Looking back at this tweet actually makes me feel really sad. It almost feels like Crunchyroll abandoned RWBY. Thankfully Viz acquired the series.

well it was WB that pulled the plug on Rooster Teeth, contracts with crunchyroll then couldn't be renewed so the show had to go down from streaming, same as with happened with the music, and that was happening regardless of where discussions were for funding the next volume

crunchyroll probably was one of the partners they were in discussions with for acquiring the show but viz ultimately won out but i imagine things will continue with crunchyroll in some capacity when Viz has sorted out whatever behind the scenes stuff needs doing to get RWBY back on streaming

For all those RWBY "critics" who claimed that it's crew only cared about money instead of wanting to bring their good friend's dream to life:

Miles worked himself so hard that he considered falling asleep while driving so that he could use the resulting injuries to have a few good nights of sleep in a hospital bed.

Kara worked receptionist shifts so late that she would regularly see Monty fall asleep at his desk, and we all know how hard he worked. While also recording lines for Weiss on top of that.

Lindsay recorded lines for Ruby in V4 and V6 while heavily pregnant and very close to her due date.

Kerry continued working on the show during the Texas power outage, while his house was being used as a shelter by 20 people who had no power, heat, lights, or running water.

Eddy wrote for V8 while he was finalizing the terms and conditions (most notably custody of their daughter) of his and his now ex-wife's divorce.

And my personal favorite (even though the Glassdoor reviews make her controversial):

Barbara recorded lines for Yang even though she had surgery on her hands to treat her hyperhidrosis (causes profuse, involuntary sweating in the extremities) that made them so sore and swollen she struggled to flip the pages of her script.

RWBY was very much made with passion in mind, and anyone who says otherwise is an arrogant and morally dishonest douchebag.

Oh so you saw that too.

Yeah, I'm half certain the Miles bit was a joke about how crunched he was during RvB's 12th season. I don't think that was sincere.

Also- Where do you get the source of '20' people? I checked his twitter and he only states three people and three cats. (https://x.com/kerryshawcross/status/1362447753503076352)

And the Eddy stuff is just normal, albeit tragic life stuff.

Yeah, they've went through shit. Have been ever since Volume 1. But I feel some of this is an overexaggeration.

(P.S. 'Well ALL shows are made for profit! That's just how businesses work!' Yeah but that person was saying RWBY was made PRIMARILY for profit. We both know it: don't try that underhanded shit.)

It's been almost a year since this tweet and Volume 10 still hasn't been greenlit. I just hope that the show can still continue.

Kerry is still working hard and it seems like we might have some good news soonish.

Keep the faith.

an early rwby script

[deanarts22]

for some reasons...

I found some of the toxicity from the RWBY Fandom is a bit much too handle. One, some of the Blacksun shippers blames Arryn Zech and "Lied" about her bullying Mile and Kerry. I may not know Arryn Zech in person because I live in another country and for sure English is not my mother language. As you could see, why would you Blame Arryn Zech for not making your ship shown on the show? I mean she's just a VA of Blake and loves to ship Bumblebee, and other ships like us. Either would say, She's NOT the creator of RWBY nor one of the writters of RWBY. I would technically point out Monty Oum for creating RWBY along with Miles and Kerry.

And Two, why would you guys point out that "Monty wouldn't want any of this." for starters do you know what Monty wants to the show? I would technically give you guys a piece of my mind if you guys don't know at all, or you guys are playing stupid just to make the RWBY fandom toxic as it ever be. I'm not saying it's already toxic, I'm saying is that y'all need to calm down for a while about your ship. And if your going to blame Arryn Zech for all the things happening to the show, and how she gave you that kind of vibe "All I care is my ship", let me remind you some of the Blacksun shippers or Tauradonna that Arryn is just a person like you and I. She's not the creator of RWBY nor the writers, she's just a VA doing her job right. I'm not saying this cause I'm her fan and I'm also a shipper of BMBLB I'm just pointing out some of the flaws here in the RWBY fandom and sometimes it can be a bit too much. Monty Oum didn't want any diversity towards us fans when it terms to ship and opinions towards a certain scene in RWBY.

Three, Some of you guys even went this low to say that Arryn Zech should be fired from her work? Let's just say, what IF Arryn lost her job? What if!? Would the new VA of Blake will be bad as Arryn and force Blacksun to happen? I think not, Arryn is just Blake's voice actor not RWBY's creator.

See that text? I already high light it for you guys to understand. And let me tell ya that probably, JUST PROBABLY Monty Oum the creator of RWBY planned this from the very start, before the actual premiere of RWBY. He probably planned this ever since Miles and Kerry decide to go along with him in terms of writting the series, and after he died, Miles and Kerry already know what to do with the series' plot. And they already planned it out, because they know what are the things they should do cause Monty's already explain to them the pattern to make the show successful.

Would you guys think that Yang is a terrible sistee towards Ruby? May I also remind you Yang is like Ruby's backbone in making team RWBY strong. Cause without her how can Ruby grow as a character we all knew and love. I mean look at this! When they have a reunion in Volume 5, Yang didn't do anything but to hug Ruby and said she loves her very much to Ruby's aspect she expect that Yang should be mad at her.

And Four, I saw some of you guys says that Yang is the abuser and she's the worst sister ever. Can you rewatch RWBY and point out what abuses Yang did to Ruby and Blake and how she is the 'worst' character to you? Sure she raise her voice to Ruby because she was hurt, and can't handle the pain of Blake leaving her. Between the rest of team RWBY, the most who had a deeper connection in each characters are Blake and Yang, cause one would when Blake was in driven by capturing Roman, who do you think is the one who talked to her. It was Yang right? Not Weiss, Ruby nor even Sun. Would you also say that Yang hit Blake to make her stop?

She didn't cause in the end she hug her to make her realize that she needs to stop. She needs to rest sometimes, and she needs to let this things go.

I see no abuses here and there. It just Yang is concern for Blake and all. And would you think that Arryn Zech pushed this too? No, cause this was all on Monty's plan. Up to the part when Yang and Blake needs to face Adam all over again on Volume 6. She didn't leave Blake alone to face Adam, in fact she rather risk her life to be with her. Adam's death is not poor writting of Miles and Kerry, but all part of the plan of Monty.

rooster teeth + their antisemitism.

bringing this thread over but it can also be found on twitter here. ♥ 

disclaimer : i am jewish + have been watching rt's work (mainly rwby) for like 3 years now. i'm not saying they're aggressively antisemitic but bigotry doesn't need to be violent to be bigotry. ignorance is also not an excuse.

the most foremost + prominent of their antisemitic behaviour is their animated show "camp camp", which i've pointed out before in other tweets the absolute bucket full of antisemitic caricatures + "jokes". they were asked about this in an ama + this was their response.

this ... is a piss poor response. the featuring of antisemitism in their show for jokes did nothing to address how cruel + hateful + harmful antisemitism & those who follow that mindset are. they did nothing to "condone" antisemitism in their jokes because there's no push back.

the characters used for these jokes, a literal adolf hitler stand in, are idolized + adored by the fandom. by the creators themselves. all you need to do is google the character's name or look in their tumblr tag + you'll find cute fanart for days. of a literal dictator stand in.

camp camp has been called out by jewish people before, for the weird amount of antisemitic "jokes" in it that feature the character "dolph" (our adolf hitler stand in) targeting the only jewish character in the cast, neil. this features mainly in the episode reigny day.

the show is directed by a jewish man, @/JordanCwierz (not that it excuses the antisemitism, you don't need to propogate hate against your own people with your shitty comedy show) but the episode itself was written by @/kerryshawcross, who is not.

in the episode reigny day; there are multiple references to jewish suffering + prominent jewish figure anne frank. from neil hiding in the attic, writing in his diary; to dolph demanding the other kids write numbers on their arms in reference to the concentration camps.

& for all rt said the want to "condone this hate"; at the end of the episode, dolph is given an award for all he did during the episode. this isn't condemnation, this is literally praise! this is making fun of a genocide that some people still to this day don't believe happened.

and when you look at the comments, well. i'm not seeing any condemnation, rooster teeth. i thought you were shedding light on the dark parts of the world to not condone it? mind telling your fans that?

the references to the tragedies during Shoah (the holocaust) isn't just contained to reigny day; it also featured in the premiere episode of season 2 of camp camp — cult camp. there, they reference the gas chambers used to murder jewish people. & they lampshade it too.

again: while this show is directed + overseen by a jewish man, that does not erase the fact that these tragedies, that are *still denied by a good chunk of people in modern day* are being used for comedic value with no push back or condemnation. & are written by two non jews.

it's even more frustrating when in the episode reigny day, there was a genuinely funny joke about neil's jewish identity that didn't play on tragedy or antisemitism! they can do this but choose to be lazy + co opt a genocide for humour !!

i haven't even gone over the breadth of "jokes" mired in antisemitism or just plain RACISM in that episode but to quote a handful : 

adolph saying juice to mean "jews" when neil was hiding in the attic

adolph not approving of "mixing colours"

adolph does the nazi salute

so this was camp camp. unfortunately, the antisemitism is not contained only to camp camp, it has it's roots in rooster teeth's other main ip; rwby. mainly with the treatment of the characters coco adel + adam taurus, though in different ways + from different audiences.

the antisemitism through coco adel comes from the person her character is modelled after; known nazi collaborator, coco chanel. coco adel is a "fashionista" who follows her teams "themeing" of sweets; her's being chocolate. however a large portion of her design is based on, coco chanel, as seen through her famed necklaces, beret, the bag, her emblem and her colour scheme of black + gold.

while coco chanel is known for her fashion company; she's also known for the fact that she built that fashion company on the back of being a nazi collaborator. this woman spied for + slept with nazis. it's not outright antisemitism but it is uncomfortable + inappropriate.

especially when : a. coco (adel) is a lesbian, + would've been killed by the people that her major inspiration supported & b. we need to stop elevating antisemitic icons to fame because they were "infamous." there were plenty of other fashion designers to use.

i had brought this up before + non jewish people in the rwby fandom were quick to jump to rooster teeth's defence, despite their previous antisemitism, & play the martyr for this company of majority non jewish people.

rooster teeth are not stupid, no matter how much they try to convince you they are so they can have excuses for things like the entire white fang plotline or how may zedong sounding like mao zedong is just a coincidence, or how they refer to a chinese character as a ninja.

from coco we go onto adam which is more of a fandom thing, but has been encouraged with the weird amount of ableism coming from vas + writers alike with his backstory + storyline. adam is a faunus, an ethnic minority in the world of remnant that are poc - coded.  in his backstory he was a child slave to a racist company who was scarred using a branding iron over his eye. this was very reminiscent of african slaves being branded when they tried to escape but is overlooked by the majority white fandom.

people also feed into the hate for this character with a va, arryn zech’s unfounded headcanons that he was a "psychopath who tortured animals as a kid"; miss zech has her own history of ableism that's excused but to put this on a minority character is disgusting.

this all feeds into how the fandom will call adam a "nazi"; he follows his own ideal of how faunus are superior to humans + that they will rule remnant given the chance. a gross mentality but not one appropriate to call him a nazi. why?

because nazism is white supremacy.

nazi ideology is directly tied to the ideal of a white, superior race that should rule. adam is a POC CODED CHARACTER. he is part of the minority in remnant + the writers compared him to malcolm x, which is a whole other bag of cats that is inappropriate for me to comment on.

comparing fictional characters to nazis is antisemitic in and of itself. nazis are still very much real and a dangerous threat to jewish people to this day. we don't need goyim appropriating our struggles + fear to hate on a fictional character. yet it keeps happening.

overall; rooster teeth is not outright with their antisemitism. but that's the point. these are majority non jewish creators either unaware or uncaring of the hatred they are validating + do not care enough to fix it when we are tired of it.  this mentality then bleeds into the fandom itself + puts jewish members of the fandom at risk. it makes us feel uncomfortable, it hurts us to see other members of the fandom idolize people with this mindset + the antisemitic characters they create.

at the end of the day, there is a culture here that has not been addressed completely. they will pay lipservice to jewish fans (with the chanukkah tweet) but then keep playing into stereotypes + harmful antisemites. it has to change + be acknowledged. by rt + the fandom alike. @ people in the rooster teeth fandom, who enjoy rwby or camp camp, LISTEN TO JEWISH PEOPLE. we are uncomfortable!! we are hurting!! we are tired of you not fucking listening to us because you don't think it's antisemitic as if you're the people being hurt. do fucking better.

Kob, let me say this slowly, so that even your brain can understand it.

Hold on, let me get some shit together:

You (You following me?).

You’re racist towards white people as well as sexist towards men?

Yes, yes I am following you.

Nearly (Do I still have your attention?)

You nearly don’t see Miles Luna as a human being, evident by how you refuse to capitialize his name?

Oh...

Like that time you tried suicide baiting Mage because he called you out on trying to use LGBT suicide rates as a gotcha against RT, despite Mage being Bisexual himself?

Oh but you’ll say you apologized right?

Well, if you can call “I want someone to now drink bleach enough to not die but go unconscious so he stops calling out my hypocrisy” an apology.

http://dudeblade.tumblr.com/post/163220742016/i-need-to-say-this

Oh and you only did this AFTER you were called out.

Wait, I seem to be forgetting something....

https://web.archive.org/web/20170608202120/http://dudeblade.tumblr.com/post/160140162256/sokumotanaka-whenever-kob-makes-a-post

Oh yeah, you suicide baited ME too!

You DID police people. You still ARE. You literally police people on how they can criticize a show. You police people on what they criticize the show for. Seriously. To anyone who doubts this, scroll down to the description of this journal entry, and see how KoB supposedly doesn’t police people’s opinions.

You mean like what you do with your fanfics by calling anyone who doesn’t like them trolls and demand that your TV Tropes page be totally positive?

Oh but Dudeblade...Surely you can do better. I mean...after all...

I have the actual comment thread:

https://comments.deviantart.com/1/619991269/4290345087?offset=0#comments

So now they can see how much of a monster I truly a-

*Sigh* Look, I never meant for you to get this stressed out. Hell, I understand where your coming from. Thinking about killing myself is such a common occurrence now I'm not even fazed by it anymore. So putting aside my feeling towards you and your conduct, I want you to listen to what i have to say: Your life matters. No matter what you think I've said, no matter what other people have said, no matter what you say, your life matters. You have friends and family who love and care about you and if you kill yourself, all it will do is wound those around you. It's painful I know but it's true. The best thing you can do is seek help above all else. Trust me, psychiatrists maybe be expensive by by divinty' sake they are miracle workers. And I know you're sick of hearing about this anime but really, look up Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. That anime is a large part of why I get out of bed in the morning even thought I know there's a very good chance I'll choke to death on my breakfast, lunch or dinner or that my life probably doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things. It taught me to keep moving forward no matter what I lose or what I suffer because there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The journey is hard and long but it's worth it. I never intended on hurting you. Had I known you were this psychologically fragile or you were this invested in Pyrrha I would have said nothing. I understand where you are coming from and I'm sorry I did so much damage to you. I was wrong and you were right. Good day.

Oh...

Looks like I never intended to do that and actively worked against that.

Almost like the OP was using me to lock out anyone who disagreed with them and you’re nothing but a liar.

He is a literal monster. This is a guy who would take a look at the fucking klan, and far left activists, and say “The people who claim anyone disagreeing with them are nazis are just as bad as the KKK.” Literally all he does is fucking whine and complain that people don’t absolutely love the show that he defends. This is a guy who would probably say that nazis have a right to shout “all Jews should be killed” on the grounds of free speech. 

Oh so now we’re gonna get political huh?

Okay Dudeblade...

Black Lives Matter:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xet3BnwLtek

Mind telling me how this is any different than shouting to kill all the black people WITHOUT mentioning they're black or slavery/segregation since that doesn’t excuse this shit?

Or how about Antifa...whose committed multiple crimes and ARE policing what people do and think?

Or how about this list of shit far left has pulled snce Trump’s election?

https://eclipzex77.tumblr.com/post/176309723232/amarretto-cowboy-prcximity4

Because all I see is shit that the KKK pulled in the past.

Oh and how about we take a look in your politics tag hm?

None of you CARE that your actions are destroying the lives of innocent people.

#CinderLives Rant

RWBY Volume 5 was good but I literally can't watch it until @TheMilesLuna , @kerryshawcross , god damn anyone! confirms that Cinder Lives. Like THAT is the only reason I haven't rewatched Volume 5 yet because all I can think is "You better f**kin not @RoosterTeeth ! Don't. You. DARE!".

RWBY Volume 5 would literally be twice as good for me if there was a small end credit scene where we saw her Grimm arm burst out from a pile of rocks (I was not joking when I said I'll stop supporting the show if they kill her off like that)
