#arent your friends and that they should block and unsubscribe. he’s such a fucking joke lmfao

the rooster teeth/achievement hunter community has a very long standing issue with racism and misogynoir and people are constantly looking to condemn black female cast members the very SECOND they say something that might be considered reprehensible by THEIR standards. anything harmful they get thrown their way is suddenly justified or expected or ignored just because somebody thinks they’re annoying or they did something in their past that if a fellow (white or male) coworker told the story, it’d get joked about for years, but because a black woman did it suddenly everything isn’t a joke and she’s given an ultimatum to apologize.

and before you fix your face to complain, regardless of what hembo said, this situation has A LOT to do with race. because when you make a video like this trying to “cancel” a black content creator in a predominantly white sphere, especially one with a community who has been notoriously racist in the past, i remind you, this opens up the floor for people to justify harassing them for god knows how long over something that was just a laugh between them and their friends. not that this doesn’t happen to nonblack folks too, but black people and poc always get the full force of it because of people’s unconscious bias.

and another thing, i think it’s so funny how he had a freudian slip at the beginning of his video saying his stance had nothing to do with race or gender, but you can talk about how you think stealing is wrong without those topics ever coming into question. immediately bringing that up to defend your pov really shows how you think subconsciously. and it’s borderline HILARIOUS how all he did to “condemn” the actions of rh is to continue to have videos WITH him up, but only delete the ones solely centered around him and make an edit of how to words good without him in it, but ky gets an entire 3 minute rant dedicated to how little he respects her and how he won’t be including her in his compilations going forward because she talked about stealing candy from a store in college. didn’t even brag about it or endorse shoplifting like hembo and his loyal fans are saying he did. & let’s not act like the stories of theft and activities MUCH WORSE than this haven’t been uplifted in the community and immortalized in rtaa’s.

like yall really do piss me off with your fucked up senses of right and wrong and what you consider to be cause enough to have a reaction like this over something so morally neutral as shoplifting. and the fact that i’ve already seen comments on his video not talking about the topic at all and just using this as an excuse to be like “FINALLY, i KNEW i had a rightful reason for always hating that bitch” is just so telling of how you guys will lie in wait for a person of color to have one little slip up and then it’s dogpile city.

by the way…..the fact that he can even think to be so petty as to make a video like this when his entire channel is built upon taking clips from rt videos and redistributing them is the funniest thing about this entire situation. like the call is coming from inside the house.

but in short. hembohero is a bitch who has hopefully lost any and all of the respect that he once had regardless of how you feel about shoplifting, vilifying black women and people for doing things on a much smaller scale than their white counterparts who get to laugh and joke about it is a racial bias, and if you’re going to try and condemn ky over this, you better be keeping that same energy for the cast members who have told similar stories in the past, or WILL tell similar stories in the future. goodnight.
