"Photographs taken without consent" is literally part of the RTX harassment policy

So, Rooster Teeth is a company that makes video games and animates stuff. The drama started off when one of its employees took a creep shot of Piers Morgan, albeit in a public place, then Morgan decided to be creepy in kind. RT employees respond to the creepiness by whiteknighting for a 5.5, maybe 6 in dim lighting, woman. Then the subreddit dedicated to a company fights with itself about who is at fault in this situation. This is white people as fuck. Literally everyone involved could die off right now and nobody but a bunch of presumably virgin nerds and whatever fans Morgan has, if any, would care.

1  shallowm 2017-10-16

then Morgan decided to be creepy in kind

Is it just me, or was his response not really that creepy? I mean, they took a creepshot of him, then uploaded it and pinged him.

Sure, he could have left out the ellipses from "Should have sent your friend over..." or worded it differently, but the response isn't that bad, in my opinion.

I don't know who either Roosterteeth or Piers Morgan are (outside of this interaction), so maybe I'm missing something.

1  Standard12 2017-10-16

Aye he make a pretty innocuous comment and everyone jumped on him. Standard twitter shite.

1  Chavril 2017-10-16

male feminists getting retardedly defensive whenever another dude shows how to interact with woman as if it's going to disrupt the weird harem they've constructed in their head

1  ironicshitpostr 2017-10-16

Not all rapists are male feminists, but all male feminists are rapists.

1  uglythepenguin 2017-10-16

I dont... think.. yeh alright

1  AltRight_WalterWhite 2017-10-16

TFW roosterteeth somehow out-douches Piers Morgan of all people

1  IvankaTrumpIsMyWaifu 2017-10-16

No idea who the fuck this chickenteeth is but seriously if Piers Morgan makes you look like twats you really just need to KYS

1  neupainneugain 2017-10-16

I mean would you want Gussy or bussy sent over. The woman is already a ho anyways and the dude is an aspie

1  umar4812 2017-10-16

This is white people as fuck.

Sorry, nigga.

1  _concerned_father_ 2017-10-16

then Morgan decided to be creepy in kind

Except he wasn't creepy at all. My god do male feminists like to project to make up for their own harassing/rapey behavior.

1  Lamza 2017-10-16

i'm gonna start taking creepshots of women in bars while calling them garbage and if they say anything i'm gonna ask all my colleagues to tweet shit at them, because I'm not a fucking creep

sounds about right?

1  AltRight_WalterWhite 2017-10-16

I particularly liked this exchange

Piers Morgan: Who are you people

Andrew Blanchard: Your worst nightmare

Nothin personnel... kid

1  caliform 2017-10-16

hehe nothing personnel...

1  HillaryDidNothnWrong 2017-10-16

if it's white women, it's okay

1  strathmeyer 2017-10-16

It must be hard for you to process what's going on here.

1  hitonmi 2017-10-16

What is wrong with Morgan's initial response? He easily could have just assumed she was a fan, and wanted her to come over for a better shot.

The Roosterteeth people all seem like dicks here.

1  BoxNStuff 2017-10-16

Even other RT employees think he could've meant something else.

1  Chavril 2017-10-16

even if you interpret it as him hitting on her who the fuck cares. She says no and he moves on. Welcome to being an adult you virgin fucking gaming fucks.

1  casualrocket 2017-10-16

the face of an adult

1  IvankaTrumpIsMyWaifu 2017-10-16

Adult-sized child

MFW mom runs out of soy tendies

1  IsADragon 2017-10-16

Yeah I think his reaction was fine, "Oh look fans, come say hi". Plus he was there with his wife, and posting with a public tweet so I don't think he was creeping....

Roosterteeth comes off pretty bad with this. Though I did enjoy Gavin's tweet which wasn't as knobish as the other ones.

1  Evolution-Happens 2017-10-16

There's a reason Gav is the most successful one outside of roosterteeth.

Anyone who fucking wrote RWBY cannot be considered a good person.

1  neupainneugain 2017-10-16

The original writer thought it was so bad he died

1  RayTage01 2017-10-16

Really? You're gonna do that?

1  uglythepenguin 2017-10-16

ELI5? I dont watch rwby

1  JohnGalt316 2017-10-16

lmao grab her by the pussy Piers

1  Fr33_Lax 2017-10-16

Isn't that the whole point of rooster Teeth?
A bunch of assholes got together and made a show about assholes that are supposed to be shooting at each other. Somehow this is some funny shit and turns into a professional career that helped start an entire industry of entertainment outside the founded entertainment circle of closeted assholes.

1  lunchza 2017-10-16

Who the fuck are these nobody's? I don't like Piers Morgan that much, all I know is that you've got to be really special to come out looking worse than him

1  Velxon 2017-10-16

Rooster Teeth made a show called Red vs Blue it was about halo and it was really popular then they expanded and made halo content in general until Minecraft where they made tons of videos for children that's all I can remember and I'm not a fan so take it with a grain of salt

1  IvankaTrumpIsMyWaifu 2017-10-16

So basically a bunch of nobody virgins. Seriously what sort of an absolute retard watches a video of someone playing a video game?

1  Velxon 2017-10-16

The kind of people who browse Rooster Teeth fam. Just imagine having to see what they look like, then the guys at Rooster Teeth have to act like the they enjoy seeing people like that. Disgusting tbqhwyf

1  TropicL3mon 2017-10-16

You seriously have to ask that in this day and age of Twitch E-sports being so huge? Guys who let grandpa on the computer he needs his meds

1  IvankaTrumpIsMyWaifu 2017-10-16

I've seen Twitch but I thought the only people into E-Sports were the slants over in shitty Korea

1  incineratechicken 2017-10-16

I’d hazard that Grandpa has gotten pussy in his lifetime, unlike anyone who watches Twitch streams

1  captainpriapism 2017-10-16

wouldnt be a grandpa otherwise presumably

1  deere442 2017-10-16

/u/incineratechicken hasn't been told how babby is made yet

1  MisterHundred 2017-10-16

They also make a garbage "anime inspired" show called RWBY which has actually attracted eastern attention as well. So they are relatively famous.

1  Velxon 2017-10-16

RWBY has good porn though man

1  MisterHundred 2017-10-16

a lot of shitty cartoons have good porn.

1  tehcraz 2017-10-16

Monty's fight scenes are on point though.

1  Michelanvalo 2017-10-16

Red vs. Blue was a great show for the first 100 episodes (note: the episodes were like 4-5 minutes in length originally).

Then it got weird...then they started using original animation and it got bad. Then they started venturing out to other videogame stuff and it was really bad.

1  Velxon 2017-10-16

They're on Netflix too if you want to watch em though its clear it was a YouTube show

1  aliceunknown 2017-10-16

Wtf is "Roosterteeth"?

1  BannaHamHock 2017-10-16

Kids making money on the youtubes

1  Ronocm13 2017-10-16

Roosterteeth did so much wrong this week. They had this, their most recent RTX was a bust and poorly planed and one of their sponsors is basically a pyramid scheme and they for sure won't touch on any of it. It used to be like three times a year they'd do something really stupid but now it seems every other week they are being idiots.

1  uglythepenguin 2017-10-16

Whats there pyramid scheme sponsor?

1  buartha 2017-10-16

What's hilarious is these two weirdos secretly photograph me in a pub & tweet it

Because no establishment Piers Morgan has ever worked at would ever do such an awful thing

1  _concerned_father_ 2017-10-16

Roosterteeth are the dipshits who verbally abused a gaming journalist for calling Fallout 4 a mediocre game. And they did this while wearing swag they were gifted from Bethesda.

Fuck Roosterteeth. They suck.

1  MegaSeedsInYourBum 2017-10-16

Fallout 4 was mediocre though.

INB4 NV was better.....NV was better.

1  LedinToke 2017-10-16

NV was in a different league

1  Eternal_Mr_Bones 2017-10-16

Pretty clear that Pierce is looking at the guy seated next to him having a conversation. Are they trying to imply he was watching them eat?

1  MisterHundred 2017-10-16

The best thing I've read in these reddit threads so far is that this is somehow incredibly insensitive and political suicide.

1  aqouta 2017-10-16

Who?

1  Magic_Apple_Donut 2017-10-16

I've been listening to the roosterteeth podcast for awhile and they have been getting really cringy lately. They have a few good jokes here and there but man it just isn't as much fun anymore.

1  MaybeNotaTurtle 2017-10-16

I haven't liked it for years. It was good back when it was drunk tank and was just a couple of guys getting drunk making bets, telling stories and fucking with each other.

1  Magic_Apple_Donut 2017-10-16

See that sounds fun and interesting. They were talking gun control, latest news, and things like that during a few previous podcasts.

1  neupainneugain 2017-10-16

Start at one and end around 130 problem solvdd

1  Forseti5 2017-10-16

Same here. I got into RT with RVB and the podcast way back sometime in 2004.

Now the only thing I really listen to from them is the RT podcast and off topic. Now they are going to shit as well. They’re getting increasingly political and turning into a perpetual cry fest/outrage machine. The community is even worse.

1  FrostBittenSalsa 2017-10-16

It really is a shame how they became a bunch of pretentious entitled crybaby pricks over the years.

1  neupainneugain 2017-10-16

Rooster teeth people are so fat is really disgusting tbqh

1  Mort_DeRire 2017-10-16

So like um apparently um Piers morgan is like um a super le ICKY creep
