#like SERIOUSLY. the bias against bad is INSANE. why do people think he's evil or something??? have you EVER watched him

[oddlyzephyrous]

people who obviously don't watch badboyhalo don't be insanely biased against him and refuse to give him the benefit of the doubt and always assume negative intent from his actions for one second challenge level IMPOSSIBLE.

just saw ppl saying "-10000 RP" and "i can't believe bbh ditched his team for the christmas event" like. dude. you obviously do not watch him and don't understand why he does anything he does and you have a bias against him so you read everything he does as negative. like.

1-really really wanted to do the christmas event but supported his whole team through the big event.

2-got on early so it makes sense for him to conserve time. He has faith in his team to survive and plans to get back on later.

3-WILL NOT STOP GUSHING ABOUT HOW PROUD HE IS OF HIS TEAM AND HOW COOL THEY ARE.

4-has established canon-plausible reasons that his character in QSMP and his character in Purgatory 2 both exist and that they share knowledge to a degree. 1/3 of qBBH, the more violent and brutal side, is in Purgatory. the other 2/3 is on Quesadilla. There are overlaps in their knowledge.

Like I get you guys don't know all of his lore but seriously. Maybe try not assuming every thing bbh does has negative intent. Just admit you don't like him and move on, stop trying to justify it with things you know nothing about.

Do you think that Islam and Christianity are equally bad?

Yes. I do think that they equally bad. I want to be precise about this. I do not believe all people of both (or all) religions are bad. I think the religions are bad for the reason that they come from a place of ignorance, yet claim unparalleled knowledge and they hold within them regressive and extremely immoral values.

I do differ with the opinion of Sam Harris, a well known writer and atheist proponent. Harris believes Islam to be especially heinous, where I believe that Islam as a religion is no more absurd and immoral than Christianity. Harris argues that the increased number of violent passages in the Quran make Islam more dangerous. I disagree, because Christianity has inspired uncountable numbers of deaths as well. There just isn’t a significant difference in their potential negative influence.

Sam Harris began his research into religion and Islam after 9/11. My personal opinion is that he is emotionally biased against Islam because of 9/11 and our war against terrorism in the middle east. Let me be clear that I do not take 9/11 lightly and my lack of bias toward Islam is not a defense of terrorist. Furthermore, to say Harris is biased in claiming Islam is worse than Christianity does not mean he is wrong about his criticisms of Islam.

I previously wrote a couple posts about how the Bible fails as a moral guide (Part 1 and Part 2). These are just small samples of parts of the Bible that show if the book were taken in its entirety and literally it would be beyond immoral. Truly, by today’s standards, we would consider it evil.

What about Islam?

Let’s look at some of that violence that Sam Harris talks about.

For example, if you read the second book (chapter?) of the Quran it is a long monologue of how much God hates non-believers and how they are to be attacked, driven out, and slain. Here are a couple of the more dramatic quotes:

“God is the enemy of nonbelievers” (2:98)

“The unbelievers are like beasts which, call out to them as one may, can hear nothing but a shout and a cry. Deaf, dumb, and blind, they understand nothing.” (2:172)

“How steadfastly they seek the Fire! This is because God has revealed the Book with truth; those that disagree about it are in extreme schism.” (2:176) “Slay them wherever you find them. Drive them out of the places which they drove you. Idolatry is worse than carnage.” (2:190)

And it goes on and on like that… There are similar verses in the Bible that call for the death of nonbelievers and call on you to kill them even if they are your family members. ( Deuteronomy 13:6-10) And in case you think Jesus disagreed then please read Matthew 5:17.

I could go on forever listing shocking scripture versus from both religions, but I want to end with a different point.

Why do these verses outweigh the good verses?

Imagine these books of scripture as people. Imagine that the verses within them represent their honest feelings and opinions and moral values. Imagine you met such a person and he (I’m using a male for a specific purpose here) has many good qualities, but sometimes says or does things that seriously disturb you.

Let’s say that he is extremely loving to his parents, he gives charitable donations, he helps his neighbors, he attends a place of faith regularly, and he never steals. Now let’s say he also sold his daughter to a man down the street, for real! He literally sold her for money to become the man’s wife. But that’s not all. They discovered that she’s had sex before, so he and the man down the street stone his daughter to death. And for good measure he stabbed someone recently for being an atheist and vowed to kill him if he did not leave the neighborhood or convert.

There is basis for all of these actions in the scripture. You would NEVER ignore the those crimes the man committed and call him a “good” person. That would be insane!

I’m simply treating the scripture (and therefore the religion) exactly the same way.

Missing The Point Entirely

(Points at a rock on the ground) this is your head (Points up at a cloud) That’s the point.

Cool Uncle.

Oh hey! Another way to make Qrow “I drink because EDGE, and I break rules all the time” Branwen seem ‘cool.’ Because that is totally something to teach to kids in you KID-FRIENDLY SPIN-OFF SHOW! - This was weak, and was actually kinda painful to sit through. Can’t wait to see how the fans try to use this skit as “proof” that Qrow is actually Ruby’s dad, though. - Maybe that will be fun.

Wow, I have never seen someone miss the point so entirely: The show is portraying Qrow as IRRESPONSIBLE for all of this, using Taiyang as a straight man and Butt Monkey in the joke. Seriously, you act like Taiyang wasn’t even there when his reactions ARE THE PUNCHLINE. No wonder you found it weak: You completely glossed over the funniest part of the skit. In fact, you don’t even MENTION Taiyang at all despite being integral to the skit. Jesus chirst: How do you fail at this level of not getting a joke? Oh right, you don’t understand that misery is important to comedy.

Clean Behind the Ears.

Whe… Where was the joke? Was the joke that Michael Sun decided to wake up Kerry Neptune JUST to tell him that he was going to the shower? - Is this an inside joke or something?

... And once again: the like completely flies over your head. THe joke is the upcoming misery of the Geist Grimm (Who I think was an excellent addition to the series but rather unutilized) . If you had added in SOMETHING about the Grimm then this could have been a valid critique. But since you completely disregard the punchline AGAIN, you just come across as bitching.

Cool Dad.

This was also painful. Mostly because the things that Qrow was saying made no sense. Also what he was doing. Is it normal for his nieces to watch him do some dives? - And does he wear that cape EVERYWHERE? - Though, personally, I think it would have been funnier if Coco had called Tai weird - If only for the gag of the voice actors.

... Okay, you judge an entire skit with several jokes in it... on the end...right after an iconic moment in RWBY Chibi...

Dudeblade, you suck at reviewing comedy. You ignore jokes entirely, ignore the punchline, cherry pick what is going on, are completely oblivious to how comedy is setup and focus on only the most miniute details: You are failing at these reviews. S either get good or shut up.

1.

Movie Night.

Okay, yeah. This got a laugh out of me. It’s enjoyable to poke fun at movies. Superhero movies are always about origin stories, romance stories typically have an idiot, etc, and etc. And then all the rest. Also, this is the reason why when I go out to a movie with my friend, we already know in advance what we’re going to watch.

Are you not gonna comment on how the movies they suggest are reflective of who they are (Pyrrha wants to see a romance with Jaune, Sun wants to see a cop movie ect.) or what about the subversions/parodies in the movies (like how when Jaune tries to “save” Pyrrha, he ends up failing completely or how about when Neptune lampshades the “wlaking away as something explodes” cliché and acts like a normal person when it happens: freaked the fuck out ect?) These are all jokes too and they are a part of the skit: Ergo, you need to review them. Once again: You fail, except you fail at being POSITIVE as well. Especially since you DIDN’T address everything so they don’t know if the parodies/character interactions where good or not.

2.

Wore it better.

… Oh I get it. Neo was inspired by a female Roman cosplayer, and here, Neo is the one cosplaying… I hope that that’s the joke, otherwise I’m just looking like an intellectual. And who wants that when you watch a comedy show that’s the spinoff of a serial show that makes fun of men in dresses?

No, no you don’t. You don’t look like an intellectual because you have been constantly failing at the very definition of reviewing seeing as you completely forget to mention Roman is there as his lines are the build up as well as separate jokes (Weiss is seen as a spoiled brat, Roman has an irrational hatred of Ruby) as well as the punchline being his silent response in Neo’s own way of talking to how she wears HIS uniform. And yeah, she does wear it better. Who knew you could make a trenchcoat and boulderhat cute?

Evil Genius.

Yes Ozpin. You should feel guilty for doing stuff like this. You are basically making CHILD SOLDIERS to fight a war with Salem that YOU probably started… At least Jaune got hurt. I enjoy it when Jaune is the victim of slapstick. I like to think that it’s karma for not respecting Weiss’ refusal to go out with him.

...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQBqSt15Vi0

Okay... There is so much wrong with this... “review” that I dunno wher eto begin.

At the beginning I suppose: It was NEVER once hinted at that Ozpin STARTED the war except by Salem...WHO IS THE BIG BAD. In fact, the only reason you say this is because you have a hate boner against the male characters and automatically think all males are default the bad guys (https://knightofbalance-13.tumblr.com/post/163808997355/what-you-see-in-the-mirror) and that you were whiteknighting Salem (http://dudeblade.tumblr.com/post/160955995697/rwby-theory-ozpin-is-a-fraud) ... USING A NON-CANONICAL SOURCE OF INFO.

You also ignore the fact that Ren and Ruby where getting hurt as well. And the fact that Ozpin was sending them to find random stuff like how he just sort of launched them into the woods to find chess pieces in Volume 1 and how Ruby and Ren caught onto what Ozpin was doing but Jaune didn’t. AKA you failed to review the FULL skit.

And by this logic, Pyrrha getting shot was karma too because she did the exact same stuff as Jaune...but WORSE in a lot of cases. Look at how much of an asshole you look like now.

2.

Uh… is the joke here the fact that Jaune’s weapon is so simple and straightforward that maintenance isn’t something needed- Waitaminute! Why doesn’t he sharpen it? Isn’t that basic sword maintenance 101? - Ugh, incompetent Jaune is incompetent.

The joke was that everyone else was being professionals at doing weapon mantinece but the one person who was never trained as a Huntsman fails in such a ridiculous way that you have to face palm. Like Port whom you completely ignored AGAIN.

3.

The what-glove? … Eh, I’m just going to assume that Ruby saw that Roman was having a bad day, and decided to sheer him up with that slapstick. That feels better, and doesn’t make Ruby out to be more incompetent than Jaune… Also, what is evil about Wi-Fi? If Wi-Fi is evil, doesn’t that make any company that uses the internet evil? I mean, by that same stretch of logic, RoosterTeeth is evil because it uses Wi-Fi… If you are one of those Critical Fans, go nuts with this logic.

Once again, you completely overlook Neo whose reactions are a PART of the joke, the OTHER evil inventions while lampooning how they always malfunction, and that the Froyo stopped Ruby while all of Roman’s complex inventions. AKA the complex plans fail while the simple accident WORKS.

Except this is has even MORE problems. Like the implication that Ruby can’t be incompetent, like she has to always be good at everything or she can’t have isolated instances or slip ups. AKA he’s literally criticizing Ruby for not being a Mary Sue when in the past he criticized for Jaune being a Mary Sue in his eyes.

And the part about the Wi-Fi is pathetic because the Wi-Fi was added on after the “embodiment of evil!” comment, meaning that by the way English is structured, Wi-Fi would logically not be included in the “evil” category. And then he ends by encouraging Insane Troll Logic in order to bash Rooster Teeth.

So to recap: Dudeblade does not understand comedy in the slightest, completely ignores certain aspects of skits (read: most of the skits), has a severe bias against male characters that seeping into his reviews meaning pretty much every review involving a male character is gonnq be shitty, whiteknights females and acts like they can do no wrong and SHOULD do no wrong and outright encourages people attacking Rooster Teeth for stupid reasons.

TL;Dr: Dudeblade should be doing anything critical. He does not have the capacity for it.
