This is all I’ll say on this

Fuck RT. One is a mistake, two is concerning but three is a pattern. I’ve never been more fucking happy Matt is my PFP and not anyone else.

I feel like I just need to get my thoughts out on what’s been happening with Achievement Hunter/Rooster Teeth. I haven’t been an active fan in years. But I still watch old videos and enjoy the content. My heart is shattered over what’s happened.

I first want to say I have no doubts in any stories I hear about what RH did. I am disgusted and disappointed. I started watching achievement hunter when I was 11. 9 years ago. They’ve gotten me through middle and high school, shitty jobs, shitty relationships and a suicide attempt. I loved watching them. It was the highlight of my day. The “og 6” with Geoff, Jack, [redacted], Michael, Gavin, and Ray, basically was all I watched in middle school. They’ve been active in my life for 9 years. This shit hurts. I hurt for everyone affected. I’m sorry to the girls that were abused and groomed by RH. I see you, I hear you, and I believe you.

I don’t know where to go from here. I want to watch the same content I always have. But I don’t want to support RH, who is in the videos I most often rewatch. I don’t know what to do. I am full of confusion and guilt. I feel like writing this out might make me feel better. Idk. I’m just heartbroken.

Long story short, FUCK RH, I still love achievement hunter, and I hope everyone can heal.

I think I’ve finally sorted out what I’ve been feeling for the past few days.

It’s disappointment at the whole thing. It’s horror at how some “fans” reacted, how absolutely vile some got. It’s sympathy/empathy for everyone affected; the fans, AH/RT, his family, even Ryan himself (I know what it’s like to have people suddenly turn on you and fear for your safety and those you care about. It fucks you up. I don’t think I’d wish it on anyone). It’s anger at how this played into the hands of the anti-RT trolls, and at them for some of what was done (betting about who’s going to kill themselves first ffs!). It’s disorientation because I just haven’t been able to distract myself from it all and the horrible thoughts that have been spiralling around my brain. There’s even a bit of self-loathing (or similar, I’m not quite sure how to name this one) because this is the fourth time I’ve gotten close to something RT and had things go wrong, each time worse than the last; I’m really feeling like I’m some sort of RT-activated bad luck charm (way to be like your favourite RWBY character, huh?).

But mostly, it’s just grief. I’ve been mourning a lot of things. The happiness I (and others) had found in this group and Ryan specifically. All the fanworks that have been/are going to be abandoned or deleted. So many things. But particularly, a lot of “looking forward to”s and “could have been”s, futures I had been imagining. I was excited for Grudge Night. I was considering watching RvB Zero, despite never having watched any RvB before, because I wanted to hear him getting to play a villain again. I was hoping he might be in Dead Little Roosters because I’d loved him in the others. I wanted to see the “Ryan’s in Smash!” jokes culminate with a tournament where he got to play as “himself”. I was hoping to make it to Let’s Play Live one day or have RTX Sydney come back and see him there. I had just started watching his personal streams, tomorrow is the one-month anniversary of me subscribing to him on twitch. I was going to join the discord for it. I was thinking of cosplaying The Vagabond. All those possibilities gone up in smoke in a couple of days...

There’s also a tiny little touch of hope. Hope that it’ll all work out ok in some way, even if it takes a long time. It’s dimmed a lot and been hard to find at times, but it’s still there somewhere...

Am I the only one who immediately thought Ryan was cosplaying as Dr. Horrible? Now all I can think are dumb AUs where Gavin is Penny and Michael is Captain Hammer.

[maxxybear]

I love them both
