if i ever try to pretend i have a sense of humor please remind me that i just thought of the concept of a phoenix named boomerang "because he always comes back" and started laughing so hard i almost threw up
i said this in the tags of a previous reblog but i need non-rvbs to understand just how terrible the shutdown of RT is.
this is not just a case of a group of fandom weirdos being overdramatically sad about rvb or AH ending, this is a group of people angrily trying to hold onto something ephemeral that shouldnt be ephemeral.
the RT site will be wiped out of existence on the 15th of may. yes, okay, there is a logical argument that if it's losing that much money then it should go down. but it's not just the site. RT have said there's no guarantees that even the youtube accounts will remain by next year. there's a lot of content that isnt on the youtube channels now. there's even more content that was never on the youtube channels.
to people who arent into rvb, or any of RT's content, this should be a warning. this can happen to any media.
this is why media preservation is important. make backups of the stuff you love. make backups of the stuff you dont love. make backups of the stuff you hate. its important to somebody, and its important to society.
media is a reflection of people's thoughts, their hopes, their dreams. to stand and watch media be irreversibly removed because it is deemed "unworthy" is to go against the concept of media creation itself.
yes a lot of RT content is shadowed by the company's underlying toxic culture, but you cannot argue that this company and the content they made is responsible for so many great things.
this isnt a fandom thing. this is a media preservation thing.
Idk how many RoosterTeeth fans are on Tumblr, but watching the final livestream rn I'm getting so emotional. This company is what got me into video games, got me interested in the entertainment business, was the catalyst for my brother and I connecting as teens, helped me make friends in college, and made me into (I would like to think) a compassionate adult. Most importantly, I can now spell achievement correctly... most of the time.
I know they've had their rough patches, but there are so many wonderful creative people at RT who I wish the best in their future projects <3
Rabbis from the US and Israel marched towards the Erez crossing carrying symbolic aid for Gaza and calling to end the war. The police blocked them a few hundred meters from the border, and arrested 7 protesters. source
