Why do they sometimes reveal the truth while pretending to be ironic?

>>212064297 (OP)
RLM are the living embodiment of the smug, detached Gen-X ethos.

I'd venture to guess none of them has felt a single sincere conviction about anything since childhood. They exist as polyps upon the colon of culture, satiating themselves on the perceived failures of others (i.e. "The Man") while adding nothing new to the discourse aside from ironic complaint.

They're a group of insecure, lost, rapidly aging burnouts who silently believe they could do a better job of making films than the professionals in the industry. Yet they lack the ambition and ability to actually enter the very industry they're obsessed with. They choose instead to fuck around and make student film piss-takes well into middle age.

They are awful, awful people. I've met thousands just like them, and the last thing we need is for these people to gain any attention for their navel gazing.

Please, /tv/, do not aspire to become anything like these people. Theirs is a lonely road leading to depression and a life devoid of real purpose.

I hope they disappear and their disaffected followers stop subsidizing their lifestyle. Perhaps that would force them to do something productive with themselves

>>212064332
I like to think this is RLM's Channing and we just don't yet know what awful thing they've done to justify it

They're terrified of becoming culture war guys, even though any genuine, sincere opinion they could give on most modern movies would put them right alongside all the culture war youtuber "chuds" going
>why the fuck is this anemic 60 pound woman fighting a dozen 200 pound body builders and winning?
>Disney is fucking stupid. Why didn't they plan out their movies or hire competent writers and directors?
>They brought back something from our childhoods again and FUCKING RUINED IT
>Podcasters and nerd channels are fucking obnoxious sellout faggots who brainlessly worship brands!
Which are all things they said before, and the second they realized those opinions were resonating with a lot of people, they freaked out because they didn't want to be in the spotlight for being a bunch of chuds who were also part of "the fandom menace" or whatever.

>>212067725

>>212070668
The cope explanation has been that he's such a film buff, he goes to any film event, even the local LGBTQIA+ film festival.

>>212072421
No sane or rational man wants to be anywhere near one of those. They are extremely vapid affairs that overstate the value and substance of work that can't even be considered amateur, but because a "queer" person made, it's supposed to be bad on purpose, and therefore you're supposed to think it's amazing.

i can understand it if it was weird shit like how he enjoys 'outsider art': the John Waters/Divine type stuff.

but if it's just 'normal' gay people and 'queer cinema' is some genre, then they should hate his guts for treating it like a spectacle. of course i'm sure he doesn't, but then what the fuck is his presence there for? yeah he likes films, in general, but why go SPECIFICALLY to the gays' film festival, for gay films? would he go to a blaxploitation festival for/by blacks?

i wish we were still in a time when being a transsexual drama-whore/attention-seeker type could ALSO be entertaining, it was inherently strange and interesting.

i can see him coming at it from that way, it's basically what he says when it comes to Pink Flamingoes and so on. but fuck me when i watch this 'new' 'kweer cinema' it's just so boring. I Saw the TV Glow is meant to secretly be some transgender allegory? well, it's gone way over my head, and it was boring. The People's Joker is tee-hee shitposting Batman/tranny jokes? it's still some horrible YouTube-looking mess, however ironic it is.

this is me ACTIVELY TRYING but it's not freakshit, and it's probably offensive to consider it so. i have no idea what an LGBTQ+ film festival would be other than completely boring, unless you're 'in with the community' (and even then).

>>212076777
I saw the TV Glow is such a vapid pile of bullshit. Unbelievably devoid of any actual meaning, but very aggressively gesturing at some undefinable deeper special emotions and experiences that only trans people have, but not ones that they can actually articulate beyond "you wouldn't get it"

I bet if no one said anything about that movie being tranny bullshit, the trannies never would have clung to it and pretended like it was the most amazing movie ever made, because it ostensibly pays lip service to their identity.

hes not gay, he's a chaser

Rich hates culture war shit, Mike doesn't care about it because he barely uses the internet, Jay is secretly obsessed with it but doesn't want anyone to know so he pretends to be as indifferent as Mike. None of them fit neatly into the zoomer "woke/chud" dichotomy and they have no interest in participating in it.

what i don't get is, why not just make it explicit? i can enjoy some dreamy David Lynch type films/stories, but generally i prefer straightforward social realist flicks. you can STILL shoot it well, tell a good story, have themes, all that. doing it well is just good writing/filmmaking.

picrel. based on a real-life case of a female-to-male transsexual, moved to some American city, blended in as a guy, even had a gf, everyone finds out, gets raped. just tells an interesting story in a grown-up way.

all this 'whoa it's not like, ABOUT transgenders but it's like, the FEELINGS of the TRANS EXPERIENCE, maaan' nonsense makes me feel like it's for 14-year-olds. or schizos.

>>212078169
Modern trannies are obsessed with the belief that they are experiencing something more profound and special and complex than normal people, but also that every normal person is also a tranny waiting to discover the true human experience that you can only get from ritually sacrificing your body with hormones and surgery. Their feelings are impossible to know, but at the same time more true and real than anything any normies could ever know, and also at the same time, too obtuse and nebulous to be explained in an understandable way.

Which is to say that it's all bullshit and they're fucking insane, and all of it really just comes out as an expression of impotent rage that reality and society at large doesn't bend to their whims. Which is why I Saw The TV Glow amounts to
>the trans experience is when you feel like you're secretly really special and cool and you have super deep meaningful relationships with other queer people, but you have to go to work and be normal and no one ever acknowledges how special and cool and magical you are because you're a middle aged loser working at a low paying job.

RLM became way more reluctant to talk about any modern movies, because their voices were being echoed around the internet to express the fatigue and frustration with modern entertainment. Which made RLM a target and gave them a reputation of being part of the problem of man babies on the internet complaining about hollywood's terrible movies and costing all those hardworking faggots and retards the wealth, fame, and success they are entitled to.

So now they actively avoid talking about anything current or relevant, if they can help it.

>>212078524

>>212078634
it all seems utterly backwards. wouldn't you want the opposite of this? just fit in, if it's normal? if some other trans person did that, are they not as seekrit klub special as you? (trying to see this from their perspective, here.)

the irony is, i do think the 'mundane' stories like the Boys Don't Cry one could be interesting, just as they happened. same with some average joe living under Apartheid, or a gay Muslim, or some shit. you could write your memoirs and they don't have to rely on abstract/weird horror film imagery.

>>212079247
Everyone believes in the implicit superiority of whatever they perceive to be their tribe. Whether they're gay, otaku, or pretty much anyone that uses terms adjacent to normie they're looking down their noses at outsiders. Look at it more as master race posturing and it'll start to make sense.

>>212079887
>Everyone
i think it's just narcissists, honestly. you can be part of some unusual group, there can even be direct threats to your life over it, laws you want changing...in which case your goal SHOULD be pragmatic. not 'i am a special anime person, unlike other humans' nonsense.

do you not just want people to not attack you, if that's what's happening? maybe some healthcare stuff, even surgery? because if so, this is absolutely the worst way of going about it all. delete Twitter.

>>212079247
Being normal doesn't get you special treatment, or like the other anon pointed out, superiority. Ironically, the alienation they create by disappearing further up their own asses, the less people want to acknowledge any mutual understanding or common ground that could be reached. Not that they want common ground or mutual understanding. They want to be special. They want people to validate their special feelings.

He seems fine. I feel bad that he threw his hat in with those faggots at Second Wind. They quit their job because of the insufferable faggot who crashed and burned their last company got fired, and then let that idiot run their new company and it started crashing and burning again for the same exact fucking reasons.

>>212080405
makes me wonder if there are older, old-school transsexuals who are just gritting their teeth wishing these anime/autistic/keyboard activist types would shut the fuck up.

>>212081323
>>212081380
guessing 'Second Wind' is a D&D thing? didn't he do some of the Escapist stuff?

i swear to god he gets around ALL the internet content farm/comedy video places, who the hell is he? he randomly turned up in a Captain Disillusion video, and a recent Neil Cicierega video i watched (both people whose videos i like).

sadly like in RLM he's the worst part: does all that improv-kid 'mugging for the camera' and i wish he'd tone it down a notch. people would still like you, dude.

>>212081680
If I'm not mistaken, most of the previous generation of trannies were driven out by tumblr faggots for insisting that you need to be diagnosed and to go through considerable mental screening to actually be trans, instead of it just being a vague feeling or a porn addiction. Nowadays, it doesn't even take any effort to find trannies and tranny allies who will tell you that having autogynephilia and a porn addiction is just as valid and equal to all other forms of trannydom as a "medicalised" professional diagnosis.

>>212081968
where i find the Tumblr/internet side of it actually funny, is that it feels just like an extension of all the 'otherkin' stuff back in the day.

if, through some magic, i woke up in a woman's body, i'm sure i'd be freaked out and want sorcery or surgery to put me back. but claiming being transgender is some borderline-magic, lofty spiritual/New Age nonsense from the get-go? you've lost me. surely you've had your whole life to adjust to it, anyway? people have anorexia, people end up disfigured or lose limbs in horrific accidents, it's a huge mindfuck, but they don't speak about it the same way.

>i am a man who feels attracted to men, there are some health issues, i want equal rights in law
fine, good job gays, glad you've gotten there.
>i am a man who feels attracted to men, but it's deeper than that, in fact, here's just the tip of iceberg of what that MEANS...
not sure what society is even meant to do, there. enshrine in law that you're the chosen one?

It comes down to wanting to enshrine magical thinking and vague feelings as concrete, unquestionable things, while demanding that people do not question the circular logic.

>People can say they are girls because they feel like a girl, which is a thing you just are if you say so
>also everything about "being a girl" requires makeup, dresses, long hair, and a very intentional attempt to copy a specific aesthetic tied to... nothing to do with being biologically female. Shut up bigot.

>>212067077
the YouTube world was so different back then. it's hard to explain how AVGN was once actually fresh just because it was a guy who could actually film.

the first Plinkett review was some /b/tard-lite humour, felt dated at the time, edited SLIGHTLY better than Windows Movie Maker trash. but he also 'made good points' (that had been made better in text a decade earlier, but still, now it's a funny video.)

their low-effort filler videos between their main videos? it's almost something that could passably be on television. except it's on the internet. it's like the rare occasion when someone on Newgrounds actually knew how to animate.

>>212064332

they complain about YouTube's copyright system, how much of the videos/images/audio/music in the Plinkett reviews was created by them? did they ask people for those pictures e.g. 'my dead wife', 'my son', did they take those photos? shoop them themselves?

i know the internet is 'fair game' but 1. they're directly making money from it all, and 2. look at this whole AI debate, now. if i wrote a song and it randomly showed up in a feature film one day, not even for kids/charity or anything, i'd be pretty pissed.
