😍😍😍😍 We love seeing Rooster Teeth not make sure their influencers are complying with the FTC 😍😍😍😍

Even if an influencer is not paid in $$$ to promote a product if you get free stuff you need to CLEARLY disclose to your audience that you got it for free.
This isn't a public drag of Arnold (obviously) or AG by the way: this would be a Rooster Teeth problem

Just a quick google search and it's the companies that are getting sued here apparently, not the influencers who promoted the products.

Yang honey are you okay?

I want to make a video about the merch but the plumbers are here (third times the charm amiright). The hoodies are the same as the shirts, just line art instead of being fully coloured. Yang’s face seems like it’s the only weird one, others are fine
I do like these flower ones, but I already have the flower shirts so I can’t see me buying what is basically the same design but just with the characters slapped on top. I still think they’re really pretty though, worth for the people who didn’t get the flower shirts the 1st time
Everything is pretty reasonably priced this time around. Honestly it’s going to depend on how the designs actually look on a person for me. On some of the models the design takes up a lot of the shirt but on some of the other models there’s a lot of empty space? Maybe the sizes?

ML really gave me everything RWBY hasn’t sksksksksk.

CURLY HAIR

Buff muscular women

Gay Superheroes who are confirmed to be together in show

Also, not my rep to say whether it was good or not, but people have said Aeon & Jess (and the other indigenous rep) were done well ImageImageImageImage
ML has always been good on the LGBT+ side.

Juleka & Rose confirmed. And the show has always included them alongside the other couples, making sure the audience knows their relationship is the same as the romantic het ones. They’ve also canonly kissed, watch any scene compilation ImageImage
We don’t get to see Nathaniel & Marc as much because Marc isn’t in the class like Juleka & Rose are, so hopefully they improve on that, fans have gotten confirmation though!

Marc is also intentionally designed after a genderfluid friend of the creator & is confirmed LGBT+ ImageImage

Full offense but RT is running a whole ass scam at the moment. The audacity to charge $136 when the art is recycled from Amity Arena, not even original.

No wonder it doesn't even blend well with the fucking jean, it wasn't even made for this jacket! ImageImage
(Pic 1) Me: Mom can I buy this RWBY Demin?

(Pic 2) Mom: We have RWBY Demin at home ImageImage
β€œWhy did you say β€˜scam’ Cal?”

Look at 1-2 & how it’s clearly stated to be manga art. Look at the jacket. No indication it’s from Amity Arena

Some people’s purchase may sway by whether it’s original or not. Or less worth the price if they knew it was from AA. But it’s omitted ImageImageImageImage

To clarify, since this has been wildly taken out of the context of our discord conversation:

People were saying that because Nora is autistic or coded as such, there is β€œno way” she could read Ren’s facial expressions or body language.

I was saying that is a harmful mindset
We can argue whether or not Nora kissing Ren is consensual, but it is NOT automatically un-consensual just because she may be coded as autistic (I don’t think this has ever been confirmed).

That was my argument in the larger conversation, multiple people were apart of.
I find it a little bit concerning that someone could take one single comment and twist it to this degree.

I tend to type line by line instead of sending all my thoughts in one message, so I may need to start writing walls of text to prevent people from doing this shit

Unpopular V8 Opinion: I think it would cheapen Salem's damage if say, all the Happy Huntresses die, all the Ace Ops die, but none of the mains do. It'll show they want to show blood, but don't want to commit to the ones we're actually attached to. Kill off Ren & Nora. Hurt us
I picked Ren / Nora becauseafter their "romance arc" & the problems that has been causing, we have squeezed all the juice imo. Especially Ren because we know his backstory. Whereas Jaune still has beef with Cinder

But I have no opposition to outside the main 7 dying, like Winter
Ren and Nora are at their max almost, it's just their relationship issues that is keeping things spicy. When we go to Vacuo we will have Team CFVY and SSSN.

I think characters need to die in order to make room for them.

I think it really depends on the fan base that your favorite thing has around. My enjoyment of RWBY is totally heightened by making content of it every year.

On the other hand, some other Fandoms from other things I like have borderline harassed me because I'm a girl, SO, lol
Sometimes the enjoyment aspect can even differ between platforms. For example, streaming Persona 5 R on Twitch was an awesome experience, to engage with people in the community critically about the 3rd semester and have them see my play for the first time. BUT-
Uploading my Persona 5 R reactions from those streams to YouTube hasn't been as nice. Especially for my video about the bad / ideal ending. Instead of having that dialogue you're able to have in a Twitch stream, people have been saying I'm an idiot for how I felt about the game
