Women of Rooster Teeth

This was a wonderful panel to watch and I'm glad it exists.

I went through a lot of thoughts while watching it, but this panel was seriously helpful to me. as a guy, it was helpful to me to just separate the idea of me as a person, versus what I can offer as an employee. genuinely lovely perspectives.

Pretty sure I said something similar to this in chat at the time, but I'll say it again here: I like the way Steffie handles all the AH accounts in her "emotional or girly" way, and I'm a guy who has been watching AH since the Ray days! People grow, and AH and the community has grown more emotional, kind, and expressive at least from my perspective. Less manly macho bullshit. At least from my viewpoint as a white american dude, the concept of "Manliness" is being rightly exposed as a major issue and is being slowly altered or removed. Society taught boys for a long-ass time that showing emotions is a weakness, you gotta be tough and hard all the time, if you play with dolls and makeup instead of cars and sports equipment then you are not a Man and that's a Bad Thing. Even if nobody outright told us those things, all the media we watched or the older guys in our life definitely suggested it unconsciously. We're kinda on the way to deprogram all that bullshit, but that takes time to recognize the issues and learn how to think differently. What I love the most about Achievement Hunter and Rooster Teeth right now over where the were 5 years ago is how much more openly emotional and positive the cast and community behaves! Whenever I get on chat now, it's flooded with lighthearted jokes and Firts and Hearts everywhere! The Love is tangible, and I'm living for it! So Steffie, keep running the accounts the way you're doing it, if some people have a problem with it, that's on them. I guarantee you that most people who see your work love it! 💚🖤💚🖤
