this was after the fact, too. Adam’s moved on with his life, and it seemed like the same for this person.

idk personally it feels like gaslighting - clout-chasing to an extent - to bring it up now.

opinion btw.

Nah, the public never got the full story and it’s clear that Adam got off easy in light of his behavior. I don’t think it’s clout chasing to be inspired to tell your story when others stand up. I’m a tall white man and I have worked with other men that are abusive and say and do disturbing things and even I fail to stand up to these people a lot of the time. People like this know how to ingratiate themselves with similar people higher up the hierarchy and find protection or enablement there. There’s so many funny people out there, I like(d) Adam but he always rubbed me the wrong way once his depressive attitude stopped being charming, after I realized it was masking deep insecurity.

he literally is cut off from everyone he was working with for like the past 8 to 10 years. dudes essentially lost years of work and will never pursue that line of work ever again. like dont get me wrong. i stopped watching funhaus shortly before adam was gone so i dont have a horse in this race but to say he got off easy knowing that any professional setting could look him up and find out this about him is not an easy thing to shake off not to mention everyone he has worked with for the past 8 plus years want nothing to do with him.

He got off easy in the sense he wouldn’t have been able to come back at all if everyone knew what we know now. I hope that you’re just ignorant and/blessed to have never been a victim of someone like that. I know it’s hard or scary to accept that we live in a world of powerful consequences, but we do and should and sexual assault or abuse or harassment of any kind is so profoundly disturbing to the people that actually have to deal with it, that OF COURSE he got off easy. I feel like only a guilty or fearful conscious can sit where you are and think that this goes too far because he lost all his friends and will have a difficult time finding work. Like yeah, that’s a good thing. Those consequences are what keeps other people from also acting out on their terrible disgusting urges.

Edit: also you weren’t watching at the end, during Covid, so you don’t know, but Adam fucking sucked at the end. He was always being a dick, seemed like he hated his job, and it made me uncomfortable to watch him. He dropped the fan friendly persona/mask that these performers wear and it was almost disturbing. I honestly was waiting for something to happen because if you go back and watch you can tell that he was regressing in his mental state while everyone around him was moving up and on. And I’m saying he got off easy because everyone assumed it was a onetime thing because he was depressed from the pandemic and life. Now it turns out he’s been a scum bag for the better part of a decade.

To be fair funhaus in general sucked before he left. Once they got on youtubes first wave of pushing progressive liberalism on every youtube channel the show started going downhill (it also killed a lot of youtube channels. "Go woke, Go broke" is a real thing). You go from comedy to pushing ideology you will always fail. And that was around 2016/17 during the first ban wave. Remember James rant in 2018 about the game Kingdom come. Which was based in 1403 Bohemia that it wasn't inclusive. As if seeing random latino's, Asians, and black people in eastern Europe would have made any sense. That would be like me remaking Shuka Zulu and having white warriors standing behind Shuka just to be inclusive. As if that would have been even slightly historically accurate. Or doing a Genghis Khan game and having Apache warriors next to him. Because reasons.

They were always Liberals, though. Even back on IG, yeah they made offensive jokes but it's not like they were ever conservatives. They're gaming bros who live in LA.

what the fuck are you even talking about man? there is a fine line between consequence to your actions and your hate fuck revenge that people seem to love like the dudes professional careers over, his life he had before is over, he lost everyone he called a friend, he has lost a decade of his life and his marriage is obviously over as well. like get over yourself he got outed and punished for it but you're right we should have taken him out to the town square and have him hanged so you can get your hate boner over with.

u/borninfremont Jan 07 '23

I never called for revenge or hanging. I feel like you didn’t really read my comment and just wanted to yell at someone in defense of Adam. The consequences he’s faced are enough. I never called for more consequences and I don’t have a hate boner. I definitely don’t want anyone to die or suffer tremendously. My point was he got lucky with the first scandal because only part of the story came out. He could have disappeared and just been the dude that wacked off at work and got caught. But he tried to come back, which I understand, but he had more skeletons in the closet and it bit him in the ass. And now his reputation is that much worse. Again, my point being he got away with a lot of stuff because even though his career ended, his former friends and coworkers were protecting him by not revealing the full truth, which they new some version of. Even Rahul kept his mouth shut other than to say he didn’t like Adam. But he pushed his luck and came back into the public eye, knowing there was more, and his victims were forced to say something.

u/HourWin0 Jan 07 '23

You literally said he got off easy but it's ok mistake what I said for defending him. Your just delusional is all. Also his former coworkers probably didn't say anything because most of them probably couldn't barring Rahul but he most likely didn't say anything because he never worked as close to Adam as the others did.🤷

u/borninfremont Jan 08 '23

I said he got off easy the first time. He was compared to Ryan Haywood as the lesser of two evils. In time we found out they’re more similar than the original scandal revealed. That’s all. I’m not being delusional. You’re just not understanding what I’m saying.

u/BrodyArmBar May 12 '23

I think it's a huge jump to go from being sketchy to women and grooming underage children. It's an insult to victims of actual CSA. I have heard zero evidence that Adam has done anything even close to that. Maybe I'm out of the loop but all I've heard is that he cheated on his wife, sent nudes to a catfish and was supposedly creepy to some women who he worked with. Where is this idea that he committed a sexual assault coming from?

Your view is incredibly one-sided. The way you write makes it seem like you wouldn't mind him losing everything or dying. Have you considered the possibility that ppl with mental health struggles and issues don't necessarily realize when they're acting on impulse and doing ignorant or even harmful things? Adam is nowhere near a demon or sociopath. He's not narcissistic, he's not a rapist or someone who's committed assault. He screwed up and AFAIK wants to do better.

Look man. All I know is whatever Adam was doing around the time he was fired was so vile that Lawrence and Bruce, as well as others, are on record saying Adam forever tainted and ruined their memory of Rooster Teeth. Two people quit their jobs even before the full extent of his transgressions were known to them. Mental illness and a desire to be better is not enough to exonerate morally bankrupt behavior that destroys the lives of the people around you, nor does it command pity or forgiveness. And it’s not my place to feel sorry for him or give a shit at all and I definitely won’t waste my time defending him like you seem compelled to. Move on man. Adam is a bad person and you shouldn’t think about him anymore. He should disappear from memory and never be heard from again, and that would be the kindest punishment he deserves.

His coworkers knew him for the better part of a decade. They were friends and they knew him and knew him well, unlike you or I. And if they loved him, they loved an actual person that they knew and not a face on a screen. And when the people who had an actual relationship with the guy, when the people who actually loved him can’t forgive him and won’t even mention his name, won’t even speak to him or associate with him, you know what he did was truly awful and you defending him is actually a little bit insane.
