#rwby question

Question does anyone like Blake aside from how her relationships with everyone, like just her personality and so on?

[one-real-wrimonkey]

RWBY fans help me out:

Are there any other situations where a characters hair changes during a season aside from the ‘new arc, new outfit’ effect.

Right now all I can think of is Yang having her hair sometimes down and sometimes in a ponytail in V4 and Winter’s hair falling out of the bun in V7.

Can anyone think of any other examples?

Does Emerald (from RWBY) know how to read? And if so, who taught her?

Stream of Thought RWBY: Why is it when it comes to “Morally Complex”villains...

That they and their fans always seem to lean so heavily towards needing to mass murdering/committing genocide while proclaiming what they do is “for the greater good”? Why is it then that when it comes to “moral complexity”, they seem to downright STRUGGLE with the idea of smaller scale morally complicated decisions having just as much validity as the bigger scale ones?

I apologize if the post below seems a bit of a jumbled mess; I kinda just wrote whatever was in my brain in relation to the OP,and it was more just pulling whatever incoherent-but-kind-of-relevant thoughts I had together. Not entirely sure it really answers the question, but more me wondering about something that I couldn’t help but question:

Original Post:

Original Question: Is RWBY Black and White in It’s Material?

The WF/ Faunus Plot is a big part of feeling simplified into a good V BAD, a problem of mine is 80-90% of it is through Blake’s prospective.

V8 Ironwood more of an option but Ch 10 and afterwards really felt cartoonish bad guy.

And a lot of stuff feels like you’re on team RWBY or wrong. (Have there been any arguments stating otherwise? Actually asking here)

My thoughts:

The problem I have with this is that there's an ugly insinuation that being "morally gray" means that we're supposed to act like people like Ironwood and Adam are supposed to be taken at face value as doing something "for the greater good", which almost always seems to translate to "murder a fuckton of people and then rationalize it afterwards".

It's frankly an irritating and horribly myopic aspect that I've noticed the more I thought about it of RWBY fandom (or in general a lot of fandoms)'s incredibly narrow perception of what constitutes as "morally gray".

Like seriously:

Why is it that so often, the only kind of thing we consider "morally gray" always involves someone committing genocide or mass murder and then being treated like they're just acting "for the greater good", when anyone who even remotely pays attention to the context and details of their actions realizes how full of shit they really are?

That they did have other options available, but they didn't want to take those other options because it was ultimately always about their own arrogance/pride/narcissism/inflexibility?

Arthas Menethil, MCU Thanos, Ironwood... it's fucking annoying as piss.

What's also pretty telling is just how often these same kinds of people oftentimes fail to consider, care or notice gray moral actions that DON'T involve mass murder, or quite frankly actively ignore any sort of nuance in the characters (usually the protagonists) they are so quick to judge as being "black and white morality" unless it happens to fall into the above category, or is something they just conveniently choose to say is "hypocritical" because they have this weird double standard where they want the protagonists to be more "interesting", yet lose their shit if those characters have any sort of nuance outside of being whatever shallow two-dimensional stereotype they assume the character is and also will only be.

Ruby's (and her teams') final plan for the fall of Atlas is morally gray because she had to basically sacrifice 2 physical locations to save as many of their inhabitants as possible because the two jackasses Salem and Ironwood literally destroyed every alternative they had until all they had left was the best of a bunch of really bad solutions, yet people are quick to pounce on them and act like they're the villains while lauding Ironwood as being "in the right" despite him being nothing but a colossal fuckup, who was ALWAYS IN CHARACTER despite the accusations of being "cartoonishly evil" because people only care about the version of the character they created in their head instead of the character he actually is.

Hell, long before that, Yang and Blake deciding to tell Robyn Hill about the Tower plan is morally gray because it meant risking going behind a (seemingly benevolent) dictator's back to help try to bring a freedom fighter over to their side to help the long term plan of re-establishing global communication, and in particular because it's also going against Yang's own morals/her own irritation of keeping secrets since now she's having to do the same against Ironwood.

I could go on and on about this, but frankly what I've gleaned from my own observations is that people have an incredibly narrow and myopic perspective on what constitutes as "morally gray", to the point that they just simply refuse acknowledge the nuances of any decisions that doesn't literally involve someone being allowed to commit blatantly evil actions while using the excuse of "for the greater good" to rationalize and justify it.

I don’t really have an answer for the Adam part of this yet, since this was very much just a stream of thoughts I had that I basically cobbled together, but...yeah.

RWBY question: 17/18?

So was it just me, or did they confirm in this RWBY chapter, that 17 years old is adulthood not 18; in the world of remnant?

Because that’s what it sounded like to me??? 🤔

Neo Politan fans, what's our thoughts on her Aura color?

Baseline, I can see her having 4 possible colors: pink, white, brown, and green.

The pink, white, and brown are self explanatory; neapolitan ice cream.

And the green is her eyeshadow. (Although, I admit, this one isn't truly a competitor).

Okay y’all, I just realized.

Is Adam wearing a t-shirt under his suit in Volume 1-3. Cause it looks that way. Like, T shirt with a suit. This is fashion goals. What the heck is wearing under his suit coat. Cause if its actually a t-shirt Adam moved into S-Tier on the character design tier list.

Okay but seriously as much of a shitpost as this is, what is he wearing under his suit coat? Cause that shirt doesn’t have a collar, so is it a t-shirt? What?! I NEED TO KNOW!
