(scene inspired by the post-game of the romhack Special Episode 0, go check it out, it's available in English :DD https://x.com/PKMM_ESPEP0/status/1779568235437863046)
Hearing about Rooser Teeth's demise... admittedly I havent kept up with a lot of their content ever since they fired Matt Bragg. But the fact remains that I was a part of that community for several long years.
I made fanart. I made friends. My god, I made friends! Some of the closest friends I have we bonded through the AH/RT community or some branch of it. My current DnD group that streams on twitch, we were all connected to the community at one point, one way or another.
I attended RTX several times, which I maintain was a wholly unique experience unlike any anime convention I've also attended. I had so much fun in that community. I know RT has and had some problematic elements but it was also such a... force. I dont regret joining it. It got me into let's plays and streaming, it brought us RWBY which I still love despite everything and numerous other entertaining shows, and more importantly it made me laugh and connected me with friends.
To see it all dissolve so suddenly is... grief inducing. My heart definitely mourns. I've never been in another fandom community like it, and I dont know if I will again.
And of course, I hope the employees and contract workers affected can get back on their feet quickly. I cant imagine their position. Like the rug has been pulled from under their feet, I'm sure.
Why are you so stuck up on the flaws? Plenty enjoy RWBY because they don't overthink or nitpick.
Ah yes, if I just ignore everything that's bad with the show, it will suddenly become good. Brilliant logic right here.
Got to love a show where if I applied that to some Volumes, the volume would be reduced to just the opening song.
Imagine NOT wanting to reasonably analyze the fictional work you like, while show remains outright malicious to both mental health and and tons of other things (like how it handled racism) that affect very real people in very real world.
do you think film critics were rubbing their hands together like evil viziers walking out of feenaf and realizing they would get to start their review with 'it certainly FELT like five nights'
