FUck it. You asked for this.
I grew up in an abusive household. I was physically abused, sexually abused, and this was all in the context of what was essentially a protestant Christian religious cult, growing up in which left me cripplingly sheltered.
The original Star Wars movies, and the prequels, which I were smack in the right demographic for (I was like 5 when I saw them) were, along with Lord of the Rings and extremely nerdy sci-fi shit like Issac Asimov, like the one really happy point in my extremely cucked existence.

So when the RLM reviews laid into those movies (a bunch of 30 year olds telling my suicidal highschool self why these movies that I loved and that fantasy world that was kind of my crutch for getting through life without wanting to kill myself were actually bad), and when I forced myself to agree with them because the reviews were popular (and to some extent I was self aware of how disadvantageously sheltered I was when I reached highschool, and thought to myself "I am sheltered: these guys must be more well adjusted than me + they're older so they must know what they're talking about) I was actually prepared to accept RLM's assessment and also that Star Wars was over. I now new the prequels weren't popular, and I accepted that George had made his 6 movies, told the story he wanted to tell, I liked it, normalfags didn't, but that's ok. I'm moving on with my life.

Then I hit college.
I was ready to move on from Star Wars but apparently Walt Disney corp. wasn't, and with their marketing wave they tried to make sure no one else was.
The sequels came out and they were terrible.
And not in a funny way, but in a way that felt like a hate campaign.
This made me re-evaluate the value of RLM's reviews which also came across in hindsight as degenerate and hateful.
And indeed, they have degenerated public discourse with their brand of self-loathing comedy "critique"

Don't be oversensitive when I tell you RLM were in the wrong.
