Strongly agreed. I was laughing and nodding along to Leila's post when I ran across "Psychopatch" and my gears ground to a halt as I tried to squint and make sense of the joke. Turns out it relied on knowledge I didn't have. Bleh.
She's made the joke repeatedly, though, starting from pretty much ever since the show told us the hometown's name. This isn't some new joke you have no familiarity with, not if you've been reading her reviews.
See, when people talk about how you and Lelia Hann are unfair to RWBY, this is the sort of thing they mean.
I'm... being unfair by making an observation about how a thing Monty was involved in is consistent with the things Monty is most well-known for?
What kind of logic is involved in this statement, exactly? Am I being unfair if I observe that Monty got popular making fight scenes, and RWBY tries to sell itself on its fight scenes, too? Or is it only 'unfair' if it's about Monty's
unpleasant decisions, never mind that he did, in fact, make those decisions, there is no disputing or arguing this?
You notice how that's still not a snuff fetish? For some strange reason whenever you repeatedly throw personal insults at someone, people start to think you some sort of grudge against them.
The original context was Leila pointing out a scene engaging in Boob Physics (Which are not consistently utilized in the series: there had to be a
conscious intent to
specifically utilize them in this
specific scene) in which it sure did look like Yang was very possibly about to die. So: sexualizing the act of a girl about to die.
In what way is it unfair, insane, or grudge-based to look at a scene that could be taken as sexualizing a girl's death and going 'that looks suspiciously like a snuff fetish or
something fucked-up'? In what way is this a
personal insult?
This is particularly mind-boggling to me because there are so many other, better lines in Leila's reviews you could drag out and describe as a personal insult, such as when she says she has reason to suspect the writers are fairly awful people, not merely bad writers. That doesn't require stripping the line of context or anything to make it arguably an insult, unlike this 'snuff fetish' commentary, which is a factual observation about a bizarre, creepy-in-context-and-out-of-context decision on the show's part.
Seriously, what is your thought process here?
