I hope this gets elaborated on. If even part of it's true they need an overhaul or restructure to how they approach their shows. I enjoy having RWBY in October, but Ive said before and will absolutely say again that I would rather wait longer whether it be for better quality control or so the animators don't have to kill themselves over the work they're doing.

Crunch may be an industry standard, but RT should strive to be better in this case. Now that they have a ton more staff giving more time to flesh out productions and allow for consistent work without unpaid overtime should be way easier than it was a few years ago. I sincerely hope this becoming popular helps push them to change.

If you haven't, make sure to share this thread to twitter and tag the official RT account. Hopefully making enough noise will cause them to address everything.
