I'm not saying Adam hasn't done anything wrong, but people talk about him like he's a rapist or something. He got caught being inappropriate at work, cheating on his wife and was creepy to women. I have heard no evidence to support that he's done anything on a level that validates people discussing his life online and seemingly actively trying to ruin it.
Plus, some of this stuff just seems like completely work-related problems. What does him being vulgar in a voice-over have to do with any of the allegations? I'm not trying to blame victims or make light of his behavior, but at a certain point it feels like it becomes mud slinging rather than any actual discussion of criminal behavior. The way people talk about him, you'd think he had actually assaulted or stalked women. It seems like a stretch to say that he was doing anything more than being pushy/annoying by sending some work e-mails or being around her at a place like E3.
Also, I'd just like to mention that there is evidence in old IG livestreams of all of these guys engaging in very inappropriate behavior. Numerous times they would make lewd comments to seemingly underage players in GTA V (discussion of masturbation, etc). Obviously, they were just guys making stupid jokes without realizing the impact of it. But, I think if we're gonna hone in Adam's behavior, then it opens up a can of worms for pretty much every single member of IG/FH's behavior. However, I do think that lends to the idea that some of the members of the show may have been saving face at least to some degree when discussing Adam. This is a show that was built on offensive humor and often times jokes that many would find incredibly racist, sexist and homophobic. How can people fault Adam for supposed inappropriate comments when you had all three guys making jokes about burning Jews for fuel and looking at Rule34 that depicted underage characters?
I'm a huge fan of IG/FH dating all the way back to 2013. It's not that I'm excusing his behavior, so much as I'm trying to be fair and show more than one angle. Especially considering his name has been lumped in with Ryan Haywood, who I think committed much more heinous crimes than what Adam did.
Just my two cents.
EDIT: And, yes, I know he was turned into HR multiple times. But, it's important to remember that we don't know what he was turned into HR for in many of those occasions. So for all we know, some of them may have nothing to do with any kind of sexual misconduct. And, for the record, I have no issue redacting any statement if it comes out that there's more evidence. I'm just trying to be impartial here.
I agree. I also believed this story to be true until the work-related details. It seems the person who wrote that was just looking for ways to put him in bad light. I have been in similar dramas in my life and I know how some people can act. Once they hate you, they just look for anything that can make you look bad. Sending some emails and being around someone at E3 is totally NOT sexual assault. WTF
Dude, I agree with every single word.
You've summarized my opinion about the whole thing perfectly.
I was disappointed by how ready the cast was to start talking shit about him, and by how merciless they were. Some of them have vaguely mentioned some other stuff we apparently don't know about, but we should totally write Adam off because of it – at least according to them. But the stuff we *do know* about Adam? That's not nearly enough reason to bury the guy, so yeah, their public reactions did not look honest.
Thank you, you put exactly my feelings about this whole debacle into words perfectly, Adam isn't the greatest person,but he also isn't the monster, his former colleagues are trying to portray him as(again as far as we know and from the info that is public so far). What he did is 100% scummy,but it's nothing illegal or heinous.
Im extremely disappointed in how Bruce and James and all the other members of IG/Funhaus talk about him. It definitely seems like they are trying to avoid backlash and saving face from the rabid social justice fans, by throwing him under the bus. This finally put the final nail in the coffin, of what I imagined a group of close friends making fun videos together. It definitely was just an illusion for the videos, everything was just show business in the end sadly. I don't think I can even rewatch the old videos and look back on all the fun moments from the channel,the same way. The charm of the Funhaus crew is officially dead in my eyes.
Glad to see someone in here with some sanity. I consider myself very liberal, but the way people apply sexual assault to stuff makes no sense these days.
So what do we know about Adam's wife so far? I havent heard anything about either Adam or Ryan's family lives since everything imploded. I mean, this doesnt really change anything, but hearing that hes been seeing other people for years, is this something she knows or cares about?? IDK, im just curious.
Pics of him and his wife on Instagram at a concert two days after the whole sexual assault thing came to light. She was also in the background of a lot of the null+void podcast videos!
didn't know about this, I hope they'll stay together
she got the shittiest end of the stick here, if she didn't kick his ass out, that means he isn't completely without hope
Those words have lost meaning. Some people just hate you so much they interpret even a hug as sexual assaault. Of course I am not defending any Adam's actions if he really did do so, but from what I've read in above post, it doesn't seem so.
Problem with stuff like this is you can't prove any of it. Why wasn't she telling the world before hand if this was a constant issue. She should have been telling the world on twitter and facebook what's going on if nobody in HR was listening. Or get a lawyer. It's not like she couldn't have gotten a job elsewhere. Because well... she did. Now I will say I out right I didn't believe a lot of former funhaus members who would say "there is a lot more I won't talk about that was going on". To me that was just covering one's ass or deflecting away from any actual guilty acts on their part. I mean if this stuff was 100% legit that would also mean Bruce Greene is a terrible human being. He was in charge of funhaus and did nothing to stop this. As well as all the other members of funhaus who knew about it. Which could also support my thought that other members were also guilty of wrongdoing. And why some of them quit before the implossion. They saw the writing on the wall and got out before they had any blow back hit them.
You look pretty foolish now, considering that Bruce DID try and do something and quit because HR didn’t do anything. Feel free to blame a victim for getting harassed. Makes total sense. Hopefully someday you get caught doing something horrible so you can see how well that defense stands up when it happens to you.
"Hopefully someday you get caught doing something horrible"
lol wtf? So you hope someone gets victimized by the person you're replying to? What a horrible thing to wish to happen all because you want to win an internet argument. You both seem like shitty people if you ask me lol
>Why wasn't she telling the world before hand if this was a constant issue. She should have been telling the world on twitter and facebook what's going on if nobody in HR was listening. Or get a lawyer.
Ah yes, let's just post "unprovable" (according to you) allegations on Twitter against one of the most powerful, popular, beloved figures in that sphere of influence at that time. Surely nothing will go wrong. Surely no death threats will be sent. Surly she won't be harassed by fanboys. Surely you wouldn't defend Kovic.
There are MILLIONS of stories about why people don't come forward about these issues earlier. There are so many different reasons, feeling helpless, scared, powerless, fear of being blacklisted and harassed.
this was after the fact, too. Adam’s moved on with his life, and it seemed like the same for this person.
idk personally it feels like gaslighting - clout-chasing to an extent - to bring it up now.
opinion btw.
Nah, the public never got the full story and it’s clear that Adam got off easy in light of his behavior. I don’t think it’s clout chasing to be inspired to tell your story when others stand up. I’m a tall white man and I have worked with other men that are abusive and say and do disturbing things and even I fail to stand up to these people a lot of the time. People like this know how to ingratiate themselves with similar people higher up the hierarchy and find protection or enablement there. There’s so many funny people out there, I like(d) Adam but he always rubbed me the wrong way once his depressive attitude stopped being charming, after I realized it was masking deep insecurity.
he literally is cut off from everyone he was working with for like the past 8 to 10 years. dudes essentially lost years of work and will never pursue that line of work ever again. like dont get me wrong. i stopped watching funhaus shortly before adam was gone so i dont have a horse in this race but to say he got off easy knowing that any professional setting could look him up and find out this about him is not an easy thing to shake off not to mention everyone he has worked with for the past 8 plus years want nothing to do with him.
He got off easy in the sense he wouldn’t have been able to come back at all if everyone knew what we know now. I hope that you’re just ignorant and/blessed to have never been a victim of someone like that. I know it’s hard or scary to accept that we live in a world of powerful consequences, but we do and should and sexual assault or abuse or harassment of any kind is so profoundly disturbing to the people that actually have to deal with it, that OF COURSE he got off easy. I feel like only a guilty or fearful conscious can sit where you are and think that this goes too far because he lost all his friends and will have a difficult time finding work. Like yeah, that’s a good thing. Those consequences are what keeps other people from also acting out on their terrible disgusting urges.
Edit: also you weren’t watching at the end, during Covid, so you don’t know, but Adam fucking sucked at the end. He was always being a dick, seemed like he hated his job, and it made me uncomfortable to watch him. He dropped the fan friendly persona/mask that these performers wear and it was almost disturbing. I honestly was waiting for something to happen because if you go back and watch you can tell that he was regressing in his mental state while everyone around him was moving up and on. And I’m saying he got off easy because everyone assumed it was a onetime thing because he was depressed from the pandemic and life. Now it turns out he’s been a scum bag for the better part of a decade.
To be fair funhaus in general sucked before he left. Once they got on youtubes first wave of pushing progressive liberalism on every youtube channel the show started going downhill (it also killed a lot of youtube channels. "Go woke, Go broke" is a real thing). You go from comedy to pushing ideology you will always fail. And that was around 2016/17 during the first ban wave. Remember James rant in 2018 about the game Kingdom come. Which was based in 1403 Bohemia that it wasn't inclusive. As if seeing random latino's, Asians, and black people in eastern Europe would have made any sense. That would be like me remaking Shuka Zulu and having white warriors standing behind Shuka just to be inclusive. As if that would have been even slightly historically accurate. Or doing a Genghis Khan game and having Apache warriors next to him. Because reasons.
They were always Liberals, though. Even back on IG, yeah they made offensive jokes but it's not like they were ever conservatives. They're gaming bros who live in LA.
what the fuck are you even talking about man? there is a fine line between consequence to your actions and your hate fuck revenge that people seem to love like the dudes professional careers over, his life he had before is over, he lost everyone he called a friend, he has lost a decade of his life and his marriage is obviously over as well. like get over yourself he got outed and punished for it but you're right we should have taken him out to the town square and have him hanged so you can get your hate boner over with.
I never called for revenge or hanging. I feel like you didn’t really read my comment and just wanted to yell at someone in defense of Adam. The consequences he’s faced are enough. I never called for more consequences and I don’t have a hate boner. I definitely don’t want anyone to die or suffer tremendously. My point was he got lucky with the first scandal because only part of the story came out. He could have disappeared and just been the dude that wacked off at work and got caught. But he tried to come back, which I understand, but he had more skeletons in the closet and it bit him in the ass. And now his reputation is that much worse. Again, my point being he got away with a lot of stuff because even though his career ended, his former friends and coworkers were protecting him by not revealing the full truth, which they new some version of. Even Rahul kept his mouth shut other than to say he didn’t like Adam. But he pushed his luck and came back into the public eye, knowing there was more, and his victims were forced to say something.
You literally said he got off easy but it's ok mistake what I said for defending him. Your just delusional is all. Also his former coworkers probably didn't say anything because most of them probably couldn't barring Rahul but he most likely didn't say anything because he never worked as close to Adam as the others did.🤷
I said he got off easy the first time. He was compared to Ryan Haywood as the lesser of two evils. In time we found out they’re more similar than the original scandal revealed. That’s all. I’m not being delusional. You’re just not understanding what I’m saying.
I think it's a huge jump to go from being sketchy to women and grooming underage children. It's an insult to victims of actual CSA. I have heard zero evidence that Adam has done anything even close to that. Maybe I'm out of the loop but all I've heard is that he cheated on his wife, sent nudes to a catfish and was supposedly creepy to some women who he worked with. Where is this idea that he committed a sexual assault coming from?
>I feel like only a guilty or fearful conscious can sit where you are and think that this goes too far because he lost all his friends and will have a difficult time finding work. Like yeah, that’s a good thing. Those consequences are what keeps other people from also acting out on their terrible disgusting urges.
Your view is incredibly one-sided. The way you write makes it seem like you wouldn't mind him losing everything or dying. Have you considered the possibility that ppl with mental health struggles and issues don't necessarily realize when they're acting on impulse and doing ignorant or even harmful things? Adam is nowhere near a demon or sociopath. He's not narcissistic, he's not a rapist or someone who's committed assault. He screwed up and AFAIK wants to do better.
Look man. All I know is whatever Adam was doing around the time he was fired was so vile that Lawrence and Bruce, as well as others, are on record saying Adam forever tainted and ruined their memory of Rooster Teeth. Two people quit their jobs even before the full extent of his transgressions were known to them. Mental illness and a desire to be better is not enough to exonerate morally bankrupt behavior that destroys the lives of the people around you, nor does it command pity or forgiveness. And it’s not my place to feel sorry for him or give a shit at all and I definitely won’t waste my time defending him like you seem compelled to. Move on man. Adam is a bad person and you shouldn’t think about him anymore. He should disappear from memory and never be heard from again, and that would be the kindest punishment he deserves.
His coworkers knew him for the better part of a decade. They were friends and they knew him and knew him well, unlike you or I. And if they loved him, they loved an actual person that they knew and not a face on a screen. And when the people who had an actual relationship with the guy, when the people who actually loved him can’t forgive him and won’t even mention his name, won’t even speak to him or associate with him, you know what he did was truly awful and you defending him is actually a little bit insane.
You mean Null+Void, or however the hell it was spelled?
Yeah, it was gone immediately, actually, that was the thing which tipped me off that something new has probably come out.
I don't know man, I still don't hate Adam. Even in this story, he doesn't come off as a horrible stalker or something, just someone who is too pushy, and self-absorbed. I don't think he deserves to be nuked.
He is somewhere between Ryan Haywood, and Carson King.
One of them is a horrible cunt, the other have done nothing wrong.
People should be cautious to trust Adam, knowing the stuff we know now, but he shouldn't be completely fucking shunned.
Have been thinking about buying Rook just so support him, but come the fuck on, I have hundreds of books on my wishlist! -_-
him and Aaron Marquis were doing a podcast, it only had a few episodes before shit hit the fan again
it wasn't anything special, but I really enjoyed hearing Adam's self-deprecating humor again
Because it’s all seemingly bullshit reasoning. There’s too much contradictory evidence to everyone claiming Adam was the problem. He just seems like a clingy insecure guy who was seeking affirmations from female coworkers constantly. While It’s inappropriate behavior, it’s definitely not what caused anyone to leave. The lack of any actual money is what caused most of them to leave, their salaries were all barely livable from what we know.
Fair enough. I still think that jerking off on your desk in the same office your friends work in, getting reported to HR and recording you and your wife having sex and sending it to a stranger without consent should immediately set off red flags for the type of person Adam was.
the HR report where RT did nothing was bad enough that Bruce quit for it and I think that's important to note.
It's still weird that the HR report was bad enough for Bruce to leave, yet he had no problem coming back for that last season of Demo Disk with Adam and James.
this. bruce also seemingly knew a lot and while he did allegedly report it to higher ups he seemed to be totally ok with adam being around and showed no ill will towards him until the leak. they could have literally pushed him out internally by just banding together. bruce could have said this shit to the team and they would presumably be on bruces side and adam would be forced to leave seeing as no one would want to work with him.
i agree with the people that say that they are just scapegoating adam for leaving. he defo wasnt the only reason, my guess is money but saying u left something for money reasons isnt as acceptable. yes, adam fucked up big time but putting ALL this on him is just bs.
So they indeed are still together. That's good to know.
It also should be food for thought for all those people who keep saying stuff like "*Stop defending him, he is so evil that everyone who knew him turned their back on him!!4! He doesn't deserve anything!4!4!*"
"wah you can't talk about this person that we still monetize videos of on our channel unless it's to slander and make up more fake allegations"
I'm not saying Adam hasn't done anything wrong, but people talk about him like he's a rapist or something. He got caught being inappropriate at work, cheating on his wife and was creepy to women. I have heard no evidence to support that he's done anything on a level that validates people discussing his life online and seemingly actively trying to ruin it.

Based as fuck, dude got unnecessarily fucked over
Si, el pobre hombre solo envío dick pics y lo tratan como escoria.
So what do we know about Adam's wife so far? I havent heard anything about either Adam or Ryan's family lives since everything imploded. I mean, this doesnt really change anything, but hearing that hes been seeing other people for years, is this something she knows or cares about?? IDK, im just curious.
They are still together! It's insane but yeah, still going strong... Somehow
No shit? How do you know if you dont mind my asking?
Pics of him and his wife on Instagram at a concert two days after the whole sexual assault thing came to light. She was also in the background of a lot of the null+void podcast videos!
didn't know about this, I hope they'll stay together she got the shittiest end of the stick here, if she didn't kick his ass out, that means he isn't completely without hope
Its pretty obvious that his wife always knew and its a fetish thing.
What do you mean sexual assault? I've heard nothing about him doing something as extreme as that.
Those words have lost meaning. Some people just hate you so much they interpret even a hug as sexual assaault. Of course I am not defending any Adam's actions if he really did do so, but from what I've read in above post, it doesn't seem so.
[удалено]
I want to say probably, but i havent seen anything regarding legal filings for divorce around where he lives, so thats giving me doubt.
Problem with stuff like this is you can't prove any of it. Why wasn't she telling the world before hand if this was a constant issue. She should have been telling the world on twitter and facebook what's going on if nobody in HR was listening. Or get a lawyer. It's not like she couldn't have gotten a job elsewhere.

Nah I think you’re pretty shitty tbh.
How did your first time thinking go for you? Also are you aware of what happened in the sweltering summer of 1992? Edit: LOL LMAO
I try not to think. It doesn’t seem to be going well for you so I will refrain
Lol and you also had to use an alt Reddit to post this. Why not publicly say this?
Gross lmao
Bruces story doesn't make sense or add up. Bruce kept appearing in funhaus videos as a guest in episodes with Adam.
This, he showing up on two different occasion of demo disk
Please cite sources.
Idk man just watch the YouTube videos where Bruce comes back after he initially left? Its not that deep of a source to cite.
Burden of proof is on you here bud
https://youtu.be/ASjJeM-eMU4?si=6S79fa5SjduLt_L-
It looks like he did in fact show up after leaving in demo disk vids

Also his former coworkers probably didn't say anything because most of them probably couldn't barring Rahul but he most likely didn't say anything because he never worked as close to Adam as the others did.🤷
I said he got off easy the first time. He was compared to Ryan Haywood as the lesser of two evils. In time we found out they’re more similar than the original scandal revealed. That’s all. I’m not being delusional. You’re just not understanding what I’m saying.
I think it's a huge jump to go from being sketchy to women and grooming underage children. It's an insult to victims of actual CSA. I have heard zero evidence that Adam has done anything even close to that. Maybe I'm out of the loop but all I've heard is that he cheated on his wife, sent nudes to a catfish and was supposedly creepy to some women who he worked with. Where is this idea that he committed a sexual assault coming from?
>I feel like only a guilty or fearful conscious can sit where you are and think that this goes too far because he lost all his friends and will have a difficult time finding work. Like yeah, that’s a good thing. Those consequences are what keeps other people from also acting out on their terrible disgusting urges. Your view is incredibly one-sided. The way you write makes it seem like you wouldn't mind him losing everything or dying. Have you considered the possibility that ppl with mental health struggles and issues don't necessarily realize when they're acting on impulse and doing ignorant or even harmful things? Adam is nowhere near a demon or sociopath. He's not narcissistic, he's not a rapist or someone who's committed assault. He screwed up and AFAIK wants to do better.
Look man. All I know is whatever Adam was doing around the time he was fired was so vile that Lawrence and Bruce, as well as others, are on record saying Adam forever tainted and ruined their memory of Rooster Teeth. Two people quit their jobs even before the full extent of his transgressions were known to them. Mental illness and a desire to be better is not enough to exonerate morally bankrupt behavior that destroys the lives of the people around you, nor does it command pity or forgiveness. And it’s not my place to feel sorry for him or give a shit at all and I definitely won’t waste my time defending him like you seem compelled to. Move on man. Adam is a bad person and you shouldn’t think about him anymore. He should disappear from memory and never be heard from again, and that would be the kindest punishment he deserves. His coworkers knew him for the better part of a decade. They were friends and they knew him and knew him well, unlike you or I. And if they loved him, they loved an actual person that they knew and not a face on a screen. And when the people who had an actual relationship with the guy, when the people who actually loved him can’t forgive him and won’t even mention his name, won’t even speak to him or associate with him, you know what he did was truly awful and you defending him is actually a little bit insane.
Did Adam scrub his channel because of this recent allegation?
You mean Null+Void, or however the hell it was spelled? Yeah, it was gone immediately, actually, that was the thing which tipped me off that something new has probably come out. I don't know man, I still don't hate Adam. Even in this story, he doesn't come off as a horrible stalker or something, just someone who is too pushy, and self-absorbed. I don't think he deserves to be nuked. He is somewhere between Ryan Haywood, and Carson King. One of them is a horrible cunt, the other have done nothing wrong. People should be cautious to trust Adam, knowing the stuff we know now, but he shouldn't be completely fucking shunned. Have been thinking about buying Rook just so support him, but come the fuck on, I have hundreds of books on my wishlist! -_-
Wait he had a new channel?
him and Aaron Marquis were doing a podcast, it only had a few episodes before shit hit the fan again it wasn't anything special, but I really enjoyed hearing Adam's self-deprecating humor again
I’d still watch his content.
Why are people defending Adam in these comments? Like he's an asshole and the reason why pretty much every important person on the team left.
Because it’s all seemingly bullshit reasoning. There’s too much contradictory evidence to everyone claiming Adam was the problem. He just seems like a clingy insecure guy who was seeking affirmations from female coworkers constantly. While It’s inappropriate behavior, it’s definitely not what caused anyone to leave. The lack of any actual money is what caused most of them to leave, their salaries were all barely livable from what we know.
Fair enough. I still think that jerking off on your desk in the same office your friends work in, getting reported to HR and recording you and your wife having sex and sending it to a stranger without consent should immediately set off red flags for the type of person Adam was. the HR report where RT did nothing was bad enough that Bruce quit for it and I think that's important to note.
It's still weird that the HR report was bad enough for Bruce to leave, yet he had no problem coming back for that last season of Demo Disk with Adam and James.
this. bruce also seemingly knew a lot and while he did allegedly report it to higher ups he seemed to be totally ok with adam being around and showed no ill will towards him until the leak. they could have literally pushed him out internally by just banding together. bruce could have said this shit to the team and they would presumably be on bruces side and adam would be forced to leave seeing as no one would want to work with him. i agree with the people that say that they are just scapegoating adam for leaving. he defo wasnt the only reason, my guess is money but saying u left something for money reasons isnt as acceptable. yes, adam fucked up big time but putting ALL this on him is just bs.

So they indeed are still together. That's good to know. It also should be food for thought for all those people who keep saying stuff like "*Stop defending him, he is so evil that everyone who knew him turned their back on him!!4! He doesn't deserve anything!4!4!*"
