Guess I’m going back to my roots with this one.
“Burning the Candle-”
It’s ‘Taiyang left the house so of course he was being neglectful of Yang and Ruby!’ If you’ve been around me long enough, you’ve already heard this part before.
And I have the exact same response as before- If Yang had to wait for Tai to leave then that would have meant that it wasn’t a common enough occurrence to bank on. Yang had to wait because it wouldn’t have happened enough. To say nothing of the fact that leaving your kid alone isn’t god damn neglect, especially as a SINGLE parent. There can be any number of reasons to just leave for a moment, from getting food to paying a bill.
The only thing that is any different from normal is this-
Wow... I wonder why Yang felt the need to try to diffuse the tension with humor and keep everyone in high spirits all the time. It’s almost like it was a life or death situation growing up. (/s)
Where was this ever demonstrated? Yang didn’t joke around in Burning The Candle about this and she never jokes about this anywhere so-
... This is setup for the arm joke in Volume 4.
“Anger, Fear and Burn”
Before jumping into the next big narrative piece, let’s talk a little bit about Yang’s semblance, Burn, and how it works. Because it’s important to establish before starting to dig into Volume 4.
Let’s start with how Ruby describes it:
“Don't worry! With each hit she gets stronger, and she uses that energy to fight back! That's what makes her special.”
Notice how Ruby doesn't mention anything about Yang needing to be angry to use her Semblance? In fact, while it’s unclear if this is entirely true, it has been stated previously that Yang’s powers come in part from her hair and no one has refuted that claim in like 8 years so it holds some weight.
Moreover, recent volumes have actually been hinting that Yang likely doesn't even need to use her anger to activate/maintain burn. And that she just does so out of habit more than anything.
Now, why exactly would someone intentionally limit themselves by tying their semblance into in emotion like that? Well, first let’s answer the question, why anger?
Pure speculation and you are citing yourself here. Not a good look.
Let’s make a list of all the time pre-Volume 4 that Yang used her Semblance in combat.
Vs. Junior (Second Round) [Yellow Trailer] Vs. The Ursas in the Emerald Forest [The Emerald Forest] Vs. Torchwick in the Paladin Mech [Painting the Town] Vs. Neon and Flynt in the Vytal Tournament [Never Miss A Beat] Vs. Mercury in the Vytal Tournament [Fall] Vs. Adam to protect Blake [Heroes and Monsters]
Now, you’ve probably noticed that I have bolded the majority of these fights. Those are the fights where Yang shows anger in the fight itself. It also discludes any use of her Semblance outside of combat, like during Players and Pieces.
In fact, it’s very first use was emphasized with her becoming enraged against an opponent who posed no threat to Yang. Regardless of what you come up with- the pattern is clear. Yang’s anger and Burn are heavily connected.
“But I said that Yang intentionally limited herself to anger when using Burn-”
But is that true? Yang’s anger isn’t portrayed as a rational response or done with any thought. Look back at her fight with Junior- the man presented no real danger to her. All he could do on the brink of defeat is pull out a couple of strands of hair. And yet Yang punches him so hard Junior goes flying out the window of his club. What about the Ursas? You try connecting her anger to feelings of fear...but how the hell is she afraid of the Ursas and Junior, things so below her with no means of hurting her emotionally or physically?
Every time we see Burn during this time period, Yang uses it almost instinctively. Almost like her anger isn’t rational but reactive and instinctual. which leads use to the next point-
And well... anger is a secondary emotion.
“A secondary emotion is an emotion fueled by other emotions... masking your feelings of sadness, hurt or grief with anger can be easier than experiencing the primary emotion.”
And moreover,
“The feelings that anger commonly masks include fear, anxiety, guilt, shame, embarrassment, betrayal, jealousy, sadness, hurt, and worry. (Alta Loma, Understanding Anger as a Secondary Emotion, Web, emphasis added).”
I don’t believe for a second that anger is a secondary emotion. For one, some sources believe it to be a primary emotion.
https://www.studysmarter.us/explanations/psychology/emotion-and-motivation/primary-emotions/
https://www.verywellmind.com/an-overview-of-the-types-of-emotions-4163976
https://blog.mindvalley.com/primary-emotions/
And two. Primary emotions seem to be automatic, instinctive responses to perceived obstacles or events. And as someone who suffers from explosive moments of anger- I can say that this supports the idea that anger is a primary emotion. I mean, personally I don’t but primary and secondary emotions based on the idea that the later is fueled by other emotions- all emotions affect each other no matter what they are. So I certainly know that the difference is whether the emotion is logical or instinctual. And yeah- Anger is instinctual, raw, primal and irrational. You don’t think when you’re THAT angry- All you want is to smash that which angered you.
So this doesn’t work.
We know there are living Grimm on Patch. Maybe not as many as elsewhere, but both times we are given glimpses into Yang and Ruby's childhood on Patch they are attacked by Grimm, which isn't a great sign.
How old do you think Yang was the first time she or Ruby had a bad day and attracted one of them on accident and she had to fight it off on her own (because she couldn't run, she had to protect Ruby)?
How many nights do you think Yang would spend reading Ruby stories and telling her dumb jokes to get her to laugh to try to make sure they weren't attacked? How often did Ruby have to force herself to be okay? For both their sake?
You know, this kind of goes against the idea that Tai had completely checked out because you want to know something?
Yang was taught her style of fighting BY Taiyang. If Yang had to fight off the Grimm, she would have needed to know how to fight. And thus, Taiyang would have taught her.
I don’t think you ever acknowledge that bit of background for Yang. Probably because it breaks this whole thing in half like it always does.
“Volume 4″
Now let's talk about Volume 4, aka: when Tai had the chance to step up and didn't.
Or rather: “I choose to ignore canon.”
Now right off the bat he's okay. There's nothing inherently wrong with him bringing her the arm and being excited at the thought because he doesn't know how she's going to react to it though it is a little weird he opened her mail without permission.
Taiyang: Brand new, state of the art Atlas tech. You know, I thought I was gonna have to pull some strings, call in a few favors, but you earned this one all on your own, kiddo.
Yang: (looking up) Huh?
Taiyang: Before I could even talk to him, General Ironwood already had one of his top scientists working on this, for you. He wanted me to tell you that you fought admirably. You should be proud of yourself.
He didn’t. It’s implied he was talking to Atlas for a replacement.
The rest of Yang's first V4 episode, however, makes it very clear both to us as the audience and Tai that Yang isn't doing okay... but Tai doesn't do anything to attempt to help her.
...
You know, I gotta love that you look into every minute detail of what Yang says or does but completely ignore not just how Tai was the one who got Yang her arm-
-But also the clear look of helplessness and regret on his face in the same damn episode.
We can go into how Yang doesn’t actually use her Semblance in anger (which she does) but basic research? Too hard.
Which is why what happens in the next episode is kinda messed up.
Yang wakes up from a nightmare about losing her arm in a seriously traumatizing event and goes downstairs when she realizes there's a distraction people are over.
Then we get the fight and despite Yang laughing it off in the end... honestly Tai is being very condescending towards her, which Yang even points out. Like, someone made a slightly adult joke in front of her and he flies off the handle and starts a fight with her and starts making digs about her not being a real adult ready for the real world and let's just break that down before dealing with the actual problems in this episode.
Cool. Let’s actually look what was said.
Oobleck: The Branwen twins have always been... interesting, to say the least.
Port: That sure didn't seem to stop young Tai.
Taiyang: Hey, come on, man, she's right here.
Port: Oh, please! She's a mature young woman! If she can handle combat, she can handle a few jabs at her old man!
Taiyang: That's not the issue, Pete! And besides, she's still a teenager!
Yang: "She" is also in the room, and can be directly spoken to. And I think I've been through enough to be considered an adult at this point.
Taiyang: (sighing) Adult or not, you've still got a long way to go before you're ready for the real world.
Yang: Oh my gosh! Does every father figure have the same three condescending phrases?
Taiyang: Yeah! But we only use them when we mean it!
Port and Oobleck look at each other as father and daughter argue, a touch uncomfortable. Oobleck takes a sip from his mug while Port pulls at his collar.
Yang: Is that so?
Taiyang: As a matter of fact, it is so! If you honestly think that you're ready to go out there on your own, ha, well I guess you lost some brain cells along with that arm.
Because this is so extreme to be called ‘flying off the handle’. When’s the post calling Yang a grumpy bitch? You know, since we’re blatantly misrepresenting characters for our narratives now?
Not just that- Taiyang wasn’t the one who instigated a fight. Yang was by directly arguing with him. Now a rational person would just take this as a family squabble that any teenager would have with their parent and that no one is really at fault since it’s fairly normal- But if you’re going to assign fault here, it would logically go to Yang.
Yang, as established, has been fulfilling the role of parent (while barely getting any parenting herself) for years. She's been fulfilling the role of an adult since she was 5! And at this point in the show she's also legally an adult. So not only is it condescending, it's also untrue.
You can say that all you want. Taiyang canonically taught Yang how to fight personally. Meaning for a period of time- he acted as a parent too.
Then we get this line.
“I guess you lost some brain cells along with that arm.”
Not only is this beyond callus, Yang is clearly actually upset by this.
And notably, she only treats it as a joke after Oobleck dropped his cup. AKA: after being reminded that they aren’t alone in the room.
(And remember, Yang uses humor as a coping mechanism).
And both Oobleck and Port can clearly tell that this wasn’t appropriate at all and immediately following that, they pointedly step in to ask Yang how she is doing with everything.
And we get to THIS bullshit.
1. Since when has Yang ever used humor as a coping mechanism? You say that she does but not once have you demonstrated or given any examples. And every time I can think of Yang being used for humor- it was to demonstrate her forward, emotional personality. Yang is not someone who hides herself away- That’s Ruby. Yang is someone who wears her heart on her slevee and jokes because she’s genuinely enjoying herself.
2. So I guess we’re allowed to speak over female characters when it screws over male characters huh?
Yang never once shows resentment or anger towards Taiyang for the joke. The same woman who verbally beats down anyone who pisses her off. When Raven insulted her family, special emphasis was put on Taiyang as if Raven insulting him was the final straw. ( Raven: Otherwise you'll end up just as blind as Qrow... (Yang grits her teeth, and her eyes narrow, seething) ... and your fool of a father.) The only negativity she demonstrates is a moment of clear weakness and extreme emotion, where she expresses the idea that Summer just left her and not that she....died. Knowing from my own outbursts like this- she likely doesn’t believe that and only said it because she was overwhlemed with emotion.
Yang never truly shows anything like this towards Taiyang, which contradicts your stance here.
3. You’re right, this is just SOOO heartless. But wanna know what’s even more heartless? Someone telling a widowed, abandoned man that he doesn’t know what it’s like to lose a part of yourself and that it would never be coming back even though you have a replacement on hand and he never will. Who could be so cruel and heartless to say such a thi-
Yang: What is that supposed to mean? Do you want me to just pretend like nothing happened? I lost a part of me. A piece of me is gone. And it's never coming back.
... Oh right. Yang herself. To her father.
Now from my perspective, this is perfectly fine. It’s a setup by the writers to use Taiyang’s previously established grief as a means to connect Yang’s situation to his, to subtly show that he is using his lived experience to impart a lesson to Yang, his child. But my perspective also tells me that Yang’s response to the arm joke was to laugh it off since she’s tough and knows he cares, not that it secretly hurt her. Yours should have led you to calling out Yang if you were being consistent.
Which Tai has not done.
And Yang opens up to them! And she tells them that she’s still struggling and coming to terms with what happened to her. Which in turn causes Tai to finally talk to her about it, but he’s being pushy about her getting back out and “being her new normal” and even refers to her PTSD as moping when she just got done saying she’s still trying to process and recover.
And it’s again Port specifically who steps in and gives her some genuine advice without trying to push her her into anything she’s not ready for and then Oobleck joins in and they go out if their way to ham it up to make her laugh.
So overall, Tai’s being extremely dismissive of the trauma that she’s gone through and minimizing her feelings at every turn.
I mean, not like Taiyang has gone through the process of grief and recovery so he would know or anything...
Funny what conclusions you can draw when you ignore aspects of a character. Again, when’s the post detailing how Yang’s a grumpy bitch?
Also-
Taiyang: Well, normal is what you make of it.
Yang: What is that supposed to mean? Do you want me to just pretend like nothing happened? I lost a part of me. A piece of me is gone. And it's never coming back.
Taiyang: You're right. It's not coming back. But that doesn't have to stop you from becoming who you wanna be. You're Yang Xiao Long, my sunny little dragon.
Taiyang puts his hand on his daughter's shoulder.
Taiyang: You can do whatever you put your mind to. So whenever you're ready to stop moping, and get back out there, I'll be there for you.
I guess we’re living in opposite world because I could have sworn this was a show of support and confidence in her. Shall I also assume you believe Jacques is the best dad ever?
Which then leads to this scene...
You’re saying that Taiyang knows that Yang can hear him from outside and that this was a ploy to get her to leave so he could go after Ruby. You know, completely ignoring the implication that Yang was going back to sleep and thus wouldn’t hear them or that ‘taking care of some things’ would spare Yang’s feelings even if he did assume.
There, can we stop using dead points already?
And then she comes to him literally the next day wearing the new arm and wanting to train and he doesn't question her at all, even though 12 hours earlier Yang was very much not ready?
Sometimes all people need is a show of support and some time to make up their minds.
We then don’t see her at all for five episodes until we get the scene where she’s training with Tai and honestly, his advice is kinda horrible.
‘He called Yang’s semblance a temper tantrum and she didn’t actually follow his advice’? Right?
To start, even he says his advice is based on watching her Vytal Festival fights, meaning that everything is based on watching three matches.
He points out she uses her semblance to win every fight after the qualifiers (which is true), and Yang rightly points out that everyone uses their semblances to help them win. Then Tai says this:
“Because not everyone else’s is basically a temper tantrum.”
Not only is this very unlikely to be true, but even if Yang does need to rely on her anger to activate her semblance, calling it a temper tantrum isn’t accurate at all.
In fact, the way Yang uses her semblance takes a great deal of emotional regulation to pull off. She not only is able to make herself angry enough to use it at will, she’s also able to stop using it at will. Meaning Yang is capable of instantaneously switching from one emotion to another.
That’s not a temper tantrum, that’s someone with superb emotional control choosing what emotion to feel when it’s most appropriate.
That’s one.
If Yang was so good at controlling her emotions, why is it that every time her Semblance was used in anger, it was used as a show of blazing, uncontrollable anger? Her Neon fight even had the writers making a Hulk reference. The Hulk, the poster child of uncontrollable rage and anger. The exact OPPOSITE of emotional control.
Not only that, let’s take a look at the three fights were Yang shows outright anger. Neo, Neon and Adam.
Vs. Neo, Yang does nothing but punch and blast at Neo even as none of that works. She doesn’t try being defensive, using fancy footwork to keep Neo at bay like she did the Twins in the Yellow Trailer or just blocking. It’s just attacking, attacking and attacking with none of her usual grinning or quips to show her enjoying herself. It’s all anger and frustration.
Vs. Neon, Yang shows more outright anger and her performance is even sloppier. She is never once shown to actually hit Neon until the end, instead being constantly toyed with and mocked by Neon all while she’s being played with. And at the end, she wins because Neon lost her balance on the uneven terrian. Yang never once showed that she understood that weakness of Neon’s nor that she intentionally guided her to that terrain for an advantage rather than it just being luck because of the widespread damage she was doing.
Vs. Adam, Yang flung herself at Adam (a guy who beat Blake, her partner, without a scratch) with no way of maneuvering in the air as he stared at her, meaning he saw her coming and could counterattack. A counterattack that could have KILLED her or at least made so that Blake, who was possibly immobile and bleeding out, would need to save her.
Yang’s anger has bitten her in the ass in the narrative, even in a fight Tai saw. This isn’t up for negotiation.
Furthermore, the “what happens if you miss” comment is so ridiculous I don’t even know how to start other than saying we literally saw exactly what happens when Yang misses her first attempt in Volume 2! When her semblance is being revealed! And the answer is... she gets another shot.
And if they’re stronger... like not using the thing that makes her ridiculously powerful is certainly not going to help.
Oh for fuck’s sake-
Taiyang: Because not everyone else's is basically a temper tantrum. (laughing and crouching by her side) I'm serious! Once you take damage, you can dish it back twice as hard, but that doesn't make you invincible! It's great when you're in a bind, but what happens if you miss? What happens if they're stronger? What then? Now you're just weak and tired! You've always been one to burn brighter than everyone else, whether it was with your smile, or, well, I remember your first haircut.
He playfully tugs the hair on the back of her head. Smiling, Yang bats him away. He chuckles and gets up, walking away a few paces with Zwei just behind him.
Taiyang: But you gotta keep your emotions in check. Keep a level head, and think before you act. Your Semblance is a great fallback, but you can't let yourself rely on it. It won't always save you.
He lowers his head, sadness creeping into his tone.
Taiyang: Obviously. You definitely have your mom's stubbornness.
Taiyang faces one of the trees, not looking at Yang. Between the two of them, Zwei moves his head back and forth as each speaks.
-
Taiyang: Well, as I have been informed, you're an adult now, remember?
-
Taiyang: Don't be. Raven was great in so many ways - her strength, her ambition, her dedication to whatever cause she thought was worth fighting for.
He turns around.
Taiyang: I'm proud of how much of her I see in you. But, I'm glad I don't see all of her in you.
-
Taiyang: Your mother was... a complicated woman. Like everybody, she had her faults, but those faults are what tore our team apart. And, it did a real number on our family. You both act like the easiest way to tackle an obstacle is through it. (pointing at Zwei) That strength is all that matters in a fight. But if you just take a second look, then maybe you see... (walking toward her, stepping around Zwei) there's a way around as well. (extends hand) Come on - one more before dinner.
You do realize that the last paragraph is usually the most important as it summarizes the person’s point right? That bitching about those two lines don’t really work right?
His point was that Yang was being bullheaded and not using her head, which her anger caused.
And honestly... Yang doesn’t do what Tai says. He says it’s useful in a bind but Yang doesn’t use her semblance only in emergencies from here on end. In fact, what she actually does is pick up some tricks from Pyrrha and she starts hiding her semblance from people!
And noticeably, Tai isn’t the one who tells Yang to fight smarter. That’s a line of thinking she develops on her own between the first and second times she faced Adam.
... A. So she stopped relying on it. Your reblog doesn’t prove anything about her not using it except in emergencies.
B. “ That strength is all that matters in a fight. But if you just take a second look, then maybe you see... (walking toward her, stepping around Zwei) there's a way around as well. “
Yes he did.
And then Tai takes credit for her “suddenly” getting better like she hadn’t successfully hit him so hard he needed to take a pause and the fight he did win was only because he attacked her when she was being vulnerable with him... her father who she’s of course not going to assume is going to attack her while she’s opening up to him... because she wouldn’t do that to Ruby.
Because it’s not like this was an established dynamic of theirs or anything...
Also gotta love that a clear show of joking on both ends is misrepresented deliberately to try and imply abuse. There’s a reason why I keep referencing the ‘Yang is a grumpy bitch’ argument- It’s the same damn thing you are doing, something I bet good money you have argued against in the past. Because it completely mischaracterizes Yang for their narrative. And yet here you do it to another character for yours.
And then we get to Yang’s last (real) episode of the volume when she’s setting out to get Ruby. Remember when I said Tai’s dismissiveness started to make sense and we’d come back to it? Well we’re back to it.
Note how Yang pointedly doesn’t tell Tai that she’s leaving, despite him having indicated to Port and Oobleck that the only reason he wasn’t also going after Ruby was because he was staying with Yang?
And how in the end he doesn’t leave with Yang to go find Ruby even though supposedly the only reason he hadn’t was because he wanted to make sure Yang was okay? And now Yang’s going after Ruby? Alone?
Paired with how pushy and condescending he was acting towards her in the other two Volume 4 episodes he was in, on top of having neglected and parentified her for at least a decade, this really reads as him wanting Yang to get better so he can shove her out the door to go after Ruby, and not him caring at all about her as a person.
(Which is why I really struggle to feel bad for him in his V8 scene... if he was so worried he could have been there).
And I guess Yang didn’t care about Ruby in Volume 8 until she suddenly hugged her in Episode 11. See, I can completely ignore context and obvious writing techniques too!
Also-
Ruby: (voiceover) He's going to take us to see Professor Lionheart, the Headmaster of Haven Academy. And he told us some things that you're gonna wanna hear, things I can't trust will make it to you in this letter. But maybe, if you join us, he could tell you himself. With Beacon gone they'll need Dad at Signal more than ever, and I know you need to focus on yourself before I can expect you to come out with me. But it sure would be great to get Team RWBY back together again.
They gave a fucking reason and considering your excuses for Yang rely on LESS- I expect this to be accepted. Or at the least, criticize the writers.
And we’re stopping there.
My god, I haven’t seen this much stretching since EruptionFang’s Adam/Raven videos. None of this holds up to scrutiny and the fact that you have to ignore that Yang was TRAINED by Taiyang, meaning he would have been a parent for as long as Yang was in Signal at least, kind of tells me what your standards are.
Thank god I find that RWBY Fairy Tales episode about Tai and Ruby to be inconsistent or else this would be even worse you.

Why did they create such a useless character to show Cinder's backstory when Salem is literally right there AND the real question the audience wants answered???
Imagine if it had been Salem who stayed at the hotel and saw something of herself in the scrappy servant girl. She saw how the Madame treated little Cinder and offered a way out only if Cinder has the power to be useful to her. Maybe she put Cinder to a test of how far she was willing to go for freedom, or maybe Salem wanted something from the Madame that she wouldn't give so it was up to Cinder to provide
Either way, Salem gets a young disciple that's ruthlessly ambitious and easy to manipulate and Cinder gains the illusion of freedom under a new master
#rwde#ofc salem wouldnt be grimmified in this version bc she'd stand out too much to do under the table shit#or she still could be but the world actually looks like an anime like it did in the beacon days#v4 on is far too grounded in reality design-wise#where the hell are the folks w wild ass hair colors and styles?? the most we get is joannas green but she says like 10 words so who cares#tis some bullshit and why i refuse to call v4+ rwby an anime#anyway this was somehow prompted by me comparing vergil to cinderella#as you can see i am Completely Normal tm#ngl tho vergil is a better cinderella if instead of riches-rags-riches its power-powerless-power#cinder starts at the bottom so her baseline mentality is way off if you want to do a cinderella remake#rags to riches is abt underdogs clawing up the social ladder against all odds#but riches rags riches is abt reclaiming what was yours#if we use cinders random disdain towards schnees in v8 as inspiration we could have a story of rival businesses#cinders father gets booted from power/high society thanks to Jacques's maybe legal maybe not methods and meddling#could go several ways from there:#her father could die and she'd be left homeless and alone in the cruel underbelly of the wealthy and powerful#she could find work w the Madame and try to endure the abuse so she and her father can pay the bills#her father could straight up sell her to the madame#itd be a horrific way to learn the significance of power and how easily it can be taken#i wanna like cinder so bad but v5 on fucked her irreparably. she doesnt even dress well anymore ffs

I love Blake and her and Yang are amazing together.
Cope harder loser
No, you don't. You don't love Blake. You love Blek, Yang's girlfriend.
Blake Belladonna is a warrioress, a race rights advocate, and a staunch voice against corporate abuses.
Where is any of that in her relationship with Yang? It's not there. You can't find it, and aren't interested in it. Yang doesn't give a shit about those things and neither do you.
Enjoy your milquetoast girlboss ship for what it is, plain and watered-down and boring.

Out of curiosity. You said you aren't a fan of Lilith is there a reason why?
The bitch is a raging racist and I would rather have someone shove a poison ivy-wrapped cactus down my throat than tolerate her bitch ass.
Seriously, fuck her and those like her. In NO circumstances involving L*lith, do we gotta "hand it to 'em".

qrow being just so fine. like he doesn't know if his neices are alive or not, and he's just like "well I have hope suddenly even though that's not very characteristic of me"
winter calling back to why she hates her former mentor, like babe, why are you suddenly so holier than thou?
James having a gravestone at all? SO THAT WINTER CAN SHIT ON IT? WHY?????
the like... deificiation of team rwby? like why?? it doesn't make sense because in the same fucking clip they show people being discontent with what happened? why would you then be like "omg these perfect beings who had a plan to save us and send us..... here"
I'm nsiejdisjjd I'm fucking so tired I cannot.
#rwde#the bullshit#the most ridiculous thing to do#youll not get a red cent from me#i am sweating im so mad

five seconds in and im already complaining about the WEIRDNESS about the happy huntresses lmao like the commentary hasnt even started and im pissed
like... why is may marigold characterized to be the angry aggressive mean person. like regardless of her right and validity to hate her family (that are seemingly the only transphobic people in the world for some reason in this society that supposedly values individual creativity and uniqueness) you still made the choice to have her, the first trans character, to state that she doesnt care if people die. she spends her entire time on screen being aggressive towards are hyperfemme characters in their skirts and dresses. *I* understand that there are masc transwomen and androgynous transwomen and there isnt a RIGHT way to be trans but did may marigold have to be the one of all the happy huntresses to act that way? why could she not have been characterized like fiona, who is happy and proud and FEMININE
not to mention you have this equally aggressive character in johanna, one of the darkest speaking characters to date and butch as hell, contrasted against robyn "we gave her a male model" hill, as if thats not weird in of itself like yall are NEVER beating the sexual dimorphism in ur characters allegations!!
thats not even touching on the absolute snorefest their Uniforms are-- have i mentioned how much i fucking HATE the designs in this show-- and the absolute failure to actually pay homage to robin hood or idk make the fucking happy huntresses matter?? what a waste of fucking time
#also i hate how they spelled robyn with a y#literally 'womyn' type shit virtue signalling weirdo BULLSHIT#i hate these ladies sorry for being misogynistic it will happen again#rwde#v8hlc

I know people have talked about the change in animation art style in season 4 and 5, but is anyone talking about how it's... Cartoony? people talk about the animation style has greatly improved, but I'm talking about the art style. I heard that the creators said the lighting system between softwares is very different: and maybe that's why everyone seems to have a softer look to them, but it just badly reminds me of vol 4 RWBY's changes in animation styles. Everything looks...rounder. softer. goofier.
I really only found people on reddit talking about it

Oh Arrowfell you are testing the limits of my patience and we are only a scarce 30 minutes in. RWBY acts all high and mighty and right in not trusting James immediately because he has to “earn” their trust. However they do not hesitate to trust a man they met thirty seconds earlier with technology they have no idea what it does and where it came from because he basically pinky promised he could be trusted. They then also immediately trust Olive who works in Atlas because he also pinky promises she is trustworthy. Despite the fact that he also insisted taking the orb to James was dangerous because it could be military tech. But Olive can be trusted despite....working for the military.
If their was at least consistency in the rules of who RWBY trusts I would be at least a little less annoyed but RWBY just hands out their trust willy nilly to literally everyone EXACPT James. It’s absolutely bonkers to me that RWBY makes this whole stink about needing to be careful who they trust only to blindly hand over something potentially dangerous to a literal stranger whose name they heard maybe in game for the first time an hour earlier. I would just like to know why the fuck RWBY decided that was a good idea.

You aren't anything like the callout doc suggested, Seeker. You are, in fact, much worse, and an actual fucking criminal.
You committed impersonation and defamation of certain people, including one FRIEND of mine.
You need to take a break from the internet and get some help, seriously, if a webseries is enough to drive you into such horrible actions.

"Ruby wouldn't be angry at Jaune because she would understand it was Penny's choice" as if grief over losing a close friend again after going through so much to save her again wouldn't manifest in absolute rage that blocks out suicide fetish logic. The writers refused Ruby her anger not only to protect their precious Jaune, but because they think certain emotions are evil
I'm constantly thinking about Blake in V5 attributing spite to Adam as if it's a bad thing. Spite is the emotional version of "hold my beer," and is responsible for some incredible things
Lord of the Flies by William Golding is a spiteful response to The Coral Island by R. M. Ballantyne, a story with the same premise of several middle class English boys being stranded on an island. Where Ballantyne has the boys having "wonderful adventures" such as... saving women and children from being killed and eaten by the native Polynesians, Golding depicts the boys falling into savagery as time and isolation grows their paranoia to the point where they start killing each other. Golding was pissed at the saccharine portrayal of English boys as the height of humanity because he was a teacher who taught that exact demographic and damn well knew better
After a teacher said he wasn't smart enough to get into college, Huey P. Newton taught himself how to read and got into law school. When the college committees were more into intellectual talk than action, he said, "Fuck this, I'm gonna make my own group," and he did! It became an international organization that had the FBI shitting themselves! That's the power of spite, baby!!
The writers are using emotions as a shorthand for a character’s morality, which is why Ruby can't be mad at Jaune without losing her status as a hero and why Adam's anger at injustice makes him irredeemable from day one. Ruby's ptsd disappears with a triumphant smile and musical number while Ironwood's vilifies and dehumanizes him even after his death
The writers have tied "negative" emotions to evil and "positive" to good when they're neither. Emotions are a body's response to stimuli, similar to goosebumps and crying. Think of it as a "check engine" light on your car's dashboard. What someone does because of their emotions can be good or bad, but emotions in and of themselves are morally neutral
Really wish people would learn that
#rwde#the demonization of anger is particularly troubling esp in the context of injustice#like??? sorry people dont wanna be sally sunshine abt their rights being taken away#i think it falls into respectability politics and 'the good victim' idea#the only victims considered strong are the ones who take their abuse with grace and poise#youre too weak if youre crying and scared bc of your trauma#youre too afraid if you build walls between you and the world bc of your trauma#youre too hysterical if youre pissed off and lashing out bc of your trauma#the only respected way is to grin and bear it until the abuse stops#which is absolute bullshit#people deserve to have any and every emotion without immediately being judged for having the 'wrong' response#we have so many emotions for a fucking reason!!!#and its super unhealthy to repress any emotion for long periods of time!! thats why so many people are miserable these days!!#fuck that sally sunshine perpetual positivity bullshit. let a mf be pissed off#and for characters let them be pissed off and wrong!!#let them lash out and hurt their friends or smash a car or punch a wall bc thats character conflict!! its drama!#its an opportunity for characters to grow and atone for their mistakes and ask for forgiveness they may not get#let rwby characters be full fledged people i am BEGGING

I want to know how Bees supposedly break bisexual stereotypes because the stereotypes I've seen for bisexual wlw pairings as of late are 1) one is an open flirt while the other is a meek submissive, 2) trauma bonding, 3) one has a bob cut the other has long hair, 4) they get with a woman at the end and it's seen as "correct", 5) one partner in the pairing has a habit of dating people similar to a past abuser.
And Bees checks off each and every one of them.
You know what would have been more groundbreaking? Having both bisexual leads end up in different pairings. One just happens to end up with a guy, the other just happens to end up with a girl, there's no trauma bonding, and both their respective partners are a different kind of sexuality/gender identity. And have some melanin. And different hair lengths.
Literally anything else would have been far more groundbreaking that what we have with Bees.
The bees aren't groundbreaking because it's 2023.
Much like the ill-fated Destiel canonization, the show waited far too long for LGBT representation of any flavor--least of all blatant cash grabs to save a financially spiraling show--for it to really matter. It was simply not going to be the revolutionary thing its stans kept insisting it was by the time they got it.
I don't think Blake and Yang needed to look different or be in different pairings to be good LGBT rep. I think they needed to be in a better show that doesn't have the tiniest fucking testicles ever witnessed--talkin' to you, Miles.

Bitch wtf?!!!
Listen I have my own disagreements and agreements on Hazbin Hotel but at the same time I don't think the angels from Hazbin Hotel is a great example of Israel
From what I know angels from HH are unaware of the Genocide of hellborns are disagree with it. Zionist and majority Israel population IS aware of what they are doing and support the Genocide.
Avatar the Last Airbender is better on portraying a Genocide that HH
Long Post Ahead. Trigger Warnings: Mentions of Sexual Assault, Genocide, Naz*s, Deaths, and War.
Look, I don't really give a shit about the whole morality of Hazbin Hotel because the show is fucking mediocre as shit to me, but let's just make one thing clear for everyone. Thanks for showing me this shit, homie, cause this coming rant?
This is mostly aimed at the fucker in the screenshot m/ultishipper and others like them:
If you compare an ongoing genocide that has caused thousands of casualties, real-life deaths of innocents including children, to a fucking fictional media.
YOU ARE A FUCKING GHOUL AND I HAVE NO SYMPATHY FOR YOU.
We can discuss the presence of genocide in a show for days and I wouldn't give a fuck, but to take the suffering of war victims to boost up your asinine, anti-RWDE bullshit immediately takes you to the lowest depths of hell, m/ultishipper, and nothing will ever fucking change the fact that you are SCUM.
These are REAL fucking people. Not a fucking comparative element for anyone to compare to FICTIONAL CHARACTERS who cannot fucking do anything. They. Are. Not. Real. And I am fucking done with the RWBY bootlickers who make these kinds of fucking comments as a gotcha to RWDE.
I've seen a fucking edit of Ironwood sitting next to P*tin during the beginning of the Ukrainian crisis. I've seen posts of fuckers like this making Ironwood out to be a fascist and comparing him to N*tanyahu. I've seen so many fucking people calling fans of Ironwoods fascists and Naz*s, it's not even fucking funny.
STOP. THAT. SHIT. The casualties and horrors of war are NOT for you to fucking exploit, m/ultishipper, just because you love to such dick for a company that does not give a fuck about you. Don't fucking act like you're innocent either, because *I* had to block you last year after you fucking call me an abuse apologist as well as other vile ass shit. and that's not mentioning your countless abuse towards other RWDE blogs, many run by women of color and other marginalized groups.
I don't doubt that there have been death threats; yeah, RWDE isn't a monolith, and no one deserves to be treated like that over some trash-ass Texas anime. But guess what? DO FUCKING NOT ACT LIKE YOU AND SIMILAR BITCHED HAVEN'T DONE THE SAME THING AND WORSE.
So far, you ass-eaters have:
Call me an abuse apologist, a misogynist, a queerphobe, a racist, a dictator lover, and a pedophile over a FUCKING SHOW.
Harassed MULTIPLE RWDE blogs, many run by marginalized people, and called them similar shits for disagreeing with you, completely forgetting that some of them are SA survivors, in which calling them pedophiles and similar things makes you a SEXUAL AGGRESSOR.
Sent death threats to blogs for disagreeing with your bullshit and bullied many artists out of the FNDM for "shipping the wrong ships".
Make excuses for the abusers working at RT, who have a long fucking list of violence against people, while still calling us abuse apologists.
FUCKING CALLED SHEENA OUM, MONTY'S WIDOW, A MURDEROUS BITCH AND BLAMED HER FOR HIS DEATH AFTER RT KICKED HER OUT OF HER HUSBAND'S PROJECT.
Degrading the works and involvement that Dillon Goo and Shane Newville have on RWBY, even though they were with Monty since the beginning the same way MK was while uplifting the latter who continues to exploit queerness in characters to sell their show.
Blamed and bullied Kdin, who was abused by her place of employment for years, for said abuse while making excuses for your faves who made years of her life hell.
Ignored the many, MANY, animators and employees at RT, who were abused, laid off, and in some cases, DISABLED, by the awful working conditions there just for your dumbass show to continue at their expense.
Made comparisons between RWDE posters and NAZ*S. Who fucking does that?? There's a fucking screenshot of someone on Reddit literally claiming that if H*tler was a RWBY hater, WE would hang Swatzik*s to support him. FUCK YOU.
And right back to now, comparing real casualties of war to a fucking show as a gotcha to people you do not agree with.
I hope that you assholes find a conscience soon for your own sake. Because if this is part of your legacy, may you fucking rot in hell.
Thank you to the person submitting this to me. Only for showing me the depths of depravity this scumbag can go to though; making me read that shit was torturous and I will now pour 6 oz. of salt into your soup tonight.
