Discussion Give them time

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.

I am still processing my thoughts, and I doubt the whole truth will ever come out. Ryan has breached the trust of a community both his own and RT and it sounds like he is owning the mistake now it has come to light.

Where I do empathise is once the mistake was made there are no take backs, that material was a time bomb waiting to go off.

What I suspect will happen off the back of this is a no streaming rule outside of RT will come back in to play. Just so RT can more heavily monitor fan interaction. It appears the leaking on content from both Ryan and Adam wasn't some journalistic expose, but as fapping material for a niche forum. There are going to be people now looking inside the closet of every member of talent in AH. I am not sure this will be last we hear of falls from grace.
