Okay, I've seen a couple of his reviews now and I really don't think he's particularly good at critical reviews. He does have a couple of good points here and there, but he's mostly engaging in bias reinforcement rather than critical thinking.

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.

Wait accusations of a woman sleeping around with a man to get a higher position.... oh god the FNDM is divided enough as it is we don't need the rwby version of gamergate.

Seriously I have seen no evidence of RT being misogynistic in fact as everyone has been saying all signs point to the opposite.

Ok from what I've heard you talk about Kathleen had a huge breakdown on twitter about how RT was misogynistic and accused Ashley of being a slut.

You probably shouldn't read about this only on here then. While judgment of the whole debacle isn't final, Kathleen only said that Ashley was the wife of the owner and thus would receive different treatment than her. Her accusation definitely comes across as dismissive, but it's more a point of nepotism rather than saying she's sleeping around.

As far as the twitter drama goes, there's really no way of knowing what actually happened. Disgruntled employees badmouthing their employer is extremely common, but so is nepotism and workplace discrimination of varying degrees.

Keep in mind that meg Kara and Arron no longer work for RT and they haven't said anything about sexism...

the idea a women be treat diferently because she is related somehow with the staff is the kind of thing that taint a conversation since it leaves a "you only get that far because some men, unlike me who did it on my own" it dosent help that is a acusasion women tend to make against other women for some reason or another.

This is going to make rvb seasons 1-9 painful to watch isn't it.

Also to point out something, Burnie isn't the head of Rooster Teeth anymore, he stepped down and made Matt Hallum (Sarge's VA) head. So while Burnie is a founder and high up he's not the big boss.

Didn't actually know about that.

Also, who are RT's founders again? I know Burnie is one of them, and I think Geoff as well, but I'm not sure if Gus is one or not and I'm not sure if there was a fourth founder, or if there were only ever two of them.

I know almost squat about Rooster Teeth so I'm probably even less qualified than the rest of you to comment on this, but from the sounds of things it seems like the situation can be summed up as: none of us can be sure of what is going on, and Rooster Teeth could have made a better statement about all of this.

Former employees bitching about their former employer is nothing new, but neither is people quitting or getting fired because of poor treatment and discrimination. None of us should be trying to make definitive statements either way.

[up][up][up]The founders of Rooster Teeth are Burnie Burns, Matt Hullum, Joel Heyman, Geoff Ramsey and Gus Sorola.

On the matter at hand it does boil down to just hearsay.

I'm not sure, but why?

Kathleen was the voice of Agent Tex in RVB, a major character for most of the first 9 seasons.

I don't know why it would make them harder to watch though.

So I watched part 2 of that review and, while I will agree that rwby is eh as a whole, a lot of that seemed nitpicky to me. Also, anybody who thought that June getting Phyrra killed is a better idea is short sighted. While I'm all for exploring darker paths and injecting conflict, that would have ruined Juane forever. One character's death was fine, don't need to kill his credibility.

I think his being ruined or not would be dependant on what the plan after that was exactly in regards to jaune's growth.

It's overkill...

Recovering from it wouldn't be the problem...the problem is that people won't care enough to accept it.
