Our party's Druid, after committing an ecological crime and dropping an Owlbear's egg off a skyscraper, as he sees eggs being made for breakie: Lots of eggs today.

My Warlock, a British safari man supplanted 400 years into the future who has been learning about all the new queer terms, and was not around for said crime: No I'm pretty certain that I am indeed a man.

In all seriousness, I... don't really think I have the words to express how formative and influential Rooster Teeth has been to me. I don't think I'd be half as much of a bit character if not for their influence. In a good way mostly, though not entirely admittedly.

And I'm... definitely not the most adherent a follower. A lot of people dropped off while I remained invested, but I barely got to be involved in the community. I kept telling myself over and over again that I'd muster a way to get to RTX one day, with friends who I could be there with because I was terrified to go alone. Then it finally happened and... Covid cancelled it. Which was fine. There was always another year. Everyone said this, within the community and around me. But once Covid cleared... I didn't have anyone to go with me.

Being autistic and incredibly anxious with strangers, I didn't know how I was going to be able to go on my own but I managed it finally... without making many friends. But that was fine, because there was always next year and this time I'd be more active in finding people to be with.

But my first RTX is now the last RTX. And I am pretty heartbroken about that. I was so ready for the next one. So ready to truly be a part of this community and now... well maybe in the last dying breath of this place that formed me I'll find some sort of chance.

I moved to Austin because it felt like it called to me after all I learned about it through Rooster Teeth. There were of course other reasons, but I'd be lying if I didn't say it didn't feel like comfort thanks to them. My humor is permanently infected by Michael Jones. My sense of identity and understanding of myself is... psych. My own and I'm not giving the whole of that to any company. But I probably wouldn't have found it out as quickly if not through the connections I went through Rooster Teeth to find.

And... to touch on that. Rooster Teeth was not saintly. I also owe Rooster Teeth a lot of my own sense of justice on a social scale both from the messages they pushed that were good and the times that I had to remember that they sucked ass. He was... my favorite Achievement Hunter. That tore me apart. But I was never going to defend what he did and the people that did made it clear to me where my morality stood on these issues. And since him, there has been so much shit that has soured the taste of them. If that didn't change you, if none of the things that happened there didn't shift your view on companies in general and the sorts of people you admire, I hope that you don't get burned in the way that some of us did. It still hurts.

Rooster Teeth was not saintly. Though I think we sometimes might forget that... no company is. Certainly Warner Brothers just proved that for like the 15th time in a row. Yeah it should be held accountable but... Rooster Teeth was a whole lot better than a lot of places. And it's failures in no way justifies the amount of vultures who tore into it. Who tore into it over these many years and are tearing into it now, when so many innocent people are out of a job. Especially the huge host of them that just dramafarmed off of their actual attempts to be better. There is accountability and then there's opportunistic grifting. If you are taking this opportunity to attack individuals at Rooster Teeth, then fuck you. Do better for yourself.

There were people who were good there. I never felt as represented as through them. I know that Gen Z has a whole host of podcasts and animated shows we can call upon now to show off a range of diversity in every facet. And in some ways, Rooster Teeth does not compare anymore. But when I grew up, at least in terms of Youtube groups, they were the most diverse and progressive space that I had access to online. Which is saying a lot because they certainly had a lot of work to do, but I don't think that people give enough credit for how diverse the Achievement Hunter team became in comparison to groups like that across Youtube. I'm sure there is some oomfie comfort group that people can point to that was better at the time, but I certainly couldn't find one that was better in these last few years especially.

Rooster Teeth and Achievement Hunter were there for me in my worst moments (both of them). Not always certain if I'd be here if not for them being there at crucial moments. Hopefully I'll be able to maintain some sparse connection to the community or maybe... just maybe I'll have an opportunity to make some community. That'd be nice. For now though, rest easy Rooster Teeth. You were beloathed and beloved. I'm gonna keep moving forward.

Excuse me Warner Brothers but how dare you! That was my company to have an abusive love-hate relationship with!

I’m a true homophobe. I fear my fellow queers. You know. In the kind of way that makes me more attracted to them.

Fun fact about 5e Druids if you didn't know. You can't cast spells in Wild Shape. But you CAN use most innate abilities by RAW. So anyways I have this Protector Aasimar Monk I've been playing for a while and she's a cowgirl so of course horses are her thing. And Radiant Soul gives me wings so... I dipped a few in Druid and now I can become a Pegasus and restore my DMs love of D&D. I've been sitting on this for months and am still waiting to surprise her.

The literal Pope can call the actions of the IDF terrorism and yet Biden, the President of the United States, still can't call for a ceasefire. And oh by the way, he's also Catholic.

Why in the FUCK would Clownfish TV put that bastard on the thumb nail for Achievement Hunter ending. He hasn't been there for 3 fucking years. Don't attach him to that. He had to know that that would hurt people. I did not expect to be triggered opening up youtube today. I dunno why I don't have him blocked. Can we not just have some damn peace without this guy showing up.
