Striker really has wound up in that Adam 'Fuck-You-Goatman' Taurus position of ‘glorified goon/henchman/thug who milks a tragic backstory for ego-points and gets off on bullying those he considers beneath him’ that a chunk of the fandom really latched onto solely because he has a cool/sexy-bad-boy aesthetic to the point where they didn’t get the memo about him being a glorified goon/henchmen/thug and now get pissy and whiny to the creators about his ‘wasted potential’ whenever he acts like a glorified goon/henchman/thug and doesn’t conform to their headcanons, hasn't he? people really have a hard time realizing when their self obsessed shithead villain is in fact just a self obsessed shithead villain and all the depth was all in their head
Damn.
I was thinking of making a post about this but I didn't know how to word it. But you nailed it.

Lightning round: RWBY

1. Adam Taurus
- He’s kinda a shithead in canon but his design slaps. Go goatman!!!
2. Ruby Rose

It does sadly seem like that. :/ A lot of people forget too though that we still haven't seen the full story yet, so saying they ruined Striker seems premature if they're that concerned about who Striker really is as a character and could get wind up getting their headcanons confirmed later on when we know more about him or see what he'll do to the other characters. Who knows? :/

Adam was ruined, but not by CRWBY...
He was ruined by his stans
They and their worship of him made it unbearable to have the character around, because whenever he was they would apologize for his atrocities, glorify his horrific behavior, and talk about the female characters he hurt in disturbing ways
Thank God he was killed off

Adam Taurus, both mun and muse thoughts.
“He’s really sweet, once you get to know him. He’s a bit prideful, but he comes around. I’m glad he’s finally happy.”
//Real talk though, canon Adam is a shithead. I will never understand people who say his character was butchered or his potential was wasted. Like, lmao what potential??? We only saw him for like 5 mins in the black trailer and the rest was in one of the last episodes of V3 before we saw him again in V5. Like literally y’all based his entire character off of that and it baffles me. Anyway Adam was a persistent, manipulative, hypocritical asshole and I don’t miss him. Snow’s Adam tho? LOVE their portrayal of him. They make it very clear that he’s a bad person but then sprinkle in some dumb goat juice so he’s actually bearable to be around. Sorta. #StanSnow’sAdam2k20

an uncomfortable realization about adam taurus
In the adam character short, adam is shown as already being an adult when ghira was leader of the WF - lets say he was 18
since blake is 18 in v1 and says ghira stepped down 5 years beforehand, blake was 13yo when adam was at least 18
i think its safe to assume blake was 17 when they started dating at best
which means. 22 yo adam taurus dating a 17yo... which isnt. great
i mean we already know hes a Massive Fucking Shithead but this just adds an extra level of Yikes

Adam defender’s double standard
sigh
A few weeks ago I made a post about how in the current point where the story is at, the Bees are better fighters than Adam was (https://short-wooloo.tumblr.com/post/190810618519/the-bees-are-better-fighters-than-adam-now)
Of course, I encountered idiots hellbent on sucking adam’s dick, naturally arguing that adam is in fact the most powerful kewlest character in the show uwu, and the reason is because he has so many fights against enemies he’s leagues above in skill and power, or just having an aura, never-mind the fact that he runs away when he doesn’t have the advantage
But one of the weirdest, and most frustrating arguments, is and I quote:
“Blake didn’t train at all during vol.4-6 so she won’t be able to take Adam down. Yang only had couple days of train still won’t match someone with high level years of training.”
So let me get this straight: because the show didn’t actually depict Blake and Yang training, or in Yang’s case “only a few days”, that means they didn’t (we’ve seen this dumb argument before and I’ll get to it in a sec), but Adam on the other hand is “high level” and has “years of training”,
“Years of training”, something we never once see Adam partake in, ah I see now, if the show doesn’t actually depict Blake and Yang getting lots of training, that means it didn’t happen/doesn’t count, but Adam? Someone who has never been shown or said to have years of training? He has it, obviously
As for the “high level” comment, Adam opponents include: robots (we specifically see Blake and Weiss destroy the upgraded newer models), an uber-laser beam robot, which he specifically needed Blake’s help to defeat (we never see it again and the victory here is less skill and more a power perfectly suited to negate the opponents primary attack), people without aura (average military grunts, white fang goons, and human thugs), unarmed people, people who are at a disadvantage/are weaker than he is, people who’s aura is depleted, or people who he knows how to fight and get into their head because he’s familiar with them and their fighting style
Clearly the earmarks of someone on the highest of levels
Now lets get back to the supposed “lack of training” comment
I feel like this should be obvious but clearly it needs to be asked, Ya’ll realize that the scene of Yang training with Tai is not meant to be seen as the only time she trained right? The scene is meant to convey that she has been training, not that this is the sum of all the training she has done, we don’t need several episodes of her training or a montage, is that what people seriously expect and want the show to do? Just keep cutting to training fights that have no stakes between the same people over and over? Just a continuous string of mindless fights that don’t contribute to the story but in fact distract from the story being told-
Oooooooooh wait, I just remember what fandom this is, “hur dur, show don’t tell, me want more fights, stop talking, why talking? where fight? me want fights me can’t follow basic storytelling, but me hide it by claiming the show is only telling and not showing”
ahem
Anyways, the amount training Yang has received is implied, the training fight between her and Tai is not meant to be see as taking place immediately following Vol 4 chapter 4, the 4 storylines of Vol 4 are not meant to be seen as happening 1 to 1 on the timeline
But aside from her training with Tai, Yang also trains with Oz, Ruby and her friends, the show makes a point in Vol 5 to say that RNJR is spending its time practicing and training, and if I recall correctly, this is supposed to have taken place over the course of a month, in short the points where RNJR meets up with Oscar/Ozpin, when Yang and Weiss reunite with them, and the battle for Haven are not meant to be seen as all happening immediately following each other, there are days/weeks between the events, do you really think Yang would just be doing nothing for all that time?
Speaking of timelines and when things happen, I should get to Blake, now yes, we don’t see Blake training, but its not like she’s sitting around the whole time, she was fighting White Fang members (specifically high-up skilled ones such as the Albains and Ilia) and Grimm, practice is good and all, but there’s no substitute for the real deal, and as for the timeline thing, remember how they transport the Militia from Menagerie by boat? That’s no speedy trip, and given that said militia had some rudimentary or basic training down by the time they got to Haven, its not much of a jump to assume that during that time in addition to training the militia Blake was also training
But getting back to the real deal vs training thing, that’s the bulk of where team RWBY’s skill and strength come from, they have lots of hands-on real-life experience (this is part of the reason they beat ACE-OPs),
You don’t become a better fighter just from training alone, you need to have experience against real enemies too, a person can train their whole life but that’s no substitute for experience,
Case and point, RWBY spends a lot of time in fights with enemies that are aiming to hurt or kill them, training is good and all, it keeps you in shape and your skills fresh, but outside of accidents you aren’t in any real danger, but in a real fight where the enemy will hurt or kill you, that’s going to push your skills to the limit or even beyond, thus when they beat their enemies the experience has taught them and made them better fighters
Consequently, that’s also why Bumbleby improved and adam stagnated, during their time between Vol 3-6 the Bees have been facing Grimm and Human/Faunus opponents that can match them or give them a run for their money in a fight, as opposed to adam, who’s “fights” are him stabbing an unarmed woman, slaughtering White Fang goons (who everyone beats up with ease) or briefly “fighting” Blake and Sun before running away at the earliest convenience, now the main point of that is in the only instance where Adam came close to being in a fight that could have been an actual challenge he ran away as soon as he could, but every other fight was one where he was in no danger
Now if I could use a video game (rpg?) metaphor, Yang and Blake are like the players who face off against bosses/enemies that are equal or greater to them, a high risk high reward scenario, adam is a player who only fights the weak units that have no real chance of seriously threatening him, low reward, minimal risk,
Now I’m not going to say if one strategy is better than the other, but look at it like this, due to the rewards being higher, Blake and Yang gain more xp from their fights, whereas adam has to face numerous enemies to get the same amount of xp
Translating this back to RWBY’s world, by facing stronger opponents Blake and Yang get pushed to the limit and are forced to worker harder and become better fighters, but because adam fights people weaker than himself he almost never hits the limit (the fight at the end of Vol 6 was probably the only case of such ever happening in his life), and thus doesn’t need to try harder or put effort into improvement
