Decided to go on a bit of a Ryan deep-dive to see what I could find of relevance to the current situation. Sorry for no Adam content; I've never watched a Funhaus video, nor have I ever been interested in them, so I wouldn't know where to look. Anyway, here's some mildly interesting stuff:
This video of Ryan and Meg on their Japan trip, in which they both wear maid outfits. Can't say for sure if they shared this hotel room or not, but I will say that the room doesn't appear to be one of the kinds with two rooms connected - it looks like one small room with an adjacent bed. So there's that.
This RT skit in which Ryan and Chris split their "assets" (the office) during an "office divorce." We'll need a quick archive for this one - I can bet anything it'll be gone soon.
This brief mention of Ryan from one of the (many) RT podcasts, in which Jack describes him with the quote, "I bought these beans from him, and I don't know what happened. Now all my tires are flat and I have no pants on." I never realized how many times the theme of Ryan being a sexual deviant/creepy guy came up whenever people talked about him, even as a joke.
This gifset; while nothing about it is particularly sus, it is quite old, and according to the caption, took place in a Tinychat (which is a well-known breeding ground for creeps and pedos). I think, timeline wise, this really marks the notable change in Ryan from "softspoken IT guy who plays games sometimes" to "wannabe casanova who lives to flirt with fans." It's also just embarrassing as fuck to look at
This audio clip from their
Creeper Census let's play in which Gavin says "we're not in prison, Ryan," and Ryan cheekily responds, "Not yet." That's just a little too on-the-nose right now, Ryan. (Sorry, I'm too lazy to hunt for the video timestamp, but the clip is hosted on Tumblr and can be easily downloaded.)
I'm sure there's more relevant stuff out there, but these are all I found of particular interest at the moment. In hindsight, it's easy to see how many signs there were that Ryan may not be a guy on the up and up.
I'm doubtful that that will ever happen. The only person I can see doing that is someone like Ray, who was close enough to have the intel, but has been gone long enough that completely severing ties with RT professionally would cost him nothing. That comes down to temperament, though, and I think Ray might just be happy to be keeping his nose clear and not having to grovel before the internet like the current RT members. So I can't imagine he'll put himself back into that line of fire, even if he does have key information. If anything, I can see him making a burner account on Twitter or something and dropping a bunch of shit to let people put it together on their own.
