If the story is ass, then yeah no one is going to care about the downtime between characters. That's not the animators fault. That's MKEK's fault. But the rwby fandom will never admit that

[the-path-to-redemption]

I know you hate canon Yang but do you think she and Mercury could at one point bond over having been messed up by a parent that made them base their worth on their strength?

....Long Post Ahead

Anon let me tell you-

I fucking hate that people now believe Adam was Yang's foil because the writers fucked up. No, he's not. He's Blake's foil; they share the same story, and the same past, and everything about them was supposed to be linked together down to their fairy tale allusion. Whatever came out of making him and Yang rivals are bullshit ass-pulls.

Mercury was designed to be her foil; he has a grey monotone color palette and a very low-key, cyberpunk-esque fashion while Yang is in a warm-tone, bright-colored palette with a steampunk style that sets her out from others visually. She's mostly a boxer, while he's focused on kick-based combat. Mercury doesn't have a semblance and has to rely on his own skills, and Yang relies TOO much on hers and it becomes her double-edged sword.

Mercury has a terrible father and no mother, suffering alone in a home that took everything from him and forced him to kill. Yang might not have Raven, but she has a loving family who cares for her even when they're not perfect. Everything about them was set up to be a narrative of two people who could very easily become the other had the circumstances of their lives been different, but their actions had also led them to this point and they have to take control of their future now that a new chapter begin.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, should have changed this aside from the fact that MK and CRWBY are fucking stupid enough to make Yang wedge into a narrative that she DOES not give a fuck about even though she supposedly cares about Blake and her causes, but never fucking does anything for the Faunus or even talk to Blake about her goals for them. It muddles their characters (Yang, Blake, Mercury, and Adam) because now the writers have to make dumbass fucking reasons for Yang and Adam to fight each other when Mercury and Blake are right fucking there.

I made a post about this subject before here and the same sentiment still stands. I fucking hate it here.

Some of ya’ll be changin’ sides really quick once anything related with RWBY comes out and thats how RT manages to survive even when workplace abuse has been reported and they expect people to retweet or quote retweet the pain they have been going through. But nah. y’all want “hIgH qUaLiTY rWbY cUz iT’s bEtTer tHaN aNiMe” instead of supporting the pain of a an animator whowanted to further their career only to be abused to the point of having PTSD, Depression, or even worse. What I’m trying to say is.... 

STOP SIMPING FOR ROOSTER TEETHS CORPO-ASSES AND START SUPPORTING THE ABUSED ANIMATORS AND WORKERS WHO WANT TO SEE RT FALL.

Do not let CRWBY deter you.

The current FNDM situation involving Volume 9 Episode 6 needs no introduction, by now, y'all know what happened and how pissed most everyone is in the following episode at recent character actions. Who can blame them?

But after scouring some RWBY-related forums and channels, I have to say that I'm almost not surprised by how disheartened everyone is rather than enraged. Well, there are folks who are angry, but what really shocks me is how everyone is more sad and disappointed rather than pissed off.

Anyway, with my point being made, let's cut straight into it: Don't let RWBY's latest controversy deter you from criticizing this show. And to any fanfic writers, fan-artists or general content creators who still write RWBY fanfiction, don't let the events of this episode or CRWBY's "planned from the start" mantra make you feel bad. 

That's exactly what they want to make themselves feel like they're being smart about this to flex on us, the beleaguered critics of this show.

Perhaps then, this isn't the right sub for this kind of rallying cry. But rather, the kind of post to motivate creators of fan content who have been burned out, and it seems like the Wasps and other toxic elements of the FNDM have won.

We should not let CRWBY win either. They got the last laugh in deciding the events to canonize a controversial ship, but we should resist their efforts to dominate the FNDM discussion as we have more power than them, we can still write our own fanfics, our own alternate universes, rewrites, whatever else.

Do not let CRWBY's idiocy deter you. They started this shipping war, and the only way to resist that is to let them know that you will ship whoever you please, however if fits within YOUR narrative. Not Rooster Teeth's. If you give in, then Miles, Kerry, Eddy and Kiersi wins.

Arryn Zech wins.

Barbara Dunkelman wins.

Where they've successfully demoralized you. You have more creativity than those braying jackasses ever will. Continue writing fanfiction. Continue drawing art. Do not let CRWBY deter you.

Crwby: Yang is finally acting like a sister to Ruby are you happy now?

Fans: But its only in the stupid crossover movie

Crwby: Yeah, so we can prioritize putting more bumbleby scenes in vol 10 w/o you guys bitching about Yang's "sisterly relationship." #greenlightvol10forthebees

I don't know who the OP is of these texts but it really doesn't matter. What made me wanna share these from reddit was that:

CRWBY will 100% see things like this - RWBY fans coming up with excuses and reasons for [this] and [that] to make sense, and will totally yoink it and pretend they thought of it first.

"Yeah, that was totally our entire point for [this] and [that], guys. Please do not fact-check us and don't think too hard about how it probably makes no sense in the grand scheme. This was our meta plan this entire time, we did not steal this excuse from a fan, we swear."

Which is where I think CRWBY is. They just find fan theories and excuses they come up with and just roll with it. They're not even thinking hard enough anymore, they just look to fans to defend them.

Nora better watch her back

[lunatriense]

Weiss

Weiss is my no. 2, even if she's been mishandled (especially with her early racism) and had her plots go nowhere. I identify with her in a lot of ways, I love her determination and caring (underneath the ice, of course), and I always like a graceful, elegant fighter. I also tend to like tsunderes and snarky characters, so there's that lmao.

Her early designs (Beacon and Snowpea) and the one from the mobile game that only ever released in China were great, and her v4-6 design was pretty good too imo, but I hate her giant pretzel braid and her recent design is just so cumbersome looking.

I feel like out of Team RWBY Weiss has had the most development, but that she's almost been a passive observer to much of it. Like, she changed early on of her own accord, and even up through v4, but since then her plotlines just happen around her without her really doing much, which is frustrating. She gets kidnapped by Raven and has to be rescued by Yang (with a very sweet reunion!) but their relationship doesn't go anywhere. She gets to Atlas and apologises about a mine, but never really confronts the SDC's continued misdeeds. When Jacques is finally dealt with, Weiss isn't the one who does it, not really; Willow is, handing Weiss all the evidence she needs out of nowhere. When RWBY and Ironwood clash, she simply goes along rather than trying to bridge the gap with the man who'd defended her when she had no allies and had seemingly tried to murder a socialite. Whitley uses the SDC ships to try and evacuate the Mantlites, not Weiss. Most of this taken on its own could be okay, but together it just leaves a sour taste in my mouth, and then the latest stuff they did with her in v9 even moreso. I will never, ever, ever get behind Weiss having any interest in Jaune after the way he harassed her in v1-2. That's such a toxic and disgusting message to put in a show, but what else should I expect out of CRWBY I suppose?

Want my opinion on a character? Ask me!

[grayskyzephyr]

To be fair, people can change over the course of 10 years. The writers of crwby? Not so much.

People defending anything problematic in the early RWBY seasons:

[grayskyzephyr]

I wanted to make this its own post and add some stuff.

Miles and Kerry are the reason Rwby went to shit and Rwby stans refuse to acknowledge it because they see these two white men as their gods. They even go out of their way to downplay Monty's part in his own creation by reducing him as "the animator who does cool fights," while giving majority of the credit to these two wackadoos.

They don't want to admit they prefer Miles and Kerry's version of rwby, because they also have to admit it's no longer Monty's work post vol 3 and on top of that, Miles and Kerry's version of "Rwby" sucks ass. Thats why they're hellbent on the "Monty planned everything since the beginning and Miles and Kerry totally knows his vision" while at the same minimize Monty as the creator in the same breath.

This is also why they are terrified of Dillion buying the rights to rwby when they found out Shane works with him and is close friends with him. They spent years slandering Shane as nothing more than a "bitter and disgruntled ex employee" when he released his letter because they don't want to believe their "besties," their "fam," they're "little meow meows" in crwby could possibly be terrible people. I mean, why would anyone ever lie about themselves on the internet guys??? /S

They purposefully "forgot" about the abuse scandals that were exposed once again just two years ago and are thanking Rooster Teeth for the fond memories. They're thanking the people they saw on that live stream because thats all who they care about. The animator who had to endure crunch time with little to no pay, who found out through twitter they no longer have an job? Who cares about them? They're a nobody. Miles and Kerry are not nobodies, they're celebrities on Youtube and in RT. That's who the rwby stans truly care about.

[the-path-to-redemption]

This day can't can't getting better because according to the leaks Vacuo was going to be a colonized nation!

And you know what else? The writers were going to make the "oppressors" be wrong and bad because they don't like they fact they are being colonized.

Now I'm not to sure if this was the finalized storyboard but if it was......may they all burn in hell. Cause wft is this shit!!!!

Pretty sure stans will eat this story arc up and trying to justify why colonizers were actually good people who had good intention when colonization brings nothing but pain and trauma

Oh fuck me, they're gonna colonize Vacuous again...what the hellllllllll.

Yes, I said again because Vacuo WAS colonized. BY ATLAS. That was a canonical event that caused the Great War, and got Weiss' family to become fucking tycoons. The exploitation and colonization of Vacuo 80+ years ago was a crucial part of Atlas' domination in technology and Dust production, as well as the monopoly that the Schnee Dust Company controlled.

And let's be honest here, bby, was any of us surprised that CRWBY is planning to make an oppressed group the bad guys for not being nice enough to their oppressors?

You know, LIKE THEY DID WITH THE WHITE FANG AND THE FAUNUS.

Of course the stans would eat it up. They DID. On multiple occasions. That's why I'm glad that fucking bitch of a company is 8 levels of hell under.

[strykingback]

Lots of RWDE shit below do not read if you arent gonna get mad.

Y'know. its kind of funny when people just suddenly tell me that I'm worse than CRWBY because I have a job, that I need in order to survive. So how does that make me worse than them? Should I have to remind you that.

CRWBY is underneath Rooster Teeth. The same company that is:

Openly Transphobic

Racist as FUCK

Homophobic as shit

Abuses and never pays their animators

Also even when they said that they are "doing better" they really have not shown ANY bit of improvement at all.

Want Proof? Here ya go.

Posted April 11th, just Three days ago.

Posted on March 10th, 2023. One MONTH AGO.

It baffles me to no degree on how Rooster Teeth is STILL alive and on its feet, even after Kdin Jenzen dropped the PENULTIMATE NUKE OF NUKES. That would destroy RT. Some people would hella suck that RT dick for new stuff whenever they drop new RWBY stuff. because after RT-Nuke dropped. Guess what they released as "damage control." Fucking: RWBY Arrowfell!

Like really ya'll say you'll support animators who were abused and then suddenly flip switches as soon as anything RWBY comes out...instead of ignoring the plight of former ANIMATORS WHO SUFFERED FROM THE ABUSE OF ROOSTER TEETH. .

Also yeah, that meme was definitely perfection in my eyes since RT wanted to post it on an anime app and how some crazy RWBY stans wanna say: RWBY is better than anime. Really? Shut the Fuck up. I'm listening to Kizuna no Kiseki.

[grayskyzephyr]

Rwby fandom trying to gaslight themselves that Ascension wasnt suicide because they dont want to admit MKEK fucked up badly by saying "Ruby had to commit Canadian healthcare to realize she's a perfect Mary Sue who never makes mistakes. And even if she did make mistakes, she had good intentions and that's what matters. And the universe will bend over backwards to absolve her of any real consequences and anoint her as Remnant Jesus. In retrospect, Ruby overreacted in killing herself because there was no reason for her to feel guilty for screwing up so badly because she was always perfect. So the tree had to remind her she's perfect." 🙃

based off this lovely pic...

I will ask you all a similar question...

[blueskyportrait]

they delayed v9, put unnecessary strain on their animation team (which consists of 5 people, a shoelace and a broom) for a shitty crossover that did NOT needed to be developed in house alongside v9.... bro rt is such an incompetents company like its impressive how badly they run their company

and then there's Ar*yn Tr*che acting as defense speaking for everyone that the budget for vol 9 and the JL x rwby movies were separate. Just ignore the other animators who worked themselves to death on those two projects practically for FREE.

Its so unreal and unbelievable seeing in real time the mental gymnastics of rwby stans trying so hard to twist themselves into pretzels defending this garbage show and the people behind it. Because they don't want to feel bad for wanting vol 10 just so they can see the bees nuzzle their foreheads together and buy whatever brand new bee merch made from gum and cardboard from the RT store. Again, the higher ups of crwby are part of RT. Your besties are selfish egotistical people

Edit: I don't hate this show. I hate how it never got better throughout the years and MKEK keep repeating the same mistakes over and over because the stans blow smoke up their asses praising them for spray painting gold on a pile of horse shit. Rwby could have been good despite some flaws, but its not. And I'm tired of keeping my mouth shut about it

[lunatriense]

I don't know if you have been asked this before but what are your opinions on FRWBY? And fix-fics in general?

Many people say FRWBY is bad but I think it's pretty decent. What do you think?

I have no interest in FRWBY as several of the writer's positions are hugely hypocritical in ways that make it a non-starter for me. From what I hear from others though, it seems like they make many of the same mistakes as CRWBY and stick way too close to the show's story, with the changes they make not actually solving the problems it has.

Fix-it fics in general, however, are totally my jam provided they address at least some of my issues with the show.
