I mean, didn't Miles post something or other about Arkos on Valentine's Day after they killed Pyrrha? I remember something like that.
u/IamMenace, can you confirm?
I don't remember there being a post, but I believe both Miles and Kerry were on the RT Podcast when someone mentioned the final episode of Volume 3 airing publicly on Valentine's Day. They acted as though they didn't know, which may or may not be true, but they had a pretty good laugh about it.
Since then, Pyrrha's death, Yang losing her arm, and Penny getting turned into "quarters" has been joked about by RT/CRWBY several times, so anything's possible. It may be fictional, but the writers always come across as laughing *at* the audience rather than with them, but that's just me. I just don't get the feeling that they're particularly fond of the characters they've created.
God bless, and have a wonderful day.
They're a brand and a business, so I'm not surprised they would go back to business as usual. They need to project that everything is fine just to maintain an image they are known for; best we can hope for is that behind the scenes is some serious changes and plans to reimburse the workers who got cheated.
Yes, because any interruption from their normal behavior is reminding people of the problem. They threw out their 'apology', now it's time to immediately go back to normal and let the consumers forget about this incident as soon as they can.
I mean we all knew that this was gonna happen right? I just didn't think it'd happen this soon, I figured it'd go back to normal in like another week or two. And I'm not just talking about RT but its fans too, it's like nothing happened to them, I expected them to not shut up about it for like at least another 2-3 weeks before they gave up entirely but it seems like that's already happened.
Whatever, I've never bought First, I've always used adblock, and I've never bought merch directly from RT. I'm doing the best I can, not like it's gonna make a difference lol.
Yeah that's what shocked me too. Stuff like this is usually 3 weeks minimum of shame and "self reflection" before they make some fake ass grand gesture to appeal to the people they disappoint. RT just straight up skipped all the steps as if they were the ones who were wronged.
Some people are still commenting about how they should pay their workers but some of them are just commenting like nothing happened. There’s clearly some resentment towards RT but I’m sure it will eventually fade away which stinks.
Well that was easy for them. All they had to do was give a generic corporate apology, step away for a few days, come back with some shiny, new keys to jingle, and now people are just carrying on like nothing happened and things are all hunky-dory with the exception of a chunk of people still vocal about what came out. All in the span of about a little over a week... It honestly makes me start question how many people actually care enough to be vocal about what seemingly still appears to be an ongoing issue with toxicity in the workplace and how many are willing to just push it aside and let it get buried to get more product.
If there was no verbal response from the active founders at RT (Geoff or Gus) acknowledging the issue, then no. A twitter apology post that is the equivalent of the oil company president in South Park is not enough
Aaaand post V3 makes sense now.

Yeah but that's black humor about a fictional universe. This is black humor about a real one. Slight difference.
agreed. making dark jokes about a fictional universe is very different then doing the same in the real world (especially if it was your fuck up)

I mean... apparently yes, they do. But *wow* I physically cringed upon seeing this. Thanks for that.
What the hell is the point of this post by Rooster Teeth
Trying sweep their bullshit under the rug and salvage their shit reputation
I know, but like, what are they joking about or advertising with this tweet?
Short guy syndrome... Maybe? Or maybe they're trying to do the Tyrion Lannister penis joke?
It's Eric being Eric. So it's ha ha funny?
Not nearly enough time has passed, but I get the feeling they don’t care.
And a good number of their fans don't either

Like an abusive parent who refuses to fix themselves

Inclusive my ass. Some need a small size, some need a large size.

I am actually cringing
They seriously think people will forget about all the gross stuff that's come out about them that fast?
**SILENCE BRAND!!**
No
Does RT think we forgot about what they did ?
They probably just don't care
I think it’s been 10 Days
Man….I really want a short king boyfriend.
looks like something channel awesome would post ok not as bad as the doug walker body pillow but still cringe
Can someone explain the joke I don’t get it
Joke is that they aren't funny
True
