All the sources I've seen just say he cheated which is shit but I guess I'm missing something worse. As an RT fan, where would you say it falls on the scale of "Geoff having an open marriage and hooking up with another adult from a dating app with full knowledge & consent of his wife", to "Ryan groomed and abused countless vulnerable young women"? With whatever the fuck Adam was doing somewhere in the upper middle of the bad end.
christ, this question is loaded
i'm gonna speak as a try guys fan first since, y'know, that's what this whole situation is about. for anyone looking at the tags who don't know who the try guys or ned fulmer specifically are, he, zach kornfeld, eugene lee yang, and keith habersberger were a group of friends who left buzzfeed in late 2019 to create their own independent company. this is important to note because with all 4 of them being founders, that automatically gives them power over the employees in smaller positions.
i'm of the opinion that cheating is bad no matter what because it's an active decision done by the person/people doing the cheating. it's so fucking easy to just... Not cheat on your partner(s), so i believe anyone who decides to do so is a self-centered asshole, to say the least. in this situation, ned is in an objectively worse position because not only did he cheat on his wife ariel, he cheated on her with someone he employed (alex herring).
now speaking as an rt fan, i feel that comparing the situations between ned and ryan (i'm not touching everything with geoff and adam again because that's more or less resolved) is appropriate to a very specific extent. i covered most of that extent half-jokingly in this post i made hours before ned got kicked out of the group. along with both men's cringy-ass notes app "apologies", i think as of right now, that's where the comparisons between the two should end.
basically, ryan's ordeal is SO much worse, without a fucking doubt, no arguments about it. with that in mind, i still think the both of them are shitty, self-centered human beings, but ned is the """""better""""" of the two. not by a lot, but... You Know. as for the other guys you've mentioned, it's up to you to form your own perspective based on the facts and opinions i have shared here. there's no point for me to do that for you because i can't and shouldn't dictate how others should feel about all of these situations. that'd be fucking stupid. i'm not putting what ned has done on a full scale because, at least how i see it, it should be, first and foremost, seen as its own thing before being compared to other similar controversies of varying degrees.

About Akaashi
Since I've seen some variances in fandom I wanted to add mine two cents worth because why not
So far I've noticed that most visible are two options where his personality is completely watered down and limited to being pretty or on the opposite people make him crazy and chaotic at a push. And yes, his personality is really hard to interpret, and I'm not saying that I'm not wrong, I just think that both of this schemes are not fully right. But if it's your comfort character and you like to interpret him on your own way or you have any other reasons then that's none of my business do whatever you want as long as it's not toxic and/or harmful to other people. What I am trying to do is just point some observations I made while I was reading manga. Hope it'll help <3
introversion - I think it's obvious because he is not as loud as Bokuto or as friendly as Hinata and seem not to like being too loud but I noticed something else - the way Akaashi treats other players. He is reserved and shows them respect. He is not making fun of them, doesn't open up to them I'm not even sure if he does to Bokuto or his team more it looks like they are reading him like an open book AND most importantly he is not shy. He is not scared of people and don't give a shit about their opinion I would even say that he is kinda out going - I mean he would make a first step if he had a reason to
I think this panel explains a bit what I am talking about (the first part tho)
logic - you know, the overthinking thing not the biggest reason why I kin him not at all he is analyzing everything and treats things very serious maybe that's why he is not funny and, like Bokuto called him - he is a buzzkill. After that really long thread while he had a mental break down during the match I think he is scared of losing control. It's like a spiral - the more you think the more you are getting scared BUT I'M NOT SURE HERE - this story was really fucking hard to understand
nitpicking - this is the main pillar of this charter - you won't convince me otherwise. He is doing that but in a different way than Tsukishima. First of all it's the logic thing, especially seen during training camp and, the other one - pointing every single mistake in his behavior and the others too. I don't know maybe it's willing to be perfect, to work on weaknesses till they disappear. Well for some reason he was a vice captain in his second years and that's not a common thing. Also I think he is the type of a guy who would fire you without hesitating if you kept failing him
regular human reactions - he is not a robot, he is not callous - he get's mad when Bokuto does something stupid, he feels fear and happiness. I saw some fanfics where he is just an oasis of calm and THAT'S NOT TRUE. He has his limits he won't agree for everything and keep patient no matter what. Yes, these feelings will be bottle up but they still exist and they sometimes show up
sharp practice - he totally is a smarty just look at that smirk. He is better then you and he is not afraid to show it. I think he would be a perfect villain. He would play with his enemies with a big smile on his face. No, but seriously, this guy knows how to green his opponents and play on their nerves
Thank you for your attention. I hope that makes sense and sorry for any grammar mistakes
