#rt hate

[lacependragon]

Once again consumed by the unending annoyance and rage at people caring more about a pair of fictional women kissing (badly animated, at that, it's so fucking stiff) over the treatment of real-life people who are actually, really suffering. Who have been harmed and abused. Who continue to struggle.

Oh, and if it's not the fictional women, it's the bird man.

Like. You'd rather support a sexist, ableist, racist, transphobic, cunty organization and throw them your money eagerly and willingly, while pretending they aren't horrible, to continue being this horrible, all over a pair of fictional women kissing than support trans and queer creators.

When canon is created by a bunch of prejudiced chucklefucks you take the canon FROM THEM and make your OWN while arguing that they need to PAY THEIR FUCKING WORKERS.

Go read your fucking fanfiction! God knows none of you write it. Or else you wouldn't whine so hard about creators taking too long.

"But all shows are like that."

I don't care. I don't buy Spiderverse merch. I don't buy RWBY merch. And I certainly don't beg for a shitty organization to greenlight another season of a show made by shitty people just so I can watch them abuse and belittle and fire everyone ELSE on their crew who ISN'T a fucking freelancer or contract worker.

Write a fucking fanfiction and stop acting like a show who keeps firing EVERYONE WHO CARES ABOUT IT is actually good enough to "justify" (no such thing) the massive harm and hatred of queer and trans people within the workspace, the livelihoods destroyed, and the careers forever tossed aside.

There is no CRWBY.

The writing is shit.

And more importantly: real people are getting hurt.

Write a fucking fanfiction. Stop using the fucking V10 hashtag. And remember that real world people are suffering and that if you condone this suffering, you are shitty.

Writing fic and drawing fanart is great! But seriously you chucklefucks drop the fucking tag.

No show, especially one that is:

fatphobic (only villainous or perverted characters are fat)

colourist & racist (all dark skinned characters are villainous or die, with the exception of fucking EMERALD and Oscar, but we have Hazel, Arthur, and Sienna to start)

ableist (no one is allowed to go without prosthetics, scars exist only for vibes, disability is never given a nuanced discussion, demonization of mental illness, not to mention the entirety of Ruby's storyline in V9)

queerphobic (toxic masculinity is everywhere, Ren's basically the only guy allowed to be remotely feminine, the obnoxious lack of queer men on screen due to RT's well-documented homophobia)

or sexist (yeah you'd think it wouldn't be, but when you consider the amount of V9 that is focused on Jaune at the detriment of focusing on the TITULAR CHARACTER'S MENTAL HEALTH, and considering this isn't the first time, I'm calling it)

...should have this much of a stranglehold on people's lives! It's not fucking worth it!

I love RWBY. I have loved RWBY since the Red Trailer. Those four girls mean a lot to me. I also acknowledge that it is full of fucking flaws that I work very hard to overcome and rewrite in my fanfics.

So, do like me:

Write a fucking fanfiction.

It's better than the show's actual writing, these days, anyway. And this doesn't hurt real life people who RT continues to harm just because, I dunno, they fucking can?

Anyway I'm disappointed in people. You can want V10 without using the hashtag. You can want V10 while speaking up about how people are mistreated and you don't want it to continue. You can want V10 and be happy to wait.

But if you prioritize the tenth season of a fictional web show over fixing the problems within the company, both specifically and as a whole, that are destroying people's lives, then you're just a loser.

Just a fucking internet loser.

you can say the review bombers, outrage youtubers and right-wing grifters didn't "really" cause the cancellation but you can't expect them not to be emboldened by it. it's gonna be so much worse if lucasfilm ever bothers to have another black lead, queer creator, or poc cast and you know it

GUYS????????

Looking at the timestamps, this was one month before Max’s first f1 race, and they last karted together in 2012 3 years prior. I have so many questions, like, were they cool at this point of time? Clearly they were friendly enough for Max to joke like this, but you can also notice that Charles only replied to Esteban LOL

Allow me to be autistic for a second. in the itch2 behind the scenes while they’re talking about pennywise we get a couple seconds of dirty little secret outtake. wherein instead of ‘wanna play truth or dare…u wouldn’t want anyone to pick truth would u richie’ he says ‘wanna play operation [something something sounds like he says ‘oh ur sick’ possibly?]’ i have nothing to add no light to shed but i do often wonder where he was going with that

[incorrect-primarchs-quotes]

Me: Ok, but could you stop offending the humankind each time you speak?

Yrliet: Huh... I see mon-keigh are offended by the truth.

'Warner Bros killed Roosterteeth' Warner Bros didn't make Roosterteeth throw a stand-in word for the f-slur at Kdin Jenzen for years, nearly push Mica Burton to suicide, or crunch their animation employees to the point where they were sleeping in the office but alright.

A while back after I found the QvA PSAs and watched them all in a row. . . and just cacking at the time about how they just embraced the Grimmons. . . There was one about the Best Villain. It was funny as hell and I laughed. Just, Caboose. BUT... some time shortly after I kinda had a thought. Something kind of made me go 'hmm'.

Simmons thinks The Director was the Best Villain. . . . . Do you think he thought The Director was the best villain because his own life and experience the worse villain he's dealt with personally was his own abusive fuck of a father who's expectations he could never meet? Or do you think it's simply because Dr. Leonard Church pretty much fucked over not only his own family but had a reaching negative impact across countless people's lives?

Eh, I kinda see it being both, but there's defiantly some personal animosity there.

See you later, y'all.

Some are quite fervent in hyperemphasizing their flaws as a company and tragically, it too often came at the pursuit of dunking on RWBY when peeling back the charged language.

Of course, the counterpoint to "Don't speak ill of the dead" i.e. "Don't be an asshole when alive" can certainly apply. But I still come here to remember Rooster Teeth's site not as what it failed to fully be but what it was warts and all.

The good, the bad, the ugly in between.

We had a Halo fanmade series that went from a few guys dicking around to this legitimized expansion to the Sci-Fi franchise.

We've had podcasts and skits that ranged from commentary on current events to just... dicking around.

We've have an Anime that outlived its creator, was carried on by those who valued him and is poised to outlast its company of origin.

We've had a raunchy comedy that felt like South Park but if it legit gave a sh*t and didn't try the "Both Sides" BS. It cared about itself and its audience.

Because somebody fucking had to.

We had a promising wild west fantasy that may not be put out to pasture just yet but sadly wasn't done many favors.

We had a love letter to mecha Anime with some... unfortunate funds allocated from those more deserving. One that can't hands.

The wrong hands tragically...

I don't need to wonder why we were here.

This.

This is why.

Even now, many of their creators are picking up the pieces. It won't be the same like it was but it never truly is, is it?

So you can dress 'em down all you want for very documented wrongs. Bleat on about "Monty's Vision" or RvB Zero like it even matters.

I wouldn't trade it for the universe.
