>>2262884
>>2263049

Yes. Because sticking bows on the back of Yang's boots and messing up the skirt to pants ratio established with the the default outfits is good character design. Just no.

The only outfits they are better than are the Beacon uniforms, because those shouldn't even exist given that Beacon is a college, and the dance dresses, which also shouldn't exist. Also because Yang's is pure white instead of you know, yellow. Her actual color.

>>2263161
>which also shouldn't exist
>talking shit about Weiss's dress
Nigga you what.

>given that Beacon is a college
Technically, it's closer to a military school, given that they're training Huntsmen, and they're supposed to be elite contractors of sorts. Yes, the whole prom thing and the fact that students lack discipline and are left to their own devices most of the time makes it look like a college, but still. It's an official institution, and uniforms there aren't surprising.

Unless you're Vacuo scum who doesn't have enough money to afford a decent suit.

>>2263248
No. They only have uniforms because of the creators being massive weebs.

It's not a military school in the slightest. Hunters don't answer to a higher authority or anything like that. They freelance. The only time it makes sense for their to be uniforms is Atlas because Atlas pressures their hunters to join the military.

Beacon doesn't. Haven doesn't. Vacuo doesn't. Atlas should be the exception. But it's not, for some asinine reason. Because people can't accept they aren't making a freaking anime.

>which also shouldn't exist
>talking shit about Weiss's dress
>Nigga you what.

Just because it shows off the Schneeflake bearing hips doesn't mean it adds value to the show. The dance arc was stupid and never should have been done. It's full of massive gaping holes in logic.

HOW CAN NO ONE ASK PYRRHA TO THE DANCE? THERE ARE FOUR SCHOOLS WORTH OF HORNY TEENAGE BOYS AT BEACON, THEY'D BE DARING EACH OTHER TO TRY.

It's just so stupid and ignorant of how people work.

>>2263278
>Hunters don't answer to a higher authority or anything like that.
They don't, after they graduate. However, Huntsman Academies are official institutions that are most likely funded by their respective Kingdoms, and students from each Academy has to represent it during activities such as the tournament from V3. Again, it makes sense for them to have uniforms and/or some sort of symbolic every student has to wear to distinguish them from regular civilians or students from other Academies.

And it's not like there aren't cases in the modern world where colleges and universities have compulsory dress codes, especially some elite/private ones.

>doesn't mean it adds value to the show
It's a fucking outfit, mate. It's not like Ruby's default skirt adds much value to the show, either, but I don't see people saying she should be jumping around naked.

>>2263283
They don't wear the uniforms outside of classes. So, no. Your argument makes no sense.

>It's a fucking outfit, mate. It's not like Ruby's default skirt adds much value to the show, either, but I don't see people saying she should be jumping around naked.

Well, it adds value by being an actual good design. Something the show is lacking lately.

>>2263283
They aren't funded by the kingdoms. The school and goverment are separate in all cases except for Atlas. As stated on Volume 3 Chapter 3.

>>2263286
My argument is that there's nothing weird about an elite school requiring students to wear a uniform for whatever reason, whether it's to make the students stand out or because the dean has a fetish for girls in uniforms. I don't see how it disproves that.

>Well, it adds value by being an actual good design.
By the same logic, Ruby's prom dress adds value because it has a decent design.

>>2263287
They have to get their funding somewhere, and it's not like you have to be a part of the government to get money from it. I guess they could get a percentage off paid contracts they offer to willing Hunters/students, but I highly doubt it's enough to sustain an institution that big.

Then again,

>My argument is that there's nothing weird about an elite school requiring students to wear a uniform for whatever reason, whether it's to make the students stand out or because the dean has a fetish for girls in uniforms. I don't see how it disproves that.

Because they don't stand out. They don't wear them off campus or anything. And yes, it is weird for an elite school to require uniforms. They aren't a high school.

>>Well, it adds value by being an actual good design.
>By the same logic, Ruby's prom dress adds value because it has a decent design.

Anything with Ruby in heels is awful by default. And no, it doesn't. Because the prom dress requires prom to exist. And prom is the lowest point of the show.

>They have to get their funding somewhere

Probably from all the kings' money. Or tuition.

Especially taking into account that their society is built on self-expression.

That too. It's a society built on creativity and special snowflakeness. Which Ozpin freaking endorses. Why would he make his school that way is beyond me.

>>2263297
>it is weird for an elite school to require uniforms
No it isn't. A great many private schools do. Especially military academies.

>They aren't a high school.
Beacon might as well be. They are all high school aged and everything they deal with in school is high school-esque, including the dance.

I'm not that anon you've been arguing with, but reading through this conversation I think you might be autistic. Like, actually autistic. You seem to have an unnatural dislike for the alternate uniforms simply because they are a change from the default, and I don't even know how to approach something like "messing up the skirt to pants ratio established with the default outfits" without assuming that there is something legitimately off about you.

But ignoring that. The default outfits are all pretty bad. Yang's is easily the worst, it's some shitty rip off of Tifa mixed with some sort of shitty cowboy. Also it has about the same amount of yellow as her hunter outfit, which really doesn't matter either way since having a color doesn't mean you need to be fully decked in in 24/7.
>black spandex shorts with a poofy armed leather jacket and a bright orange scarf
Like what the fuck, who thought this was a good idea.

At least the hunter outfit has cohesive colors (also it's cream, not white) and is made up of actual clothing that looks like it wasn't taken from three random people.

It's part of the outfit. So, no. The whole design is wrong.

17 being the average age for year 1 of 4 is basically college.

>>2263531
Firstly, Volume 4 ended recently. Chibi 2 confirmed for May and Volume 5 this Fall.

About volume 4...
Very rushed pacing. The whole volume is feels like a transition scene between 3 and 5. Instead of focusing on building upon the ideas introduced in 3 they lay the foundations for them to be explored in a later volume while introducing brand new ideas that also only get a setup for later rather than get developed now.

Debatably, there is a lot of wasted runtime as well. Sun spends a whole volume with Blake, but their relationship doesn't change from pre-volume 4 to its end (they stay friends) and we learn nothing about him we didn't know before. He is also used by the writers to prevent the audience from learning new things about Blake to an extent in what is the most frustrating sequence of events in RWBY to date.

If you like Weiss you should watch it I think. Her plotline was fairly well handled and her relationship with her family is interesting on screen. Though, once again, it may feel rushed.

RJNR is good overall. Ren and Nora get runtime and put it to good use. Yang is- Well, the poor girl never seems to catch a break from the writers, or should I say she has too much of a break?

>>2263540
Ruby is pretty much a non-entity, I mean she's there but it somehow feels more like JNR's story.

I can't think of a single time we get a proper insight into what Ruby is feeling beyond the Qrow exposition episode and even then it's just "I'll do my best!"

Just one fucking conversation between her and Qrow while he's poisoned and she's poised to lose another parent figure would have done.

>>2263543
Yeah, I should have also mentioned that. Ruby still has the most screentime and lines I believe, but she still remains one of the least developed characters in the show. I do think she did better this volume than past volumes, though, that isn't saying much I know.

Honestly, at this point in the show's lifespan, I think the writing is either going to turn out brilliantly* or horribly with little middle ground. Kinda like how volumes 1 and 2 look very poor without volume 3 to wrap it all together into something better than the sum of its parts. I think that's just the way the show is going to be. A repeating series of awkward and sub-optimal buildups to well executed climaxes.

That's assuming the RWBY crew is doing with volume 4 what I think they are doing. If not then fuck it.

*brilliant for an amateur first time production that has a very low budget

>>2263554
Totally understandable that you'd forget considering how forgettable everything to do with Ruby is.

She got shit-all this volume and maybe I'm just paranoid but half the time when I thought just Ruby was going to give us some standard plot driving protagonist lines Jaune just cuts right in.

In the exposition episode he's asking all the questions, I'm honestly concerned I've just started looking for reasons to despise this fucker now.

>>2263554
Actually, Blake of all characters ended up having the most lines this volume.

Fair considering how little she had in volume 3 until the very end.

Blake is really the only girl on the team other than Ruby that really fits the bill of being a main character though, thanks to the entire White Fang plot. Weiss lags behind and only really started coming into her own around mid-late V3 and into V4. Yang continues to do little other than exist.

>>2263743
No, Ruby has the most lines. Although she barely made the cutoff by being given a ten minute long soliloquy.

>>2264025
How though? Other than the ending monologue, what did Ruby actually do the entire volume?

>>2264266
Literally nothing of substance, the bulk of her dialogue is also just procedural lines to move a scene forward or state facts. Very little of the material Ruby receives adds to her character in any meaningful way.

This is why despite receiving the most line of any cast members it doesn't feel like it, Fuby is criminally under-developed.

I wonder if RT is trying to get Jaune's story out of the way before diving deeper into Ruby's?

Same with the other secondary characters. Get the bulk of their story for this part of the show's lifespan done so once each of the main girls's stories begin they don't have to constantly to explain what's new with Ren and Nora or Sun or whoever else.

I know it's just raw speculation, but it could explain the lack of development on certain ideas like Summer or Raven or Adam this volume. Once RT really gets into these big ideas they can just keep pushing with them without having to put on the brakes. It would be awkward to focus on Blake and Yang this volume only for Sun to be even more annoying than he already was by interrupting scenes related to them. So maybe Miles and Kerry thought it better to save it for after Sun?

Does that make any sense? I'm trying to stay optimistic here.

>>2264268
I'm curious what development people even want for Ruby. She's fairly well-adjusted and generally suited to the life she lives.

Other people get development because they have massive lurking issues, Ruby's biggest issues is the events that are happening right now.

>Jaune's story
>ever not being the centerpiece

On the more serious side, developing the secondary characters first so they don't have to worry about them during the main character's arcs is pretty ass backwards writing. They're secondary for a reason, let them get some development here and there, but never so much that they're eclipsing the main cast (which they are). Ren and Nora (and I guess Weiss) were the only characters to get solid development this volume. Everyone else is more or less exactly where they were at the end of V3.

>Planning on retaking the WF

She didn't have an arc in V3, her interaction with the White Fang was limited to brief scene with Adam in E11. Did you mean V2? Because that was a fairly different arc in which she was obsessed with finding and stopping the WF, as opposed to V4 where she is basically doing the exact opposite.

>>2264396
I think anon is referring to Blake's arc near the end of volume 4 where she is pushed into action by someone she cares about getting hurt.

In a sense, if Blake had started volume 4 wanting to reform the WF it would have made prefect sense seeing what happened in volume 3 and the build up that had preceded it.

It depends on how much you value the idea of Blake being punished for wanting to visit her family and taking a break rather than just going straight into defeating the White Fang. Volume 4 seems like it wanted to build on the idea that Blake can't ever catch a break from the WF even for a short time or for the best reasons. Like in volume 3 she was punished for thinking her past would never catch up with her while she tries to start a new life elsewhere.

I am a bit uncomfortable that the narrative is suggestion that Blake was always suppose to have selected the violent option and she was wrong for ever going for the peaceful route. I dunno, we'll have to see how far Blake goes with Sun's ideas.

And Blake did have an arc in volume 3 imo. Just a very small one with Yang to set up what happens in the penultimate episode. Though it is only apparent with hindsight really.

>>2264396
>Planning on retaking the WF

Which was not said until her final scene. Wouldn't it have been better to reveal this early on and spend her screentime working towards this, instead of dicking around worrying about the same old WF plotline that's failed to significantly develop at all for the entire series? We knew Adam would be a threat since pretty much the Black trailer, and other than him the WF as a plot device have failed to be anything more than faceless baddies to get beat up and be Blake's "muh past." I get the concept of build-up, but Christ it's been four fucking volumes, at least half of which where the WF plot had significant relevance to the overall story direction (V2 and 4).

It's like Blake and Yang's plots got swapped. After V3, Yang had the build-up of being an emotional and mental wreck. V4 comes, we get barely anything on that front, 90% of her recovery happens offscreen, and she ends up like 13th in total lines for the volume. Blake on the other hand, who just wanted to get away, instead seems to have picked up all of that screentime to show her emotions and crap, all of which we already knew about going into V4. She could've had 10% of the time she got and we would've gotten effectively the same amount of content about her story.

I don't dislike any of the main 4 girls, but Blake's tired whining about the same shit for 4 volumes is getting really old and making her character stale. She's like the opposite of the usual "wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle" approach to the characterization of the show's cast. She's got a lot of depth, but with the surface area of a needle.

Sorry for starting another whole "my opinion>your opinion" thing so soon, but I already typed all this shit up and it's not like the thread's that lively anyway.

Hopeful shipping mostly, but the other anons left out that there are narrative hints to at least one /u/ pairing between two of the main girls, but the actual in show subtext is pretty loose. It's there, but it doesn't really get built on directly and it's questionable if it is the creators just teasing fans or if they intend to build on it later.

>>2264455

This. As it stands there i'd say 50/50 chance at /u/ happening for one ship in particular.

But if it is going to be canon, it won't happen for years.
If you wanna get in just for the /u/ either wait for the series to finish or join us in the madness and make due with fan-fiction.

>>2264608
>other anons left out that there are narrative hints to at least one /u/ pairing

No, we deliberately didn't mention it because that is the hopeful shipping. There has been absolutely nothing within the show to suggest they'll end up together or even remotely feel that way about each other, they are just teammates/friends until something actually happens to indicate otherwise.

>>2264694

I already said it is mostly hopeful shipping?

Narrative-wise there are a few signs of a setup for a future romantic arc. Blake and Yang have the closest dynamic aside from Jaune and Pyrrha in volume 3 as well as Ren and Nora in volume 4. Though it is hard to tell for sure. We're so early in the main story still it is impossible to accurately predict where it will go. But the possibility remains and it is a fairly decent possibility since the Blake-Sun dynamic is nowhere near as strong which (to me) only makes sense if it was intended to have them end non-romantically. Though Blake and Sun failing to form a pair does not automatically mean Blake and Yang is around the corner. It is also possible none of the girls will end up paired at all.

A narrative setup isn't the same as actually going through with it, true. Which is also why I mentioned that it is questionable if the subtext that we have gotten (which is mostly one-sided flirting on Yang's part) is actually going to go anywhere or if it is just teasing.

Not every romantic story needs to begin as one and the substance in the Blake-Yang story is on par with the relationships that did start romantically. That's a sign of something, but I will concede it isn't a very strong one. Hence the word hopeful. At least it isn't blind shipping.

Like?

I'm sorry, but that's purely goggles.

Blake and Yang hardly even spoke until the conversation in V2, and Blake spent a couple days with Sun and was the one Blake opened up to first. He's also the one she went to the dance with in V2, he's openly expressed interest in her and she's blushed over him--not to mention that Sun is the one who's gone with her to Menagerie, met her parents and from the first volume has been the one most involved with the WF plot line.

>Not every romantic story needs to begin as one and the substance in the Blake-Yang story is on par with the relationships that did start romantically.
That was what I was trying to express. It's fairly misleading to tell anyone asking about yuri potential that there are any romantic hints between Blake and Yang when there really aren't. Just because they are friends and some other people who are friends have romantic subplots doesn't make being friends an indication of romance. PLus it's pretty silly to compare Renora and Arkos to BB hint wise, since:

>the substance in the Blake-Yang story is on par with the relationships that did start romantically. That's a sign of something
Is absolutely not true with regards to romance.

The first interaction on screen between Jaune and Pyrrha is Jaune wondering outloud where he'll find a nice quirky girl, and the romantic subtext in their relationship was extremely heavy from the start. Nora blushes over Ren and embarrassedly talks about not being "together, together" in the first monologue where she and Ren are introduced as characters.

This isn't to say that BB isn't an eventual possibility, but there is nothing within the first 4 volumes (i.e. the entire show up to this point) that implies romance between them.

>>2264809
Id hope it would end up as Yang hunting down Blake and having an emotional moment of Blake apologizing and Yang trying to stay mad but just hugs her and they both start crying. Then Sun gets the hint he has no chance with how Blake feels about Yang. And BB starts.

>>2264845
>RWBY
>characters showing actual emotions on-screen

>>2264840
Yeah, I gotta agree. As sad as it is, there's really no hint of anything there. And I love BB.

>>2264562
So lewd!

>>2264740
It also needs more romance

The White Rose moments are way too few

>>2264740
I think it's sad that as cliche and incoherent Kuma's story and grammar are, I do think the overarching plot and theme is much more clear and consistent than the actual show. And she actually manages to do what K&M could never do, that is to give RWBY decent exposure and development, and also make Sun and Jaune actually likable without having them hoarding all the screen time.

I mean, all it really takes to be better than M&K is just give a shit about team RWBY because M&K clearly don't.

>>2264840
>Sun has been the one most involved with the WF plot line.
I would agree if it weren't for this >>2264809
Adam cutting off Yang's arm forces Yang to be involved in the White Fang plotline.
Yes Sun has so far been more involved in WF stuff so far, but so far he has no direct emotional connection to that fight other than, being a faunus and his connection with Blake.

Yang got mutilated as she was trying to save her partner by, essentially, the leader of the White Fang. I'll give you all your other points, but I would argue that Yang is now more directly connected with the WF plotline(or maybe just the Adam plotline which is just as if not more important when it comes to Blake's arc) than Sun is. Right now Sun's involvement has been limited to "Eh, why not", and from this point forward a need to protect his Academy.

>>2265043

Man, I really shouldn't type shit when i'm tired.

>>2265043
>forces Yang to be involved in the White Fang plotline
Just watch them fuck it up and send Yang off on an incredible "adventure" looking for Raven for the next fifty volumes while Blake deals with White Fang and Adam.

>>2265159
>Adam
>Lasting that long

He's barely just graduated Huntsman tier. (He's approximately twenty-three, to be specific.)

He'll be gone by the Volume 6 finale.

>>2265191
Only he has an army of zealots backing him up.

>>2265192
The only one that's even remotely a threat is Banesaw and maybe Illia.

>>2265211
>The only ones we were shown to be a threat
FTFY
I'm pretty sure White Fang has more that five members.

>>2265214
The rank and file are a joke.

>>2265221
And yet they beat the snot out of Ruby when she drops her scythe.

I honestly have no idea how I am still furious about that.

>>2265361
I know, anon, I know.
That scene would have been so much better if they had shown Banesaw's silhouette before knocking Ruby out. That would've both hyped up the train fight and, well, would've made the scene not dogshit.

>>2265221
I was implying that they will show more named not-faceless members of the White Fang, not that the cannon fodder will suddenly stop jobbing.

>>2265159
I don't really see how that'd be a fuck up. She's been looking for her mother most of her life. Adam is one villain who caused a wound that's already fixed and who she's mildly traumatized by. Adam is, and has always been, Blake's problem. Just because Yang got in the middle and got hurt doesn't suddenly shift him over to being her arch foe.

It's like people who think Jaune should be the one to defeat Cinder because of Pyrrha when the series has continually been setting Ruby up to be the person in that spot.

>>2265484
>I don't really see how that'd be a fuck up.
Because it would mean she'll spend the rest of her time away from the group chasing a ghost that has no personality or anything interesting about her.

>>2265484
>It's like people who think Jaune should be the one to defeat Cinder because of Pyrrha when the series has continually been setting Ruby up to be the person in that spot.

But Cinder is Zuko.

>>2265485
>a ghost that has no personality or anything interesting about her.

To us. But she is Yang's mom, moms are always important.

>>2265485
>a ghost that has no personality or anything interesting about her.
Only because she has only had a couple scenes.

But even in those few scenes, Raven has a stronger and more consistent personality than Adam, and is infinitely more interesting. One of Yang's very few meaningful character traits is her relationship with Raven and finding her, throwing that away would be the fuck up.

>>2265782
>let's not chase the stalker trying to kill my best friend and hopefully future girlfriend, let's instead go after the person who has no direct ties to me except by name!

Needless sarcasm aside, what exactly do people think will happen when Yang finds Raven? I say 'when' because I do agree she'll try going after deadbeat mom, finding Blake and on that note, likely Adam before she goes after Raven.

Oh, they definitely shouldn't throw the Raven/Yang dynamic out.
Hell, later down the line, I wouldn't mind Yang having a half season to herself to have some good character interactions with Raven, but if you think Adam's not going to eventually get beaten in a Bumblebee Tag-team fight, you're off your damn rocker.

I mean for fuck sake, the lyrics to Armed and Ready is all about Yang being ready to beat the ever-living shit out of Adam the next time they meet.

Plus the Bumblebee implications and Yang helping Blake kill her demons, but that's just a bonus really.

She's not gonna have a confrontation with him until she at least meets up with Blake.
Right now, she's gonna find Ruby cause she means more to her than finding Raven. When she meets up with the whole team, it'll just be a matter of who the plot forces her to run into first, but Raven and Adam will both get their turn on Yang's side of the plot.

Weiss probably offered to brush Ruby's hair after her shower the next morning too, but in a totally platonic, not gay, just friends way, and only because they might be late to class if she lets Ruby fumble around and do it herself.

The rules also say the topic of a thread should be of Japanese origin. This whole thread shouldn't exist. Several active threads on this board shouldn't exist.

The rules only matter as much as the mods enforce them. Report a post if it triggers you that much and wait for them to take action otherwise, you can always hide it.

And talking about the rules is equally off topic if not worse. How is a thread dedicated to lesbian discussion and image posting this controversial?

Also, bumblebees are the best kind of bees.

What's hostile about a simple dismissal? Everyone is tired of this discussion. Every time it comes up, the mods don't do anything because A) You don't report or B) You do but they deem it fine.

I'm honestly a little sick of treating this like a real discussion after two years of it. So I'm not going to be polite or elaborate on the point anymore, because the matter is effectively settled and you're wrong.

>>2267951
You want a reason why the male thing is more enforced than being ultra selective weeabo? Here's the reason: we're a red board. It's not a surprise not many people remember it considering how this board grew into more of a discussion board but it was and is for porn. I'd rather them be overzealous with this rule than the others. If there ever was a case for a slippery slope it's using the excuses >>2267934 listed. Those same excuses could be applied to porn and no one here wants to see dick but being anything except staunchly against it allows for it to creep in through various means.

You are right though about it largely being self-moderated when it comes to sniping sfw pictures, however ignorance of rules doesn't excuse them from being told to get fucked for posting such things because they think it 'fits'.

It's half the reason I like the ship so much. They're made for cute fluffy goodness. Too bad the most we've gotten for them in the show recently is Weiss' hand placement in the team RWBY photo.

>>2269352
That's too bad. I have only watched RWBY a little bit but they did seem to have a good chemistry. And the fanarts are way too cute that I have to go hug my pillow once I look at some of them.

Post show, aka the closest thing we'll have to RWBY being reunited until V5 here if anyone's interested:

No explicit mention of shipping or anything, but overall I think they all gave some pretty good input on their own characters. Most notable parts were that Lindsay was told to play Ruby as "forcing herself to be happy" this volume and is going to be reaching her breaking point soon, and that she and Kara are both really looking forward to the Ruby/Weiss reunion and expect it to be very, very emotional and gay.

I don't think the primary issue with RWBY is the content (characters, setting, plot, etc.).

In my opinion, the chief issue with RWBY is pacing. RWBY had a very slow start for its first volume. It was so bad it almost stalled, but that can be excused for being the first. Volume 2 had a nice balance in the first half of the volume, but starts to lose it for the second half with the dance arc, but it still tried for a balance. Volume 3 had a very nice balance overall. Some light material to start, but gets into the meat of the matter early and doesn't abandon the heavier ideas until the conclusion. Volume 3 had about as many slow scenes as previous volumes, but still retains a forward movement throughout all the episodes.

Volume 4 went back to almost stalling levels of slow pacing. Volume 4 had interesting content, but it takes all of the episodes to get there and one of the arcs (Blake's namely) was mostly reintroducing ideas already tackled in pass material.

Slow pacing isn't an objective issue of course. Sometimes you want slow pacing; but, in my opinion, not when it takes almost a year to produce roughly 3 hours of content.

Not gonna happen ever.

RTX is a basically safe-space bubble created by loyal fans who just throw money at RT for some godforsaken reason. As far as every clip I've seen of it, people there clap at every thing M&K say like retarded seals.

If anyone had any legit concerns though, they'd probably be too scared to voice any out since RWBY fans outside of 4chan seem to think the show is the best thing to ever happen since the moon landing. You need some titanium level balls to call them out when they're surrounded by their sheeple.

I'm not saying she can't be swole. I'm saying it kind of annoys me to see Yang being shoehorned into the masculine "I have to look like a guy" role because she has tomboy qualities.

Her outfits consist shorts that show off her legs, a skirt and a cute white dress. She didn't start wearing actual pants until Vol 4.

I just don't like the whole gender roles thing in same-sex relationships. I don't like it in hetero relationships either.

>>2273385
>it kind of annoys me to see Yang being shoehorned into the masculine "I have to look like a guy" role because she has tomboy qualities.
It's not THAT common, is it? Not like black Blake or something.
Yang's yangs are a large part of her character. She's often drawn to be more muscular than the others partially due to her fighting style, but I don't think that's usually in the "look like a guy" way.

>Especially when the other 99.999% of the time that RWBY is so much as mentioned in RT content, or rtx, everyone involved acts like it's some perfect golden child.
I mean, it prints them a ton of money and it's RT's flagship product. What do you expect?

>>2273303
Oh I agree completely, I just think it's a nice sentiment.
Although, the funny thing is it's not even just 4chan anymore. I've seen a decent amount of criticism a bunch of places now, just not their website yet. Hell, even most fans I know openly criticize the show when prompted. It's like the fandom is slowly bottling it up, and one day m&k are gonna do something particularly stupid and shits just gonna explode. Or at least one can hope.

>>2273472
Yeah, I get it, it's just annoying that I can't watch most RT content anymore without random interludes about RWBY, or how great it is,
despite losing the few animators that made the fight scenes good, and apparently the ability to write the main fucking character[\spoiler]

>>2273486
I don't think anybody's going to explode, unless they do something spectacularly moronic like kill the whole RWBY team off.
You can like something and still acknowledge its flaws. Sure, RWBY has way more flaws than your regular show, but it's still pretty enjoyable if you don't take it too seriously.

Although I do admit I'd rather people be more outspoken about their criticism. I've seen a couple of screenshots of posts criticizing RWBY, and it seems like their authors are afraid of angering M&K, because they suck their dick for five paragraphs with flattery and "don't get me wrong, it's all really good", and maybe have two sentences of actually describing their gripes with the show.

I mean, there's swole Yang in a dress and then there's this.

And although I'm not that anon, Yang is relatively often drawn as the "man" of her relationships, compared to other girls. Ruby gets some of it, too, though it mostly amounts to her looking like some Canadian lumberjack in a plaid shirt.
Thankfully, most people don't repost such art so it doesn't get much traction. Fanfictions are a different story, though.

I mean, I'd shred cheese on Yang's chiseled abs all day, but that doesn't mean she's a goddamn Rambo in a sundress.

That particular line just is one that I see all the time. Even more often than any given comparison between Ruby's blush and either rubies or roses.

To be fair, as much as Freezerburn is my favorite, what you just linked is plain bad art. And there's a fair share of that around here that nobody complains about/tastes are subjective etcetc.

I suppose I can't really argue with your second point though. Somethingsomething every person is a special unique snowflake personality wise and adding feminine/male traits is silly blahblah i'm tumblr blahblah.

I just posted that picture as a joke because I never get tired of it and black RWBYs. I've got to update my collection, though, it's been a while since my last addition of black Ruby Link.

I don't have anything with man-Yang on me at the moment, but pic related is basically what I meant by some artists drawing a girl as a "man" of the relationship. I mean, I get rule 63 and all that, it's just a fetish, but this is just pure OOC stuff.
Though I guess 80% of fanart is, so it's unfair to complain about this specific thing and not others.

>>2273657
Blame that future thing that happened during I think v2 that and some unsavory elements within the monochrome section favor Blake's hair that way.

>>2273662
I don't think her hair is the problem here.

>>2273665
Don't be fooled it's part of it and usually signifies what the anon's talking about.

If it wasn't for the garbage quality, I kind of feel like that initial image would've fit. Yang in a dress + smug confidence from both her and Weiss. But, I guess that's where character interpretation comes into play.

You mean besides it being a buff tan dude that looks more like Sun than Yang?

I guess they showed some grimm eclipse costume dlc before a proper announcement has been made when the girls were playing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaKmTgrFIe8
My only thought is that once the prom outfits are released they'll get ripped, thrown up for SFM and MMD, and then someone will finally make the extended bumblebee dance we actually deserved.

Its funny you say that. I don't think the show will ever explode, but I think the show is in real danger right now. Remember when season 3 ended, and RWBY fandom seemed over the moon with excitement? All that built up momentum and celebration? Its gone now. There's that subtle difference between true hype, and dedicated fans who are just happy to be along for the ride, and season 4 transitioned the fanbase to latter.

Now, I'm really not being all doom and gloom about this, the RWBY fanbase isn't dying at all, but it will be if season 5 or 6 can't deliver that same hype season 3 had. And it will be a slow withering death, too. Likewise, if season 5 does turn out to be good, no damage done.

This season is hardly indicative of anything long-term when compared to v3 in a vacuum.
What happened before volume 3? Highschool hijinks and cute grills, oh god one of the main characters has a meaningless secret and now there's a dance arc!
Then BAM everything is fucked and quarter of the civilization is under martial law.
Just Yang getting framed was possibly the biggest shock in the show that far, and from there everything escalated to maiming, killing and quartering people in just a few short episodes.
I'm not saying that V4 handled the pacing properly, but V3 is a special case. It will take a lot to match the level of intensity that mood whiplash caused even with superior writing.

>>2273732
Nothing of value will be lost if the show was canceled.

>It will take a lot to match the level of intensity that mood whiplash caused even with superior writing.

But that's the thing about it, though. It will need to either match that intensity, or find a way to keep the fanbase without it, and season 4 didn't do either of those things. Volume 1 and 2 operated with a different paradigm, they had very different methods of making a profit for RT. Volume 4 fell closer to the earlier volume's model, but that model is no longer sustainable, I fear.

And I want to note, I'm really not making a judgement or anything, I don't really know what exactly they should do to fix this, only that it does need to be fixed.

>>2273732
As some people have said before, V4 was supposed to set some things up for further volumes. Whether M&K take advantage of that to build up a hype-worthy storyline or fuck it all up remains to be seen.

I think the biggest problem is that episodes are very short, and there wasn't that much happening overall in V4.

>>2273765
What do you think they could do to rival volume 3's climax?

I present to you: Weiss uncrossing her legs.
It's simple stuff like this that get my full attention.
