unpopular/popular depending on where you vibe in the fandom. Tauradonna literally did not have to be an abusive relationship. Me I was fine with Adam and Blake just being a mentor/student relationship but if we wanted to get shippy, I feel like the story would've been spicier and more flavorful if it was bonnie and clyde couple turned tragic bitter exes through their differences. We could've still had Blake move on with Sun or Yang(which is damn near the same damn ship just with different genders which could be my other unpopular opinion that blakesun and bumbleby are damn near the same ship)
Anon you're chosing violence with this one lol
strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree
While it's true that you can have abusive people who climb to the top of any organization, just from a storytelling standpoint? I feel like it took away from the whole faunus racism subplot.
Full disclaimer, I have not rewatched RWBY in a very very long time and I do not plan to, but I do know that there was debate over what Adam was presented to be in the very beginning compared to what he was later on in the show. I'm not going to pretend that I am any expert in Adam lol because he's just never been a favorite character of mine.
But I can definitely say that the route they took with him, whether is was pLaNNeD tHe WhOLe TiMe or not, was very disappointing. Tbh I feel like if youre not invested in bmb/lb then it just kind of falls flat? Adams death was the death of the faunus racism arc and you can tell by the fact that they get to atlas and it's just not a focal point despite atlas being built up as this center of faunus oppression. Yeah I know "mistral is actually the most racist kingdom" blah blah but take away what the writers say and just focus on the show solely and what do we have? Characters from mistral don't really have any strong feelings on faunus either way. Many Characters from atlas are shown to be the most overtly racist, including Weiss.
Anyways, this is all very besides your point anon but tbh there probably is a way they could have written Adam to be an abuser and STILL make a compelling story on top of it but they didn't do that. Probably never making their relationship like that in the first place might have been the better route.
I've never thought about black/sun and bmbl/b being similar ships but I'll have to ponder on this now lol. Why do you think this nonnie?

The criticisms of bumbleby and other ships are so immature and hypocritical
Hello dear followers of RWBY here a new review and before I start I must say that I love the videos of criticism (but everything has a limit) I always tolerate the videos Anti Bumbleby with their bad arguments ... but the video of this girl if It is very silly
It is incredible that she criticizes most of the ships (Renora-Arkos.Whiterose) but says that Ruby and Oscar have a "slow development" in their future romance and of course praises the Blakensun (you know, I will not bother to put all the Bumbleby moments because with a few it is easy to refute their statements)
Vol 1
"From Vol 1 they were pushing the Blakesun" which is ridiculous.
In the First Volume only have time on screen in the 2 final chapters and the worst is that it was more action than anything else to top Sun has winking at Blake there was nothing "romance"
In Volume 2 she says "Blake went to the dance with Sun" but she forgets to mention that Sun thinks the best thing about Blake is that "she is a faun" which is an idea that Blake rejects because she wants to be valued by her not by his race.
Now she also forgets to say that Yang was the one who revealed something of his past to Blake because she wanted her to be less stressed besides feeling that she could share those things with her. Reason? simply because it's Blake.
I mean seriously. What's with the Sun and Blake dance? relatively nothing, not even spent a lot of time and to top Blake I dedicate a loving look to Yang in the middle of the dance ... mentioning that Yang was left without a partner "For some reason"
something that should be emphasized is that the series always focuses that Sun does not understand Blake and that really is the reason why the two were incompatible as a couple (not to mention that many events in Blake's life made this difficult)
The worst thing is that after that there was nothing between Sun and Blake ... I mean nothing in that volume after the Dance.
The worst part is that the end of Vol 2 is where the most important connections of our protagonists are established. Is this Sun there with Blake? In case you do not know, I'll tell you that it's not
Vol 3 we only have the scene of Sun making Blake blush ... but then (Nothing). What did they connect? When was it more than a little game of teenagers?
Worst of all, she ignores the fact that the narrative could have written at any time that the conflict with Adam was with Sun but they did not ... in fact, Sun was there and they completely ignored him.
literally the moment between Adam-Blake-Yang was so devastating to her that they even used the same environment as in Trailer Black as a symbolism
I mean what more obvious can be those who would be important in Blake narrative?
The worst thing is that the last thing we see about Sun and Blake was seeing how Blake clings to Yang, showing a thousand times more emotion than when he is with him and in addition to a real link
Vol 4
she considers that the moment of Sun and her parents is "a sign of romance"
something remarkable is that even in the opening 4 of rwby showed how Blake did not feel comfortable with Sun and what he missed most was Yang (but she does not point it out)
What seems to ignore in the Vol 4 is that Sun and Blake only spoke for 10 minutes and there really were no indications of "romance" rather the opposite ... his presence bothered her, in fact what bothered her the most was that Sun did not I understood for nothing
it's not to offend but if that is the "developed romance" your argument to attack the Bumbleby is very stupid
Then she points out that Blake told Sun "my hero" but she forgets that is not in romantic context ... in fact, 1 minute ago Sun told him that he would do it again to protect her and "I bet Yang would do the same" Why would he say something like that? Above all Blake's reaction was very revealing ... I mean that girl who made the video without offending is talking stupid shit
In Vol 5 Sun and Blake literally did not have any "Moment" to connect ... the harsh reality is that when Sun met Adam(he does not give a shit)
how it made me angry that she said "I wish there was a base for the Bumbleby" when she literally ignored all the problems in the Blakesun narrative and that obviously they were not going to be canon
In fact in this volume one of the strongest moments is when a parallel is made between Yang admitting that she needs her more than anyone else and the confession of Ilia "feelings" towards Blake. How are people blind?
They even made the TaiRaven parallel where their father is looking at the melancholic photo thinking of Raven and of course Yang taking the picture thinking of Blake, I mean WTF How the fuck did the girl in the video say nothing?
then she tries to demean the moment between the meeting of Yang and Blake which to top it off was much more emotional than any scene with Sun in that volume
The parallels with other couples are fucking obvious. Is it so weird that the events that Yang and Blake lived caused them to develop feelings for each other?
Not to mention that she forgets to put the Soundracks that are a fundamental part to express the feelings of the characters.
Not even I put the last Bumbleby Soundrack that came out in Vol 6 (nor the BB because it did not appear in the series)
The end of the Blakesun
Her final complaint is that according to her "they discarded the Blakesun from nothing" when literally in all her video she "forgot" to mention all the mistakes that Blakesun has had since Vol 1
How would someone call "flirting" their interactions in Vol 4 and 5?
I mean literally it was the opposite here the problems of ship Blakesun were addressed in the first 3 volumes (lack of narrative importance, lack of understanding) in fact these 2 volumes were developed as friends.
That's why the moment of Sun and Blake in Vol 6 was the conclusion of a new friendship (because before Sun was just the guy who wanted to be with Blake was not even his friend) but now they separated as friends
Blake and Yang in the Vol 6
Volume 6 certainly improved a lot compared to what was seen in Vol 5 with regard to the development of the series in general ... but one of the things that only continues what Vol 4 and 5 raised was the development of the link of Yang and Blake.
One of the things that the Blakesun fandom refuses to accept is that the separation caused their link to increase rather than diminish it ... with Yang this is evident as they saw on the top and that's what people can easily accept if they explain it ... but with Blake this also happened, in his time with his parents and Sun something that Blake realized is that he misses his team ... but especially to Yang and deny this is stupid
Yang, despite having accepted Blake, still feels that anger towards her because she left and does not want to feel like she felt again, so she does not want to be close to her ... which contrasts with his dynamic in the first volumes , here is Blake who tries to get his attention at all times, looks at her all the time and wants to be alone with her.
Many have said that Yang has been "unfair" with Blake ... but this is understandable since Blake is someone "very special" to Yang and this hurt her more than anyone ... but obviously this does not show in front of Ruby or Weiss because that matter is her and no one else.
What causes me a lot of laughter is how Blake for the first time since Adam is nervous and trying to connect with someone in particular because if they check their relationships: (Sun seeks her, Ilia seeks her, Yang is the one who seeks her).
This is not only because of "guilt" but because she really misses her and again Blake does not feel this with Ruby, does not feel this Weiss and does not feel that with Sun. Now do you understand what kind of development they are giving you? you have to know when the narrative makes a distinction.
These emotions were not felt by Sun and that is evident, what makes me laugh at that situation is that the distance made him see who was the person who most missed
The girl and many who are against the couple argue "Is that Blake only thinks that Yang can not take care of itself" this is not only false, but stupid Do you remember that Blake defines Yang as someone strong? in fact that's why he associates her with Adam in volume 3. Do you remember that in chapter 1 of that volume both fight together without problems?
When Blake told her that "I would protect her" it's not because she thinks that she does not believe in her, but that she does not want to see her hurt again and much less for Adam, he just wanted to comfort her and connect with her ... literally this scene is equal to other ship "hetero" that nobody argues for being "Hetero"
even in this volume we have the parelism with the account of the beauty and the beast (which was indicated from the Soundrack)
I could explain almost all the development of Vol 6, but why bother? It is so evident the parallel they did with Renora and other ship that denying it is very silly.
How does anyone in the Bumbleby fandom respond to such a stupid video? if I knew how to make YouTube videos (I would do it) ... but I'm surprised they get trampled by guys and girls who make this videos of hate
In case you have not noticed (Many animes have worse matches and nobody says a shit ... but since these are "lesbians or bisexuals" the fandom say "I only want a good story, Bumbleby ruined" when that is a lie so little credible
Conclusion
is a very stupid video, not to mention that he also forgets the Anthologys and the official manga that gives so many Bumbleby moments instead of Blakesun (which is weird considering that "everything indicated Blakesun) I hate to say it, but what a ridiculous girl
in fact part that made me make this review was not to defend the Bumbleby but how can someone be so shameless to say that the Rosagarden has development and not the Whiterose or Bumbleby or other ship? I mean, that's ridiculous
I mean the development of Ruby and Weiss was so much that even in the opening they focused on it, without mentioning that they are the longest dynamics of the series and that the creator himself shipped them ( this ship is a Japanese yuri cliche)
But if that is not enough the official RWBY manga published in the shonen (which has more narrative importance, develops them with romantic touches) so literally that girl's video is too silly
So my advice for the fandom is that they do not listen to everything that someone on YouTube says and my advice for the fandom Bumbleby and Whiterose is to defend themselves from these stupid things that the Haters do and remember (Mounty liked the Whiterose) and his concept of introducing LGBT characters fits perfectly with what is happening now in the show.
