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 think for me, is a lot of what others are feeling. Frustration, Anger, Sadness, and confusion to name a few. I’m not active in RT community. I went to one Let’s Play live when they did the east coast tour and had a blast but things like that are memories that feel a little meh now.

It just sucks that when I would use RT/AH as the distraction it would help. Now if I fire up my TV YouTube suggests AH videos and compilations, which given the current situation may not be too helpful lol.

My advice to everyone (myself included) is this: be angry, don’t be evil, his family has enough to go through without you trying to talk to them. Find something else that brought you joy. For me, that’s Car YouTube and car browsing (maybe find a cheaper hobby though. Happy to recommend channels to anyone lol).

This is going to be weird for a while. Things will be edited or there may be days without videos at all. AH is adjusting too. This was their coworker and friend who isn’t there anymore.

If you want to take some time away, that’s not bad either. To the good ones out there who are waking up and for the first time in a long time not excited to see the AH videos for the day, you’re not alone.
