RWBY - The Hindenburg on which Rooster Teeth rests its hopes, dreams and future

What is this exactly?

@yasscat

So these two sisters are on a spree of redesigning Team RWBY, and seeing how their followers take on the design.


One of the rules was that there is to be no changing skin tones in the redesigns, just the outfits only.

Some of the designers outright ignored this rule, and then tried to argue that it was supposed to be this way as Blake is a 1:1 representation of minorities.

So now, there's a big shitstorm on Twitter and the Youtube comments section going back and forth.

Defenders of the sisters will say, "Other light-skinned minorities exist too, guys! What about the Asians!? Are they not good enough!?"

Critics will say, "Lol, there's not enough dark-skinned people in the show, so changing a character's skin tone isn't blackface! And it goes extra because I'm darker-skinned. so we need representation that needs to look EXACTLY LIKE ME! Besides, darker-skinned people are THE quintessential persecuted minority that we think of when it comes to representation!"

And once again it's all because CRWBY and Barbara fumbled the ball and didn't listen to Tolkien/Lewis' advice on allegory, let alone taking the concept of Faunus racism to its fullest. CRWBY for only using Faunus racism to score brownie points with the audience, and Barb directly comparing Faunus to black folks in RWBY's volume 2 commentary.

And all the spergs on both sides eating up the Faunus thing on face value. Really, don't you think it's supposed to be the spirit of discrimination, and understanding that the people of Remnant come from a different ballpark than Earth? Nobody there gives two shits about skin tones, and they'd probably be laughing at us!
 
Last I checked she looked at RWBY designs. For two hours.
Last I knew she had redesigned Team RWBY herself and then turned off the comments because people didn't like them.

Hey what do you know, it's the first minute of the video where she talks about it. She claims Blake is "race coded Asian" which is bullshit since Blake is white as fuck and based off of a French character but go off. This is the reason I don't want to talk about twiins' iink, her and her sister (girlfriend?) or whatever are stupid but in a way that's not fun to poke at, they're just exceedingly bland.

Then let's talk about the bigger issue - race swapping characters for brownie points and MUH REPRESENTATION.

To be fair, she is originally from a tropical island.

I cannot think of anything I'd like to do less.

Alright fair enough but her ancestors were not, Menagerie was given to the Faunus only about a century before the start of the series. Before that who knows but it's funny because even if Blake really is "race coded Asian" that don't mean shit for Twiin's little rant about "erasing Asians" since the majority of Asians are actually kinda tan if not outright brown. Hell a lot of Asians look like Native Americans since it's only really the Koreans, Han Chinese, and Japanese that are light skinned.

Next time you watch listen to her complain about Ironwood keep in mind that she spent the last couple years prior to that shitting all over Adam fans for the exact same shit she complains about with Ironwood with the waste of character and whatnot.

She has a seriously bad case of "If I don't personally have an issue with it then it's fine" and that goes for everything she does. She's one of those "Just let people enjoy things" people in the worst way.

No, her art is shitty, that's something you can measure against an objective standard. Your enjoyment of her art is what's purely subjective.
That's something I noticed with her, it was really weird to see her go on a literal screaming rant about how Adam fans need to shut the fuck up to then unironically release an hour long video where she goes through all the same talking points about how the character was written shittily and his potential was wasted. A real ''rules for thee but not for me'' kind of cunt.
Last I checked she looked at RWBY designs. For two hours.
Can you imagine being on your deathbed, holding the hands of your loved ones, looking in their eyes and realizing you'd give anything to have just a few more hours of life to do something, anything, more valuable with the time you had on this earth. And then comes the crushing realization that you watched some vapid cunt stare at badly drawn RWBY redesigns for two hour of your limited existence on this Earth.
She claims Blake is "race coded Asian"
Is this because people call her a ninja? Is Naruto running and wearing black all you have to do to be considered 'asian'? That sounds kind of racist, Twiins. Big yikeroonies from me, gonna post this all over my twitter.

Yeah, I think the key to any deconstruction is the idea that the subject being deconstructed is itself the problem, with the main antagonist being “human nature” rather than any external evil. In Watchmen, for example, all of the problems arise because some retards put on spandex and beat each other up in the streets, thinking it would help clean up crime. Capes aren’t doing anything good for society, they only exacerbate existing issues and make them even worse, to the point that the head honcho cape eventually decides to destroy NYC with a giant squid monster so that he can convince everyone to keep supporting the superhero grift.

In both Madoka and Evangelion though, the root source of conflict is purely external, and the subject of interest is established in-universe to not just be the best solution, but in fact the only solution. Magical girls are the only things that can defeat witches, much like how Evas are the only things that can defeat angels (…for the exact same reason, now that I think about it), and the witches/angels themselves are a threat put upon by humanity by greater forces well beyond our understanding or control. It’s impossible to do a “magical girls/giant robots bad” deconstruction when it is explicitly established in-universe that magical girls/giant robots are the only way to deal with the threat at hand.
Another good example of deconstruction vs. subversion is Starship Troopers vs. WH40K. In Starship Troopers, the bugs themselves aren’t actually the threat, just the pretense for fascist hypermilitarism. In 40K on the other hand, despite how awful the Imperium is, they’re still the lesser evil compared to Chaos and the Tyranids.
The other thing is that Tv Trope fags are thin skinned coddled pussies who think that anything that isn't clean cut and thematically light is "dark and edgy and spooky wooooo". That, and they're That Guy With The Glasses praising losers who take everything that Doug Walker and his minstrels say to heart.

Human experience and history has all sorts of crazy shit that breaks norms and turns heads.

Also something petty from me:

I wouldn't ever take advice from some dumbfuck weeaboo about anime and manga authoring whose profile pic uses a RWBY image.

There's an old addage that "History records the strange". If you wake up and tie your shoes every morning the history books aren't going to have diagrams of how you tied your shoes, everybody knows how shoes are tied, but for future people who have evolved past shoe laces this isn't particularly helpful since they don't know how shoes were tied and now they have to figure it out.

Tvtropes also has the problem of a few things being way too disproportionately popular on it. Like your aforementioned TGWTG, I had never even heard of Doug or that group before I stumbled upon tvtropes somewhere in the late 00's. And other stuff like Warhammer 40k, Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged, anime in general, it creates such a warped userbase and point of view for the website. Not to mention you have the stupidest fucking takes and idiots putting in their own irrelevant opinions on everything.

I'll be honest, SOMETIMES the WMG page may have something interesting, even if it's completely insane that you'd have to read out of a morbid fascination.

TVTropes is basically just a worse Wikipedia.

You know, I kinda felt bad for twiins when she whinged about the fanbase chasing her off but between this and demanding her content be removed from rwbycritics (As well as whining that people were talking about her shit anyway) I realize now she's just a dumbass who wants her channel to be a fun little echo chamber for herself.

I thought she quit rwby content anyway because of the fanbase not liking her? Or did she try to, watch her views crater and come crawling back to the shitshow?

I don't follow her closely enough to know for certain since she's mostly just boring to me, but I believe that's what happened yes. Honestly her issue is what I said a few posts ago, she has that attitude of "Just let people enjoy things!" and "If I don't personally have an issue with it then it's fine!" in the absolute worst ways and it makes her content really hard to watch because any time that she opens her mouth to argue something she seems to almost willingly miss the point of what people are saying in order to build a strawman to knock down. The best example of this is in a video that I can't seem to find anymore where her and her sister (I think it's her sister) talk about people like us who are taking apart FRWBY and rewrite projects like FRWBY. One thing that they spend something like twenty minutes on is the argument of whether or not people have the right to create fanfiction due to them seeing some people say they don't approve of Fixing RWBY because the commenter "just doesn't like the word fixing" since it made that commenter think that the FRWBY team thought they were better than RT and that wasn't cool to Twiin. They spent about twenty minutes talking about how much they adore fanfiction and fanart because it let people be creative and show their appreciation as fans of a property and concluded by saying that fanfiction and fanart was good as a whole. But they missed the actual point of people picking apart FRWBY, very few people were questioning it's right to exist, they were questioning it's quality, and that sort of missing the point and focusing on dumb shit that doesn't matter is kinda Twiin's whole thing.

Also holy shit I looked through her channel to try and find that video and I forgot how eye bleedingly terrible her art is, this woman allegedly went to an art college.

EDIT/TL;DR: Twiin's issue isn't that she's a critic or that she defends RWBY, Twiin's issue is that she's bad at both. That's why she got chased off, she makes bad arguments and then is too stupid to back them up and too fragile to cope with criticism herself.

@Random Internet Person And what? AllTheTropes is better?
Absolutely not.

the second I heard Kinny that's pretty much the moment I need to get the gist and drop the video. Also Jesus Christ, these types of video formats are just designed to pander to retards who get their personality in tabloids/magazines/zodiac signs aren't they?

speaking of TVTropes and similar websites, hadn't anyone stopped and ponder for a moment; to whom are they exactly made for? Writers don't go to a website to jut down what tropes to avoid or use, they can and will mingle with other writers and talk about do's and don'ts's in writing, or analyze other people's works and implement some aspects or elements to their other projects.
