I think this may be the one time where yelling "Its a cartoon" would be appropriate. That man looks like he needs psychological help.

There's been numerous complaints about him using whatever disabilities he was diagnosed with to get away with what he did (which is mostly just verbal abuse on internet anyway), so yes, he does need psychological help. And people that know him for his harassing methods are fucking sick of him using whatever -tism he has to justify his childish actions. These are the actions of a toddler.
 
Just how bad can the fandom get? I stay away from it rightly because I don't want my brain to crater, but from the impression I got, it's almost as bad or worse than the Steven Universe fandom.

There's a solid reason behind calling Bumblebee shippers jihadists.
 
Bumblebee has always been something I supported because the implications are hilarious. You have two characters each with deep emotional issues, even though they come from loving homes, that never showed interest for each other falling in love after ganking an ex slave who's accomplished more in his life to help the world than the main team. Mind you that was after one of the members of this ship left their "soulmate that they have loved forever" to die. Both are abusive, both have short tempers and after the honey moon phase is over they are going to become stereotypes of an abusive lesbian relationship.

I mean you have Yang a girl from a broken family who she claims to love but habitual abandons. Both in the beginning and after she loses her arm, which I'll remind you she only went back to help Ruby after she got a robot arm, ignored her loving dads pep talk/training, and killed a drunk lecher. Her entire personality can be boiled down to cool chick with a hair trigger switch that solves problems by being violent, you know a psycopath. That and her semblance is all about her losing her temper.

Then you have Blake a literal Faunus PRINCESS who joins a terrorist organization when she thinks her parents aren't doing enough and leaves after the leader, a slave who not only lost one of his eyes to a branding but could never reclaim his identity due to the location of the brand, lost his patience with her. I know they always tried to paint it as Adam being abusive but the more you learn about Blake the more it comes off that Adam had her along as a strong ally for the future and eventually lost his patience for the spoiled rich girl telling him how to fight for his people rights. Not only is she physically abusive, see how she beats Sun for laughs but tends to gaslight others, Adam/Her parents/Sun, when they don't agree with her and shirks responsibility, all it took was one apology for her to forget she left Yang to die. She's fond of insults and jabs and will continue long after the person has had enough and has a tendency to hold a grudge, Slapping her was enough to put Adam on her kill list.

It's funny because in the real world anyone would look at this couple and realize they are the worst possible option for each other. Blake has the personality that would piss yang off and would constantly drive her over the edge, she would never take responsibility for her actions and will hold everything Yang does against her slapping and snipping at her whenever she'd feel vindicated. When the dyke eventually brakes and Blake gets a fractured skull Blake will use that as evidence to destroy Yang and use it to keep Yang in a subservient role or will at least try to until Yang beats her again.

In summation Bumblebee is the type of ship I would make if I wanted to make fun of lesbians by making a stereotypical abusive relationship and the people who champion it don't realize how much it reveals about them.

Dang. That's a level of precision and destruction I don't think CRWBY would ever be capable of, even with better writers.

FAN: (after sperging how inclusive and empowering Bumblebee is) "How do you write women and especially lesbians so well?"

MILES: "I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability."

The biggest plot twist in RWBY would be if we all underestimated the CRWBY and especially Miles. Like if the entire show was in reality not the misguided vision of an autistic manchild, but a gigantic social experiment conducted by Rooster Teeth.

It's interesting and all, but how many of the yuri-logicians just see two girls "flirting" because the showrunners say so and just disregard all the toxic implications? Sexy yuri times is all they can think of apparently.

Oh I know they aren't thinking about the logisitcs of the relationships they just see two characters having complimentary colors and a cute name and go "ooh they should be a couple". That's what makes it so funny.
 
So there's this new thing that encourages spreading love and appreciation in a fandom that's absolutely toxic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QSu2kPBGQ8&feature=emb_titl

Let's see how that fares-

Hannibal-esque breakdowns of shipping 'tism like this is always enjoyable.

I've been busy elsewhere, so I don't have a quip because my head hurts. https://ramblings-by-sasskage.tumbl...y-talk-my-opinions-on-rwby-critics-on-youtube

Several things to go over, but I have no opinions on Xiao Long, Muffin Man Dan, or Kaito due to not being as familiar with them.

It’s really no surprise that she likes Tommy best, but in regards to his critic stuff that was primarily Volume 5 crap and when the CRWBY decided to pander to the Shipping Jihadists for Bumblebee;was there a change in Tommy’s tune after this blatant “safe, pandering, Lesbian ship” had been on course for Canonization in which he became less critical, only to call them out over doing “BERRY UR GEIS!” towards Clover and Qrow, nevermind that the former barely even qualified for the Ambiguously Gay.

Vexed is a good critic because he really gets into the critiques such as Yang not even acknowledging Summer Rose as her mother, or that she and Ruby have so little interactions post-V3 that if you told someone these two were half-sisters it would catch them off-guard due to said lacking interactions. Also, this chick being offended by Vexed calling characters “wenches” is hilarious because Vex could call them far more worse derogatories and in the show they HAVE been called worse.

Cal is nothing more than a RWBY shill who joined in the Clover / Qrow nonsense (Even going far to make a god-awful video over LGBT shit), and girlfriend to Murder of Birds (Another shill), along with her exceptional behavior of wishing buses to hit people when she got her panties in a twist after Cuck Teeth got called out for not virtue signaling that their former VP got outed as a wife-beater;showing their Double Standard in regards to Vic Mignogna and Weeb Wars.

Adel is also a good critic, even if he occasionally rambles during certain videos;his video on why Jacques Schnee as a ”Antagonist” (At least one of somewhat) didn’t work because he’s primarily tied to Weiss, and we already knew that the Faunus shit wasn’t gonna come back after such a negative reaction they’ve had since their inception back in V1.

The less we say about V7 being a Trump Circlejerk, the better.

I found this interesting thread where OP speculates that Blake in this day and age is basically Arryn's self-insert instead of a character.

r/RWBYcritics - Blake Belladonna and Why She’s a Self-Insert of Arryn

I fully agree.

I think one comment put things in a pretty clear lens.
In my opinion, ( And I don't know any of them personally at RT) none of them were ready for fame at their level. When you become famous, unfortunately, you just have different experiences than people. And if you got famous for your work on a series, then your experience in the fandom is different than a lot of other people's. An example of this is a scriptwriter knowing ahead of time how his work ends. They will no longer have the surprise an audience does.

JK Rowling destroyed her credibility with fans because she kept introducing things and details. Most of them read like shit posts. However because she is the author of the series, it means all of those things are technically canon to the world of Harry Potter. This is another example, when you are heavily involved in the creative process, your words carry a lot of weight.

This is true in every fandom, and it is true in RWBY also. I remember when a theory circulated that Nora was transgender, due to her outfit in V7 having the colors of the trans flag. When the voice actress for Nora liked some of the tweets in regards to this, that's when the theory really began to pick up traction.

Fair Game picked up traction because of how many people in the writing process liked art, reblogged art, and interacted with the community who shipped it. Even if they never confirmed anything, they still showed a heavy amount of support which, right, wrong or indifferent got a lot of people excited and felt so angry when it didn't happen, and it ended the way it did.

Now how does this tie into Arryn? In my opinion, she carries herself very unprofessionally, especially when it comes to ships. If she were anyone else, just a fan of the series, it wouldn't matter. But she isn't. She's Blake's actress which means people who want their headcanons about Blake confirmed, or their ships for Blake confirmed cast their eyes her way to see what she has to say. She has a tweet where she said ' She felt it in her balls since day 1' in regards to BumblBY which lead to debates and flame wars about if it was planned from the start. She has tweets making ambiguous statements about if it's canon or not, getting people more invested in it.

Arryn can be a fan of the series of course. But as the actress for Blake, she has to carry herself much differently in regards to how she interacts with the community. As for the self-insert thing, I don't know her enough to say, but I definitely see her romantic history with Miles being a reason why Adam, Illia and Sun are all canon attracted to her ( and Yang, sure if you want to toss it on there. I don't see it myself but eh). A similar thing happened with Community, Britta was based on the girl the writer was dating at the time and so was added to a lot more scenes.
