RWBY Thread III: Time To Say Goodbye

Stop: So gotta few things that need to be said real quick.
so gotta few things that need to be said real quick.
We get a lot of reports from this thread. A lot of it is just a series of people yelling at each other over arguments that have been rehashed hundreds of times since the end of the recent Volume. And I get that the last Volume - and RWBY in general, really - has some controversial moments that people will want to discuss, argue about, debate, etc.

That's fine. We're not going to stop people from doing that, because that's literally what the point of the thread is. However, there's just a point where it gets to be a bit too much, and arguments about whether or not Ironwood was morally justified in his actions in the recent Volume, or if RWBY and her team were in the right for withholding information from Ironwood out of distrust, or whatever flavor of argument of the day descend into insulting other posters, expressing a demeaning attitude towards other's opinions, and just being overall unpleasant. That tends to happen a lot in this thread. We want it to stop happening in this thread.

So! As of now the thread is in a higher state of moderation. What that means is that any future infractions will result in a weeklong boot from the thread, and repeated offenders will likely be permanently removed. So please, everyone endeavor to actually respect the other's arguments, and even if you strongly disagree with them please stay civil and mindful when it comes to responding to others.

In addition, users should refrain from talking about off-site users in the thread. Bear in mind that this does not mean that you cannot continue to post tumblr posts, for example, that add onto the discussion in the thread, with the caveat that it's related to RWBY of course. But any objections to offsite users in the thread should be handled via PM, or they'll be treated as thread violations and infracted as such.

I'm not asking for people agree with me, in fact you can disagree and tell me I'm exaggerating things. What I don't like is putting words into my mouth, like above, saying I'm defending bigots, just because I don't screen a site when they post one measly article that compiles the information I need.

If you go back to my post, I posted my impressions and opinion. I don't assume I can convince anybody of anything. I might color my language to give the impression I'm suggesting you do something, but I'm not going to try and convince you I am right, as I've stated in my post as well.

So, can we please look at what I've said and stop the association thing because of where the information came from?

Well, it's a bit more than simply not screening the site. It seems like you didn't even screen the article itself and to be frank it was a crap basis to build your post on.

The article specifically rails against "social justice" and does actually provide a better context of the tweet within itself when it goes into complaining how "contradictory" RT are being since they've said they aim for inclusivity. Apparently missing you can't really be inclusive with racists as they are, by their nature, exclusionary.

Even if the site itself wasn't questionable, an article like this anywhere else would be. You may not have meant to put yourself in that position, but that's the danger of not checking your sources.
 
BACK to RWBY

does anyone else want the Lion Faunus from the DnD group to meet Ghira at some point and have a Flex-Off?
I know I do.
What, you mean like this?


While I would love for that to happen, this is set before the attack on Haven (and presumably the Fall of Beacon), we know what happens to the huntsmen and huntresses operating in Mistral:




So unless the group leaves Mistral for greener pastures at the end of the campaign, they're kinda doomed.

Well I thought I heard it takes place years before RWBY, soooooooo
Maybe they encounter the White Fang caravan?
*shrugs*
Let me dreeeeeam :'(
 
Wasn't Qrow specifically looking for Huntsmen he personally knew, whom he trusted to be discrete about going after the Branwen gang?

Who could, if necessary, be trusted to keep quiet about a crazy woman with unbelievable, nigh-magical powers over the weather and elements?

That's a much shorter list for Hazel and Tyrian to cross off.

I kinda would believe that, since otherwise, they'd have to encounter Tyrian and Hazel which invites the inevitable "If you stat it, they can kill it" Rule.

Provided that it's set during RWBY. If it's set before RWBY, then they have a much looser leash.

Given how the DM is one of the writers of RWBY (and, IIRC, most of the players are also staff members), it invites the possibility that they have planned an endgame for their campaign that may involve an encounter with Hazel and Tyrian, but getting there is the fun part. That or it could mean that they won't as easily cause time paradoxes in the RWBY timeline.

Yeah its not like they killed every Huntsman in Mistral. That would be crazy. At the very least Qrow was looking for what sounded like a smaller group og Huntsmen that dont work with/take orders from the Mistral government.


Plus Kuchinashi has its own Huntsmen culture. If the group stays there its unlikely they will be targeted.

The Huntsman Qrow were looking for where the ones who weren't specifically on the Mistral Council's payroll already since the ones that were were already tied up trying to keep things stable.

Qrow was looking for the Mistral Huntsman who wouldn't be tied up with other commitments already. Makes sense that they would also be the easiest for Tyrian and Hazel to pick off as not being a part of the official government structure also inherently means much less oversight or people to check up on them.
 
Okay, admittedly I went a little too far with that last comment, but still. They had been actively stealing Dust, something that the White Fang were also doing. They hadn't outright killed people, but it is still a somewhat violent method they're using.
There, you just said what separates the Happy Huntresses from Sienna and Adam's White Fang.
 
Ghira - Peace - Alive
Sienna - Violence - Violent End
Adam - Extreme Violence - Violent End
🤔
"Live by the sword, die by the sword."

There's another major factor.

The White Fang destroyed or stole private property.

Robyn and the Happy Huntresses stole public property from the government that was not (to the best of anyone's knowledge) being used to serve the public interest.

In fact it's literally brought up that the material's for Amity were originally supposed to go to Mantle in the first place.

As far as Robyn on anyone in that city knows, the government stole what was legally there shit without any explanation or justification.
 
Imagine George Bush (either one) emptying out Social Security to pay for the Cold War era "Star Wars" space-defense system without getting Congress' permission.
Worse than that. Imagine if after Katrina Bush Jr's top general diverted all the supplies meant to be going to New Orleans to use it to build a massive drone command center to attack Iran. Remember Ironwood isn't an elected official, and the actual elected officials don't seem to have any control over him while he's planning to start a massive conflict that he has no real ability to control or really even fight.

That... is false equivalence.

For one, what happened to Vale wasn't some natural disaster. It was a full-on attack that set Faunus and Atlas up as a false flag. Not only that, but the system he was trying to establish was going to help reconnect the world together so that there'd be better communication instead of all the uncertainty that might or might not have bubbled into another Great War if tensions rose.

Hey, Amithy would have been more useful then THAT. Otherwise, yes, an accurate summary, right down to taking from civil programs for military boondoggle.

Chelsea Kennedy

New concept artist for RWBY and possibly other RT shows going forward. Goes by TEAMOON. Anyone familiar with her work?

Some other interesting stuff I came across:

A post both in regards to Watts and Penny (or possibly Pietro) going forward and the very concept of nemeses in the show:


Another good point on Watts



And someone made fanart of Bertilak from the first Team CFVY novel:

Dude needs more love. His partner was in Amity Arena and got official art ages ago while he has nothing. Which is a shame, he had a pretty cool Semblance. And his design is actually pretty interesting if it's done in the style of this neopoliitan artist.

While I would love for that to happen, this is set before the attack on Haven (and presumably the Fall of Beacon), we know what happens to the huntsmen and huntresses operating in Mistral:
Btw it's been confirmed that the Grimm Campaign is set around 2 years before Volume 1. The third episode has the group find posters advertising the upcoming 39th Vytal Festival which is to be held in Mistral City. That event was apparently put into the story specifically to give the audience a way to figure out the timeline. edelblume/Sarah Tilgner made fanart:
