iconic halo<\/em>-inspired web series Red vs. blue<\/em> idol online content company Rooster Teeth<\/span> on the map. Over a decade later it’s branched out into gaming Let’s Plays, reality TV shows, and even anime, but it’s also increasingly the subject of over an internal frat boy culture and toxic working conditions. Over the weekend, Rooster Teeth veteran ex-staffer Kdin Jenzen accused the company of overworking her, underpaying her, and fostering an environment in which she was repeatedly called a homophobic slur.<\/p>\n

Jenzen, who worked at Rooster Teeth from 2013 to July 2022, said the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned content company pushed her to crunch for 16-hour workdays while paying her barely more than $40,000 a year. In addition to providing few opportunities to spend more time on camera and take on more leadership responsibilities at the company, she said that shortly after starting at the company she was given the nickname \u201cF*gg*t,\u201d which was referenced as \u201cFugz \u201d when appearing on-screen. Jenzen came out as transgender in 2016, and she said only then was the nickname discontinued.<\/p>\n
