#fechter discourse

I wasn't quite sure how to answer this at first because I really do have a lot to say on the whole thing. I'll keep it short though. Yeah, that animatronics show wasn't great. That kind of thing seemed popular back then too, what with the original Pizza Time Theater portrait show having a confederate flag waving beside Jasper and some of Disney's animatronics work (though as far as I'm aware they were never egregious enough to wave the flag). It can't really be argued that it's a "times are different now" thing either since Fechter has voice acted one of the characters saying the uncensored n word and having a few segments of Billy Bob expressing support for Donald Trump. This is a repeat pattern for him.

I'm not in the business of diagnosing people, but I will agree that his behaviour is quite erratic and seemingly uncontrolled. Why that is is anyone's guess, but the consequences can be devastating, especially since he's known for sending his fans after those he disagrees with or those that disagree with him. This is a scary fandom sometimes.

of course!

Aaron Fechter is the creator of the Rock-afire Explosion animatronics! I’m very glad he made them and i do think he did at one point do some great things. But the person he is today and the way i’ve seen him treat people is just not in any way ok. He treats children and fans like garbage and does not care about them. he only cares about money. He is also a trump supporter. there’s a lot more to say about him but this is the short version. I’ve attached some screenshots below so you can see for yourself how he speaks to people. everyone who is blurred out is a minor. this is not a one time thing either. i had to stop watching his videos because they genuinely creep me out or he says weird stuff/ threatens people in the comments. He also supports/offers money for when his fans dox (find out the location of and threaten) anyone who publicly criticizes him. which is extremely scary. he does it to minors too he doesn’t care. overall just a really scary and bad dude.

I appreciate the info. I'm pretty familiar with how Mr. Fechter operates, but I was under the impression that he only takes down channels with custom shows.

I have a list of links to my favorite shows, and it looks like a few channels with a ton of footage got deleted. Channels like RockafireFan 123, Rockafirefan99, and Rockafire Explosion_fan have been deleted, and they all had a TON of footage.

This footage is practically historical! It should be archived in the interest of historical preservation, but instead Fechter is doing his damndest to make sure no one gets to see it. This is absolutely unacceptable.

Yes, this was quite sudden, and it's on a whole other level. This was legitimate footage of the Rock-afire, and now it's just gone! Downloading your favorite shows is practically essential at this point.

I could rant about it until the cows come home, and maybe I will one day. I've found out though that reporting on Fechter and/or opposing him to a noticeable degree is dangerous business. He has encouraged doxxing and has sent his mass of fans to harass people off the internet entirely.
