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):

Going to be tough to verify any of that, have RT confirmed that that person actually worked there, have any known former employees been able to corroborate this?

This. Does she actually exist. Does RT even exist?

This is all very sus until we can get these basic facts down and I for one, refuse to accept these accusations until we get to the bottom of these very important facts.

They are based in Texas.

Texas does not care for employee rights and very little corporations are going to choose to stick up for employees.

considering that we know what Mica Burton went through before, i'm inclined to believe it.

Every day I came into work I was called F*gg*t - but they could not use that name in content so when anyone was recording I was called Fugz instead. For any fans who used that nickname for me for years, thats what you were calling me.
oh, shit, i remember seeing that name now and then. nothing i took notice of, but that changes it completely

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".

Tbf, Gavin and Micheal would have no control over how much Kdin was being paid. Though of the 3, Micheal's is the only one that seems sincere.

It does not matter if they were not a trans person back then. It doesn't excuse the abuse, it doesn't excuse the exploitation of her time or the lack of compensation. She was unpaid as a contractor before brought on full time which has never been retifiy.

The issue is more than just "they said some slurs because edgelord humor".

Gavin's is the only one that comes off apologetic. Geoff - This was back when I wasn't sober and wasn't thinking clear, sorry. Michael - I was young and immature, sorry.

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.

Micheal is the only of the 3 that actually reached out to Kdin (years before this was posted mind you) and apologized about his behavior.

Man, i stopped watching RT content after Bernie left the podcast, but this still sucks to hear. Its like some big controversy comes out at least once a year.

Ray's probably glad he got the fuck out long before shit started hitting the fan.

Now this one is surprising, but telling. 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.

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.

I wouldn't assume that. I believe an AH member when the Ryan stuff came out removed AH from his twitter bio to avoid being questioned about everything from random twitter members. Possible just trying to avoid being brought into everything and not actually leaving.

Also nothing is stopping Barbara from coming on to voice yang on contract like both Weiss and Blake's VAs.
