JJ's argument doesn't entirely support Shane's letter, he quit and wasn't replaced. When he talks about people being mistreated that can be construed in so many ways. Hell even the autograph signing could easily be a communication's mistake (considering he basically cut off the company they could very well have notified him and assumed he would out of love for the show).

As for the pay dispute, Rooster Teeth is under no obligation to go above and beyond paying the people who work for them more than what their wage is. JJ had very little in the way of spoken lines for most of the season, often only one or two words along with a few full sentences (look up the math, I don't feel like getting it).

My opinion on the matter remains as............There was a reddit thread https://www.reddit.com/r/roosterteeth/comments/4j20kc/shane_newville_an_open_letter_to_all_who/d333bki here. This basically sums up my views on Shane's letter. Only thing I'm not sure about is Sheena, but at the same time, Rooster Teeth was and is under little to no obligation to hire Sheena, RWBY is their property and has been. At the same time being grief stricken and at a loss of the love of your life. Not the best state to have someone go "HEY YOU SHOULD WORK HERE, IN YOUR HUSBAND'S OFFICE AND LIKE I CAN SHOW YOU OFF ON TOURS." (Exaggeration but Shane's letter paints a picture of a lot of his hero worship moving to Sheena.

I feel like that'a a jumbled mess but it accurately portrays my feelings on this entire matter.
