Incredibly funny missing RWBY scene: Ironwood having to tell Winter, completely serious, that Qrow can turn into a bird.

#RWBY #winter schnee #james ironwood #qrow branwen #'sir please tell me you're fucking with me' #'I've seen him do it. I can confirm with my own eyes Qrow Branwen can in fact turn into an actual crow' #'...I still don't believe you.' #'I have it on video him flipping me off then turning into a bird and flying out the window'

Ozpin is straight up the funniest character in rwby I don't care what ANYONE says

Dude delivers a heartfelt graduation speech and is immediately like "now get out of here"

Not to mention all the Other Shit. Like immediately embarrassing Oscar, giving Ironwood hot chocolate from a tea kettle (and not blinking when Ironwood spikes it), his stupid chair, his dumb ass glasses, the fact that he's dressed for winter in the summer, the fact he throws his students off of cliffs, the sass

Like sir. Who are you

Literally no one talks about how fucking funny Ozpin is and it's so sad

#felix (host) #rwby #ozpin #rwby rambles #rwby after the fall #james ironwood #oscar pine #anyone who says otherwise is wrong #this is the ONE part of his character that everyone misses #hes so fucking funny even unintentionally #that man is Autistic

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

#rwde #super rwde #anti rooster teeth #fuck rooster teeth #fuck you RT #pro ironwood #pro james ironwood #i hate it here #let rwby die

Listening to the V7 director commentary for the first time and I almost dropped my jaw when I heard Luna call the racist drunkards the "faces of Mantle" like??

You want these two assholes to represent all of Mantle yet expect the audience to give a shit when it's threatened? Fuck em and fuck Mantle!

#rwde #also why tf did they want to keep floating atlas a secret so bad? #it's not worth keeping secret considering it means jack shit #'ooo the city floats' okay AND???? the most yall did w it was make it fall to destroy two major cities and dehome a gazillion people #people that the audience never knew and cant give a flying fuck abt #iirc the only speaking roles of *actual* mantle people were either racist douche canoes or a joke #why tf was that activist so looney if we're supposed to think positively of Robyn? i wouldnt trust a politician if that was her support #esp if her v first on screen appearance is an attempted ambush on our heroes!!! #i was genuinely shocked to learn i was supposed to trust her bc everything in the framing was telling me hell fucking no #the only framing that helps her is being pitted against Jacques so cartoonishly which is hardly a feat #a grimm would look good compared to jacques #deadass tho theres nothing more damning to the 'ironwood was always evil' theory than the commentary #they talk so positively abt him and talk abt how they had lots of discussions abt how they wanted him to go #if he was evil from the get go those discussions wouldnt be necessary and the early chapter v7 commentary would be foreshadowing shit

I wrote this up a little while ago but never actually posted it, and with everything going on right now, I think I probably should anyway.

It's pretty absurd to me how so many people view RWBY as a queer and feminist story and anyone who dislikes the way it writes it's male characters is a misogynist, but when you actually bother to look at it, you see that the male characters it tends to demonize are only the male characters that our real-world society has already othered.

James Ironwood has extensive prosthetics and an atypical body and is often described as literally being "half robot" and Adam Taurus is an in-universe minority who was permanently blinded and disfigured by one of his oppressors and is literally an animal person. Jaune Arc, is a white, blue eyed, blonde haired, heavily coded as straight and cis young man. He is the textbook idea of a young male hero in a coming of age story, and he is essentially the show's real main character.

The male characters in RWBY who tend to be demonized and painted as villains and monsters, are people who are already not accepted by the status quo. Adam and Ironwood are the Other. Jaune is the young Hollywood hero.

In fact, let's do a little bit of lightning round in how much RWBY holds up ideals about how the Other should be treated.

Jacques Schnee is a white capitalist abuser who subjugates faunus and treats his family like shit. Not only is he considered basically not an actual threat in the Atlas Arc, (that would be Arthur Watts, the brown man, and James Ironwood, the disabled PSTD having Asian man) but he's actually a gold digger who married into the family fortune. He is literally the Other to the Schnee family and "doesn't belong there" among the legitimately lebensborn looking German coded Nicholas "colonizer" Schnee and his neglectful drunk daughter. They even gave this man black hair that he dyed white to really rub in how not pure blooded he is.

Arthur Watts and Hazel Reinhart are clearly darker skinned characters and are a part of Salem's cabal. Hazel Reinhart, whether the writers intended this or not, is an idiot who couldn't accept his sister making her own decisions in life and chose to work with her murderer to kill that murderer's abuse victim. Arthur Watts is a remorseless terrorist who has no qualms with rigging elections or taking away the bodily autonomy of young white girls.

Tyrion Callows is clearly some form of mentally ill and is an in-universe minority with a racial trait (that seems like it would be pretty heavily stigmatized if I'm being honest) that gets forcibly amputated by someone who is relatively more privileged than him in his society and later replaced with a prosthetic, making him physically disabled as well.

Mercury Black is an abuse survivor who suffered physical abuse so horrible he had to get his legs amputated.

Anyone else sensing kind of a theme here?

Ironwood killing Jacques before going after Winter is so funny to me because James didn’t even have to. Bastard was locked up and wouldn’t pose that much of a threat due to being a complete wimp. He killed him because Jacque was THAT annoying. He had already decided to go after Winter once he escaped and then was like “oh one more thing”.

And I think it's especially interesting because it's another time with those two characters that Jacques is actually the one in the right. There's no reason to kill him. He's a piece of shit and deserves worse, probably, but the fact that Ironwood takes the time to take him down specifically because he's so detached from reality and has decided that he's the only one allowed to make decisions about who lives or dies is less about Jacques himself and more about Ironwood losing the last shred of who he used to be.

#like I'm glad the bitch is dead but goddamn. ironwood's not at all the hero he pretends to be and that is made VASTLY clear by everything #he ever does #he's so fucking terrified all the time and he's so in denial about that fact. and that's his eventual downfall #even in v4!!!! to be clear jacques wants the atlas blockade to stop out of selfish reasons BUT HE'S RIGHT. #THE BLOCKADE IS A /BAD/ THING. made out of fear and paranoia!!!! we as the audience just dont want to agree with him ever bc mr schnee is #the WORST #but he's RIGHT. #anyway. yeah. #rwby #jacques schnee #james ironwood #smokey answers #lordjarman

[bestworstcase]

Do you think the discourse around Ironwood being "right" even when he obviously isn't is partly driven by people's ingrained perception about Western Imperialism?

i think the rwby fandom as a whole is just profoundly bad at reading what rwby is doing thematically and fandom in general is set up to incentivize fighting to the death over countertextual readings so like. what do you expect to happen, really.

of course fandom discourse will always reflect the wider cultural zeitgeist and in that sense the average rwby viewer is bathing in US military propaganda all the time and sure that might be a factor in why some folks latched onto ironwood—or winter or clover or the ace-ops or frankly i would argue any of the core heroic cast given that all of them are, you know, members of an elite warrior-police caste. lol.

but ironwood and other stupid discourse is largely a symptom of fandom being… what it is. that’s the end result of building a passionate community around the “fuck canon” text-as-sandbox approach. hrhghdj

#go outside #or hit up someone who doesn’t think the diehard ‘ironwood was WRONGEVILBAD’ crowd is equally obnoxious #like #hrhghdj ironwood gets deliberately fucked with for months by salem’s agents and loses an arm and is psychologically terrorized and cracks #and the ‘ironwood was right’ people are like it’s ooc for him to act irrational #[HE HAS NOT SLEPT FOR LIKE 72 HOURS AND JUST LOST AN ARM.] #while the ‘ironwood wrongevilbad’ contingent are like no he’s just bad and having a tantrum #because that’s what those people say about Every Villain In This Story #because they want it to be a morality play so bad #Salem Deliberately Pushed Him Until He Snapped Also Atlas As A Whole Was Rotten. what’s not clicking. mhrhdhd

My quest to defeat Caleb Hyles' backing vocals continues...

#rwby #rwby music #james ironwood #i had zero fucking clue there was a choral element in the intro #every other frequency scrub i've done got rid of it #i. am. happy!

[dowhatteverer]

No, we appreciate that he's an interesting and complex character just fine. We just think that the writer's ableism is something to be criticized rather than praised. Also, exactly none of his flaws included wanting to bomb poor people or shooting children. It came out of nowhere, you just refuse to acknowledge the show's flaws or the repeated and blatant ableism in the show's writing because you'd rather suck the dicks of a bunch of mysoginistic homophobic ableist abusive frat bros than actually think about what real disabled people are criticizing the show for.

Rule of thumb, anyone who thinks Ironwood arc was done we'll is probably an ableist shitbag.

#rwde #james ironwood #god i fucking hate these anti rwde people so fucking much #amd they've got a wings of fire profile pick #i fucking love wings of fire and now im even more upset
