This was genuinely really well done. While not perfect, a lot of the writing was interesting, and while I don't agree with how everything was done, it was clear that a large amount of time and effort was put into the script. The love for RWBY and Monty Oum was palpable by the end.

The visual direction on most non-character art was surprisingly well done. Most character art was...not good.

Why the hell did you get super racist and change people's skin color, though? That's not okay. You can't just 'decide' to make someone a different race.

who's skintone do you mean??? blakes? yangs, which purely makes sense because in this VN she lives in the DESERT. it's artistic choice, let people color their art how they please. it adds charm instead of being "plain ghost pale".

OBVIOUSLY I meant Blake. Changing to tan isn't changing someone's RACE. But you bring up a good point. If Yang is tan because of the desert, why isn't Ruby?

Because they decided to go off-model, which shouldn't be okay, and they only did because they thought it would be okay to make Blake black. Why isn't Adam black? Why is he mostly accurate?

Because they decided to make Blake, the terrorist, a black person.

If someone is a victim of racial inequality, then by all means, if they feel a sense of kinship and connection to Blake, they absolutely deserve that. But changing her race is like saying race doesn't matter, and you're making her what YOU want her to be. Race is simultaneously something that does, yet does not matter. It shouldn't DEFINE a character, but is an undeniable piece. Changing it is a slippery fucking slope.

In live action, it's okay to change someone's race. A drawn artform has no excuse.

bro they are fictional characters and blake (and all the faunus, actually) were already 1:1 a conversation about racism and systemic oppression in the original series. also i think you're projecting heavily onto the dev being racist by calling blake a terrorist when she's not in the show, nor has she been described as being a terrorist in the description here. she's called a rebel. let me guess, you think real world antifa are terrorists too?

because calling a systemically oppressed group of people terrorists for standing against said oppression totally isn't racist. have you even WATCHED rwby? or have any actual braincells?

I was talking about Blake being a terrorist IN RWBY.

The Black trailer is literally her committing a terrorist act.

I haven't watched RWBY? I've forgotten more about RWBY than you ever learned. Like how the train heist is responsible for Weiss fighting the armor Geist.

You absolutely moved so many goal post, believing I'm against antifa.

For someone who accuses others of having no braincells, your reading comprehension is child-level.

People like you are why engaging with the FNDM is so tedious.
