RWBY Rants

  I love this show, but it has problems. Let's talk.  

[rwbyrantsblr]

Blake compares Yang to her abusive ex-boyfriend, literally bringing Yang to tears, and people would have you believe that it was supposed to be some sentimental angsty ship moment and not a horrifyingly callous and entirely out-of-pocket thing for Blake to do.

[dragynkeep]

keep in mind: this is the last interaction blake & yang have before the attack on beacon & yang then losing an arm to keep blake alive. this is what precludes blake abandoning yang without even a letter or even a simple goodbye, after yang had put her own life on the line for her without a second thought.

fuck blake. her entire arc in this relationship is how she "didn't deserve yang" & she was right.

I know this is difficult for RWBY fanatics to understand, but criticism includes disapproval.

Constructive criticism and criticism are two different things.

Posting as part of the "Name a bigger downgrade" challenge on Twitter.

These were some of the worst design and outfit downgrades in RWBY history.

Weiss and Blake’s hair look terrible, Blake’s catsuit looks incredibly uncomfortable for winter weather, and Yang’s suit looks like a burlap sack. Ruby’s outfit is the only one that is acceptable at best.

I was watching Power Pak's "Goodbye Overwatch" video and, to me, and this clip regarding how scummy Blizzard is applies just as much to Blizzard as it does Rooster Teeth.

Please watch the full video.

Nitpick November #1

I really dislike Blake’s Volume 7 outfit due to how unrealistic it is, but it really does her no favors, especially in terms of its modeling. Her chest looks terrible. Noticeably terrible. 

I don’t care what the excuse is. Boobs don’t work like this. Boobs don’t look like this. 

RT wanted to give her a skintight catsuit so badly that they forgot how boob physics work. 

Short nitpick, but that’s what this event is for. I don’t like the catsuit, I don’t like the texturing they’ve done, I don’t like the color scheme they used, I don’t like her new haircut, I don’t like her new model, and I especially hate her new overemphasized boobs. It looks like she taped two tennis balls to her chest.

Not a fan.

So, I found this a couple of days ago from a months old video talking about Rooster Teeth's glassdoors. This is Brian Arndt who worked on V4 and 5 of RWBY. I mean I don't know what else to add other than yeah it checks out.

The last line in this photo is hilarious to me. Lilith purposely looks for the most pointless of scraps to accuse people she dislikes of being part of the “RWDE Hatejerk”.

“You absolutely do not have any respect whatsoever for anyone at RT/CRWBY” is such a blanket statement to make against someone with no proof. It’s a fallacy in itself.

This behavior is vaguely familiar to Canonseeker as well.

[rwbyrantsblr]

Yes, RT, of course there’s low demand. Nobody in their right mind would pay to watch content that was free in previous years.

RT's transparency is as shoddy as ever. This information regarding RTX should have been a Tweet posted to their main account, not a reply to a questioning fan. 

[rwbyrantsblr]

I find it hilarious that Canonseeker posted this, considering they blocked me before ever interacting with me... and then proceeded to talk shit about me (and other RWBY critics). 

What a hypocrite. 

They're truly a stain on the RWBY fandom.

[strykingback]

Way to embarrass yourself again RWBY FNDUMB way to do it again….

Making a meme about an actual event where people on both sides ARE BEING KILLED IN REAL LIFE. Like did this person actually THINK before they posted about how insensitive that post really was. The post is deleted but still….. it was very insensitive 

Link for context also note that the OP has since removed the post and this but please do not WITCHUNT THEM : https://rwbyrantsblr.tumblr.com/post/677215735969382400/leaked-volume-9-footage-you-are-disgusting-do

[kitkatopinions]

I just think it’s very strange to me whenever I see that there’s this ‘rwde posters are trying to destroy RWBY’ idea that some people have. There aren’t very many of us at the moment, even fewer who are active every day, and lots of us go out of our way to make our content hard to find or easily filterable. It’s both funny and kind of sad. If we are trying to destroy RWBY, someone forgot to let me in on that goal! XD

[catsintei]

You are disgusting.

[oddlyhale]

Do you need a reason why to never respect the RWBY fandom? Do you need a good reason to never even touch the show? Look no further than the RWBY fandom making light of such a horrific, tragic time in our lives.

[rwbyrantsblr]

People in the RWBY fandom need to understand that sometimes it's okay to just... not. It's okay to not make the edgy meme or joke that's in poor taste.

People are dying, on both sides of the Ukraine/Russian conflict.

This isn't some fictional war, it's real life conflict that will take lives and traumatize countless others. 

The RWBY fandom needs to stop making light of such tragedies. This type of behavior is not okay and should be criticized and called out.

Posting these screenshots of the court documents I read on RH and Rooster Teeth, they are not mine at all, I found them on twitter [here] and rushed to log into this old blog.

MAJOR cw for sa.

[dykeypookster]

There's so much proof Bumbleby is most likely bait I dont understand why people deny it. Denying it will only make things worse for you. Writers see youre alright with it and keep doing it. I want to see the bees canon as much as yall but all this ass kissing yall do only make things worse.

Firstly Fairgame paralels since FG was bait as well:

There's more but I dont want to make the post too long. There's paralels in show and you should check out this post, with examples of how crwby hyped it out. I wonder what other lgbt ship gets hyped up like that as well.

Secondly: Miles, one of the main writers of the show, has said some pretty homophobic things and people ignore that?

He regrets not making Pilot Boi gay EVEN AFTER PEOPLE EXPLAINED BYG TO HIM. So he doesnt give a fuck about our feelings as long as the show gets popular. He feels bad because he thinks *his sexuality would've made him more popular and thus the show more popular as well*

He doesnt view wlw relationship as valid. There's this post where he jokes about how he and his gf got drunk and she made out with another girl. He enjoyed it and joked about it. Would he have reacted the same if it was a man instead?

https://twitter.com/RWBYRants/status/1297146520114954240?s=20

I'm not saying harass him (OR ANYONE for that matter). But how about we hold them accountable? This show, those writers, have given you NO REASON TO TRUST THEM. Yet you give away trust so easily. On the contrary, there's literally proof on why you shouldnt trust them, both in show and outside the show. If you happily accept their crumbs and bones nothing will change. Keep enjoying the show and the ship, but how about yall start being a bit more skeptical and let them know that you wont have any of their shit and that youre tired of it? Why do people kiss their ass so much for confirming half the LGBT characters off screen and giving 2 irrelevant characters with 3 scenes in total a sentence that confirms theyre LGBT. The only *decent* rep was Ilia but even she was a bit controversial.

Hey @rwbyrantsblr , I know this seems completely out of left field as we never spoken to one another before (I tried contacting you private but tumblr wouldn’t let me) but I noticed this tweet while browsing (I myself don’t have a Twitter account) and figured you should be aware this person was well known for being a harasser in the Madoka fandom

Now I can not say if she has watched RWBY or not , but I can say she’s far worse than some troll. Lilith here used to purposely go through the Madoka tags to argue about the show being sexist and when ever anyone dared to argue against that or even just say their own personal reason for enjoying the show, she’d make it into a massive fight and even sometimes make verge posts on how Madoka /dark magical girl fans are just “sexist men who get off to the suffering of little girls” (this included people who are queer as well as minors at the time)

She has since deleted her tumblr account on here after being called out for her behaviour but a good chunk of evidence is still on my blog , though I don’t mind digging through my own archive to find evidence if you are still unsure if what I say is true
