“Rock bottom for woke Star Wars”? That thumbnail does not sell me on wanting to even open the link to see if it’s crap or sarcasm.

I haven't watched it yet, but RLM tends to dunk on the over politicization by the fandom.

I watched it through. I think their message is more nuanced and varied. They don't tend to fall into culture wars, from either side. For example, they mention the joke that the director of Acolyte made about R2D2 being a lesbian, and ridicule the right-wing reactions to that.

I'd call them a voice of reason, but then again, I'm a long time fan.

They’re pretty reasonable, in fact a lot of the comments are melting down about how rlm is woke now and the like.
