I wanna get something about the RWBY Hatedom off my chest
wRecently, Rooster Teeth announced theyād be reviewing old content, editing videos and adding disclaimers to some videos if need be, and possibly removing videos deemedĀ āproblematicā. 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 ānewsā channel who caters to the ārightā side of anime fans.
In the video, he makes up some bullshit lies about how Rooster Teeth isĀ āself destructingā (in all honesty, its probably just trying to correct itself becauseĀ āmedia reformā better thanĀ āpolice reformā). People bought into this crap like moths to a flame- heās essentially just lying to these people and obstructing the truth of what the situation really is.
Itās not the first time this character has done it either- because he literally did it THREE WEEKS BEFORE
He has no regards toĀ āmoralsā 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.Ā
Unironic use ofĀ ādestroysā 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 companyās biggest layoff on the SAME day the lay off was announced.Ā
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 Qrowās original voice actor, an alleged rapist. Itās funnier, because before his image becameĀ ābashing Rooster Teethā, he LOVED RWBY.
It was just the second Rooster Teeth saidĀ āmaybe we donāt want this questionable personality associated with usā, he saw the profit in defending a dude who played a few characters he liked.Ā
Iām so tiredĀ of this shit. Iām all for free speech, donāt get me wrong- but that means I can also speak against his opinions. These videos keep popping up in my recommended, and Iām just tired of seeing that stupid impact font.
Iām 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 whoās anti-RWBY videos get more views than anything else they put out?
I think I can just say whoās reallyĀ ādesperateā for views.
