it's not even that I think rwby is perfect because I KNOW there are a lot of flaws in the writing and how some things were handled (particularly the faunus racism plotline) but I will also be defending that show to my last breath because the only people who ever try and "critique" it are angry dudebros who can't STAND that the story revolves almost exclusively around women. and most of them haven't even watched past season 3.

#like idk i think in regards to the racism plotline i definitely think theres a lot of things they could have done better #but there are also a lot of things in that plotline that they did very well.#idk the moment someone has a genuine critique that goes deeper than ''oohbhh my favorite man isnt the writers special little boy''#or ''oohbh the show sucksssss because theyre ruining monty's legacyyyyy'' or some shit i am HERE for that.#bc i think its worth talking about the shows weaker points. necessary even.#and its also worth talking about all the things the show does well because i have NEVER to this day watched anything #as unapologetically hopeful as rwby. like yeah things suck and sometimes what we do to make it better actually makes it worse #and there might not be a future where we actually can succeed. but we're trying and thats the most important thing.#thats the core thesis of the show dare i say.#but anyway idk. the fact that the show has its own tag EXCLUSIVELY for petty dudebro hate should say everything you need to know.#winter speaks #re my reblog a while ago about hbomberguy's rwde video essay #rwby
