Rooster Teeth / Achievement Hunter / Let's Play / Funhaus / Inside Gaming - The company was resurrected.

This is an incredibly wordy way to say AH is trying to commit suicide but doesn't know how to get the pill bottle open.

I know I bring up RT only caring about RWBY a lot, but when was the last time AH was a big deal?

Some people bring up 2013 being their peak, but I would say 2018.
It's all downhill from there.

See, that just doesn't make sense to me. Since when do you need to slowly integrate someone to let your audience 'get used to them', that just sounds stupid, like your audience is a bunch of faggots. OneyPlays just brought on a new guy and the first thing they did was stream with him for two hours and then he's been in every video since and people love him. How fucking gay must your audience be where you need to introduce a new host like you're introducing to strange to dogs to each other? The audience doesn't need time to adjust to a new personality, they just want to see someone entertaining.

People in general don't like change. Especially if you are replacing someone.

"Black Krystal."

black female messiah.

Off topic but that made me think of this. There is an American female EDM DJ who DJs on BBC's Radio One and went by the moniker, The Black Madonna. She is white and the name's origin is based in Christianity and not a black version of the pop singer Madonna. During the BLM riots, looting, and arson from last summer she said that she listened to the people upset by her name and that instead of educating them and helping them not be ignorant by explaining the religious historical background of her DJ name she decided to change it to, The Blessed Madonna.

Anyway, you are correct in that it is almost impressive how they are incapable of hiring anybody that is funny and/or entertaining.

Sounds like they’re only entertaining to the people doing the hiring. Not the best plan apparently.

Sounds like she’d fit right in with RT with how quickly she’d sanitize herself.

 

[Touhoku Style]

How are they so incapable of finding a funny black person?

Because they keep hiring women.

 

[Two-bit]

Achievement Hunters' newest GMOD video has a "special guest", a streamer who goes by the moniker "Black Krystal." She is not only less funny than Fiona, she is less funny than Ky. Worse, she combines the worst of both of them and makes that her whole shtick, I'm certain she spends more time in the video screaming then she does speaking words. She is also using a basic headset microphone so she sounds like she's underwater the whole video. And just like when Ky first came around, Lindsey is sucking her proverbial dick all video long, treating her like a black female messiah. Are we certain that Lindsay isn't secretly a lesbian with a fetish for black people and that's why Michael looks like he's given up on life nowadays?

Her youtube channel has fewer subscribers than Dear Feeder's MATI channel and her twitch channel has actually less than 1% of the follower count of Ray's channel. There is no way in hell that RT just came across her. Someone in Roosterteeth, my money's on Ky, went to the boss and said "bring this person in" and they made it so. Isn't Nepotism just wonderful?

One has to wonder how this shit is possible. How are they so incapable of finding a funny black person? They are just as common if not more so than funny white people so how do they manage not only to find unfunny black people, but to find ONLY unfunny black people, and then give them the job, every god damn time? It defies reasoning. Here's hoping she isn't just a new hire that they're lying about, calling her a "super special guest" that they'll keep on in spite of negative feedback like they did Ky.

It's because Rooster Teeth isn't looking to hire the funniest or most entertaining people available. They just want those who hit as many diversity buttons as possible so they, RT, can be sanctimonious in their declaration that they are the "good guys".

They care soooo much for BLM, feminists, gays and trannies. Don't pay attention to the edgy jokes they made in the past! Especially not the past controversies of some of the people who worked at the company! No. Pay attention to the fact that they hired a gay, black tranny who identifies as a houseplant. Look how diverse they are!

Nothing will ever be a better example of their hypocrisy than them making a bold statement about Vic Lasagna and absolutely fuck all about the VP that hospitalized his wife.

Any hope that RT had to get in with Hollywood big wigs is as good as dead at this point, and I guess it’s up to you when that shaky as it already was ground kicked the bucket. You’d only go this fat if you’re a true believer, which RT apparently is.

The thing with Oney is since Julian and DingDong moved on it's been Oney + a rotating cast of friends, basically whoever is available to record some shit. His channel is not a specific group like AH.

 

[AuxPersonality]

I have a feeling the quality of new hires might also reflect the wages and employee contracted conditions offered.

or because you're desperately virtue signalling about how good you are because your staff is full of creeps and scumbags which seems to be happening a lot

 

[liquidmegan]

AH could probably find a better diversity hire by going to any con and picking the literal first black dude they see.

Or they hire LowTierGod because of course they would.

How is that any different from Hollywood? RT would fit right in.

Hopefully he gets Julian and Dingdong back again. That small stint of videos they did a few months ago was fantastic.

RT is a foot in the door if you want to climb that shit-smeared ladder of incestuous gaming-content people. Not actual gaming content, mind you, but getting in with the Kotaku-crowd that can't do anything else or won't do anything else that requires them to have an amount of competancy.

 

[Wingnut]

I know I bring up RT only caring about RWBY a lot, but when was the last time AH was a big deal?

Around and a short while after the 2016 election cycle is when they really started to fall off for me personally, and seems to be when they started to hemorrhage. Politics was the death of RT, and everything that's contributed to their spiral in the toilet bowl since has been due to pandering to a specific political agenda. RT was never a pozzed company full of NPCs spouting off media talking points until after Trump's election, which is also when lots of other western media turned to pandering and pushing a singular viewpoint which also led to large drops in viewership on their end.

Politics is a cancer that ruins everything it touches outside of it's own sphere.

they were definitely going down that road even before Trump, lots of sperging about gamergate but at least they managed to mostly play it off as jokes back then

i know i finally unsubbed when i would see gus tweet literal made up news about trump or gavin the brit doing his take on american politics jack was always leftist so that wasnt shocking

join the farms see the 1 guy who stayed normal micheal now looks like a fat lesbian and goes along with every virtue signal like the rest

Oh, there was definitely signs before Trump, the clearest example I saw was Jack being much more open about his political views and shoehorning them into random conversations in Let's Plays. It seems like they simply followed the tide of everything having to be political to some extent even if it's not related to politics whatsoever.
