Pointing Fingers.
Olivia. QUEEEN!
Cynthia warding the cheerleaders off of Olivia in the back.
The T-Birds getting into it. THE BAND! Even the Soc's!
The Pink Ladies and T-Birds dancing on the bleachers together.
Gil grabbing the jackets from the principles.
Shy Guy getting and holding out Cynthia's jacket. Gil putting Olivia's jacket on her. Richie and Jane grabbing her jackets and just THE LOOK they share.
EVeryone and I mean EVERYONE has a different way to flip off the principles. I had to pause to look at them all and I cackled at Potato's.

Had a wild (and slightly funny) trans experience at the train station the other day.
I was walking from one platform to another platform through a long tunnel, listening to music, wearing a long pair of shorts and a black t-shirt. Overall, I look pretty masc, right? Not to some kids apparently!
These two eshay kids are behind me yelling “Oi Miss!” And it becomes apparent to me that there is no one else in the tunnel. They are talking to me. The younger one (maybe 12/13?) comes around one side, the older (15/16?) on the other. The older one points at the younger one and goes “Yo Miss! He’s got the hots for you!” (Genuinely what he said).
Aha! They have fallen into my unintentional trap! Time to use The Man Voice™
“You know I’m a guy, right?”
They begin to panic about potentially being attracted to a man.

why do fanfic writers keep making jaurne the main char like I get they prob don't like female main chars but its not even him but an oc in all but name llike at that point just make an oc. and they make chars blander then most harem animes (like I swear a harem where a male char has 1 trait is more devolped then the chars these people write cause at least I understand what their goal is
Have you ever heard of Fate Stay Night? Impressive back in its day, but as misogyny and homophobia and pedophelia no longer became acceptable, it lost its value to many.
However, it gained an appeal to many fanfic writers and doujinshi artists.
Why was this?
Like RWBY, the Fateverse has a fantastic worldbuilding, with many different opportunities for RPGs.
But RWBY lacks something that Fateverse has in spades to this day, especially amongst the fandom.
Straight white male protagonists that are basically useless and fragile and stupid...and yet, the women who are so much stronger and smarter in the fateverse, must surrender any and all agency, authority and free-will to the men.
Oh that does remind me. Fateverse did have ONE spinoff where a female protagonist was there....it was lesbian pedophelia. So basically , fateverse ONLY allows lgbt content if its fetishized lesbianism. as for the pedophelia, they do that to an alarming degree, and anime fans stand by it because to them, lolicon is somehow not pedophelia.
Oh wait, it is! Anyway, back to the patriarchy issue.
Too many men, and even women? Have trouble with the idea of women holding authority,influence, or power over men.
How many shows have women as protagonists taking on the same roles as men? How many shows have women be LGBT or not have men be shipped with them, and said women being protagonists?
For Fateverse, there are no gay men. and women are only bisexual if they're shipped with a male character, otherwise they're straight.
Speak to a fanartist or fanfic writer or fan who hates on bumbleby. Ask them what is their favorite MlM ship. I asked many a rwby fan who hated on bumbleby and accused CRWBY of queerbaiting...what was their favorite MlM ship. They had none...they considered it gross. Because well...see for yourself.
Tumblr media
This was from a WlW fanartist who was part of the "Fixing RWBY" youtube channel where Roman Torchwick is the white male savior alongside Adam Taurus.
In case you're wondering, no, FatmanFalling was not the person I got this from. It was from his Christian friend who made Hogwarts Legacy Fanart on Twitter, but chose not to post it here for obvious reasons. you'll see that one of their ships involve Jaune x Weiss and I've already provided post explaining why WK is a bad ship. https://www.tumblr.com/iamafanofcartoons/715787142254772224/why-the-whiteknight-ship-makes-many-in-the-rwby
But you see Tauradonna there too. Blake is blamed for Adam being evil...because at the end of the day, women are blamed for the actions men, because to blame men means having men be accountable for their actions. And we know how men both in shows and in real life just CANNOT do that...they're too fragile, too hypocritical. So those men blame women. And their supporters parrot that misogynistic hate.
Coer Al alaran? the "king of rwby fanfics" is notable for several things.
He never writes a female protagonist unless said woman is not allowed to have agency, power, or influence over men.
He does not make a woman a major character unless she is straight and the love interest of a straight white male savior.
He will only write an lgbt character such as coco adel, as evil or hated.
He forbids bumbleby at any cost, and will write yang as throwing herself into jaune or adam taurus' arms while hating blake and defending men from her.
Couer has apparently stated he despises blake's bisexuality and hates the idea of people of different genders being attracted to her, so he either writes her as jaune's pillow partner, or makes her antagonistic to men.
Finally, couer writes jaune or adam as the straight white male savior who has yang or another women sleep with them, while said men are abused by women.
He basically gets his writing from rise of the shield hero. I'm honestly surprised couer didn't decide on including pedophelia in his fanfics.
but at the end of the day? A woman, no matter how complex or fascinating? will be tossed aside by critics in favor of a straight white male savior, no matter how bland he is.
You can say, but this is just fiction. How about a real life example?
Hillary Clinton. She never sexually assaulted anyone. She never mocked people with disabilities. She maintained a single successful marriage. She's a successful businesswoman. Served in the Obama administration. Friends with Joe Biden and worked with him. Managed to even get Republicans to support her over the opposition.
Now then...why did Hillary lose the 2016 elections?
Because people decided that she was somehow on the same level as DONALD FUCKING TRUMP! Lets look at his record: Multiple divorces. Multiple failed businesses. Sexual assault, more than once. Mocked a disabled reporter. And more.
Yet despite him being a horrible human being? Because hillary was a woman, people decided that her flaws made her just as bad as donald trump.
Thousands of people refused to vote for her. Despite multiple democrats pleading with people to recognize the threat?
People decided that because hillary was a flawed woman? they would either not vote, or toss their vote for the green party, an anti-semitic political group that sabotaged democrats in the past.
more than 5 years later, after the GOP continue to spread harm and poison? People still stand by their refusal to vote for hillary.
If Hillary was a man, people would have voted for "him" in a heartbeat, flaws be damned.
And for those who say "but women and POC"... Look at the GOP.
Marjorie Taylor Green, Lauren Bobert, ben carson, etc etc.
How many women and POC in the GOP support racism, homophobia, misogyny, transphobia?
You want to see what those people believe in? Take a look at Florida.
Your gender, your race, etc does not stop you from being bigots or prejudiced.
And people would rather defend the idea of a white male protagonist either in fanfics or real life, rather than a complicated woman with flaws.
Because at the end of the day? Feminsim isn't about "a man being able to punch a woman" despite what shows like Konosuba seem to gloat about.
Feminism is about things like stopping gender gaps in paychecks. Its about allowing women to have a voice. Its about allowing women to have independence without being tied to a man. Its about women having their choices without a man influencing them or telling them how they should live their life. Its about shutting down the god damn mansplaining that so many fanfics, anime, manga, etc seem to embrace with the same passion that misogynists defend Naruto. Its about letting women have access to the same rights and privileges as a male.
RWBY is about that. Women are written as equal to men. Women are written as being able to make their own choices without having a man decide for them. Mansplaining is removed. LGBT rights are embraced and encouraged. And women, not men, are the protagonists.
Is it any wonder that people influenced by male fragility, toxic masculinity, and the patriarchy have such a hatred for shows like RWBY and Legend of Korra?
And THIS is why I stand by my beliefs that RWBY Criticism is rooted in homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, and misogyny. Also because the critics tend to be assholes on more than one occasion, but apparently people love men being assholes but hate the idea of women having a mood.
Honestly, It makes me root for Salem and Cinder Fall...at least they have a legitimate excuse for blowing shit up and setting everything on fire.
Also, this is a reminder to PLEASE vote in your political elections! No matter how flawed a Democrat Representative may be, do you really want a Republican holding power over you?

Graffiti has a special place in my heart as an art form- It can cause trouble in a capitalist and classist world, and spread a message that you believe in when there are no other outlets! This is a lovely little gem I found in Spain… Fight Patriarchy indeed! 💞

I had a thought yesterday night. I realized that almost all my traumas come from my father and the dysfunctional couple that my parents have. My mom is mostly the victim here, but still, their toxic couple dynamic scarred me for life.
Some examples:
In middle school, my father was crazy jealous and ultra controlling. He needed to know all my mom's whereabouts and would freak out if he saw her simply say hello to a male neighbor (but he had no problem flirting with every woman he would meet in the street...). Anyway, one day, he saw her looking out of the window and cooked up a story in his head that she was looking at a (nonexistent) lover (the street was literally empty). They had a huge argument because of that simple thing. During a car ride that evening, while my brothers and I were in the car mind you, he slapped her and throw her out. She had to walk back home and he didn't allow her to get in the house. I was freaked out obviously. But it's not over... A few days afterwards, he called for a "family meeting" (never had one of those beforehand) to let us know that he canceled our resident permit, that we were moving back to our home country, that he will divorce our mother and that we won't be seeing her anymore. I never cried so much in my life, I remember sobbing so much that I couldn't breathe. My reaction actually surprised him (the audacity). His answer to this horrible moment in my life: "hahaha it was just a joke, don't take it so seriously". Wtf! I'm not even kidding when I say that I had nightmares during months afterwards and I even got psoriasis from this whole event.
During my studies, I decided to do a year abroad. Before leaving for the fall semester, I worked with my mom during the summer to save some money. She worked as a cleaning lady and cleaned apartment buildings and stairwells. Obviously, we would bump from time to time into some people living there. Well... My dad helped me move to the country where I was doing my exchange. He actually drove me there. So I was stuck with him in a car for about 12 hours. After 2 hours of travel, he started his "interrogation". I felt uncomfortable and almost had a panic attack because I KNEW. I knew that it wasn't a random conversation, that every question was a trick and that he was looking for some kind of revelation. He wasn't just chit chatting although he was all smile and happy mood. He always used the same tactic with my brothers and I when he was fishing for information - and we learned to keep our mouth shut because he would overreact for the most random thing ever.... His goal with this whole conversation was to learn more about my mom's work and all the men that she was meeting there. Honestly, I remember being freaked out and I somewhat blacked out. My mistake was pretty much saying "oh yes there are male tenants there" (crazy right). Well, he drove me to my student dorm, took out all my things and drove right back home although he was supposed to stay a few days to visit with me. I remember seeing him leave in a hurry and I had a horrible feeling. I didn't hear from my mom for a few days which was weird - I mean I was abroad by myself and she wasn't even calling to see how I was doing? But I was afraid of calling her. Subconsciously, I knew something had happened and I didn't want to deal with it. Call it selfishness but after some time, it becomes too much to bear. It was actually my brother who texted me to let me know what was going on at home. My parents had a huge fight and he broke her back. My brother had to intervene and she had to be hospitalized. They lied and said that she had hurt herself at work... I felt horrible because I was the reason it happened. I mean sure, I know it's not me, but you can't help having those kind of thoughts. I made a second mistake: I texted my mom: "Hey I heard from #brother# what happened, how are you doing?". Problem: my father had my mom's phone and it lead to an argument with my brother who stopped talking with me for weeks afterwards because he was angry that I tried contacting our mom. The worst? My dad calling me and trying to downplay the whole thing, trying to coax me... I felt disgusted, but I played his game, like my brothers did, like my mom did. We all pretended it never fucking happened.
A few years ago, I was living in Paris for my last year of master's degree. I came to visit my parents during Christmas break. My mom had been gifted some chocolate by some old ladies where she was cleaning and wanted me to pretend that I was the one who bought it for her. Nothing new, we always had to lie about things like that because again my dad is far from being a normal human being. A few days after I came back in Paris, I remember being in the metro with my friends. We had just finished our class and we were going back home. I had received a message from my dad and when I opened to read it, it was simply "Where did you buy the chocolate?". I just broke down crying. In the middle of the metro. Just because of this one fucking text message. I actually had a full blown panic attack and it freaked out my friends. I was terrified of answering this one dumb little question. Because I knew that it was fifty fifty. I couldn't call my mom to match our stories and I didn't know what exactly she had told him. Anyway, I gave the wrong answer and my mom paid the price.
Kinda a depressing post. I came back to live with my parents two years ago and it's so weird seeing them have a "normal" relationship (for what it is). I'm angry because they fucked my whole childhood and now they are all lovey dovey. My mom told me a few months ago regarding my celibate status which bothers her greatly: "Sometimes, I feel like it's our fault.". Yeah, it surely is my dad's fault. Men are really trash, you won't be able to change my mind.
