The way my fight or flight response is triggered when I read a bad take or someone just blatantly misreads RWBY or it’s characters is so insane. I don’t think I’ve ever been this defensive of a show before.
I think part of it is just the amount of absolute vitriol this show gets for no reason. If you don’t like the show that’s fine. There are plenty of shows other people love that I have zero interest in or just don’t care for. Sometimes a show just isn’t made for you. And that’s FINE.
But there’s just so much purposefully bad takes and bad faith criticism, and it feels so relentless sometimes. You can’t post something positive about it without at least one troll deciding that you liking and celebrating something you love is an insult directed at them as a person.
It can just be a lot when it feels like something you love is just constantly getting crapped on.
So let me say this again, with nothing but love and conviction:
I love RWBY. I love this show so freakin much. This show, even with all its flaws and stumbles, is my favorite show. Possibly ever. Most certainly of the last decade.
I love its themes and its message. I love the characters. I love the music. I love the animation, was even endeared by the Poser era. I love that it feels like the people behind the show love and care about it just as much. I love how each volume is another milestone, another mark to look back and go ‘see how far we’ve come?’
And not to be so melodramatic, but none of the trolls can ever take that away from me.
One of the best things about RvB trending on Twitter is the creators talking about it 🥹
What Kerry and Eddy have said: ah, it’s fun being creative! :)
What the fandom heard Kerry and Eddy say:
r/RWBYcritics/comments/16xd3g4/looks_like_eddy_rivas_is_doing_some_damage_control/
These people make me sick. Eddy is trying to explain what happened behind the scenes with Volume 9 but of course these toxic evil people decide to twist his words and say that he's doing damage control as a way to deflect criticism. The fact he is getting so much hate for just trying to explain what happened behind the scenes is just heartbreaking.
RWDE is a hate group.
There's no other way to put this.
Just wanting to enjoy RWBY is a personal offense to these people.
Neath Oum literally uses blockchain to block rwby haters, and of course r/rwbycritics and RWDE harassed him for it.
MOTHERFUCKING DISINGENUOUS
>"Ruby should have been mad at Jaune" is more subjective
THE ISSUE GOES BEYOND WHETHER RUBY BLAMED JAUNE FOR PENNY'S DEATH. IT'S THAT ON THE SUBJECT OF HER DEATH AND HOW RUBY FELT ABOUT IT, WE GOT FUCKING NOTHING FOR THE WHOLE VOLUME
PYRRHA DYING IN VOLUME 3 NOT BEING BLAMED ON JAUNE, I COULD AT LEAST UNDERSTAND. HIS BEST FRIEND CRIED OUT IN AGONY BEHIND HIM, PLENTY OF PEOPLE WOULD FUCKING LOOK REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH INFORMATION THEY HAD ACCESS TO. AND JAUNE HAD BARELY ANY.
AND PYRRHA CHOSE TO GO OFF AND FIGHT CINDER AFTER THAT. SHOVING JAUNE IN A LOCKER TO PREVENT HIM FROM STOPPING HER.
THAT IS LEAGUES DIFFERENT FROM LITERALLY STABBING HIS BLADE INTO PENNY'S CHEST INSTEAD OF TRYING HARDER TO HEAL HER, AND IGNORING THE MEDICAL OPINION OF A GIRL WHO LITERALLY BECAME HUMAN TEN MINUTES PRIOR. HOW THE FUCK WOULD SHE KNOW JAUNE COULDN'T HEAL HER?
TALENTLESS GODDAMN HACK, THE GODDAMN ONE PIECE NETFLIX ADAPTATION FITS MORE CHARACTER BUILDING IN AN HOUR THAN YOU DO IN FIVE.
Guys? Girls?
