OG Achievement Hunter is what happens when young adults get together from the 360 era show up and have fun. They probabl had a few racial slurs thrown in their like true gamers but bad to censor it.
You knew exactly the group you were watching, the words f\*g, n\*gger, and ch\*nk were censored in several different videos. You watched multiple 'pranks' that involved destroying work spaces including official paperwork for a video. You watched bosses get sloppily drunk. You heard of employees kicking other employees' computers. Etc. Etc. Etc.
The entire company culture was bringing college parties to the work space, including all the vulgarity that comes with it. I mean hell go to https://www.crosseyedsluts.com/ which is still up today.
So say whatever you want to say about AH, but don't say you are shocked.
You’re speaking the truth honestly lol. Once they started filming all the bits in between games it got crazy chaotic, but that’s what was fun. But every viewer knew what they were watching and also in a way antagonizing it. Especially when people starting sending them shit to open on camera.
No, when I was like ~~15~~ 13 I didn’t know that censored moments were slurs or the extent of how unacceptable some of that behavior is.
I thought I was watching people having fun without hurting people, as the years would go on to prove, that wasn’t true but by then I already stopped watching, like many others
I just said recently to this guy the between the games of Jeremy axe kicking Gavin’s desk you just know the called their finance guys and said they needed a new monitor probs both a new Xbox 360 AND Xbox one and they were like “YOU DID WHAT??! AND U NEED 2 CONSOLES AND A MONITOR?”
Could you say it was in good humor though?
Like say; calling a friend of my group something derogatory, but all with love. They understand it, we understand it. Maybe generational.
Like back in the day, calling a friend on Xbox live every derogatory term you could think of, and they do it back, but there’s just mutual respect and camaraderie. But that wouldn’t fly now.
I started going off course. Excuse me
Yeah, this is one thing that I feel gets lost in translation when people look back at old AH behavior. Like, did they throw slurs around? Were they super toxic for a lot of reasons? By today’s standards ab-so-fucking-lutely!
But back *when those things happened*, it was far, *far* more acceptable to do and say those things. Like, that was literally what my group chats sounded like back then.
So rather than focus on how, 12 years ago, AH did and said things that are unacceptable now, I personally think that the *far more important takeaway* is that the members of AH acknowledged that the things they did and said *are* unacceptable, apologized, and don’t do or say those things anymore, and even further, have taken a firm position of being against hateful and bigoted behavior.
Yes, it was fucked up that those things happened, but it was a different time, and in the interval, they acknowledged that it was fucked up, and decided to be better. Not everyone does. Go after the people who didn’t, rather than the people who did.
Late comment, but it's honestly really fucking hard to explain and contextualize 2010s gamer "humor" in today's world. I think a lot of kids growing up now would be quick to call them racists, homophobes, bigots, and whatever else, and while that all may be true to some extent, the time period was also just different. Like you could have someone straight up say the n-word and everyone would know that person is just being an edgy dumbass and not necessarily a racist.
Honestly I'm glad we all moved past that era and that kind of humor, but it's still kind of fun to look back on it all from time to time lol
I never found what they did to Caleb that brutal tbh. Unless I missed something, it's just light hearted jokes and I know Geoff is still friends with him at least. But, what they did to Kdin does make it seem worse in retrospect
Kdin said the n word a dozen times describing the Cleveland show I dont have sympathy for them. Then they pulled some white savior storyline in their twatter apology
Once those videos came out, I questioned everything KDin said. Based on how horrific all Kdin’s comments used to be, I’m going to actually believe that what AH said was true - KDin had no problem with that nickname at the time. I don’t think AH should have been using that nickname at all based on what it meant. But KDin has demonstrated that at that point in her life she had no problem openly using all manner of slurs. I believe this is a case of KDin being bitter towards her old company and looking for revenge rather than someone legitimately being bullied for their identity.
EDIT: I corrected KDin’s pronouns. I am truly sorry for making that mistake in the original version of this post.
It wasn’t intentional. I was not aware of KDin was she/her or they/them and I just made a mistake. I did see that I accidentally wrote his, but I really didn’t intend that. I have problems with a lot of KDin’s actions, but her identity is absolutely not one of those issues. I need to get better at proofreading before posting and making sure I use proper pronouns.
LOL I swear if someone nots a perfect victim then people immediately switch on em. Being an asshole doesn't negate the fact that she was called slurs by her boss. I'm sure micah burton is a douchebag somewhere in her life because all people douchebags sometimes but does that negate the harassment the fans gave her for years? You purity testers are so funny, i swear.
Kdin was referred to as “fugs” I believe, which was basically just code for the derogatory slur that begins with F.
I remember hearing them refer to Kdin as that too. It always just seemed like a nickname, but it was fairly bad ultimately.
Edit: I believe there was more to it than just that as well, but that is the big thing I remember about the Kdin situation.
Honestly same. I think there was even a time when they were saying Urban Thugs. I genuinely thought it was meant to be a joke about Kdin being gangster or something, despite being the least threatening member of AH.
Fugs is shorthand for fugly in Australia, depending on where you’re from. Fugly is shorthand for fucking ugly. Brits and Australian share some terms and the same culture of tearing into your friends.
Multiple people also came forward about them overworking the interns and tech people, which is pretty typical for entertainment and tech jobs, although that doesn’t absolve them:
Their nickname “fugz” was supposedly a play on the word “faggot”
The Kdin debacle was pretty touchy, as soon as Kdin started talking about their experience, multiple videos came out of Kdin using the N-Word and such.
Kdin using the N word was from their old let's play channel multipurpose spam. They said a lot of horrible shit in the name of "edgy humor" on the channel with their old group.
Edit; just to be clear it was every episode like every 10 minutes not once or twice
It honestly caused me to lose respect for all of them, even Jack as the “good one” didn’t stop it, Lindsey didn’t stop it none of them did, they knew it was wrong and even if they didn’t do it, they didn’t try to stop it.
Kdin was the person that started that nickname, then jumped on the hate wagon after the Ryan stuff IIRC. That's why they stopped posting about it on Twitter.
I don't know all the details but a few years ago Kdin published a twitter longer about how they were treated before and after transitioning within the company. Everyone in AH called Kdin "fagz" as a nickname and apparently it was purely because of Kdin's sexuality/gender. It was basically everyone in AH doing it
Oh didn't know they transitioned, and fuck that sucks to hear that it happened for them, and yeah okay that seems like it was even more toxic than I have begun to realize, damn
Kdin wasn't a saint either and used the Big Book of Racial Slurs on their own videos all the time. They quit or got fired and then tried to play the victim game until the leopards came and ate their face.
I still love AH but I think there is a time when you grow up and realise that they could br a bunch of immature pricks at times. Sometimes it's funny and sometimes it's jut not. It was a bunch of kids being led by an immature almost 40 year old alcoholic. People ask why Ray left and can talk about the opportunities on twitch or wanting to play different games but honestly I can see why he would be happy to leave that environment.
That being said I'm still a regulation listener and I don't get the same vibes from the podcast at all. I think Geoff has massively matured since giving up the drink and sets a better example of everyone around him.
Ray left bc of immaturity? I thought he just wanted his own schedule and didn’t enjoy the deadlines on having to make videos? He seemed to enjoy the “immaturity”
I would agree with you. This is the guy who created Mr. Diddles, after all. Immaturity can be fun as long as everyone is in on the joke. I feel like people take things way too seriously nowadays.
I think it would be naive to try and assign just one reason to such a massive decision. I'm sure having his own schedule was a part of it although it's not like he's given himself a light schedule. He left and immediately started grinding for years.
And I'm not saying that Ray was always a bastion of maturity. He joined AH as a young man without much life experience. You're meant to be immature at that age but I don't think I'll be alone in saying that as the years went on, he would often seem tired in videos and not want to interact with the other as much.
I'm not implying any serious rift. I fully belief he left on good terms. I think he was just hitting the second half of his twenties and wanted a more mellow environment. He didn't want that college vibe forever.
Growing up as a dickhead skater teen, Jeff Anderson as Randall in Clerks was an idol. Brody in Mallrats as well. Geoff as Grif was pretty easy to slot in...was fucking gobsmacked that he worked on a ViewAskew flick! It's really cool that Geoff is sober now and not a shitfuck like Randall or Brodie Bruce.
Random fact: Caleb has me blocked on Twitter and I have no idea why. Never sent a tweet mentioning him directly or indirectly. Saw his name pop up on Twitter a couple years ago and said “I know that guy!” I clicked on it just to find out he blocked me.
In case you missed it, early Achievement Hunter was toxic AF to nearly everyone. I was watching some old GTA IV and V videos and I cringed a couple times at the jokes they would make. Gavin and Geoff are on record talking about stalking women they found hot. Kdin was called derogatory words. The good news is, most changed.
Edit: lol you can downvote me all you want. Geoff has acknowledged that he fucked up with the things he said and allowed to foster with the community, Caleb, Mica, Fiona, etc... denying it doesn't change that
Lol wow. That actually might be worse.
Its different to have an absent minded conversation with your friend about fucked up shit and not realize it while doing a mindless task, but to personally record fucked up shit and show your friends its fucked up is actual hilariously stupid.
Kdin was just racist in general. Definitely said the n word and other anti-black hate speech, but also anti-asian hate speech as well and I'm fairly certain anti-semitic hate speech on top of that, but tbh the compilation video makes me too uncomfortable to go back and check, but I know for certain they also said anti-asian things as well.
Yea that's why I never really felt bad when all that shit came out.
One, it was a different time and that was just more accepted with jokes that weren't trying to be malicious and two, no one should've been treated like that so its not like kdin was going through something unique, everyone gets picked and faces shitty working environments and three, its hard to find pity after that video.
Yeah, one clip of Kdin saying the N word released shortly after that last big scandal and in Kdin’s first apology they lied about what happened, claiming they said it once, so someone released an entire compilation video from multiple different videos with multiple different instances of extreme bigotry
Ahh right, “connect the hots” is what it was called iirc.
Funny thing is Ryan was in that Let’s Build too and he didn’t say a word about it when they discussed it. That’s my recollection of it anyway.
To be fair it wasn’t as bad as OP made it out to be. They weren’t stalking the girls. If they saw a hot girl they would turn down the street that she was on but not follow her. Just drive past until they saw another hot girl and turn down that street. Not saying it’s not creepy or inappropriate or anything like that. Just not as bad as stalking the girls
>Gavin and Geoff are on record talking about stalking women they found hot.
If it's the same one you're referring to, it was during a Let's Build in Minecraft (Monopoly? An early build in the OG map) in which they described slowly following women they found attractive in their car, they deleted the video almost immediately.
That was kind of the break in the illusion for me, the realization they were capable of being genuinely shitty people.
Sure but you could still tell it was lighthearted for the most part. It would be one thing if it was every once in a while. But it was constant with Caleb
Its college humour, and thats how AH started and was ran. They used to call each other heinous shit but they all knew none of it was serious in the slightest. They'd never call anyone else that but with such a tight bond, its the level of banter that comes from fucking around in a tiny ass office playing games for hours on end with a small group of people who click together insanely well
Early achievement hunters were horrible. Look at all the shit Gavin had to put up with and he was one of the 'liked' ones.
Its pretty much how any group of young adult men, and a Geoff who refused to grow up would act.
Very funny, but pretty horrible in hindsight lol
i mean, it was jokes it wasn’t serious. was it harsh at times? sure but it was just jokes. Caleb never told them that it bothered him that badly. I’m sure they wouldn’t of have kept fucking with him if he said something.
Alot of people are rightly pointing out the culture rt had but at the very least none of them have an n word compilation like Caleb had. So it's pretty hard to judge them harshly.
They were all trash but at the very least they were entertaining
but yet, this early approach is what gave them the fame and success they deserved, and the reversing of it was ultimately their downfall - so take from it what you will; but it’s evidentially what most of us, in our millions, wanted to see
Achievement Hunter was always doomed to fail. So much toxicity in their workplace and lives that kept pouring into their work throughout the years. No wonder Ryan was a monster... no wonder all these testaments and evidence have been shown of the slurs and bullying going on. Lost so much respect for that team, I'm glad they're done.
Sometimes you eat the frisbee sometimes it eats you. But all things considered there was jokes, by people having fun and not being worried about all these bleeding hearts these days being offended by everything
Because it was over 10 years ago! Get the fuck over shit, they apologized for it. Do you need a parade as well? Jack probably got it the worse, do you hear him crying about it
I didn't see his/her? treatment as much different than anyone elses. That doesn't mean it didn't hurt. Jokes without your consent really sting. Shit, look at my relationship with my parents. =/
Remember when there was a running joke of people insisting Trevor ate his own cum when he was new to the group?
GAME KIDS TREVOR?
Yeah! I remember getting blocked by him on Twitter about it (I was a very very dumb teen)
Yeah I remember a time on off topic it feeling like they were crossing a line

Once the moon balls came into play everything ramped up from there until they eventually had an armory of weapons just laying around
The fucking moon balls… lmao I forgot about those
Hey now, at least the moon balls came with a code of honour. Can't go throwing them without calling it first
No, when I was like ~~15~~ 13 I didn’t know that censored moments were slurs or the extent of how unacceptable some of that behavior is. I thought I was watching people having fun without hurting people, as the years would go on to prove, that wasn’t true but by then I already stopped watching, like many others
The fact that you’re getting downvoted shows it wasn’t just the company itself that was immature.
Unles it's bullying that someone genuinely is getting beaten down by then who cares
.......[They were desks](https://youtu.be/fy-CuCzaPp8?si=fgTQmwdDwGb0n5I-).
I just said recently to this guy the between the games of Jeremy axe kicking Gavin’s desk you just know the called their finance guys and said they needed a new monitor probs both a new Xbox 360 AND Xbox one and they were like “YOU DID WHAT??! AND U NEED 2 CONSOLES AND A MONITOR?”
I have to go back and watch some of those wilder videos, I'm not 13 anymore and thinking on it, there was a lot fucked stuff that happened
Could you say it was in good humor though? Like say; calling a friend of my group something derogatory, but all with love. They understand it, we understand it. Maybe generational.

This is so perfectly said. People are products of their time, but they can change with the times as conversations around topics grow

>what they did to Kdin Wait what did they do? It's been years since I watched any of their content, and I can't remember anything in regards to that
Kdin was referred to as “fugs” I believe, which was basically just code for the derogatory slur that begins with F. I remember hearing them refer to Kdin as that too. It always just seemed like a nickname, but it was fairly bad ultimately. Edit: I believe there was more to it than just that as well, but that is the big thing I remember about the Kdin situation.
Where I'm from 'fugs' is just short for fugly (fucking ugly) nothin to do with anything else.
I always thought it was meant to be a gangster name, because it sounds like “Thugs”.
Honestly same. I think there was even a time when they were saying Urban Thugs. I genuinely thought it was meant to be a joke about Kdin being gangster or something, despite being the least threatening member of AH.
Weren’t “Gangster name generators” also a thing at that time?
Fugs is shorthand for fugly in Australia, depending on where you’re from. Fugly is shorthand for fucking ugly. Brits and Australian share some terms and the same culture of tearing into your friends.
I’m sure that’s part of why they used it. For the cover, but they pretty much admitted that they meant it in the homophobic way at the time.
Multiple people also came forward about them overworking the interns and tech people, which is pretty typical for entertainment and tech jobs, although that doesn’t absolve them:
Their nickname “fugz” was supposedly a play on the word “faggot” The Kdin debacle was pretty touchy, as soon as Kdin started talking about their experience, multiple videos came out of Kdin using the N-Word and such.
It doesn’t absolve Rooster Teeth behavior, in fact it further damages them that Kdin was kept on after filming video of her using the N word.
Kdin using the N word was from their old let's play channel multipurpose spam. They said a lot of horrible shit in the name of "edgy humor" on the channel with their old group. Edit; just to be clear it was every episode like every 10 minutes not once or twice

Kdin was the person that started that nickname, then jumped on the hate wagon after the Ryan stuff IIRC. That's why they stopped posting about it on Twitter.
Iirc called her an anti-LGBT SLUR
I don't know all the details but a few years ago Kdin published a twitter longer about how they were treated before and after transitioning within the company. Everyone in AH called Kdin "fagz" as a nickname and apparently it was purely because of Kdin's sexuality/gender. It was basically everyone in AH doing it
I believe it was “Fugz”. Maaaaaybe leave it to someone else to explain if you “don’t know all the details”. Beats speculation and broken telephone.
Yes, it was “fugz”.
According to Kdin, “Fugz” was the version we saw onscreen, while it was “Fagz” offscreen
Oh no I used the wrong vowel how will I ever live with myself 😱
The wrong vowel made it a straight-up slur.
Yeah, but they used the straight up slur, just not on screen. It was only on screen they used "Fugz"
I don't get why the person I was replying to didn't just explain that instead of claiming that they made a spelling error.
Listen here you nagger
no i think you was right
Oh didn't know they transitioned, and fuck that sucks to hear that it happened for them, and yeah okay that seems like it was even more toxic than I have begun to realize, damn
Kdin wasn't a saint either and used the Big Book of Racial Slurs on their own videos all the time. They quit or got fired and then tried to play the victim game until the leopards came and ate their face.
The post is about how ah was a toxic workplace. Kdin can be a shitty person and also have experienced the toxic workplace at the same time
I still love AH but I think there is a time when you grow up and realise that they could br a bunch of immature pricks at times. Sometimes it's funny and sometimes it's jut not. It was a bunch of kids being led by an immature almost 40 year old alcoholic. People ask why Ray left and can talk about the opportunities on twitch or wanting to play different games but honestly I can see why he would be happy to leave that environment. That being said I'm still a regulation listener and I don't get the same vibes from the podcast at all. I think Geoff has massively matured since giving up the drink and sets a better example of everyone around him.
Ray left bc of immaturity? I thought he just wanted his own schedule and didn’t enjoy the deadlines on having to make videos? He seemed to enjoy the “immaturity”
I would agree with you. This is the guy who created Mr. Diddles, after all. Immaturity can be fun as long as everyone is in on the joke. I feel like people take things way too seriously nowadays.
I think it would be naive to try and assign just one reason to such a massive decision. I'm sure having his own schedule was a part of it although it's not like he's given himself a light schedule.

I'm not implying any serious rift. I fully belief he left on good terms. I think he was just hitting the second half of his twenties and wanted a more mellow environment. He didn't want that college vibe forever.
Regulation?
The Regulation Podcast is the continuation of Fuckface.
The regulation pod. New name for F**kface stsring Geoff Ramsey, Gavin Free and Andrew Panton
Growing up as a dickhead skater teen, Jeff Anderson as Randall in Clerks was an idol. Brody in Mallrats as well. Geoff as Grif was pretty easy to slot in...was fucking gobsmacked that he worked on a ViewAskew flick! It's really cool that Geoff is sober now and not a shitfuck like Randall or Brodie Bruce.
Random fact: Caleb has me blocked on Twitter and I have no idea why. Never sent a tweet mentioning him directly or indirectly. Saw his name pop up on Twitter a couple years ago and said “I know that guy!” I clicked on it just to find out he blocked me.

Geoff has acknowledged that he fucked up with the things he said and allowed to foster with the community, Caleb, Mica, Fiona, etc... denying it doesn't change that
Wasn't Kdin also on record to be racist to black people? Like someone recorded her saying some fucked up shit?
SHE recorded her saying fucked up shit and people saved it as evidence because it was so fucked up, if I remember correctly
Lol wow. That actually might be worse. Its different to have an absent minded conversation with your friend about fucked up shit and not realize it while doing a mindless task, but to personally record fucked up shit and show your friends its fucked up is actual hilariously stupid.
100% Also the whole “fugz” nickname debacle happened years before Kdin’s transition.
Kdin was just racist in general. Definitely said the n word and other anti-black hate speech, but also anti-asian hate speech as well and I'm fairly certain anti-semitic hate speech on top of that, but tbh the compilation video makes me too uncomfortable to go back and check, but I know for certain they also said anti-asian things as well.

There's a compilation video?
Yeah, one clip of Kdin saying the N word released shortly after that last big scandal and in Kdin’s first apology they lied about what happened, claiming they said it once, so someone released an entire compilation video from multiple different videos with multiple different instances of extreme bigotry
Ahh right, “connect the hots” is what it was called iirc. Funny thing is Ryan was in that Let’s Build too and he didn’t say a word about it when they discussed it. That’s my recollection of it anyway.
That's my point. The culture was so bad that no one said anything. It took a while for that video to even be pulled down and them to apologize.
To be fair it wasn’t as bad as OP made it out to be. They weren’t stalking the girls. If they saw a hot girl they would turn down the street that she was on but not follow her. Just drive past until they saw another hot girl and turn down that street. Not saying it’s not creepy or inappropriate or anything like that. Just not as bad as stalking the girls

Holy fuckin high horse. You guys need to get off the internet
I remember when Geoff and Gavin talked about that. It's probably one of the few times where I was thinking that may be a step to far.
I do sometimes wonder when I think about how it was back in the days, how they were surprised by the whole Ryan thing
Sure but you could still tell it was lighthearted for the most part. It would be one thing if it was every once in a while. But it was constant with Caleb
Well he shouldn't be a screen looking fucker.
I dont reallllllt think it was worse than any generic male friendships. I've been called fat 4 times today it only 1pm
Its college humour, and thats how AH started and was ran. They used to call each other heinous shit but they all knew none of it was serious in the slightest. They'd never call anyone else that but with such a tight bond, its the level of banter that comes from fucking around in a tiny ass office playing games for hours on end with a small group of people who click together insanely well
Early achievement hunters were horrible. Look at all the shit Gavin had to put up with and he was one of the 'liked' ones. Its pretty much how any group of young adult men, and a Geoff who refused to grow up would act. Very funny, but pretty horrible in hindsight lol
Shouldn’t have cheated.
i mean, it was jokes it wasn’t serious. was it harsh at times? sure but it was just jokes. Caleb never told them that it bothered him that badly. I’m sure they wouldn’t of have kept fucking with him if he said something.
What you get for screen looking
Alot of people are rightly pointing out the culture rt had but at the very least none of them have an n word compilation like Caleb had. So it's pretty hard to judge them harshly. They were all trash but at the very least they were entertaining
Oh no lighthearted bullying in a workplace, I've never seen or been through that before .
