Sander Sides Writing

He’s stringing everyone along and using all monetary support to go clubbing every weekend.

He’s not working on anything else besides shorts and cheap quick content. Ever since the real writers left, he’s done nothing. That’s why nothing that he’s said he’s been working on ever got done. RSWR only got done because he wasn’t the writer, and from the looks of his recent post - he let that writer go.

He literally just wants to profit and party.

oh shit dude.....like fuck. we are fucked as a fandom huh?

like, I've seen his posts about comic con and stuff like that and the more you think about it the sadder it gets. I mean, had he actually written a whole script within six months when he made a post about starting filming?

i mean good God, we prolly aren't even getting this until the end of this year at the earliest (LIKE HE FUCKING PROMISED BTW), it's likely we aren't going to be getting any word of this until next year.

Not trying to include you in this or anything and ive made sure you cant see the name at all to avoid any harassment but like the lengths that people go to to defend him are INSANE 🥹 I didn't think it was truly this bad. I'm just using this as an example of it. I'm yellow heart person.

"alot of this is very contradictory" doesnt explain at all... then people mindlessly hearting it sighs

Ok bye

Which! It’s valid criticism! But defenders go “well, Thomas is human! You can’t expect him to be a content mill!”

Again! Fair rebuttal! However, the Finale Is Never Coming criticism is a symptom of the larger problem at hand. And the problem that I personally have with Thomas is that he has no regard in setting a clear path of communication nor boundaries.

There’s no communication with his fans or his patreon. And no. Insta stories that say “Editing! 🫶” And selfies with the caption “Filming 😻” are not communication, that’s stalling.

There’s no communication with the people he hires. Why are animations getting paid cents or not at all for their work. Why are employees learning their jobs are over via tweets and YouTube community posts. He doesn’t care about the staff he has, or about the freelance he employs and it’s shown through how he treats them, how they now have to dance around how they talk about their experiences online because they’re afraid of legal repercussions.

Thomas has cultivated a deeply parasocial bond with his fan base, one that he is exploiting for money, attention and defense, because you can’t even comment under his posts politely asking for a more in depth update without getting a victimized response from him or a fan rabidly clawing into their screen to protect their favorite Internet personality.

It’s over not compensating people properly for their work, especially since he is a fellow creative and that is hypocritical as shit.

It’s him putting at least 3 people on blast for saying stuff that’s neutral and not praising him to the high heavens. In which two of those people then apologized TO HIM.

It’s about people on patreon not getting what they paid for both from what Thomas hasn’t delivered content wise and the merch perks for being certain tiers that were never delivered on.

Stage two: taking advantage of employees

Oh no >:0

I'm not paying $2 to watch a "Real or Fake Candies" livestream ಠ⁠︵⁠ಠ

Thankfully, it looks like the number of people willing to pay for that crap is going down. 82.5% in the last three years, and 10.6% just in the past six months. Don’t worry though, he’s still making an estimated $550–$7K a month, plus another $6.2K–$98K from his YouTube channel...
