Crazy to think the path that lead me to RT was watching a Slo-Mo Guys video of Gavin and the water filled red balloon experiment back in physics class.

Not mad anymore, just disappointed.

So I recently recalled a relatively newish Minecraft LP that AH did where Gavin describes an incident where a branch fell on his head and he believed it was Geoff and if I’m remembering right, he still does believe it was Geoff. It was one of their Hardcore or “YDYD” videos if I’m remembering that right.

Now, I want to preface this with a “None of this excuses the shitty things that these shitty people said or did” but… What’s the Over/Under on the really crappy people who were in close and constant contact with the founders having their bad traits fostered, propped up, and amplified by this sort of attitude from the founders? I wouldn’t be surprised if “Connect the Hots” was all Geoff’s idea, and he made Gavin go along with it. What are the odds that Barbara was uncomfortable with the F-Slur but constant contact with Burnie erased that?

Because IIRC, Gavin was still living with Geoff at the time, and he still very much looked up to him at the time. I also heard that there were some recent stories about Gavin barricading his door so that Geoff wouldn’t break in and stick his fingers up his butt. Some starstruck young adult would probably see this behavior from someone he admired and would want to emulate it. Yeah, Gavin was an adult at the time, but he was still very young and impressionable. Same with a lot of the crappy people who looked up to and admired the people who made RvB. Same with all the other crappy people like Barbara.

I’m just wondering what caused the guys who could have been decent people to end up like this. Gavin probably could have just made his dues with his slo-mo guys stuff. People like watching things happen in slow motion, he probably could have made a good career out of that or in cinematography/camerawork. Barbara could have been a cosplayer, and could have been a streamer. Like, come on, how many people would subscribe to a pretty girl playing FPS games on twitch?- Let’s be real here, it would probably have been a lot, and she could have gotten by on that. So many of these people could have had careers not involved with RT and ended up being decent people instead of what they are now.

If anything, I’m not mad at these people anymore, if anything… I pity them. They had the chance and opportunities to be better people and then it was all quashed by a bunch of dudebro gamers basically encouraging their worst attributes. That’s why I feel bad for these guys who worked under the founders. They had every opportunity to be better, but then they ended up in the one place that not only tolerated, but encouraged that sort of toxic behavior and ended up being horrible people.

At this point in time, I pity RT more than I am mad at them. They had it all! A loyal fanbase, no corporate oversight for their content, all sorts of great and wonderful people working for them… And they decided to shit all over that by being racist, homophobic, biphobic, transphobic, stingy, and downright horrible. If anything it’s pathetic.

It’s pathetic that they couldn’t grow out of their CoD Lobby mentality. It’s pathetic that they put more money to celebrity VAs than to their own in-house VAs. It’s pathetic that they perpetuated this sort of thing in their own workplace. It’s pathetic that they all decided to be horrible people and to encourage being horrible.

Again: None of this excuses their behavior, but it is clear that it was cultivated and encouraged by the founders and their CoD Lobby attitude. These guys just refused to grow up.

The founders were horrible, and then they spread that horribleness because funny™.

I hope that they can all just find their own paths now and grow as people. Be better. It won’t make up for the damage that they caused, but maybe they can find a way to be better people for newer people.

Doing and saying dumb things when we were young is one thing. Continuing to do and say those same dumb things is another.

Like I said in the title: I’m not mad anymore, I’m just disappointed. They couldn’t clear one lousy bar of not being bad. They crashed into all the bars. And I’m willing to bet that they also did horrible things at bars too.

Hauntober Prompt 24: Nightmare

Nightmare Fuel

“Freddy Krueger isn’t scary, he’s just a guy with finger knives.” Dan complained as he plopped onto the couch behind him. Watching as Gavin slipped a disc into the DVD player before rushing over to the couch and nearly tripping over himself along the way.

“Of course he isn’t scary, but he is a horror icon. If we didn’t include him in our movie marathon it’d be like Christmas without Santa or something.” Gavin explained as he started the movie.

“But he’s the most easily avoidable guy, just don’t fall asleep!” Dan exclaimed, it just didn’t make much sense for a bunch of people to be easily defeated by some guy wearing an ugly sweater.

“Dude, you can’t just put off sleep forever, you have to fall asleep eventually or your body will just force it to happen.” Gavin countered. “Nancy is the only smart character in the movie unfortunately. That is why she’s the final girl and not Glen.”

“Well Glen couldn’t have been the final girl anyway.” Dan interrupted.

“You knew what I meant.” Gavin countered with a laugh.

“I mean Glen had one job and he fell asleep, that’s a bad friend. Like sorry mate I know you asked me to stay awake but I got bored.” Dan joked as they turned their attention back to the opening sequence.

The pair watched as one by one Nancy lost her friends and the fedora-wearing demon taunted her. Applauding for the special effects used during the scene with Tina in her room during a nightmare. Cheering as Nancy set up traps throughout the house for Freddy and finally bursting out laughing as Nancy's mom was pulled through the front door window at the end.

“How was this approved for release in theaters!? That was so laughably awful looking.” Dan groaned.

“Did they seriously not think pulling an inflatable doll through a small window would look bad?” Gavin laughed as he shook his head. “It’s a shame how such a small part can throw off the whole film, but to be fair the rest of it is pretty good.”

“I’m just looking forward to watching

Dream Warriors

and New Nightmare. Those are great, the others not so much. Freddy’s Revenge is a weird one, cause it’s not bad, but it also doesn’t feel like a Nightmare on Elm Street film even though Freddy is in it.” Dan explained as he listed off the films in the franchise.

“You don’t like Freddy vs Jason?” Gavin gasped from shock.

“Now hold on, I never said I disliked that film. I just consider it more of a crossover film than in line with the main series is all.” Dan answered, easing Gavin's minor shock.

“For a minute there I thought I might have to end our friendship and get someone else to do The Slo Mo Guys with. Just dodged a bullet there.” Gavin teased with a grin as Dan shoved him.

“Good luck finding someone else willing to let you test all of your video ideas on.” Dan retorted with a laugh.

the duality of gavin free is hilarious to me. he has been playing minecraft for 9 years and he is still incredibly bad at it. he co-runs the immensely popular slo mo guys youtube channel. he once went blind for three days after hitting his head and didn't think to go to the hospital. he has worked on multiple big budget films including hot fuzz, the second rdj sherlock movie, and snow white and the huntsman. he thought that if you throw a knife by the blade it is guaranteed to embed itself in the wall. the "gavin screaming" meme refers to him.

Gavin: Today I'll be recording footage of particles leaving your mouth when you cough or sneeze. Then I'll watch them with a very special guest.

Me: ... No. Gavin "How do words good" Free didn't manage to get...

Gavin: Hello, sir.

Me: ... Well, I'll be damned. An Achievement Hunter collaborating with the US Government. These are the end of times.

*** I'm all about this, by the way.

Everything is so bittersweet.

I was introduced to Slo Mo Guys content back in 2013 in my physics class and through Gavin, I found RT. And eventually, I came across AH. I was apart of this fandom for a good 7 years. I only recently went back to watch their older videos just to remember the old memories and inside jokes. I haven't watched many of their new stuff or got to know the new cast members. The only new video I've watched of them came out 2 years ago with the Hitman 3 series with Gavin. But then, I stopped there for some reason.

Hearing about AH today really made it bittersweet. Idk if I'll follow in their new projects, but who knows.

A large part of my fandom experience came from spending time with them <3

Dan: All you do is press a button on the camera!

Gavin, having to adjust the camera settings, fix the lighting, shoot the footage, download it, edit it, occasionally add in sound effects, and probably do much more:
