This has been insane.
I am so happy it's all coming out. My partner and I have been noticing shit for years now but they hid it all so well with their NDAs and legal threats that we thought we were insane but no.

They are a vile company I used to be such a fan and tried sticking around after all the horrible shit in 2020 to support a couple of people left that I could stand to look at.

You "feel" like you let her down???
What even. You're out here flying planes, Burnie was showing off his Telsa, Matt dipped off, Burnie dipped off while Kdin and much of RT staff wasn't/aren't being paid for their work.
You didn't just let Kdin down.

Gus recently said this bullshit nothing of an apology and I just couldn't help myself. SO MANY of their former staff and contractor employees have come forward with the abuse they've faced, the overtime they weren't paid.

Kdin was called faggot in person and fugz online. The fans had no idea. WHAT THE FUCK. Maybe some of them did but like come on.

Mica came into the n word written on the huge whiteboard in the achievement hunter office. WHAT THE FUCK.

Many of the employees were ignored or fired for bringing up issues they faced. They were told to suck it up. It's so much worse than I know and I've been reading tweets from former employees and associated acts/ current employees and such on and off for the last 6 hours or so.

Even with Kdin saying they forgave and forgive Michael and Michael's been the one to point shit out like Ryan's staying behind when AH traveled and how weird it was years before he was outed as a pedo groomer. He's stated he didn't hang out with Gavin by choice in a video in the last year (it was so weird when that happened, after that, it was obvious something was up their chemistry has been gone for a while). There's more and I shouldn't be surprised AT ALL.

I'm reeling lol, my icon is of Fiona Nova of g4 fame when she was a part of AH. Ppl like Lindsay, Ky, BK, Ify and Fiona kept me around when shit hit the fan last time but with everything that's come out I can't even stay for Ky, BK, Lindsay or Joe :( I'm glad most of them stream, whichever ones don't suck I might support that way :(

Just waiting for more to come out. I want to know everything. Ugh. I feel for my partner, they were a supporter for the few people they liked and enjoyed relaxing to Challenge Accepted, LASO, and the Randomizers, and that new Minecraft Survivor thing was fun :/ Not anymore.

Gus's "apology" has me SO ANGRY. This 'I've always valued our friendship' bullshit is insane. Gus is literally a founder of the company and Kdin was an employee. Even if she was his friend, he should have been thinking about her as an EMPLOYEE first.

The founders, and upper management, can all fuck off. Burnie's never going to see any repurcissions from this, despite clearly contributing to the culture. Honestly, he and Geoff had so much direct influence over young Gavin as well, and I don't think either of them have ever owned up to the fact that they had a hand in him (and so much of their community) turning into such an ass.

I don't know how he could say any of that if he actually read what Kdin said.
What kind of insanity to claim he always considered Kdin a friend--okay, as a founder why was Kdin not paid for their work if Gus considered always her a friend??

Also!!! Geoff's likes have gotten a little wild.
He liked something that stated they were bullied into apologizing and that they'd done nothing wrong because of the times or whatever then when called out for it with screenshots he liked that tweet and others telling him he deserved to be bankrupted.

this whole thing. wow.

oooooh this is interesting to me. honestly just from following some of them on social media still gavin seems to have really removed himself from things. he gives major asshole vibes.
