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-word] - 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
WTF

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.
this is why contracts have NDA for pay it lets companies screw over minorities and ppl they just dont like in pay

I could've sworn before they transitioned, Kdin often mentioned having a wife (or girlfriend)?

I might be misremembering things then.

But regardless, using a slur repeatedly but against someone that isnt that background/orientation isnt magically okay.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

Well, no, of course not, that wasn't my point. The point was that there's a difference between people saying a bad word as an "edgy" joke, versus people purposely targeting someone with a slur based on their sexual preference or gender identity.

I really do not get why you are trying to so hard to downplay what happened. It doesn't matter if they were "just joking", she didn't like it regardless. They were creating a hostile working environment for her and nothing was being done about that on top of the wage theft and forced overtime.

It's in your best interest to shut up about this, because it's very insulting to dismiss their behavior as "just jokes"

There's a difference, but the difference is between shitty behavior and extremely shitty behavior. Not worth examining with a fine tooth comb.

I'm not aiming to "downplay" anything. It sucks that they had to go through that, and I'm not trying to argue otherwise. I just think it's fair to keep certain context in mind to avoid making certain assumptions about people that aren't necessarily true.

You literally are. You keep stating how it was all just "edgy jokes" when that is irrelevant.

They were calling her a slur as her nickname, told her to "deal with it", underpaid her, and forced her to work overtime. It does not matter that they were just being "edgy".

There is no justification for running a company terribly.

That being said, most of them were kids themselves when they started running the company. Kids who obviously has no idea what they were doing and no idea how to run a respectful company that is inclusive and not reflective of jock mentality.

It is also what kinda got them noticed? Like if you look at the history of RT, the thing that got them on the map was being crass, disrespectful, and shitty.

You just kinda assume anyone who wants to work for them would be "in on it", and they had no idea how to operate any other way.

Yeah. But now that it's coming out that majority of people weren't "in on it" and when complaints were brought up they were just disregarded. That's just not acceptable.

I don't care that they were just doing edgy humor in the early 2010s. I enjoyed it back then.

I care that they constantly hurt people and did nothing to address their complaints.

Oh of course. There is no excuse. Seems their HR basically was like, "If you don't like it here just leave", which is not appropriate.

RT was at least the second company that the founders ran, after the call center

And call centers are like some of the worst exploitative industries, so the wage theft thing might be a holdout from that

Burnie, the voice of Church, was the long-standing head honcho of the company, and then frontman for the company after he sold it for a huge profit, before moving on. Theres zero chance he didnt directly know about pay inequity and the widespread use of slurs from his positions in the company. He has long since bounced from Rooster Teeth, though.

Geoff, the voice of Grif, ran the lets play channels of the company, meaning he was in charge of video production and streaming content where a lot of asshole behavior took place. He already bungled up a major racism scandal that they had a couple years back, but tearfully apologized and promised to be better, though the end result of that was to seemingly to continually ignore misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia for at least a couple more years (even being called out for his bullshit by the main accuser just a day ago).

Gus, the voice of Simmons, hasnt seemingly been directly implicated by anything yet, but he was high enough up for so long that he almost assuredly and at the very least willingly turned a blind eye to a lot of issues and complaints. I dont know what he does anymore, since he no longer runs RTX, beyond being a podcaster, and if anything might be an example of someone riding a cushy and well-paying do-nothing job for having founded the company.

Man, everybody who works at or has worked for Roosterteeth is horrible even when talking about how horrible they are to each other.

The reason I've avoided posting this is because these are new twitter accounts coming out just to smear Kdin. While I don't approve of what Kdin did, I don't want to give these accounts the attention to sway away from the actual criticism towards RT.

The fact that RT underpays, forces crunch time, and HR ignores workplace harassment are not okay regardless what kind of person Kdin was/is.

Just for the record on these being new accounts.
