RDCWorld Biography
RDCWorld, short for Real Dreamers Change the World, is an American collective of online video creators based in Texas. The group was founded by Mark Phillips and Affiong Harris, and includes members Leland Manigo, Desmond Johnson, Benjamin Skinner, Dylan Patel, and Johnathon Newton. RDCWorld is recognized for its YouTube comedy videos centered on anime, sports, video games, internet memes, and popular culture. The collective began with two childhood friends in Waco, Texas, and expanded through school and professional connections, focusing on collaborative storytelling rooted in shared interests such as anime, hip-hop, and basketball.
RDCWorld launched its YouTube channel, RDCworld1, to promote a manga series titled "The Resistance," before evolving into a prominent comedy group known for skits, short films, anime parodies—including the "Anime House" series—gaming content, sports reactions, and satirical commentary on pop culture and daily life. Videos such as "When People Take Anime Too Far" contributed to their rise in digital entertainment, showcasing their comedic timing and relatability.
Mark Phillips, often regarded as the face of RDCWorld, co-founded the group with Affiong Harris, with Leland Manigo and other members joining over time. The team’s writing process involves group brainstorming sessions focused on current memes, pop culture events, and news, enabling rapid production for series like "Anime House" and sports parodies. The RDCworld1 YouTube channel has accumulated more than 1.85 billion video views and over 7.24 million subscribers, establishing RDCWorld as a significant presence in digital entertainment. The group’s reach has led to partnerships with brands such as Under Armour for the "Let Them Talk" campaign and a collaboration with streetwear brand Hypland for a Dragon Ball collection. RDCWorld has also worked with the National Football League for flag football events and has been recognized by public figures including J. Cole and LeBron James, who have appeared in or been referenced in their content.
In addition to their YouTube achievements, RDCWorld founded Dream Con, a multi-genre convention for anime and video gaming communities. Dream Con has grown into a major cultural event, bringing together fans of gaming, anime, sports, film, music, and pop culture, while promoting inclusivity and amplifying underrepresented voices. The fifth annual Dream Con drew nearly 20,000 attendees to Austin, Texas, with major brand partners such as MTN DEW participating. The convention has also become a live entertainment destination, hosting events like a Creator League Basketball tournament. RDCWorld’s projects extend beyond digital content, with Phillips developing an original anime and manga series titled "Dark Lights," produced with the involvement of Black creatives including Issa Rae and Michael B. Jordan. The collective has received the Streamy Award for Comedy in consecutive years and earned the Best Variety Streamer honor at the Streamer Awards, highlighting their influence in comedy, anime, gaming, and pop culture entertainment.
