[RWBY] RWBY Shorts

He'd go with Jaune but he got hit by a truck and will probably be gone for a month again.

"Dang it! Whys it always a truck? Just once I'd like these Isekai to not be painful. Where even am I?"

"Welcome brother. The emperor protects."

"Fuck."

Guess he's eating alone. Maybe afterwards he can find a movie or something. Anything to kill his boredom.

There ain't shit going on at Beacon.

I need more of this. Especially 40k isekai'd Jaune.

That was some random alternate chaos, kind of with Jaune and how he's feeling.

Ugh... The Reddit Mods would not let me post this. Probably because they have enough shipping arguments. But bare with me here.



Imagine if Blake was a male character... And that was the only change. Male!Blake does all the same things, runs off on Yang after Adam (male or female, whatever) beats him up and cuts off Yang's arm. He abandons RWBY/JNPR and only comes back to their aid at Haven by complete coincidence, and never, ever apologizes to Yang onscreen for running out on her and their friends.



Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the same Bumblebee fans who so viciously defend the terrible execution of this ship would be as thrilled. Because now instead of it having the modern protection of "If you criticize it, you hate gays!" it is now a man abandoning the woman he ostensibly is madly in love with and never apologizing for it or leaving his friends to potentially die.



And if you make Yang a man, he just has to take his alleged destined love abandoning him and his family and friends and never apologizing for it.



Now naturally, people would still defend this ship if it was like this. There are crazy people who still think Reylo in the Star Wars Sequel trilogy or Azula/Anyone from Avatar: The Last Airbender are good ships. But without that protection of "If you criticize this, you are a bigot", suddenly, the dysfunctional and potentially abusive nature of the relationship is revealed.



Funny how that works, huh?

You know I just realised something sad.

Infidelity is probably a rampant problem in Remnant. While most of our focus is on Jaune who is Shonen levels of dedicated and would never cheat, if we take a step back and look at the whole demographic, the working conditions of huntsman really make them prone to cheating.

Now I will preface this by saying that cheating is ultimately a personal decision and you cannot blame things as "nature" or "timing" for that.

But you have Men and Women, going on extended missions, under high stress combat conditions, often staying away for lengths of time and only people near them to keep them company or to understand their turmoil?

Plus every huntsman has a super charged biology, libido isn't the issue here?

It's basically the same issue that army faces but multiplied by an even larger danger factor and higher libido. And a very, very lax attitude and flexible rules.

Plus think of the Huntsman and Civilian pairings?

Plus with how open in terms of gender and sexuality Remnant is, unlike the traditional case where you might know about the cheating via untimely pregnancy, here you don't know if your significant other cheated or not if they start playing for the other team.

That reminds of the statistic that Lesbian Women have one of the highest rate of Divorce and cheating that is reported.

Now, some people on reddit have said that it is wrong or misinterpreted but none have put forward their own "correct" stats as counter argument.

In fact, recently on YT shorts I was seeing this stand up comedian lady Taylor Tomilson, who I think came out as bisexual, and she said something like "The most difficult art about dating women is respecting their choice, with a man I can think "He doesn't know what is missing out on" if we break up , but for a woman I have to say to myself, "Good for you, you are strong for recognising your choice" ", and all that jazz.

I am not commenting on her dating life because I have been following her for some time now and I know she ahs gone through shit in her dating life and mental health but it really puts into perspective how internalised sexism is even in people of the LGBTQ+ community.


In fact, recently on Reddit I saw discussion between two people where one put forward that they were harassed by people on tumblr for disagreeing with someone that Jaune is an egg when the other person said that "look at his Bunny onesie and how he dresses up for Pyrrha" and said that these kind of things could be counted as Positive masculinity.

The other as you would expect the literal stereotypical caricature of tumblr user and was continuously putting forward allegations.

It's so sad for me that people like these can't even see past their own hypocrisy.

"Does it survive a genderswap" is almost always a decent way to test if behavoir is actually acceptable, if it's horrible or completely toxic with a double standerd lens.
