Rooster Teeth shutting down after 21 years

Man… It’s crazy to see it go like this.

I used to be big into Rooster Teeth when I was younger, I have a lot of mixed feelings about how I feel about the company, its shows, and the talent behind the shows.

This news really isn’t that surprising tbh but man… it’s still a little weird to see.

Despite my qualms about the animation side of the company, I hope that some of the shows they had produced find new homes and can (maybe) continue.

Fuuuuuuuuck, I follow someone who works there, it was his birthday yesterday. What a shitty fucking thing to happen.
Zaslav needs to go, but at this point I have no faith that they won’t just replace him with someone equally bad or worse.

Thats wild. I also had a big rooster teeth phase when i was younger, and while I’m not exactly sad to see it go its definitely another hallmark of how bad the corporate media landscape is. WBD’s shutdown and cancel everything strategy is so murderous for pop culture as a landscape.

Gotta say, WB’s strategy of gutting shit and not telling the employees is fucking wild. We need infinitely better labor protections.

It does look like WB is looking to sell Rooster Teeth’s animation IP’s… which is… interesting.

maybe there’s hope that some of the people that work on RWBY and stuff have a chance to continue the work, I think I saw a few of Monty Oum’s former colleges looking to buy the rights to it but we’ll see how that goes.

Them or Crunchyroll because it’s so popular in Japan

Listening the the RT podcast live right now and Holy shit

Everyone does not give a fuck anymore LOL I love this.

Openly talking about WB being shitty and then openly talking about what sponsors they actually liked vs the ones they hated

They don’t give a FUCK anymore (good)
