps, rapes and murders women. There was also a gag where Plinkett jerked off to kids. And later in (i believe) Half in the Bag, they made a character called “Rape-bot 5,000″ or some shit.

They’ll often insult movies about minorities without even watching them. They attacked The Danish Girl (a movie about a transgender person) and The Fault In Our Stars (a movie about a disabled person) and called them “pretentious oscar-bait” before even watching them, based on nothing but the premise.

I haven’t provided links because their videos makes me uncomfortable (i only looked up the timestamp for the autism rant because it’s a great example of how shitty they are) but you can easily look up any of these videos except the Gummi Bears one. RedLetterMedia has never tried to hide that they’re shitty, ableist, transphobic edgelords and any of their hardcore fans are well aware of this.

And these are just the videos that I happen to have watched or heard other people complain about. There are literally hundreds of Best of the Worst and Half in the Bag episodes I haven’t watched where they probably say horrible shit too.

So yeah, RedLetterMedia are fucking garbage and you can consider this a callout.
