I keep thinking about it, but I really don't get why the show, where the most massive conflict to date involved outlawing freedom of self-expression, where a big part of the story is the discrimination and division and the status quo of the world breaking into mistrust and war, didn't really integrate that idea into the main conflict.

Creativity and our ability to express ourselves are what define our individuality, what defines humanity as a species.

There's a reason why authoritarian systems always long to squash creativity. Things like imagination, dreams, and the expression of one's ideals are antithetical to an authoritarian mindset.

Then you have the concept of names coming from colors and how the color spectrum has always embodied diversity.

On top of that, you have the cold, calculating logic of some characters and the any-means-necessary mentality that exists with the assumption that understanding is impossible. Adam denies the very idea of coexistence and understanding. Raven denies the concept of weakness and communication. Ozpin embodies control and the necessity of secrets. Jacques forfeits weakness and empathy for profit and power. Characters like that exist within the story to tell the protagonists that understanding and empathy are not only impossible but detrimental. In hindsight, the likes of Ruby, Yang, Weiss, Blake stand as the polar opposites to those viewpoints.

Creativity, empathy, and diversity are key aspects of human nature that run counter to destruction and hatred. It's what justifies our existence, what can balance out the infinite amount of evil we unleash into the world.

That sounds like such a natural endgame focus! Literally having different colors overcome division and hatred!

Why are we not seeing Salem's outlook towards humanity explored this way? Why are we not seeing her belief be shown-not-told via the self-destructive nature of the worst of humanity? And afterward, why are we not seeing the narrative actually build a counter-argument to her nihilism?

We started the show with her narrating about human nature, we had WoR segments with her and Ozpin pondering the nature of humanity, and yet, where do we end up?

Instead, we have pseudo-religious Brother Gods and Chosen Ones appointed by (yet another) god, with the endgame being pseudo-biblical endtimes judgement by "gods" using magical McGuffins.

We wasted the Kingdom known for discrimination, racism, and classism by just having it be a backdrop for nothing, as we have our characters job to a pillar and then have a disappointing sea monster fight and slap a child, as they rush to the next place.

We turned the symbol of Faunus discrimination and the hell that they live in into a fun, cozy tropical paradise. And into a Twitter post about "burning and looting being bad".

We wasted the Kingdom known for corporate greed, Faunus discrimination, calculating logic, and human folly by just sidelining any semblance of conflict for the sake of some character assassination, Four Magical McGuffins, and a Giant Monster.

We literally destroyed the Kingdom of Everything's Fine Centrism offscreen in a PowerPoint presentation.

Why? Where are the themes? Where's the continuity? Where's the debate, the counter-arguments being presented by the narrative? Where's the villain's point being made apparent? Where are the arguments the good guys can use to counter it? Where are characters facing their own flaws and mistakes? Where's the character conflict embodying their ideals? Where are the characters having to overcome their differences? Where's the exploration of trust and how hard it is to come by? Where's the thematic crux of the story?

You'd think those would be the first things the show would figure out before jotting down any subplots up ahead...

Yet...

I just don't get why (or how) you would write anything that way.

Confession #1889

Confession #1887

Something that's been bothering me for a while now, is that the past few years have seen fic writers increasingly writing post-canon stories where Weiss recreates the SDC, or Willow took the reins back from Jacques early, or some other variation on that trend. The implication being that the SDC could be a force for good if someone with pure intentions took the helm.

Which is a complete load of bull. There is no such thing as a good billionaire.

It's astounding to me how many writers have just glossed over the part where Weiss' arc stopped being about the company, and shifted to being entirely about her family. That thing died when Atlas did, and there's absolutely no good reason to try and revive it. Why would you try to put Weiss back under her father's shadow? Why would you glorify an entity that is known primarily for exploitation and greed over the common good of the people?
