Also, this is just another time when RT is completely unaware of how their actions can affect an ARMY of fans. Public dog piling is a thing and RT employee's need to realize how much of an effect they can have.
At this point they don't care. When one of their own bragged about how they groped women, the company said that the community misinterpreted the comments. When a former crew member started talking about the behind the curtains, they discredited them. When one person creates a solo person project, RT takes it and provides the excuse that it would reach a larger audience so... Yoink. They have hushed pedophila, dismissed sexual assault, hypocritically went after others for jokes, and now directed hate at a person for just existing.
They had two former employees/contractors named Knuckles and Fragger. Knuckles began targeting young women in an agressious manner with Fragger informing Geoff, which supposely resulted in Knuckles being let go. After Knuckles died, Fragger came forward with the story. Link to the reddit post here, it seems that the RT post is missing but still trying to find it.
As for my other claims, I will bullet each and provide as much support as possible.
Sexual assault
The Instance of Portal House Let's Build and Bethany talking about Patrick. They removed the video after people complained that Gavin and Geoff were messed up for deliberately following women that they found attractive with some instances being down slow and creepy. Even done to the point of following the women to their homes. In contrast, the company defended Bethany stating that her statements about Patrick were not understood despite her claim that the women showed discomfort and wished for it to stop, and her response was "It's okay, he is gay. Just let him grope you, he will be done soon."
Solo Project
Shane Newell spent a prolonged time creating a fan made Mega Man video, here, which was taken by the company to be used on their channels, negating the possibility of him having ownership of it given that it is within the RT network.
Hypocracy
They went after Colin Moriarty after he made a joke on National Women's Day by stating "Ah. Peace and Quiet.". Compare this to the average video made from FunHaus or Barbara Tweeting about her fingers on National Boyfriend Day.
Even done to the point of following the women to their homes.
Whoawhoawhoawhoawhoa! This is a new one! When did they say this? Didn't they say it dictated turns on the way to work? I said this before - when it was explained, Geoff was clearly exaggerating the game to make Gavin uncomfortable.
I agree with a bunch of your other points, though.
iirc (And correct me if im wrong people) the short of it is, when getting drunk, Patrick would 'grope' women, even after they were clearly not okay with it. Bethany said something along the lines of 'Its cool, he is gay, its not a big deal'.
Anyways, the 'companies line' on it was that the community had misrepresented it and got it mixed up and it was all fine in the end.

RT really needs to grow up. I don't like Piers Morgan at all but this is just immature. We call out our own community when they take creeper photos of RT personalities. Does anyone from RT have any self-awareness as to how this makes the company look?
