It's basically never a good sign when they're trending. I was reading up on this a short while ago, pretty blatantly extensive homophobia and then transphobia on their part all the while using the former employee to get internet points for progressive hiring. Another former employee brought up the shit she dealt with (having basically been harassed out of the company for saying that white dudes don't know what women of color have to deal with, which also enraged their petulant fanbase): https://twitter.com/MicaBurton/status/1581381192829456384?t=kg3-cdoCdUb-uSCNjy8zfg&s=19 --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. ...

Just to provide a little insight and context, while it doesn't excuse use of the word, at the time this was happening, the person in question was still outwardly living as a straight cis-gendered male, as far as their coworkers knew. Again, that doesn't make it "okay" to have said, but I think that context is important to differentiate "immature edgelord jokes" from "homophobic/ transphobic assholes committing a hate crime against a known LGBTQ person". ...

I provided that context because it's the first thing people are looking at and paying attention to, and again, I think it's fair to differentiate homophobia/ transphobia from people just being dumb and immature. Workplace bullying is shitty, for sure, but I think the reason it got brushed off by AH was because, at the time, a big part of their humor at the time came from finding something that annoyed one of their cast mates and then hammering on it for the sake of a joke. I could rattle off a lot of instances of on screen reoccurring "jokes" that would seem very mean-spirited without context. Again, I'm not saying that excuses it or makes it okay that it happen to Kdin, but when the brand of humor heavily leans on "cast mates antagonizing each other", that's going to become ingrained in the culture at the time, for better or worse. And obviously, it did end up creating some problems in the long run. The pay stuff is shitty, for sure, but only certain people are directly responsible for that end of things. Unfortunately, though, this is another sign of how shitty the working class in the US has it, in general. There's really no such thing as "good" companies that value and care about all of their employees, in the US. Anyone that's not fortunate enough to elevate themselves out of the lower class is just forever stuck as a wage slave. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ellie was seemingly being set up as Burnie's protege, to the point that she took over his vlog and was his very public point person. Her leaving RT was a big surprise when it happened, but most just assumed she had gotten a better job offer. If she was getting dicked over, then every woman and likely every minority was getting fucked by RT. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm pretty sure that before coming out as trans, kdin was living as an openly gay man. So yes, them being homophobic when he publicly identified as gay and then transphobic when she identified as trans is telling in both circumstances. If using "he" in the past tense to refer to before she identified as a women is offensive, I did not intend it as such and apologize. I meant more to identify the uniformity of RT's behavior, i.e. being phobic at how the person seemingly identified at different stages of their life. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. ...
