I have seen people criticize clover for not telling robyn about amity and say it shows his blind loyalty going he knew what robyn was like but didnt tell her because of orders
again this mindset just screams of people a. not knowing basic military procedure & b. being willfully ignorant of the dynamics in the scene.
amity was a classified project, the only people in the know where people james trusted [the ace ops] or thought he could trust [rwby&co]. that’s it ! does no one know the meaning of classified project anymore, especially one as important as amity that salem & co would’ve been able to railroad to hell if they knew about it.
robyn’s not in the know because at every turn, she’s inserted herself where she isn’t allowed & specifically fucked up what james’ planning, she isn’t allowed to be in the know when she’s an outlaw masquerading as “the people’s hero” lmao. it isn’t clover’s place to disclose this information to her, to go against an order from his co. i’m not in the military & have little more than basic knowledge but i can imagine the ramifications of clover telling robyn against orders wouldn’t of been pretty if this show had been written by people who knew a lick about the military. @iron-and-ice feel free to jump in here if you like lmao.
following orders is not blind loyalty, it’s clover’s job. you know what was blind loyalty? everyone in _wbyjnroq following ruby’s word without any discourse in the group beyond a tiny 1 minute scene after 4 volumes of doing so wholesale.
