I wanna get something about the RWBY Hatedom off my chest
wRecently, Rooster Teeth announced they’d be reviewing old content, editing videos and adding disclaimers to some videos if need be, and possibly removing videos deemed “problematic”. Nothing wrong with that.
However...one man keeps blowing a minor event like this out of proportion.
The man in question is a character named HeroHei, a Youtube “news” channel who caters to the “right” side of anime fans.
In the video, he makes up some bullshit lies about how Rooster Teeth is “self destructing” (in all honesty, its probably just trying to correct itself because ‘media reform’ better than ‘police reform’). People bought into this crap like moths to a flame- he’s essentially just lying to these people and obstructing the truth of what the situation really is.
It’s not the first time this character has done it either- because he literally did it THREE WEEKS BEFORE
He has no regards to “morals” and blows everything out of proportion. Examples include-
Bashing an uninformed thirteen year old.
Covering people who left the company (presumably) on good terms and / or did not have anything to do with RWBY as a whole.
Unironic use of “destroys” and lying about plotpoints.
Trying to make the fandom look more TOXIC than it is...
And probably the worst one of them all-
Covering the company’s biggest layoff on the SAME day the lay off was announced.
I wouldn't say RT is on a downward slope, but rather characterize the changes as growing pains. They have to balance fiduciary responsibilities now on top of their creative breadth of content (Lets Plays, Podcasts, live-action departments (comical and narrative), transitioning some of those to actual television, animations-some of which are gaining traction in the anime world (depending on who you ask), and then factor in that the faces/talent have said on different occasions that they want RT to be a place where everyone can pitch their creative ideas and you've got A LOT to manage/balance.
Hei THRIVES off of bashing this show and company, simply because Rooster Teeth fired Qrow’s original voice actor, an alleged rapist. It’s funnier, because before his image became “bashing Rooster Teeth”, he LOVED RWBY.
It was just the second Rooster Teeth said “maybe we don’t want this questionable personality associated with us”, he saw the profit in defending a dude who played a few characters he liked.
I’m so tired of this shit. I’m all for free speech, don’t get me wrong- but that means I can also speak against his opinions. These videos keep popping up in my recommended, and I’m just tired of seeing that stupid impact font.
I’m losing track here- I implore each and everyone of you reading this to call him out on his clickbait bullshit.
...and if I have a video made about me, a random person just rambling on about some idiot with...what, a 100k who’s anti-RWBY videos get more views than anything else they put out?
I think I can just say who’s really “desperate” for views.
