RWBY News!
Just because your trauma and post-trauma and mental illness donāt manifest the same way as Jamesā doesnāt make it bad writing. I, and several other people I know, understand exactly where James is coming from and understand exactly why heās doing it. Not because weāreĀ āgiving CRWBY the benefit of the doubtā but because this is how trauma manifests for us. This is how we react to things when weāre pushed too far.
Plenty of people in RWBY with trauma have reacted differently to trauma, have recovered, have gone on to be better people (see: Ruby, Qrow, Taiyang, Blake, Yang, Weiss, Jaune, to name a few). Itās okay to have one characterĀ with PTSD go off the deep end in a way that is incredibly relatable to so many of us.
I donāt have the power James does. I donāt have the scope or the people. But I have fallen like this. I have destroyed my life and every relationship I had. I have hurt people, on purpose, because I thought I was doing the right thing. I have compromised my morals in the hopes of winning and hitting a point where I thought I could justify it. And you know what? I couldnāt. And it took a long, long time to come back from that, and plenty of people never forgave me.
Donāt tell me James is unrealistic, donāt tell me James is ableist, donāt tell me James is bad writing, because we have other rep, we have other examples, and I know plenty of people, including myself, who relate so much to this man right now in ways we never thought we would see on a screen.
Something can hurt you without it being objectivelyĀ ābadā. You can just say you donāt like it. Youāre allowed to just not like something. I donāt like Cinder! I just donāt! Thereās nothing wrong with that and nothing wrong with liking her! But Iām not sitting here flooding her tag with bad takes and shitty opinions and downright rude, attacking bullshit, because I donāt like her.
You can just dislike something.
And just because you donāt like something doesnāt make it bad writing.
I was out with some friends today, making a character for a DnD one shot thatāll happen next week. And I get home to discover the mess that was finally made public about RT. And Iām disappointed. In RT, for the shit they put their employees through, in the world, for being such that this could have happened in the first place, and in myself for not even being surprised, just tired. And in myself for having a FIRST membership, and maybe funding some of this bullshit.
I love RWBY. And in fairness, Kdin has said that they would work with CRWBY again (even after the shit they were put through during their time with RT). Nothing suggests that CRWBY is a rotten part of RT. But it is a part of RT. And Rooster Teeth is clearly rotten.
I wish I had the money to buy RT from Warner Bros and clean house myself. But I donāt. So I guess my only option is to walk away. Maybe I pirate RWBY after this. But I hate piracy (for myself - no judgement for others). Maybe this is just as far and the story of RWBY goes for me. But if I just keep to myself and hope it will all go away, then, in some way, Iām complicit in all this. Which would probably be the worst option of all.
Fuck.
Ya Dead Ya Dead...accept for when Ya NOT Dead and Ya Back, and Ya Monster but only sometimes, because sometimes Ya Dead Ya Reset so Geoff won't be sad.
I love the new YDYD title.
this idea brought to you by the turtle club
trevor watched the first fishing jamboree as a fan, weaseled his way into the company, became our boss, and finally won the fishing jamboree..... the year we donāt use fish
--established canon in fishing rodeo and jamboree IX
I have to cancel my first membership.
NOT because of some lame "dudebro" reason like "boo hoo I miss the old ah!!!" But because I have literally been too busy to watch more than 4 minutes at a time. which sucks for me but I'll be back. I will return like a foot fungus.
okay but that angry look cinder gave emerald
