I used to watch these guys a lot in college and would occasionally revisit their videos and now I’m just too skeeved by anything with Ryan in it because his “creepy daddy dom” persona turns out to not just be a character he’s playing, those messages were so embarrassing and uncomfortable.

And without Adam, Funhaus is pretty much dead on the water.
 
This seems like Lawrence trying to backtrack on his cryptic statements. he still said that there was much he wasnt going to talk about [yet]. And I don't think walking around with shit smeared hands is a big enough drama to have almost all the former FH members and guests (Spoole, Rahul, Lawrence) making tweets about how they're happy you finally got your comeuppance.

I think not washing your hands is indicative of your general behaviour and traits. so i'm guessing Adam has had personal and individual beef with each of these people and it has been going on for the longest time considering fucking SPOOLE left like half a decade ago.

I think with spoole, the general vibe of the office was that everyone was friendly-bullying him/he was the butt of the joke, but maybe adam over-did it, or took it to some extreme.

I honestly have no idea what couldve happened with Rahul but tt was obviously destructive as fuck. a brainstorming session of speculation on this would probably be productive. (as productive as Kiwifarms can be ofc)

With regards to Lawrence, it is obvious that he got cucked out of a managerial position which he was going to inherit after Bruce leaving. my opinion is that it was a collaboration between Adam, Elyse and james that fucked over Lawrence and made him want to quit on bad terms, (remember, lawrence didnt even get a goodbye compilation video).
What I think happened is that Lawrence wanted to keep the channel more gaming focused, while Elyse and James definitely wanted to do """"""actual"""""" comedy. you can clearly see in their personalities that they're tired with games and want to be "real" comedians. while they're legitimately funny, (James especially) they also seem like the people who let the "best and funniest internet power couple XD" go to their heads and get delusions that they'll do well in sketch comedy, wbich is obviously false if you've seen anything Arizona Circle related. James and Elyse, especially her, also exude smugness and general aura of feeling like they're above it all, so its not beyond reason to think that they'd do something like that to lawrence just to make their comedy dreams come true. btw, the channel has produced a shit ton of non gaming related content since Bruce left and all of them involved Elyse, James and Adam, so its possible Adam was just a pawn by the Aryan Masterrace couple and now they're just gonna throw him under the bus.

These guys had the chance to be MST3K for gaming, instead first James pushed his wife into the mix and then active Roosterteething of the channel started and so did its downfall.

The best content that they ever produced are the unedited inside gaming livestreams (what remain of them at least), because its just 3 guys hanging out and making fun of bad and terrible video games with improv.
Yeah to be fair though Lawrence did seem like a creeper. Not to defend Elyse or anything but that's just the vibe I got off of him, especially taking into consideration that "groping" incident
 
I believe that was Mica Burton.

That was Mica. Fiona was the one who was said to be attacked for her gender when she was criticized for just being not funny.
Thanks. I must have got them mixed up. I just remember people saying Mica was used to get a step closer to Hollywood and mainstream entertainment outlets through her dad.

Someone seems to be very proud of themselves

This just screams "ulterior motives". Who goes on about being proud to be a homewrecker?
 
Jess Kovic posted this yesterday night, maybe it won't be a divorce after all by the way she's talking.

Where he had the VR goggles on and accidentally clipper her tit as he reached for something in the game?
Not 100% on that, tbh.
That and the time during that Google trends where he jumped and fell like right on her. Im not 100 either but it just seems weird to me is all
 
Yeah, i'm astonished as well. like the idea of seeing professionally shot videos being sent to you as "nudes" and thinking, "yep, time to shove a niggercock5000 into my asshole" is so fucking out of this world. especially for someone who's spent a their entire lifetime either being on the internet or literally working in the industry.

On an entirely unrelated note, i just realized that if i wanted to catfish somoene all i have to do is find a really low-tier only fans whore, pay her some shekels and set up a dummy account using her pictures. when it comes to exchanging nudes i just use the whore nudes and if the other person asks for something particular, just pay the e-whore an extra buck or 2. in my mind unironically catfishing someone is autistic enough already, so you shouldnt stop at paying some pocket change and go all out powerlevel.
This is going on the information that (so far) Adam didn't try to fuck his underage fans and instead was catfished into doing some really dumb shit (including secretly filming and sharing adult photos/videos of his wife).

I image that part of it (beyond him being a stupid C00Mer) probably ties into how those Nigerian scam artists are able to get people to send them 10s of thousands of dollars. They start off slow, with lower amounts (like in this case probably asking for shirtless pics), then over time ask for more and more (underwear pics, dick pics, jerking off pics, ass pics, then progressively the gayer and gayer stuff). So, somewhere along the line the person internally gets the feeling that something is wrong, and they might be being tricked, but at that point they've already exposed so much that the consequences of them admitting to themselves that they were tricked/scammed are too severe for them to want to confront, so they convince themselves that they aren't being tricked and they keep going along with it.

It's kind of like a sick Sunk Cost fallacy.

Now, none of this applies to Ryan, since the gay catfisher just appears to have accidentally stumbled upon an actual predator. I know some people want to downplay it since the girl is batshit and was 17 at the time, but 18 is where the legal line is drawn, and everybody knows that fact and the consequences very well. If he's so horny he couldn't wait a year or didn't care about the fact that she was underage, that's a slippery slope. From personal experience, I remember being at a summer camp when I was 17 and a few months shy of turning 18, and even at that age having girls 2-3 years younger than me flirting and trying to mess around with me felt really wrong, with the difference a few years can make at that age. So a 38 year old married father of two messing around with borderline girls 21 years his junior is a bad, bad sign imo.

Idk lawrence always struck me as an over the top weirdo for the cameras and a normal internet sperg as a human. I think its tht kind of situation with Jack from AH, where they're the most likely to be the sex-pervert but they're aggressively not.
As regard to the groping incident, i'm pretty sure its clear that it was obviously an accident, i've been "in VR" several times and its easy to forget that theres an outside world, not because VR is enthralling, but because you just don't have any perception of the outside world.

Yeah fair enough

I feel like lolcows blow up so quickly these day, we went from accusations to sucking dildos and soliciting nudes from a minor in like less than a week. I feel like they already shot their load. Also whose dumb enough to get gay catfished, just go to a truck stop bathroom like everyone else.
 
I'll have to find it for the example but the basic run down is: Before Knuckles went missing for days and was found in dead in a public park he changed his web page to just being a gif of Jim Carrey saying "Big Gulp, huh?" from Dumb and Dumber. Then a few days later, after the body is found, Geoff randomly says "Big Gulp, huh?" in a Lets Play ans he and Jack break down laughing. The only reason I remember it is because it had no context at the time and was a weird reference to make. When I looked into it I realised it was because of Knuckles being missing/dead. TBH, though, fuck him, he was grooming people at fan meet ups and Jack nearly took his head off at the first RTX when he turned up.

Actually, it was a gif of this scene:
Whelp see ya later.gif
 
Anyone have the full archive? This is missing the following:

Someone posted them earlier in the thread but these links no longer work either.
 
Well I mean it's been what... 3 days since this started?
I give it a few more days before they all unfollow and Adam and Funhaus ‘part ways’ and it’s quickly gotten over with.
I assume they're either currently trying to drop him without paying him out or they're trying to sweep the situation under the rug by ignoring it. I think they kinda realize if they lose Adam they lose the only competent gamer on the team.

To be honest though whenever I've watched funhaus, or RT for that matter, I was more there for the comedy. I never really saw them as being great at the games but I guess that's just me
