This is a Tumblr dedicated to Rooster Teeth Animation's new show gen:LOCK

While I have made it a goal in recent years to call out RT for being shit this news still is a shock and my heart goes out to all of the hard working amazing people who will lose their jobs.

All of us who were ride or die on gen:LOCK Season 1 despite the haters, only to watch all the stuff about what was going on at RT Animation during production come out, and then seeing what HBO did with Season 2:

YES PAY KDIN AT THE BARE MINIMUN cause she’s not the only one who wasn’t paid

[moyarb]

Hot take: RT/AH never had a Golden Age.

Kdin's mistreatment dates back to 2013. The RH shit dates back to 2016. I remember Gavin's answers in old Jackbox gameplays had to be censored. I remember someone was telling r*pe jokes in a 2015 episode of On the Spot. Mica, Fiona, and other POC faced harassment from trolls and were never defended. There are probably a bunch of other shitty things that happened that we're unaware of, but a lot of the stuff that has come to light occurred during the supposed "Golden Age" of RT/AH.

So can people maybe stop wishing for the "Golden age" to return when you actually mean you wish you could go back to watching "Things to Do" and RWBY while being blissfully unaware that a lot of terrible things were happening at the same time?

And let’s not forget that for editors in general and animation (besides higher ups) overtime has always been a thing so no there was never a  “Golden Age” of RT/AH/FH

Long Time No See

Hello as you might have guessed I didn’t watch gen:LOCK season 2 because Fuck RT and Fuck Haddock (I know he had nothing to do with season 2 but that still stands) I’m going to be making some posts here in the coming days because of what’s been going on Twitter because I want this to be just as much of the my public fan account because nothing has changed since 2019 and my heart breaks for everyone who has been hurt by RT

[genlockfans]

This is why I'm not very active here these days while I enjoyed the show I have a hard time removing it from the actually pain it has caused to people who I care about.

gen:LOCK Season 2 Synopsis

   On a dying Earth in the midst of a now unstoppable climate collapse, two utterly distinct visions for the future of the human race have come to dominate: The Polity and the Union. The future of humanity, if it is to have one, rests in some form of mechanization or digitization. On opposing sides of this fundamental debate, the Polity and the Union remained locked in a brutal and unforgiving war…

    A war the Polity is losing, despite the heroic efforts of their greatest soldiers, the Gen:Lock team – Chase, Cammie, Yaz, Kazu and Val, who continue to upload their minds to their Holon units and fight for their vision of a better future on the front lines.

   As we meet the figurehead of the Union — Brother Tate — and the citizens for whom he spills Polity blood, the nature of the conflict between the two sides will be seen in a whole new light. A light that, for Chase, will test his loyalty to the Polity… as he digs deeper into the nature of the war and realizes nothing he thought is what it seems…

gen:LOCK: Storm Warning Excerpt

The last few months have been a whirlwind for Cammie MacCloud. Ever since she agreed to join the gen:LOCK program to help fight the Union, an authoritarian force threatening the world, she’s been struggling to find her place in the group. As a 17-year-old genius hacker, she doesn’t really fit in among the other four recruits: She can’t shoot, she isn’t the most graceful in the field, and her brash style doesn’t exactly jibe with Command. But Cammie notices things the others don’t, and she has the skills to investigate when something feels off… like their latest mission, which finds them stranded at the center of a deadly storm with a Union spy in their midst. Don’t miss this epic, original novel from multiple award-winning author Melissa Scott and the gen:LOCK writers!

Welp kids it's official dispute me kind of holding out hope Gray Haddock is not writing season 2 and Evan Narcisse is the only member of the original writters coming back to the show.
