Howdy do! I’m Raine/Ars/Arsenic Kneecaps and I have an idea!

I’m a librarian with a lot of free time at my desk so I do a lot coloring books. I’m also a big fan of RadioTV Solutions and so I’ve been pondering the idea of combining RTVS and coloring books.

How would this be done?

1) I want to trace screen caps from live action RTVS bits (Fax Hell/mass, Seance of Joshua, Spamton Value Network, Congress, Homer, GameClam,etc.) and slap ‘em all into a printable PDF “book” for fans to color however they see fit. Since some members of RTVS prefer to appear in virtual form-for example in the Congress stream where there are talk sprites (that I think were made by Mike? I don’t quite remember, please correct me if not.) for members such as Gir, Holly, Trog and Mira. Credit to the artists of these sprites would of course be provided.

2) I’ve also been thinking about making the coloring book a Zine of some sort. Where we’d all get together in a big Discord server, create and compile lineart fanart of RTVS and interstitially mix it in with the traced screen caps. Ensuring that no art would go without credit as a coloring piece can have the artists info paired with it.

I’ve never organized a zine before. And I’ve never made a coloring book- so I just wanted to gage interest and see what y’all think! Feel free to hit me with any ideas. I’d love to hear ‘em.

So funny seeing KH fans who don’t know abt RTVS talk about the dub. “I hope they’re not mean and cynical, ugh are they gonna talk about how stupid it is the whole time?” Brother those are your fellow men. Wayne did not make his elementary school assignments about light & darkness and name himself after Axel on AOL for yall to worry about that. That is your senior and you will SALUTE 🫡 Mike played og CoM when it came out these are warriors

As stated above there's been a huge outpouring of support in the waynecord for the letter writers over the past day or two (and also a sizeable amount of racist shithead behavior unfortunately, from fans and staff alike, which is disappointing and inexcusable) but if anyone wanted a most recent update, this is like as of within the last hour, a more temporary "official" response to the lengthy server discussions re: this serious issue

Im not indigenous so it's not my place to really comment on it but i thought people would like to know it at least seems like rtvs is FINALLY actually (hopefully) engaging with the actual contents of the letter instead of just going with kneejerk comebacks and total dismissals of criticism

(Using a backup account bc I really don't want to see the notifications on this ever again, as well as to avoid more harassment towards any one of us)

We're four indigenous american fans of WayneRadioTV and his twitch team RadioTV Solutions (RTVS). We each come from a different nation and background. As we are intimately aware, the lead dev and creator of the game P*zza T*wer is an unapologetic racist against native american and first nations people, having been documented calling us multiple slurs in his free time and inserting a racial caricature in the game itself. The November sponsorship for Fangamer's PT merch collection, that RTVS made the collective decision to take, has made every one of us behind this letter feel unheard, mocked, and ashamed to be Native and indigenous RTVS fans. We wanted to do something to confront the anti-native racism apologia of the RTVS crew.

After sending our criticisms to the Fangamer company itself, we came to the decision re: RTVS to do what white people always want us to do; protest peacefully with our words in an attempt to find a common ground and foster empathy. So we decided to write a collaborative letter in good faith, appealing to the humanity of the RTVS team by vulnerably expressing how this experience with anti-native racism in this community has been both hurtful and harmful.

Here is the letter in it's entirety as it was delivered to RTVS:

Upon delivering it via Wayne's discord server, it was not well recieved by the team at all.

I don't have screenshots bc we left pretty quick, but the entire interaction remains up on the discord General-2 channel if you want to look. To summarize, Wayne did apologize for 'misspeaking' when he originally implied the dev had apologized. He went on to say that nothing else was done wrong because Fangamer was the one paying the racist dev, not RTVS, ergo advertising the dev's merch was fine. Wayne then brought up one of our letter writer's personal vent post that was deleted the same day it was posted that mistakenly said 'donations' instead of 'merch', and cited it as why he was dismissing the rest of the letter. Mira kept telling us to just send a modmail ticket, Mike said that we don't actually have our tribe's best interests at heart for doing this, and a well known mod came out of nowhere to aggressively scold us as they believed the letter was calling RTVS homophobic? Still don't understand that last one.

Anyway, it seems most of the chat members present DID like the letter. Some left the server because of how they witnessed RTVS respond to us, and others sent us messages of support and solidarity. So maybe the tumblr RTVS and HLVRAI fans will like it too!

Please read our plea to RTVS, and come to your own conclusion on if this treatment of indigenous voices is one you want to go unaccounted for.

From all four of us, thank you for your time.

Howdy folks! I’m working on another RTVS clip compilation and in a similar vein to my last clip compilation this one is Winter Holiday themed! I’m having trouble finding clips though. I’ve been combing through Scorpy’s Extrafantasma Bonanza streams and past Faxmas streams. I am open to submissions this time around (or always, actually. I love slapping clips together!) so feel free to reply to this post with a wintery or holiday RTVS themed RTVS clip, or recommend a stream I can comb through, any lil bit helps and is appreciated. :-)

[revumajiosu]

Dare to enter their domain and witness the RTVS influences at their sharpest forme, and be filled with fear and joy...

My newest creation, made with love and care and 20-or-so minutes worth of RTVS clips, hopefully you'll see something new in here... indulge, my friends, for I hope to make more of these someday.

edit: the video might seem blocked on tumblr specifically, not sure if I can fix. video should still work on regular youtube site/app though! let me know asap if it doesnt so I can try and fix

[prophetmotive]

Not for me to accept the apology in the first place so don’t put too much stock in my opinion, but the thing thats disappointing me about RTVS’ apology, particularly Mike’s, is that like as much as I do genuinely appreciate them saying “we’re sorry, we shouldn’t have reacted badly”, I kind of wish there was a direct acknowledgement that the problem here wasn’t just attitude, it was racism. Like, I do appreciate Mike’s apology, but saying “one of my comments made people uncomfortable” and was “hurtful from the position of me being a white guy” is a very circuitous way to address that when you got annoyed you immediately said something racially charged. Regardless of the the situation, if in response to an Indigenous person’s criticisms someone said something along the lines of ‘do you really have your tribe’s best interests at heart’, I would say “woah, that’s a fucking weird and racially charged thing to say.” Immediately jumping to saying “your tribe” about anything here belies a very callous understanding of Indigenous issues, which is exactly the problem being raised in the first place. And that’s what I was hoping would be acknowledged in the formal apology, you know? I think (I hope) they ultimately mean well, and I’m not going to stop watching altogether because I have hope this did spur internal discussion that can lead to a more understanding viewpoint, but at the same time I am still personally disappointed.

The Great Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Debate

Mike accidentally brought Freddy's when they were eating at Sparky's and then laughed when Abby called it a restaurant. Vanessa and Abby gang up on him and say that it's a restaurant, in the middle of their argument Ness walks over and says, "Listen, there's four different things that something can be qualified as if it's job is to have food in it. First is a person, the second is a grocery store, the third is a grain silo, and the fourth is a restaurant."
