It's only been a day and people are already nitpicking the new clip from Justice League x RWBY, Part Two. SYTOkun made an edited version of the clip where Blake and Yang are removed. And yet he has the gall to say that his clip is better than the original one.

Why do people think he's a RWBY fan?

All he does is insult the show, insult bumbleby, insult the fans, and promote videos romanticizing abusive male characters like Jacques Schnee!

Do people not get it? RWDE are not fans of RWBY, they're haters in every way, shape and form.

You folks have every right to block these people.

Especially considering his friends compared bumbleby winning a sapphic poll to 9/11, and stalked/harassed a girl on twitter for enjoying RWBY.

Hello! I'm not sure how this works, but I'd like to present my project to be shared here. It's not a zine or single work, but a community project called RWBY: Cherish, a fanmade reboot/reimagining of the show as a collaborative effort from the fandom. We mostly work through Discord and YouTube, and currently have almost 200 members on the server, with voice actors, writers and artists all volunteering to make this happen! How would you sort this sort of fan project out! Thank you for answering!

As long as it’s RWBY inspired, it is welcomed! Please tag us so we can share your work! And it’s considered a RWBY fan project.

I actually really liked that Adam was forced to join Cinder. Not only does it paint a picture of Cinder’s power and control, but it portrays Adam as quite principled and shows his more honorable side, as skewed as it is. I also like the possibility that he might betray Cinder later or even cooperate with team RWBY to take her down, since Blake is there.

After today’s episode, I gained respect for Adam. His loyalty to the White Fang members made me like him more as a character.

What in God's holy name is toxic positivity and how did it get so popular?

Alright, let's start first with the idea of comedy...and shit comedians.

Here is kinda where it first started.

Racism, Misogyny, transphobia, anti-semitism, homophobia.

Those jokes just aren't funny!

And yet the comedians love to complain that people cannot take a joke when their idea of a joke is so awful and rude.

Rather than admit they're wrong, easier for the hateful people to claim its not their fault, and that their audience is awful. Do you know what I call criticism? I call it being helpful in offering feedback on improvement while also being respectful.

Unfortunately, that's not how critics operate.

They go more along the lines of

Or

So basically, the grand majority of critics, such as fatmanfalling, judgmental critter, twiins iink, and of course the RWDE Community.

They just want to hate, or at least corrupt RWBY into their fetishized image.

But they can't allow others to see what they're doing as being bad.

They can't allow people to see that they truly hate a show and its writers...they want to be seen as victims.

Its easier to get people to hate what you hate, if you claim to be a victim of the show and its fandom.

So the critics demand the right of criticism over all us.

It does not matter how nasty and deceitful their words are. "Freedom of speech and opinion". Even if they're being hateful and dishonest, the claim that they're being oppressed by others who cannot take criticism is very catchy on social media.

And that's the core belief behind the accusations of toxic positivity.

The belief that no matter how nasty or lying you are, you are within your rights to do so, and the people opposing you for such beliefs are trying to silence you because you cannot take criticism or different opinions.

Unfortunately, due to so many youtubers willing to defend the worst haters in the show, and promote hate against men and women defending the show?

It is sadly far easier to hate the show and the fandom based on the rampant misinformation.

its why hbomberguy made a 2.5 hour video of lies. Anyone who does 10 minutes of google search will see that Harris was lying the whole time.

But would you rather spend 10 minutes trying to find truth? Or would you rather watch some bald british dude ranting and hating for 2.5 hours?

Most people prefer to hate. You do not see people making videos defending RWBY, though they are there. You do not see people making videos defending legend of korra. You do not see people making videos defending She-Hulk.

No , you only see videos hating them. And the moment people who like all of those shows stand up, the youtubers immediately call upon their followers and demand harassment of the defenders.

"Monty's vision"....You can look to Monty's Tweets as to what he said about RWBY...but not a single RWBY Critic aka RWDE will EVER bring up those quotes... They'd much rather put words in a dead man's mouth, similar to how Christians love to do so with their prophet. Both dead men were very progressive, yet the "vision" people will never respect that

At the end of the day, these are the critics.

They have this religious hatred towards rwby and its fnadom

Clearly the RWDE community can't be at fault, right?

As TheFloofArtist was putting it.

Imagine making gore and snuff art to hate on women?

Imagine making edits targeting LGBT Women?

Denying that what one does is hateful or malicious, claiming to be a victim.

Its a lot like how Bullies in the school system shame people for standing up against them, and teachers punish not the bullies, oh no, but the bullies' victims.

And this sadly, is the problem.

Toxic positivity...is basically a term used by people who hate on a show and its fandom...as a means of defense against those who disagree with them, and as an intended tool of validation of their hate.

For Gods Sake, RWBY is a cartoon!

Can we stop acting as if RWBY is some crime against humanity just because the villains are straight white males and the protagonists are LGBT-coded females?

SYTOkun harasses CRWBY in Twitter Post, CRWBY responds

CRWBY’s response:

QRTs to Sytokun’s harassment:

Responses to Laura Yates’ tweet answer Sytokun’s harassment of her and her colleagues.

As you might expect, other RWBY Critics are quiet or defending this hate(r).

I cannot support any Rewrites from a man like him who uses his platform to harass the show and its writing team, while claiming to love Monty or RWBY.

@sir-adamus​ thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Regarding the whole black Sun thing I think your criticism is kind of bad especially when it comes to you saying find me a black Sun shipper that's blank is also really bad you shouldn't actually categorize All Blacks on shippers as bad because if you're going to go with that argument I can give you loads of evidence on my Twitter Tumblr Facebook Etc showing how god-awful Bumblebee shippers are from death threats to people calling me homophobic telling me that kill myself Etc. Bb shippers too

Let me present exhibit A

Blacksun shipper harassing Kiersi Burkhart.

Exhibit B

Blacksun shippers harassing Bumbleby fans

Exhibit C

RWBY Rewriters hating on Bumbleby and its fans.

Exhibit C part 2

I rest my case.

The blacksun shippers are a toxic community who harass RWBY Fans, CRWBY, and repeatedly speak ill of the show.

Bumbleby fans may not be perfect, may have flaws, but are ultimately far less toxic and problematic than the Blacksun shippers who take advantage of every opportunity to hate on RWBY.

Further example of the toxic blacksun community attacking CRWBY

Hey what are your thoughts on Qrow being Ruby's father in the fanmade RWBY:Remnants?

Let's present a scenario.

There are two people who support this theory.

Theorist 1: I acknowledge that Qrow is NOT Ruby's father, but I still like AUs that could present such a theory.

Theorist 2: I still think that Qrow is Ruby's father, and that CRWBY are lying to us. If they're not, its bad writing on their end.

To give a better example of Theorist 2:

Fanfiction , fanart, fancomics...many are created due to desiring AU.

But you have to acknowledge that AU is separate from Canon, and that Canon is the main source.

I have a number of friends who LIKE the qrow is ruby's father theory. Here's why we're friends. They don't insult CRWBY, simply like the ideas as a "What-If".

And I respect them for that.

Here's the problem with RWBY:Remnants.

They don't respect Monty or the writers.

I cannot respect AU projects that insult the writers/staff of a show.

I guess the saying can be "respect the headcanon, hate the headcanoner".

With Projects like these, the issue is that the bad elements are stuck together.

Its like criticism, really. There's good criticism of RWBY out there.

Problem is , that criticism is good-faith criticism.

And its buried under bad-faith criticism.

Does that help?
