Weeb Wars / AnimeGate / #KickVic / #IStandWithVic / #vickicksback - General Discussion Thread

I was just reviewing some of the various and sundry filler story arcs in this saga, and was reminded of the Akiva Cohen Ethics complaint filed against Ty. That happened around the 7th of August, and I believe Ty had 30 days to answer the complaint. Has anyone heard anything regarding this matter? It seemed that everyone at the time was all hype to see Ty raise hell with Akiva. I don't know about anyone else, but I would still like to hear Ty's answer.
I think Ty said he sent something to the Texas State Bar. Ultimately, we have to see what course of action the Bar does in this situation.
Having to take time out to answer a spurious ethics complaint and mandatory investigation by the state bar would surely have affected Ty's ability to perform.

As a heavy drinker, I can sympathise.
 
Rooster Teeth lays off 13% of work force. About 50 more employees gone. No list of who is out yet.

DC might be on the chopping block by October 26th. Things will only get worse for Rooster Teeth.

Huh. I have been seeing people saying they’re leaving the past few weeks.

Depends on what happens with Ozpin, I’m assuming.

Nah, Monica has produced something at least likable if not memorable in the forms of May Chang and Mirajane Strauss.

Shannon McCormick does the voice of Washington on RvB. He would still be around.

I doubt they'll bring him back until the end of Volume 7, hell, even until start of Volume 8
So they could shaft Shannon in a heartbeat

Also, remember, they didn't think twice to out Vic and he had a more important role
 
Well, Rooster Teeth is downsizing:
Me on the outside: Man thats sad for all those workers

Nick has made it sound like Vic can easily appeal even if he loses completely. He also made it sound like KV can appeal the TCPA, as well.

He only has the actual right to appeal immediately if he does lose completely. Otherwise, the appeals court could decline to hear the appeal at all until after the entire case is decided. Only the defendants can automatically appeal a partial denial of their motion.

Shannon has probably paid his dues by this point with the Twitter jackassery.

One guy suggested we shouldn't go after Rooster Teeth's management over the Vic issue because "the workers will suffer." The workers are suffering now. Maybe management should disentangle themselves from the barbed wire they are in.

Obligatory "and nothing of value was lost."
You think RT would be as fucked as they are now if the Vic stuff didn’t happen?

Well, so far, God has seemingly been on Vic's side, so he may have sent a plague upon the house of Rooster Teeth. Whether what we are seeing karma or a coincidence can be debated.

Personally, it would be easier to.. digest these happenings at Rooster Teeth if Vic was still employed there. If Vic was still there I would be like "they're good people trying to compete." With Vic gone it's more like "ehh.. Rooster Teeth is either full of fascists that fired an innocent man or bent the knee to Sabat in some attempt to stave off trouble. Either way they need to be broken."

while the vic thing certainly hurt them, theyve been heading this way for a while lately with how their employees treat the people that pay them. looking at you miles "fans shouldnt criticize me unless its constructive ass kissing" luna.

The gen:LOCK monetary issues would have bit them in any case, but I imagine some the lost goodwill caused by their dismissal of Vic would have been mitigated if they hadn't done so. That is until the Glass Doors Reviews and reddit leaks about the work conditions in RT's Animation Department came out or when the price hike for RT First membership was implemented (and the atrocious response by their moderators to First members canceling their subscriptions). The resignations and lay-offs this year don't help with a public reception that the company is having internal turmoil, either.

Don’t forget Barbara being all “don’t like it don’t watch it” and “it’s a cartoooooooooooon” when someone asked a legit question.

Saw this on the big texas comiccon instagram.

Whatcha thinkin' about Todd?
You think that sometimes fans ask for poses with these pro pics? It’s probably nothing too special.
