look I know this may sound wild but Twitter is never a good source for information, specially nowadays

Not saying it may have not happen but I really don’t trust Twitter unless the account you read was the one of actors themselves and not a third party. I believe it could happen but I won’t believe anyone

I think there’s serval reasons why n there’s so few RWBY newcomers nowadays and the fandom is so badly regarded

I won’t deny a lot of people will just hear the criticism and not watch the show, If someone asks why a show is good and someone else says it isn’t that person might base their first opinions on it… HOWEVER, we can’t deny RWBY is indeed flawed, a good group of people says the first three seasons are the worse but gets better latter on which… I don’t think watching three bad seasons for a show is worth it, there’s things in the show itself that can make people dislike the show like the racism plot line or animation in many moments

But I also think the fandom has scared a good chunk of people away, between the ship wars, the harrasment of people for their takes (the fact so many defenders use “that character won’t suck your dick, stop argumenting” as one of their first arguments is deplorable) the FNDM is too toxic for a show that can’t back it up

MLP, Minecraft, Pokemon and Steven universe didn’t just have BIG companies able to back up their works, but their works are also monumental in pop culture

MLP redefined fandom culture, Minecraft is one of the most sold games in history, Pokemon is THE franchise in all of the world, and Steven universe is undeniably the most progressive show of its time that walked so every show following that wanted to add Queer themes could run

RWBY is a very niche show that was part of the early YouTube wave of indie animation, but compared to it’s contemporary’s of the time (Animation vs Animator, Eddsworld, Madness combat. which have been going strong for a long time) has been falling more and more in the public eye and its current seasons don’t match the quality of other web shows

The show can’t afford to have a fandom that is so toxic and conflictive since at the end of the day the show depends solely on the fans at this point, yet has done nothing but make a “us vs them” narrative in both sides that makes it like any other toxic fandom but without a source material that is worth so much trouble

Not saying RWBY is bad but this fandom ain’t worth it and while you could say “just watch the show without interacting with the fandom”

RWBY depends on the fandom, I and everyone I know that discovered RWBY knows of it because of the fandom… and most dropped it or hate the fandom

I think RWBY needs a less toxic community to stay alive, but the FNDM instead of trying to mature, tried to erase the criticism because they can’t differentiate Criticism and toxicity, the thing that’s damaging RWBY isn’t criticism but the fandom itself preventing it from growing

When did those rape threat happen, not saying they might have not happen but when you say such a thing has happen please put a source because mentioning rape is by no means something you should do lightly without putting a source for it

Side note:that doesn’t diminish that the non-critic part of the fandom also harasses people for their different opinions, and I’m not implying the critic part doesn’t harass either. But both sides of the fandom are very conflictive and actively push both sides to fight creating a awful situation in which good opinions are caught in the crossfire and are out between those who say the threats like the ones you say.

Is not that there isn’t good critics but you rope them with the bad criticism and dismiss both

I think there’s serval reasons why n there’s so few RWBY newcomers nowadays and the fandom is so badly regarded

Alright, making Adam a psychopath who’s also a abuser and unarguably one of the evilest characters in RWBY…

And the show not having a character who’s just as evil but racist, a character team RWBY faces for being racist.

The problem is the fact Adam exists without anything to balance his character, the show fails to show any actual criticism to the system that makes people like Adam so the show basically paints activist as either people so naive they’ll let themselves get shot on the street or someone who’s so evil you can tell me they killed a pregnant woman and I’ll believe you

There’s no real criticsm to racism or the corrupt system, the show likes to say people like Jacques is right but if your show’s social commentary is “rich people bad” instead of explaining why they’re bad, how they hurt innocents, and how they are allowed to hurt innocents in the first place.

Then your show has the depth of a tweet

So the show expending six volumes saying how evil a guy from a formerly good group that fought racism is but spends like three episodes just groaning at rich people for being rich instead of explaining the shady ways rich people get rich which is the reason they should be hated

It makes the minority look like the bad guys, there’s no way to discuss this, for every example of racism in RWBY done by a privileged individual I can give five more examples of racism done by the white fang that is also infinitely worse

Cardin-school bullying | white fang-attacking a city with a kamikaze train attack to fill it with monsters

Weiss-saying racist slurs and derogatory comments | white fang-bombing a train with the passengers inside

A racist insulting a Faunus on the street to a stranger | the white fang is bombing a school again

The show fails to make a actual argument about prejudice, racism and such since the little racism we see from humans is completely thrown off the rail by white fang just being one couple of scenes away from calling Adam a word in German and doing certain salute

And the show does this without showing RWBY facing people who discriminate minorities instead of the other way around, at most they arrest Jacques for a reason completely unrelated to his crime against the Faunus and that one time Weiss put a racist in a garbage bin for being racist to Blake.

Compare this to RWBY having several episodes that are just the girls beating up the white fang

So no, RWBY doesn’t do racism well and neither does any proper criticism

can we stop doing this trope

“RT should hire a consultant on racism.”

No. No fucking way. 

First off, the people espousing the above are also the ones who say they are shit writers on the grounds they are guys, white and from texas. “Hire a consultant” actually means, “Take a bunch of people who our idealogy praises off the street and make them the writers.”

Secondly, why should they? Only time I’ve EVER seen people complain about the WHite Fang plotline being badly handled is from people have outed themselves as racists themselves and whose suggestions for improvement scream “VALIDATED MY IDEALOGY!” Everyone else seems perfectly fine with it. We know the writing for it could be better (as with everything) but no one but you seem to call it racist.

So why should they hire a consultant for a group of about 10 people (where 7 of whom have admitted to pirating the show)? Unless of course, YOU are gonna pay for it.

PS: Telling me to see [X media] doesn’t work if I can just ASK real people. So to anyone whose suffered racism and sees this: tell me how YOU think about the White Fang plotline.

One and a half correct theories out of three

New “the amazing digital circus” trailer, new theories

1-Jax seems to particularly hate the fast food place, maybe the theories of him remembering are true and he KNOWS this will suck. Or the players still have their memories DEEP down and this little familiar scenario triggered something within Jax, we know how the memories and character of the players can quickly change with a trigger (like Kinger) but the reason no one has regained memories yet is because Cain doesn’t know he can do this and all his adventures are too irreal to make a player completely regain their memories

2- Gangle’s mask looks different, is not just that she can have more than happy and sadness but the design is completely changed to show emotion showing a kind of emotional variation for once. We see Cain looking at a suggestion box, so he probably read a suggestion to upgrade Gangle’s mask and this could be said upgrade since we see her putting the mask on in what seems to be the circus, however Gangle’s mask may not be perfect for some weird ways gangle acts (but it could probably just be the scenes being out of context to look weird)

3-and finally, returning characters, we see the Gloink Queen which surprises Jax (probably because Cain hasn’t reused characters as quickly as now or because he doesn’t usually reuse villains as quickly)

Then we see Pomni going from 1 to 100, we later see what could be the continuation of this scene with her forcing herself to smile, and finally we see her seemingly sneaking on the floor curious to look at something…

We know this story will have repeated characters, so maybe she’ll see HIM again

Blake does mention they once were good, in the Adam trailer we are shown he was once good, and the sole concept of a victim of racism fighting against it with excessive violence HAS to show a character as something more than the villain

Adam did have a drastic change from “I don’t care how many have to die for our freedom” to “I want my cat girl!!!” With how he tells his lieutenant to let Blake go and how he refuses to work with Cinder. There was glimpses of him being more than meets the eye, even if that more doesn’t justify his prior actions.

But then Adam suddenly becomes the focus of a abuse plot line which in a bubble works, but the problem is how the plot line isn’t in a bubble but is actually intruding in the racism plot line that came before it

There was a genuine conflict there with shades of grey, but instead Adam never really takes off to be part of this conflict outside of being the face of the white fang

The system that oppresses the faunus is still there, Jacques might have died because of something that had nothing to do with Faunus, but that just means once dust settles someone else will take his place, and once that happens someone else like Adam will crawl out of the mines to grow into a monster that will take many lives until it inevitably falls because of its own weight into the cold water that is the bed of its predecessors corpse, until another victim crawls out of the mines.

What caused the problem hasn’t been fixed, the only difference between Adam and the meme is how Adam never really got to have a point beyond how racism is BAD, and the status quo wasn’t destroyed because of RWBY but because they’re literally going through the apocalypse, and if they survive they’ll try to go back to the old way it was

Technically we do since Kagami, Adrien and Felix are all similar situations

The problems are:

Most of this characters don’t have the two parental figures unlike Chloe in which both just sucked which is hinted at with Adrien but we still don’t know the two agreste acted

None of them deal with it in a good way. Felix did everything Chloe did tenth-fold, Kagami is now with Felix who is… not a good influence, and Adrien now idolizes his abuser and was unable to face him

Chloe is the only one who’s spoiled and enabled (and shown as a bad thing) while Kagami and Adrien are basically slaves… Felix gets spoiled and enabled to do actual crimes without the Hawkmoth excuse but he gets to go free

It all just comes off as hypocritical and mean spirited

So I watch the Total Drama fanmade series, Disventure Camp, and I think this line from the character Fiore summed up how Thomas was trying to write Chloe, but failed big time:

"I know from experience. We all have problems, Grett. My mother never loved me, and I know her life would be much better if I never existed. She's told me she thinks I'm a monster. I know she's right, but it still hurts to hear. But you know what? After a while, the hurt starts to hurt less. You start taking ownership of who you are."

Basically, it sounds like Thomas was trying to say "Yes, Chloe is obviously an abused victim, but she needs to learn to take ownership for her own fuck ups and get over it." Which would be an understandable and even a good lesson and redemption arc for Chloe to help her understand that her actions don't excuse her behavior and she can't use her abuse as a clutch to be an asshole. Of course, it would work if he didn't spend time bashing her 24/7.

I hope this isn't me coming off as victim blaming, and if so, I do apologize and wouldn't mind being corrected for my mistake.

P.S. Find the Avatar: The Last Airbender reference

The thing is that later seasons have been somewhat divorced from the idea that Chloe is the product of a troubled childhood. "Derision" had a scene specifically to call out people who claim her mother leaving her led to her becoming a bully, and "Collusion" completely ignored the part Andre played by spoiling his daughter rotten.

Even if the lesson was about how to deal with trauma, the show doesn't really give us an positive example of a character processing their trauma to contrast the negative way Chloe responds to hers.

Hey, would you happen to have the template of this meme?

EDIT : THIS IS A MEME DO NOT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY (and seriously just don’t be Rude????? Like wtf lol)

Ironic it says “sugar Marinette” when she actively chooses to lie to her boyfriend about how his Father was a super villain who tormented everyone, destroyed the world twice, put his life in danger a dozen times and actively beat him up after discovering his secret identity

And then makes him see him as a hero because Gabriel asked her to do it, she actively made him forgive and idolize his abuser to “don’t hurt him” when this will just make things worse when he finds out

"white man perpetuating cycle of abuse"
