At this point I don't think Rooster Teeth has a way to rebuild trust with its fans. At least none that would be palatable to them.

Rehiring Vic would be blatent pandering due to economic issues. Firing Miles and Kerry won't help bring in new subscriptions even if someone can fix RWBY to satisfy those fans that demand such a thing.

The White knights can keep trying to spin this as "becoming more competitive" but this is contraction on a huge scale. If you hear cracking and splintering in your house, it is most likely collapsing instead of expanding.

True, they don't want to compromise on their twisted principals, from what I see I don't think it will save them, nothing will given how they've behaved. They've proven to be a smear in the market and it's clear that they a bunch of psychotic pseudo-nerds that leech of true fans and companies to continue living in their little bubble.

RWBY and Gen:Lock is their little social justice machines and they've failed.

We can all agree that rooster teeth was on it's downfall whether they fired vic or not.

I'd say that Gen Lock was their ticket to the big time and that failed to yield the desired results. RWBY is just their moneymaker that they'll ride until it's ground into dust.

So let me get this straight

Marzgurl and the rest of the KV have: False flagged alot of ISWV accounts including Nick's. Have cost Vic his job, getting into big cons (though seeing the owners are asshole its probably for the best), will try their damndest to stop him from getting into any cons, currently are trying to get him off of Unlocked which is the only way he can interact with fans, and tried to get Nick disbarred because he hurt your feelings.

But when Marzgurl gets booted off Twitter its now

They wish they had those numbers or conviction. Instead it's a bunch of butt hurt white knights that desperately want someone to thank them with sex.

The sheer amount of hypocrisy coming from kickvic blows my mind a lot iswv accounts gets false flagged which leads to suspension.when marzgurl gets suspended they're all crying like fucking babies.

KickVic thinks they're right so anyone against them is bad and it's a crime and how dare the stupid ISWV and Kiwis take my dopamine hit away weh weh

I want my follower numbers back weh weh weh

I'm allowed to bully and harass people because I'm right and they're wrong weh weh

These are crimes against my vagina!!!11!!1 I am a proud woman and a victim of toxic masculinity and that's why I behave like a 3 year old at all times!

Hypocrites can't handle their own tactics used against them. They'll get madder as their louder talking heads who don't have blue checkmarks get purged by the wrath of Vicstans.

What is it with these guys and their egos? The dude was perfectly reasonable. Sonny answers with a really bizarre joke, then lets his followers mock the guy?

I thought voice actors were supposed to do everything in their might to make sure their fans were comfortable?

I found this interview with Vic from 2016 on a christian website a while ago, but never got around to uploading it here. I thought this interview was interesting, since Vic gets political here. Well, more political than usual. Surprise: He's conservative. He still preaches kindness and peace, even when it comes to politics.

The audio doesn't work.

Interview with Vic Mignogna, Transcript (2016) — Beneath the Tangles

Star City Anime, February 6, 2016 Roanoke, VA Me: Alright, so the first question we wanted to ask as Beneath the Tangles is: Do you watch any anime in your free time, and if you do, what is one of your favorite shows and why is that? Vic: I don’t get the chance to… Read More Interview with Vic...

Interview with Vic Mignogna, Transcript (2016) — Beneath the Tangles

The same website posted this on their FB page in February.

Looks like they were mostly trying to remain neutral. They decided against publishing an article about the allegations and they only asked for people's opinions (they linked to the ANN trashfire of an article, though). Comments seem to be more or less in support of the allegations.

Then they posted this recently, after not mentioning Vic for months.

Pretty strange that the only other thing they decided to mention on their page when it comes to the lawsuit were the fees ordered by Chupp. Not that the defendants asked for a significantly higher amount of money, not that Vic can still appeal (and already has done so), not all the other dumb bullshit happening (like the fake swatting), just the amount of money Vic now has to pay.

The comments were mostly anti Vic, but I found a doozy among them (which was liked by Beneath the Tangles).

The second comment was liked by them. Likening Vic to Jim Jones doesn't seem very...appropriate.

Sure, the comments are funny, because they repeat dumb and plain wrong stuff that we've already heard ("Vic admitted to pulling Jamie's hair!!!"), but the description of Joshua's profile fucking killed me.

Sorry for the excursion. Figured there was nothing else going on, so I could some random stuff in here.

Archive.fo won't let me archive the FB pages right now.

Joshua Knighten sounds like one of the jackasses that talked to Job in the Bible.

"It is your fault that God is punishing you. You did something wrong!" He didn't know that Lucifer challenged God to fuck with Job to see his reaction.

Gen Lock was their shot to become more competitive. It didn't work.

Nah. I meant "Trust them as people." Rooster Teeth always gave the feeling of guys down the street that you could go play Halo with.

Now half of them seem to grumble that "people in this country vote the wrong way."

It sounds like they are the kind of people who would lock up other people for "wrong think."

Why would you support someone who would throw you in a "reeducation camp" at a moment's notice?

Is it really that difficult to not behave like a cunt on Twitter? Especially with so much of their income apparently tied to having positive interactions with the fans?

Apparently, their fans don’t include those with rational minds and honest opinions.

I think the era of RT is coming to a close. I don't think they would have survived even if they were still in good standing and hadn't made much mistakes simply because they really don't have the power behind them like they used to and their fandom has devolved into one that cares more about ships and character shit than the company itself.

They would have always had to become a part of something bigger to stay afloat, and eventually they'd no longer be able to maintain independence. The company would continue to get consolidated until they moved production of what shows they did have to their owners' primary production house.

Hell, most companies are consolidating in an attempt to keep up with the demands of the current industry. They never had enough power to stay afloat even on their best day.

We can all agree that rooster teeth was on it's downfall whether they fired vic or not.

True, but the whole thing with Vic essentially accelerated it.

Little bitches want to start shit, but they don't want to get hit.

 

[ThonyTheThaigirl]

And when they got those statements, they focused on Ty saying that Vic wasn't the literal definition of excrement. Even if there was a hidden point Ty was trying to make there, that was probably the telltale sign that they weren't taking this seriously.

Gen Lock was their shot to become more competitive. It didn't work.

Honestly, RT always had a bit of a problem because RWBY was their moneymaker and they didn't have much else to get people invested. What else was there? Docs? All those podcasts? The Zombie of RVB? After Gen Lock bombed, they're more latched onto RWBY than they ever were?

I keep forgetting this point. These stupid motherfuckers are out over $100,000 each, minus Jamie, because they wanted so badly to lie and say mean shit about Vic. Not only that, but they're celebrating this fact. They're celebrating that they've paid out their ass just to lie and say mean shit about Vic.

If you hit someone don't be suprised if they decide to fight back.

The difference is the "trolls" from Monica were friends who wanted to know what happened but they were told that she is sending homeland security on them, the "troll" from johnny it's manjaw or a proxy making false accusations.

Maybe because you keep mocking your fans sonny have you ever thought about that?like always the Funi VA's have no self awareness.

Who cares about Sonny Strait anyways, he's an irrelevant manlet who voices equally irrelevant characters and isn't worth literally anything.
