    There was a few things, I can’t remember all of the details but here’s what I remember:

    The CEO was arrested for abusing his wife.

    One of their content creators, James Ryan Haywood, was accused of having very inappropriate interactions with multiple fans. Some of which being of questionable age.

    There were also staff members who alleged that there was a toxic work environment. I don’t remember if it was misogyny, racism or both.

    Then there were allegations that the team that worked on RWBY were severely underpaid, with most of them not getting paid at all.

      Just mentioning this here because I literally can’t see @[email protected]’s comment while signed in and hoping they’ll see this.

      Duke, you’ve accidentally mislabelled all your comments as being in German. This has the effect that anybody whose account is set to say which languages they speak, but hasn’t included German in that list, won’t be able to see your comments.

      On Jerboa it shows up saying “There is no record of this comment”

      On lemmy-ui (the default web UI) it’s way worse: it doesn’t show your comments, and it doesn’t show any replies to you either. It shows a “load more replies” button, which spins for a couple of seconds before failing and still showing the load more button when you click it.

          Ha. Thanks to the user tag I can see this one from my inbox but if I click through…nothing.

          Anyway, that’s unfortunate. Is Voyager being actively developed still, and are the devs responsive to feedback? May be worth filing a bug report with them if so.

            Same on my end, that’s why I included it :D

            Afaik Voyager is still being developed yes. However I was also unable to change the language of the comment in Jerboa. I can change my general language in the web ui tho. Urgh. No idea.

      I’ve forgotten who but I know one of their content creators was accused of either grooming or at least having inappropriate conversations with a or potentially multiple minors.

      James Ryan Haywood did some penis crimes at Rooster Teeth conventions. Basically a dozen variations on “not technically rape.” With fans, of questionable age, on the company dime. As soon as credible accusations arose, his ass was gone, and the rest of Achievement Hunter had exactly one emotional-and-drunk livestream to say they were never going to acknowledge him for the rest of their lives.

      His whole personality on-camera and in-game turns out to be really close to how he sincerely acts and thinks. He was not playing a heel.

        I had completely forgotten how bad it was. I’ll edit my previous comment to fix that error.

          I don’t think an edit was necessary, but if you’re gonna edit it, he committed sexual assault against multiple probably-legal-at-the-time fans.
