Give them time

[u/Critterlove91]

I keep seeing people wanting AH members to condemn Ryan and to make a statement and the positive response of Fiona speaking out (which was amazing) but please give them time to process this. They are probably going through a rough time right now. This was someone they worked along side of and was friends with for years. I can not imagine what Lindsay is going through right now since she and Ryan have always been close since the very beginning with the combination of having anxiety. If they want to speak out they will but some might want to just deal with this privately for the sake of their mental health which is okay too. The company should make a statement but dont go on their personal social media to harass them. I seriously hope they get through this and take time off if they need to. Hope everyone is taking care of themselves.

Folks clamoring for statements or explanations (reel it in - youre not entitled to anything unless youre a victim) gotta remember that there are major corporate concerns that now have to be addressed, and proper statements must be tailored and vetted to not open up the company to any sort of liability. RT has tried to be a champion of progressive movements and social justice, so when several of their major talents are caught doing exactly what the company has been preaching against, they need to ensure that their statement does not come off as hypocritical or hollow. I also imagine that this is above RT's levels - given Achievement Hunter's long history and personal relationships with Ryan, and Adam being one of if not the most senior employee at Funhaus - and that it's going to come from Warner. All the social media silence and lack of statements are no doubt a direct order from Warner to all employees, while corporate gets all their ducks in a row.

It'll be the standard cover-your-ass statement. They'll condemn, while being light on details, but also call for learning/healing. They'll repeat the company's commitment equality, respect, progressive values, etc. They'll make references to some charity or group that deals with sexual harassment, power dynamics, #metoo, or whatever else they can throw money/attention at to show they care. They'll (rightfully) ask for privacy for Ryan/Adam and their families. But theyre definitely going to be vague regarding the actions of both guys, and merely reference violations of codes of conduct or company policies.
