The Glitch Productions Drama Situation Explained 

Glitch made an official response, watch my video on it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UNxl06w6qA8.html

OG voice actor: OK I’m mad, but please don’t attack the new one Fans: OK, will attack the new one

Glitch: “Great! People are after us .” Spindlehorse (especially Vivziepop): “First Time?”

“Can you stop being a bunch of Toxic Idiots, for Five Minutes!?”

"Forgetting" to tell someone they've been fired is shitty, but honestly that happens all the time in corporate. It's just that twitter loves drama which is why we even hear about it.

Can we PLEASE get some indie animation without drama?

If everyone boycotted an indie studio for drama, every single indie studio would go bankrupt, crippling the entertainment industry

i don’t know why i thought this was a helluva boss full moon sneak peak 💀💀💀

This stuff usually happens behind the scenes, there’s not enough security for indie animations. It’s ten times worse in big companies, trust me.

I’m unironically beginning to believe that Chernobyl even back in the 80s was still less toxic and dangerous than most indie animation fandoms nowadays

I was like "Ok, the person that caused all of this apologized, clearly stating it was their fault. Why is there still drama?" Then I remembered, it's Twitter.

Classic Twitter causing problems for everyone…

What sucks is that despite not being involved in the scandal, both Luke (SMG4 himself) and Lotty (New Tari) are being thrown under the bus when in reality its Kevin, the head CEO of both SMG4 and Glitch who needs to do the heavy lifting to set things right.

There goes TADC and Murder Drones. The series won't get affected, sure. The comments on the other hand, a wave of vindictive comments once this drama dies down. Once the internet finds out *someones* in the wrong, they become incredibly vindictive.

Wait... **THIS** is the drama? Tari's VA got replaced without notice and now everyone's on a witch hunt for the new VA? Mf with all the heat thrown around, I genuinely thought Luke and Kevin withdrew pay from their employees or got ousted as creeps in the workplace or smth. Are we _REALLY_ going to do this all over again? Sorry to be the one to tell you, guys. VAs get replaced all the damn time! Sure, them not telling the VA about being fired was scummy but you're all blowing it way outta proportion! They do this shit in Hollywood all the time and I don't see y'all trying to boycott a billion dollar studio until they file bankruptcy. It's just the Hazbin hotel VA drama all over again with an SMG4 coat of paint!!! Look, what they did was wrong, that's a fact. But the way everyone talked about it and actively trying to boycott GLITCH for it was totally uncalled for. I'm fully willing to let this slide as a hiccup, this was a one time occurrence, they fucked up, they'll do better. And I hope you all do too since if we keep trying to publically fuck over every single indie animation studio over the smallest dirt we have on them, we'll eventually see every single one of them go bankrupt and be forced to watch Disney slop for $30 per month for the rest of our lives as "entertainment". Is that a reality you want to be in? Cause I sure as hell ain't! We have a good thing here with GLITCH releasing *_free episodes,_* absolutely motherfucking free for anyone to enjoy on RU-vid. If I see any of those lovely shows getting canned over something as stupid as Twitter getting mad over a VA getting replaced, so help me God! This is a private matter, and should be settled privately between GLITCH (Kevin Lerdwichagul) and the VA. The only instance where we should stick our noses into this is when Kevin either never gives a response or the victim actively asks for help from the community. The most important part of this bs is that NOBODY, nobody innocent should get involved in the cancel culture crossfire which Twitter loves so much. Luke and the new VA has nothing to do with this and harassing them will do nothing. I swear, you all only do this shit because none of y'all have anything better to do in your damn lives than spit some venom at random famous people on Twitter TL:DR, don't start cancelling yet. Bring attention but don't harass or boycott anyone until we see the full picture. Don't do a Reddit and falsely accuse someone to the point of driving them to the literal edge. Not everything is as simple as you think, business bs is complicated as fuck and should be treated as such.

My mom lost her job like this and nobody was boycotting the company. The only person you should be mad at is the VA Director.

I love how people acted like Viv was the only one in the Indy animation space involved in drama. This shit is so stupid. Just make your shit and profit. Stop creating drama

I really hope all of this gets sorted out, some of my favourite indie animation shows are made by Glitch and i dont want to see their hard worked get destroyed because of poor management of staff. I hope the best for Tari's old VA as well.

I'm feeling very disappointed in glitch at the moment. I really hope this isn't something that happens again, because I really like their vibe as an indie studio and want to see them succeed while treating their creative forces with dignity

Twitter is a horrible place, but you cant even lie it cooks the best nothingburgers around

Honestly this whole “drama” feels more like a bruh moment Maybe I’m just numb to internet drama or I’m just biased but regardless I don’t think this will effect Glitch in a major way They’ve had drama on a similar scale to this before (ie: character redesigns, TADC content farms/boycotting, UTTP hoaxes)

I'm sorry but boycotting over a stupid ass drama is so freaking stupid yes glitch is in the wrong but boycotting is just dumb oh and I feel like the people who bring up past things related with glitch or dramas are just people trying to look away to hate on glitch it always happens like that

(Glitch productions gets in trouble for bad working conditions) Rooster teeth:”first time?”

I hope everyone is able to move past all of this drama.

oh wow, management needs to get their shit together soon, or they will risk tanking the reputation of not only themselves but the talents too.

I grew up watching SMG4, and matured watching Meta Runner and their other shows. This really hurts to hear.

all this drama over a voice actor being replaced is insane and shows how people well get pressed easily ☠️

Nah that voice director needs to resign. "Oopsie I forget to tell one of our voice actors she was fired please forgive me" THAT'S IN INSANE LEVEL OF UNPROFESSIONAL EVEN FROM AN INDIE COMPANY

So a miscommunication between a company and an employee spawns into an entire ordeal that can be solved easily by just saying “we have made a mistake and we are sorry” but no twitter has to twitter (im not saying glitch isn’t at fault here but I still feel like this is being blown a bit out of proportion”

What’s with indie animation creators and controversy/drama. SpindleHorse/Vivziepop Tracy J. Butler Bandit Mill/Charlie G. and now Glitch

I hope something is done like a formal statement by glitch or privatly because i do not want glitch to fall as a result of this, I enjoy their projects and work and love them to continue it.

indie animation trying to not get drama challange (0% win rate)

Classic nothing-drama

Damn, poor Luke is getting dragged under because basically Kevin and other managements going on fucking over animators and now VAs. It was bound to happen, when you get big, control starts to dwindle..

Good exaple of why you not only i form people BEFORE replacing them, but make it clear you might. However, voice acting usually is a project to project pay field, in this better called video to video. So, she did kind of asume that she would be kept on to continue to voice the character. However, if she WAS told she was going to continue to vouce the character, that is not a lawful termination. Moral of the story: make sure you have a clear and concise contract for voicing a character, inform people they are let go or not being brough back, and AKWAYS repspond to former employees when they are asking for an explination.

Please no... GP's videos are one of the things I really look forward to the most. I dont want another corrupt company screwing themselves over.

First viv then lackadaisy then glitch lmao whos next ?

Seriously? Now Glitch Productions is having drama too? Also that guy in the thumbnail is smiling just like Pomni. Creepy.🤦🏻‍♀️😬

Oh how the mighty has fallen. I remember watching SMG4 when I was young. Luke was the main person who ran the main channel, but now I think Kevin is now in charge. He might have legally taken over Glitch.

"I forgor to tell her" Is such a stupid reason for the VA to not know she was being replaced that I'd actually believe it.

4:59 It sounds like what happened based on the info was an accident. She is human. People forget, and we don't know how busy things are over there that could cause that

Honestly I understand why Tari’s VA was replaced. But come on the new VA doesn’t sound bad it’s really identical to the OG TBH. I love Tari and the OG will be better but it’s like with Angel Dust in HH. Plus the OG one voiced the Meta Runner Tari and I think she served her time with the SMG4 crew/Glitch. Poor Tari getting the drama, like dame.

Whilst I absolutely do like Murder Drones and TADC... The Fact that Glitch Productions have scooped so Low to Replace A VA without her Knowledge is not A good look and I do hope that they rectify this poorly, Bad, mishandled situation I wanna respect em, I really do... But if this keeps happening... Yikes... At least I know Liam Vickers and Gooseworx will hopefully do their Shows without any more problems

Well, let's see if Glitch doesn't do the "Nintendo thing" : Ignore all the polemicas and controversies until they start affecting their income

I think this is happening due to glitch taking on to many shows at once, if they had just worked on Murder drones, finished it, then worked on TADC after murder drones was done, none of this would have happened, or atleast it would less damaging

The drama is blown out of proportion, but it wouldn’t have happened at all if Glitch had payed attention to their own staff

I hope these are a series of genuine mistakes and not actual malicious decisions. I just want a studio/creator(s) to be NOT problematic for once. I’m so tired of shit getting ruined like this due to poor decisions and controversy. And I hope Glitch is smart enough to actually own up to this stuff eventually. I really don’t want another Viv situation please

As a long smg4 fan I didn't even realize Tari was recast and I'm not angry about the recast

Man, reading the RU-vid comments compared to Twitter, y’all are saints over here. Actually talking about the situation like mature individuals.

Yeah they screwed up but boycotting the shows they make? That’s a little extreme. Like don’t get me wrong they messed up, but I don’t think boycotting is a solution

Glad more popular people are covering the drama. Thanks for sharing the issue! Subbed!

Glitch Productions: Guys, I can explain Vivziepop: You’re only JUST getting into big drama? I’ve been breathing drama since birth! Tracy Butler: I only just got into drama myself in the last year! Sr Pelo and Alfabusa: You’re getting into dramas?!

not even at the 2nd episode of tadc and they’re canceled 💀💀

He apologized, let’s stop now?

I thought It was something big lol, well It is bad to not notify someone before you replace them but is something easy to fix between them

That whole thing honestly affected me mentally, and I’m having a crisis about it. Glitch is one of my idols, they gave me a dream of being an indie animated creator, and seeing their true colors hurts me, but I am taking it with a grain of salt since they haven't responded yet. I'm so glad I get to enjoy my pizza from Pizza Hut this Saturday after all my exhaustion all week.

I really hope everything will go back to normal I love glitch especially smg4 that channel helped me smile during dark times

Anime America is no better than glitch resigning via twitter post

To others who think they know how this works. Here in Australia we allow this kind of thing under that act that was legislated in 2009 (it was called Fair work Act 2009). Where Employers are allowed to do this kind of thing. So other Australian companies can do this not just Glitch.

POV: your a genuine good person who gets dragged into drama over your company being bad-

it’s like this kind of drama happens every/every few months at this point

Tari's VA: fired without any annoucements or anything Murder drones: Gets forgotten, and probably the next 2 episodes will be the FINAL FINAL episodes of the entire series TADC: Got views, got money, It's GLITCH's new gold mine

I get all of my indie news from u and I rlly appreciate it, keep up the great stuff ayy 🖤🔥🔥🔥

Glitch: Agh, please, just end me alreadyyyyy Spindle horse: You’ll get used to it

I can already hear the UTTP cheering 😒 I think this whole thing is stupid. Sure, it’s shitty that Glitch forgot or whatever and that’s certainly not okay, but this thing happens with EVERY company. I know that this situation most likely is going to clear up soon peacefully. I hope none of Glitch’s shows are going to be affected because of this.

What honestly infuriates me with people saying it’s ‘nothing’ is that there is concrete proof to Glitch Productions being a shitty company to its workers. Like, you can’t just sweep the mistreatment of workers and cast under the rug all because they made the traumatized clown show.

“…For five minutes. Can we not have indie animations drama FOR FIVE MINUTES!?”

I wanna be shocked, but as a musical theater fan I saw this happen on a way fucking worse level with a certain Musical known as Bad Cinderella. . . Oddly enough while a single apology of forgetfulness isn't truly enough I can understand it with an indie company as long as it doesn't become repetitive. Just don't let it become the whole cast learning they were fired like with Bad Cinderella especially.

I wonder what Celeste did for her to be cut off so visioucly. It's hard to imagine it was without reason.

Honestly I’m surprised it took this like for us all to be an agreement about SMG4. I have found the series was going downhill anyway but this is much worse. Don’t get me wrong. Celeste is busy and I get why they wanted a VA to voice Tari full time but they could’ve at least told her about the replacement. It just came out of nowhere for her. And no wonder why they don’t talk about many of their other shows anymore because most of the people who worked on them quit

I mean I understand why ppl are angry but like it’s like that sort of drama of dahr mann with firing good voice actors. Tbf I just let Glitch and SMG4 handle their situation and wait til they tell us.

I take the og VA s side here although glitch is still my favorite animation studio by FAR although the mishandling of staff and the fact there was no reason to fire her makes me feel bad because they clearly wanted her fired.

Honestly this is nowhere near as bad as Transformers Prime was VA wise. It's partially why Peter Cullen isn't voicing Optimus for TV shows anymore, a character had to die in that show because no VA was getting paid and nobody could replace him when letting him go had to be done. Peter and every VA called it a horrifying nightmare and none of Twitter would survive that realization. (That is why Breakdown died by the way, rip Knockout's husband.) Also how bad is it that I don't follow social media enough to notice these things happen?

I'm scared because of the title

And to think that this came out after glitch announced there new season for the amazing digital circus

Muppet: This apology will not go down well Everyone: Yeah, NO SHIT

There's so much "controversy" happening nowadays that i can't take any of it seriously anymore

Why do all the fucking things I like end up having drama, fnaf helluva boss/hazbin, TADC Jesus Christ

Yknow, I've always hated Kevin. Ever since he started becoming overly involved with his brother's main channel, I could tell something was up. Good to see I was justified in thinking that.

*Company fucks over their workers* Luke who has nothing to do with this: Internet: Luke how could you!?

How does a Voice Director forget to tell a voice actor they are being replaced? I thought Voice Directors are supposed to direct the voice talents.

Great. One of my favorite YT animation channels is under controversy. Just what I needed to hear after I just tested positive for COVID.

I used to watch SMG4's SM64 bloopers when I was 14 lmao.

Like I said on Twitter, I’m fine either with waiting longer for a response from Glitch, because a rushed response that makes them look worse isn’t what I want.

0:05, what was that sound in the background?

If I had a nickel for every indie series I know of that had drama, I’d have 3 nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened thrice.

Yeah, its really shitty to not tell someone they're fired, but honestly, I feel like its just an accident. Sure, some accidents are more impactful than others (ie: "I tripped and broke a glass" is not the same as "I lost my credit card") but, shit happens. No human is perfect, and the people in charge are humans too

Never thought I would hear any drama coming out of SMG4

I mean Celeste also voices tari in Glitches first ever series Meta runner .So they have a long history together which makes this controversy saddening

I miss the old SM64... the good old times...

I never even knew this was going on.

Bro I found this and thought it wasn't recent

I don't think it's glitch because glitch hasn't been credited since 2021

How often do l make jokes about chemistry? Periodically.

honestly, I wouldn't even be suprised if this all happened cause discord or whatever messaging app they used messed up and her messages were delayed or something. I've literally had that exact thing happen to me and it just about got me demoted if it weren't for me being able to prove to my boss I wasn't late with the stores cameras.

Don't take this as a definitive opinion since we don't have enough info to be sure about everything, but I think I can forgive Glitch for this. Yes, they're to blame, but if we believe what they're saying, it was the voice director's fault, and she apologized. She didn't try to make excuses, she admitted her wrongs and apologized. We are only human, we can all make mistakes, and all we can do is learn to not repeat them. So to me it's fine, I can forgive her. I guess there's the question if it was truly her, but that's another can of worms and we don't have enough info on that.

Two options. Be understandably upset, and talk to them privately to figure out what went down Be understandably upset, but instead, talk about it on twitter, which won't actually benefit you in anyway and you couldve used the time to reach out to them We all know what she chose.

NOOOO WHY SMG4... it sucks when one of your favorite youtubers gets into drama

Why are indie animation creators getting in to so much drama at least we still have lackadaisy

After hearing what taris old va said i think jasmine was forced to say this by kevin
