Wait... this isnt Jacques? This is Ironwood?
RT, why? Why do you keep bringing him up? You saw how slandering him has divided your fans worse than your bee ship your so desperate to use as queer bait so why do you constantly drag him through the mud? Are you just going to flat out admit you hate Asians and amputee's?
Alright my fellow Pro Ironwood protectors, gather, we aint gonna let this slide. Yall wanna start a new Hashtag called #LetRWBYDIE

I got RWBY and the Atlas arc on the brain again and I just want to throw some more praise at CRWBY for how they used Jacques in this arc.
They prime us to hate his guts before we even meet him. Everything Weiss has told us about her home life, and everything Blake has said about the SDC indicates to the audience that Jacques is an abusive, controlling, racist shitheel. We know he's awful before we ever see him.
So in these scenes they set him against Ironwood, a character who we're familiar with and came across as dodgy but ultimately on the side of the angels in his past appearances. Ironwood is one of the only two people in all of V4 who is actually supportive of Weiss, and he stands up to the antagonist of her arc every time they interact.
And then we get to V7, and slowly, gradually, it becomes apparent that most of Jacques' interactions with Ironwood are a giant case of "Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made a Great Point." He's frequently right for the wrong reasons (I.E. calling out Jimmy for closing the borders, not because unity in the wake of the Fall of Beacon is important, but because it's hurting his profit margins), but he's consistently one of the characters who calls Ironwood out the most for his fascistic shit.
But because we know he's Jacques and he's awful (and he is awful, this is not a Jacques Schnee Defence Post), the writers are able to bury that a little until all the pieces fall into place in Volume 7.
I could probably write a full-on essay about how good Ironwood's descent into tyranny is, and the role that the villains play in it, because this show is so fucking good when the writers get to cook. Maybe I will at some point.

Nothing like an epilogue set in Remnant without RWBYJ to really make you realize how many characters we lost in V8.
Like, I never looked around the Ever After wondering where Hazel had gone.
Now I'm counting heads and little red letters trying to find Penny.
Even being briefly puzzled why we hadn't checked in on Ironwood.
Like, fuck, man.

Who the hell wrote this?!
At the biweekly Huntsmen and Huntress atlas staff meeting.
Ironwood: Thank you very much, Dr Smith, for that talk on personal hygiene. Now our next point, Jaune Arc would like to talk to all of you about a situation regarding the suggestion box.
Ironwood leaves the podium and Jaune takes his place.
Jaune: Thank you sir. *ahem* Ok, I checked the suggestion box I put out a week ago, and I have a question for you all. Who the hell wrote "I want to be impregnated by our cute Knight, Jaune Arc"?! *He says angrily*
~Silence~
Jaune: Okay?! Anyone?!
Ruby: *She stands up and starts clapping*
*Clap Clap Clap Clap*
Jaune: *Confuse* What are you doing?
Yang: *She also stands up and starts clapping*
*Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!*
Jaune: Hey, this is serious. Stop it!
Weiss, Blake and Winter follow them and start clapping
*Clap!Clap!Clap!Clap!Clap!Clap!Clap!Clap!*
Jaune: Stop! This is not a game!
Ignoring what he says, more people start to get up and clap.
*CLAP!CLAP!CLAP!CLAP!CLAP!CLAP!CLAP!CLAP!*
Jaune: What the fuck?! Is this a standing ovation?!
Their applause becomes louder
CLAP!CLAP!CLAP!CLAP!CLAP!CLAP!CLAP!CLAP!
Jaune: STOP!!!

Yang Priorities
Yang: Hey Jaune.
Jaune: Yes?
Yang: Remember that question me and Winter asked you?
Jaune: Yes.
Yang: Be honest with me then am I a good sister?
Jaune I mean you are better than me but not better than Winter or Sapphron.
Yang: How so?
Jaune: Yang you have been doing Ruby dirty for a while.
Yang: Not true.
Jaune: Yang on her first day you abandoned her. How do you think we met?
Yang: um.
Jaune: Our initiation, you never once tried to save her. Weiss did that.
Yang: Okay but that was because she needed to toughen up. Especially if she is going for the big leagues.
Jaune: Okay. First mission.
Yang: Oh come on, I was asleep. I found her and hugged her.
Jaune: Okay. After the fall of Beacon.
Yang: Okay you can not fault me for that. I was going through it.
Jaune: You were crying over a girl. At least she was alive.
Yang: I lost my arm.
Jaune: Protecting Blake who you were crying over. And you got a new one. I stepped up and went with Ruby to Mistral.
Yang: I eventually came back.
Jaune: You did. But not before going after Raven. The deadbeat.
Yang: She was my-
Jaune: Bitch, you could've just called once you were close to the city.
Yang: It would have taken me hours.
Jaune: You had a bike.
Yang: Still.
Jaune: Okay then back Blake. You talk shit about how your mom did you dirty. But suddenly when Blake did the same shit and came back you forgave her.
Yang: She's different. She did it to protect us.
Jaune: That's great. But here's the thing, um, we were in danger anyways. What the fuck do you mean?!
Yang: … … I-
Jaune: And the crazy part is, you prioritize Blake a lot more than your own sister.
Yang: Not-
Jaune: Yang, Beacon you gave her a lecture because she was obsessed with the White Fang.
Weiss: Then in the house, you got Blake out first before Ruby.
Jaune: Yang you were against telling Ironwood a lie and called Ruby out on it.
Weiss: Not once but twice.
Yang: Weiss!
Weiss: You're right. He is going to do the same thing to me. But still.
Jaune: But all of a sudden when Blake wanted to talk with Robyn you agreed to that shit! With no debate!
Yang: Okay that-
Jaune: Then when that old lady talked bad about Faunuses, you were ready to talk shit considering your girl is a Faunus.
Yang: Okay, I-
Jaune: Nah, bitch, I am not FUCKING done. The Ever After you were crying over your sister, but before, what were you doing that you didn't notice her having a mental breakdown?
Yang: Umm… well-
Jaune: See bitch I should- Ooh. Ooh.
Yang: Okay but-
Jaune: And then when she finally broke down. Start yelling at Blake, you jump in front, protecting her, from your own sister.
Yang: Okay but I am still there for her.
Jaune: You're right. You do. But still, you need to start balancing Blake and Ruby because if you don't, then your relationship will be just as bad as Qrow’s.
Yang: Yeah you're right. But hold on what makes you worse?
Jaune: Yang, I have seven sisters. The one sister you met, I allowed all of you into her house. Eat her food. Cracked her walls. Risked her wife’s job and in danger her whole family to get us to Atlas. And guess what, I never told her about Salem or the mission we're on. She's probably worried sick especially because I barely write to her.
Yang: Damn.
Jaune: In fact I haven't talked to my family in years. I haven't spoken to anyone in my family since Beacon.
Yang: What?
Jaune: You heard me.
Yang: Oh my God, Jaune, you need to go home.
Jaune: *stressed out* I know!
