So you're not a fan, but you're not a hater either.

I guess. Though, I was a fan at one point. I assume that I'd probably like their stuff still. I just haven't seen it and haven't been watching other things lately...

I used to listen to the podcast, but stopped listening after Bernie left. It just didn't have the dynamic it did after that. Always found thier sketches to be bit cringe too, so never have been too big of a fan.

I was until a year or so after Monty died. Part of me suspects said death was a prank gone wrong, knowing RT and how they've done things since their Drunk Gamers days, and they refuse to admit that they'd arranged via Monty's wife to have the dentist give the man something he's allergic to just for the lulz. It sounds both galaxy brained and horrendous, but... In light of everything, I am going to say no, not any longer.

Besides, RvB should have ended around season 11 or 12, I forget which, and RWBY is practically unrecognizable now compared to the charming animated show I enjoyed an age ago.

I used to really like their Lets Play channel, especially when they still had Ray. I stopped watching regularly a couple years after he left.

and then I really liked their podcast too, but like the other guy I kinda fell off after Bernie stopped being on there regularly.

Nah, the causes behind that are pretty well known (though most people in the RT community itself try to avoid talking about it). His psychotic cosplayer girlfriend (who may or may not have been his wife - it's kind of complicated) decided she wanted a cat, in spite of the fact that Monty was hugely allergic to cats (like epi-pen levels of allergic). So she basically pressured him into getting allergy shots that would theoretically help him develop a tolerance, but while doing so also kept a cat in their shared living space (which is pretty much a massive no-no when you're getting allergy shots, because it means you're getting a double dose of the allergens, which can cause an even more severe reaction). Then he had a massive allergic reaction, which killed him.

So she pretty much murdered him, has shown no real remorse since, and hasn't really hesitated to exploit his memory for attention/money online. RT itself mostly kind of stayed quiet about the whole thing and didn't really want to talk about the details out of respect for Monty's private life, but that same respectful silence is what opens the door to weird conspiracy theory assumptions about what actually happened (and they're doubly likely to not want to talk about it now due to having mostly been absorbed into a much larger corporation that prioritizes PR concerns over community openness anyway).

One assumes that if RT itself (or someone in their employ) had actually done something directly to cause his death, his own brother wouldn't have been so quick to step up and take over his voice role in RWBY. Instead we'd probably be seeing a lot of wrongful death lawsuits springing up from his (large) family or Sheena herself. It's telling that most of the people who were closest to him as a person in the company never felt the need to ever call anyone out on it or criticize company practices, but almost all of them have cut Sheena out of their lives and the community entirely after the fact.

Had to look them up. The only thing I'm familiar with is Red vs. Blue which I saw 1 or 2 episodes of back in 2007-2008 when my friends were into it.

Overall, nothing from them looks like my cup of tea.

No, I only know them for RvB and I've never liked Halo.

Oh, I guess they also did RWBY, but like the DOA TIfa fight thing, they are very stiff and over choreographed.

On the other hand, a lot of RT fans were really quick to turn on the company when it got a ton of terrible employee reviews on Glassdoor, when stories came out about a somewhat harsh work environment in the animation department. They were also pretty quick to turn when someone connected to the company tried to kill his wife, when there were huge corporate layoffs that left about a hundred people unemployed with no prior warning, and when one of the AH cast turned out to apparently be a borderline sexual predator.

Not to mention the fans that have been complaining that RvB and RWBY have been getting worse with every passing year and haven't been worth watching for years, or the more radicalized portion of the fanbase that usually spends most of their time on Reddit complaining that RT isn't woke enough.

RT fans pretty much hate on RT on a regular basis. Their reaction to the Rotten Websites thing was less about RT and more about objecting to the site's politics. The community as a whole has sort of become a toxic cluster-fuck.

No, I know people who are huge into it, and I just sorta not bother majorly. None of their content interest me, and I haven't seen anyone who I care about.

Even when RvB was horrifically popular, I just watched a few episodes here and there, and then moved on. It's just a different axis from what I do.

I looked it up - one guy was let go for underaged fan grooming, the other took hundreds of pictures and videos around his workspace and sent them to a catfish who uploaded them. The second guy has a micro penis but a great ass

Google say: the action by a pedophile of preparing a child for a meeting, especially via an internet chat room, with the intention of committing a sexual offense.

There are many other methods of doing it, as well... But it was probably something like that, I guess...

You know, I think the last thing of theirs I bothered to watch was the first season of Nomad of Nowhere. I mostly only finished the first season to see how it ended, rather than actually liking it. That, the plummet in RWBY's quality, and the time travel season of RvB were what made me decide I had had enough of Rooster Teeth's programming.

I only watched their Lets Play channel and Red vs Blue a hundred years ago. But their Lets Play channel went to shit after the 'core' crew fell off so I haven't watched anything from them for a couple of years now. Shit I think only two of them are left from the OG crew - Jack and Michael. The rest are either gone, cancelled, or seem to be mostly working on other shit.
