Controversy in the Rooster Teeth fandom instead centers around the behavior and actions of the Rooster Teeth employees. Several major incidents between the fandom and the company have occurred, including Portal House/Connect the Hots and Cards Against Humanity. Both incidents are documented and discussed extensively on the blog Feminist Roosterteeth. The AH Trigger Warning Archive exists to help fans avoid content like that which sparked these incidents.
