Trashfire Adam Kovic & Ryan Haywood (The Dead Pixel / Koko / Pikovic, and James Ryan Haywoood / Iron Ryan / The Mad King / Vagabond) - Rooster Teeth associates who've sent horrifying nudes behind their families' backs in what looks like a gay catfish

[Bloitzhole]

Is there a write-up on this 3rd guy I can merge into OP?

Rahul? Just an actor (Recurring supporting role in IZombie). Collaborated a few times. Unknown why they stopped collaborating. He seems to have kept it professional and not published anything about it (yet). No Cowish behavior otherwise.

No FH video yesterday, probably no Dude Soup today. I don't think I can ever watch another FH video, let alone one with Adam in it. This shitshow seems to have accelerated RT's decline under their AT&T corporate overlords. Now with Rahul even coming out as a detractor, I'm wondering what other shady shit Adam's been up to. Fuck this gay internet.

No, the Cow Chop guy.

No, the Cow Chop guy.

Aside from some homo antics? Nothing cow worthy. Mainly just acting as on screen talent, has said some "interesting" stuff on aforementioned videos though.

I'm not gonna lie, adam always come off as the most relaxed and least offensive member so this whole thing with rahul and lawrence having some big disagreement with him is straight out of left field for me.

Do you think Bruce Greene leaving might also be related?

RT is going to recover from this for the simple fact that the incidents are not solely an internal issue. WarnerMedia and RT will look at this and say it's not their fault their employees suck. Adam needs to get shit on for the bathroom stuff though. That was actually illegal.

do you mean aside from his nudes being leaked as well or am I just completely missing something here?

 

[Frenchie]

There must be something more to Adam, since Rahul and Lawrence have tweeted things that seem to be an indirect attack at Adam. Maybe why Lawrence and Bruce left? I always thought of Adam as the head guy since he started Inside Gaming.

Apparently there were rumors of him being Bi or something from what i remember. He was on the Offcanny channel when it started too, which is mainly former cow chop talent, doing some pretty questionable stuff. Example here.

I wouldn't think so, because bruce leaving had it's writing in the wall for a while. His twitch channel was kicking off and he went on a big break and then returned eventually to collaborate a bit.

I was always most suspicious of lawrence leaving as he'd recently gotten apparent promotions and his youtube/twitch was just a side thing. So I always found it odd that he left as well (and never returned to collaborate)

My guess is adam did something after bruce left but before lawrence. I'm curious if maybe they all had a pact to leave or something and adam changed mind halfway through or maybe it's more insidious.

@Null

Alec was a member of Cow Chop, who left and made a splinter channel called OFFCANNY in October 2019 (as Chop Chop was closing down), then left OFFCANNY in Jan 2020, which was explained by a co-worker that it was due to:

"...He decided it'd be best for him to return to school and live anonymously due to extreme anxiety and conflict with his family. As he told me, he has zero interest in returning to any online presence. It wasn't the content of our videos, or interpersonal issues but rather something he's felt since working at Cow Chop. He just doesn't feel this is for him. It's taken some time for me to communicate this because of the nature of why he left. I don't want to compound any existing anxiety he may be experiencing by choosing the wrong forum."

Full post of why he left OFFCANNY/Cow Chop can be seen here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CowChop/comments/f7o3ev/alec_has_left_offcanny/

And his wiki can be seen here: https://cow-chop.fandom.com/wiki/Alec

So much for "living anonymously" lol

Another tweet from Lawrence with a laughing response from Rahul.

apparently Lawrence sent am email to his Twitch subscribers about the situation. Anyone sub want to tell us what it said?

 

[Pig Boss]

Do you think Bruce Greene leaving might also be related?

I'm not sure about Bruce but I do think it's interesting that Lawrence left immediately after Bruce did. He made no mention of it in the "Goodbye Bruce" video, he even mentioned he was stepping up and training to replace Bruce by taking on his responsibilities. Then a month later he was gone too.

OH, i just remembered something. When Inside Gaming was resurrected they let Lawrence manage that too, i wonder if it's something related to that?

 

[off meds / online]

these vaguetweets are extremely annoying, I wish they'd just air their grievances and stop acting like middle school girls.

Any idea if this is relevant?(edited) I did a bit of searching with no results.

I do not believe so. From what I can remember, Bruce did not want to work for anyone, not Machinima or RT. I think he was always disapointed that Funhaus only stayed independent for a week before becoming part of RT.

I'm not sure that would be the case. AT&T, which owns the whole mess, is $150B in debt and had been rumored to sell off all sorts of assets, including WB Games or even Crunchyroll. I wouldn't say the company is in dire straits but I'm guessing that they'd be more willing than normal to do some "consolidation" when it came to Rooster Teeth and its associated companies.

The fans would keep them alive. They'll struggle but they won't die from this specifically. They'll fire more people to consolidate some of the monetary backpedal.
