#their support and the fact her character and the show arcane is complex doesn't mean you cannot critique the character

Bitches on tiktok when you say you think Caitlyn was in the wrong for using the smog in the undercity that used to litterally cripple a fair majority of them as a weapon to make cilvilians leave the streets to catch one bad guy and a very clear parallel to IRL police brutality and the fact her mom died and she's grieving doesn't excuse it:

Round 2

Propaganda Under Cut

Mel Medarda

she is the richest woman in piltover who left her family because she didn't agree with the way they did things (conquering and murdering). she sponsors jayce and viktor, and courts jayce, which makes people upset because, you know, jayvik. she and viktor are CANONICALLY parallels with much of their imagery mirroring the other's and they are literally the same height. and people are so weird and misogynist and racist about her. they argue she is manipulating jayce and doesn't actually love him. i am cognitively disabled and cannot explain things well, but, she is so fucking shouldered

Black woman who has a romantic arc with one of the main characters Jayce. Jayce has a best friend called Viktor and their relationship is pretty important plot wise, shown as a direct contrast to his relationship with Mel even though only one is canonically sexual/romantic. So naturally fandom as the transformative safe haven it is villainized Mel horribly coming up with theories about how instead of being a complex morally grey character she's actually evil and just wants to seduce Jayce for Evil Reasons. Since they couldn't use her as a supportive female friend with no personality, others just ignored her existence entirely or acted like Jayce would ditch her for Viktor. Majority of m/m shippers will reduce her down to her relationship with Jayce and an obstacle in the way of JayVik, ironically writing her as a far worse and less complex version of the character we get on screen. The misogyny reeks and combined with the racism? It's a pretty bad case. Only slightly mitigated due to the fact that the main characters of the show are women (and the lead is a lesbian) so thankfully the male focus of fandom is lessened as opposed to filling almost every inch. Still awful to try and search for good Mel content, godspeed girlies with taste.

She's one of the most interesting characters on the show, a rich politician, smart and beautiful and has a really complicated and intriguing relationship with the city's golden boy inventor. unfortunately golden boy has a sickly twink science partner so she gets sidetracked SO BAD

Nyota Uhura

She's Spock's canon partner in AOS, and I get it because they're not a great couple, but she gets villianized in fic so much. They constantly make her an asshole (which totally has nothing to do with her being black /sarcasm) and abusive just for the crime of dating a man headcanoned as gay. And I mean, I think Spock is gay and her being a love interest was unnecessary but still! She's cool!

Oh my god so in the Star Trek reboot she’s Spock’s girlfriend and the fandom has no idea what to do with her??? Like she is ALWAYS either such a bitch or like the mom friend? And there is so much more to her character than that? But they always break down her character AND find a quick and easy way to break up her and Spock. I’m not even mad at that but at least treat their relationship with some weight instead of just being like ‘it never mattered’. People can love multiple people throughout the course of their lives. You know that right? Just because you loved someone before doesn’t make your new love any less special. And even headcanoning Spock as gay… you realize he doesn’t need to be attracted to Uhura for their relationship to have mattered, right? Even if he confused friendship for romantic attraction, him feeling such strong friendship and openly expressing it is so monumental for him!!! 

she's dating Spock, who people ship with Kirk, so fans have decided that it's horrible writing and "really, they're just defending her, the movies turned her into just a love interests," which is not at all true. The movies do so much more for her to the point that the fans who have only seen the movies think that the main characters are Kirk, Spock, and Uhura instead of the Kirk, Spock, McCoy of the original series. Also having a black women being shown as being desired and loved in mainstream media, particularly by one of the most popular characters of all time, is a good thing, not making her "just a love interest"

I actually use a separate tag from RWDE when I express negative opinions towards canon.

That's mostly because RWDEs just aren't interested in ACTUAL criticism, and in fact throw temper tantrums when you give criticism that DOESN'T line up with theirs.

Any criticism that isn't "the dumb girls submit to the manly men" is completely disregarded by them.

Spoke with a friend about that last night at a mini-birthday I was holding prior to my main party.

She said, in her experience with Snyderverse community?

their mindset was that of self-righteousness....they get some kind of emotional high from imagining themselves having a superior standing over professional media.

And in this day and age, such arrogance and superiority complexes seem to be addicting to many.

I have a hot take @swapauanon .

The same people who like to write fanfics about Jaune or “fix” rwby?

will never touch Arcane shows.

After all, if people like Couer are anything to go by

Their idea of writing tends to support straight over LGBT...

so they probably won’t support She-Ra either.

Isn’t it strange though.

RWBY is a show about women, and not men. Both the main protagonists and the main antagonists are both female.

And there are MANY LGBT elements in the show.

We have male POC characters like Marrow Amin who are good and do not get killed off...which we don’t always see in anime (glaring at Bleach and Akame Ga Kill)

So I wonder...why are so many people making so many accusations of racism, sexism, and queer-baiting?

i mean I get the Misandry accusation...so many abused/neglected male reader fanfics love to use RWBY for the “potential” in which writers like Couer who hate the writing and the story simply want to impose their self-insert.

He’s simply the most famous self-insert fanfic writer out there.

But why do so many people support hatred against RWBY and its writing?

Why do so many people love to say “My fanfic is better than rwby” and its basically male-focused or anti-lgbt.

people say I hate jaune arc...I don’t hate him.

i hate his fans who are obsessed with making him OP.

With making him the center of attention.

with making women go after him moreso than a fate stay night protagonist.....’

honestly never did understand or like the writing of that show...too many plotholes and forced writing for that to work....and the themes or ideas behind the show are ridiculous...
