    Lmao get fucked.

    I was a committed fan back when they were so proud of being an indie studio. I paid for sponsorship because I loved supporting them as creators.

    Then they sold themselves out, changed sponsorship to a subscription service, tried to squeeze every last penny out of their audience with adds and shitty merch and low quality loot crate shite, all the while they massively expanded their productions as fast as they could, way beyond their means.

    And anytime they did some shitty business practices that actually caused some controversy they essentially said “fuck you, we’re right” even when they completely shat on the legacy of Monty, fucked over his Widow, and fired the guy that was essentially his apprentice because he disagreed with all the changes they made to his visions and all the cost saving measures they implemented that tanked that quality of RWBY.

    They leadership and key talents all had their heads so far up their own assess they thought they could do whatever they want and get away with it. Whether it was abusing their staff, lying to their audience, being openly homophic and trnasphobic or grooming 16 year old girls.

    Honestly it’s a tragedy that it took so long.

    Although I do feel slightly bad for the tiny handful of their staff that were genuinely nice people, but overall this is a good thing.
