So I found this. It’s...interesting.


Anyone know how to archive Instagram videos?

Am I hearing this right? Did Miles just say that they still don't know what the relationship between Neo and Torchwick is or anything about them beyond that she liked to impress him? You brought a character back with the main driving force of a revenge story and you don't even know what their relationship to the person they're avenging is!?

Yes, apparently the relationship between Neo and Torchwick is fanfiction bait.

The show went from no questions to answer to SO MANY QUESTIONS. From no lore to all the lore. The show is either two separated eras without the needed connection to make them work, or it's one through line without any of necessary buildup to satisfy the needs of the narrative in the long term. All because the idea was "cute anime girls fighting monsters".
 
Seems lucrative enough

They can't give answers because these dipshits can barely answer them.

Miles and Kerry couldn't even answer a question for how Jaune got Pyrrha's shit after she died, a basic bitch one from a former fan who received Barb's infamous "IT'S A CARTOOOOON!" reply before the guy never got his answer.

So to the surprise of no one, they follow the mystery box and subverting expectations trend like other limp dick writers.

Views =/= individual viewers. Not to mention the $20mil is a great number in terms of sales but what is the net profit of it after you take out merch production, animation budget, etc.

It's typical of any company to big up their properties because who wants to encourage shareholder scares with admitting your property is tanking, just look at Blizzard couching their shareholder reveiws in all sorts of marketing lingo to try and imply that WoW isn't fast circling the drain.

I don't believe you. Give me those numbers. Let me graph them so I can see how each episode/season fares, because I can fucking guarantee that those numbers of fucking dropping.

The youtube versions of the show has them going from 14m in season 1 ep 1, to 7m in season 1 ep 2, to 3.5m in season 5's last episode. Season 5 frequently falls in the 2.5-3m range.

Not that their initial post maths out otherwise. If it heralded season 7, it must have been somewhere after the end of season 5 and probably before the end of season 6. But even just including season 5 and earlier, 7mil average for each episode = 462 million views, not 271.

Something's fucky with the data. It might just be the scope - if you just include the first three seasons, 7mil average is 280, which probably means there's some reasonable 6.something that could be rounded up to 7mil average. but even in season 1, some episodes go as low as 3.9 mil, and i can't see First members making up a huge portion of the viewerbase.

That's exactly why I don't believe them. YouTube numbers don't match those claims, and the RT website doesn't (at least to my knowledge) provide watch stats, and considering the jank that is their website, I doubt it has anti-viewbot measures.
 
I remember hearing once from secondhand accounts that there's some guy on gamefaqs that claims the shitty RWBY mobile game somehow outsells shit like Fire Emblem Heroes or FF Brave Exvius. Maybe that's the final form of soyboy shills, not just believing obviously fake statistics but fabricating them yourself.

Two different angles of abuse.

Bumbling Trash

People who say this shit clearly have never had someone talk to them or someone they love like that. The first time I heard Adam say “my darling” I wanted to vomit. Also, how can you possbly think...

I don't wanna torture myself from reading this, but it looks like some Bumblebee bullshittery.
 
Neither of their defenses are about the White Fang, at least not directly. It’s both of them using the White Fang as either a scapegoat or a way to minimize their own trauma.

That would make sense... If they hadn't already grown disillusioned with their abusers and accepted that they were abusers by this point according to the story. Why does Weiss or Blake need a scapegoat to blame their abuser's actions on when, according to later volumes, their motivations are rooted in already knowing they're pieces of shit who need to be taken down?

And talk about completely misreading the tweet. The guy there is clearly not saying 'Submissive people deserve to be abused', he's saying that making someone feel small isn't automatically a sign of abuse because some personality traits, like someone who's rather submissive, make feeling small rather easy when in the presence of a (supposedly) more dominant and charismatic personality. Like, someone who's pretty damn shy will internally panic at the prospect of saying the wrong thing when talking to strangers, fearing extreme reactions and such. That doesn't make those strangers assholes who are intentionally trying to make the person panic, it's just a part of the other person's personality.
