Just a reminder that unlike Adam Taurus, Blake Belladonna has actually been SHOWN to have been abusive in the series. She slapped Sun 3 times, tried to destroy his scroll, demeaned & was agressive with the guy after he came to from being stabbed by the psycho she'd forgive! #RWBY
And yes, Adam slapped, stalked, choked & even stabbed Blake, but many people seem to be forgetting a crucial detail. This all occured long after the two were no longer lovers/friends & they were now enemies. Meanwhile, poor Sun was Blake's friend & her-then-romantic interest!
But because the writers said this was an error due to "miscommunication" of the animators, the fandom labeling Sun a "stalker" for watching over Blake & Blake hitting Sun being played for comedy, it's never touched on again. But this is not okay & it's not funny. Abuse is abuse!

Here's another idea I would've implemented in Kamen Rider Saber, the 3 Calamity Blades. Unlike the holy swords, these powerful blades & their Wonder Ride Books have the ability to effect their users' minds and control them to a varying degrees. Always negatively.

#OtherSaber
The sword of wrath would hold the power to incite feelings of rage and hatred within their user through magnifying these emotions within them and whispering its own wrath and bloodlust to them. Its wielder becomes the dreaded Kamen Rider Falchion; a previous Master Logos' wife.
The sword of sorrow would hold the power to incite feelings of despair & sadness within their user through combing its pained "heart" with them. This would result in the user usually being driven insane and becoming a mindless beast. Its wielder becomes Kamen Rider Primitive.

V8 was essentially RWBY's "Day of Black Sun". An intense time in the series before the finale, where the stakes were at their highest yet, the chips were all on the table and the hype was at its peak. This was the volume RWBY needed to kill it...and it failed, miserably.
#RWBY ImageImage
This was the volume our big bad was directly getting involved, all of our other villains had assembled, the ones who opposed them were divided, there was no chance at anyone coming to help them and the fate of 2 cities, 2 maidens & 2 relics were on the line...and it just bombed.
It's not even a case of "oh you just don't like it", no, this volume was quite possibly the worst in all of RWBY! The protagonists were complete idiots, our big bad did NOTHING, James' character got the Adam treatment, Penny was a complete waste & kids never learned or grew...

Okay, real talk. To those dumb enough or egotistical enough to use this tweet to divert criticism &/or complaints towards Miles & Kerry, just know you guys are disgusting imbeciles. You are literally using a dead man's-you claim to love-words as a deterrent for criticism.

#RWBY
Do you people not realize that criticism is based around analyzing and breaking down that which is brought to the table? Personal connection or disillusioned attachment don't hold any sway on true criticism. Friends or not, Miles & Kerry are bad at the job they were chosen for.
And you want to know something else, Monty himself isn't exempt from receiving criticism either, so don't pull that "Monty pedestal" bullshit. He may have been a great animator who could deliver high octane fights, but in terms of writing, he was severely lacking & it showed.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Local critic/asshole uses voice to attempt to better articulate objectivity in both art as a whole & RWBY!

#RWBY

Also, I apologize for the poor quality and occasional puffs of air on the mic, I was using my phone for this.

I really despise seeing RWBY fanatics using Monty as a tool to deflect criticism. Saying critics, "insult him" or some shit. Yeah no, criticism isn't directly insultive.

Also, insulting Monty? Tell that to those that turned his last baby into a complete joke & shit-show.

#RWBY
And yes, I'm well aware that Miles & Kerry are just as much RWBY's creators as Monty, but those 2 can still go off & create more...Monty sadly cannot & therefore RWBY is the last remnant of his legacy. It has such incredible potential...but it's in the hands of utter incompetence Image
And I know many of you will say this is just me being an asshole or targeting Miles & Kerry when other factors & people were involved. Let me say this...

If these 2 are the ones we praise when things go well, why shouldn't they be the ones we admonish when things go to hell?

#CJs2Cents: Subjectively, I love Demon Slayer and find it great & very enjoyable, especially the anime itself; which I feel is where the series shines the brightest. However, if I'm looking at the story & characters from an objective perspective...they're both just "okay".
There's little to no worldbuilding, and the demons themselves don't really have much effect on the setting around them outside of those who know they exist. I'm not asking for everyone in the world to know of this secret war, but you could at least have the government be aware.
Hell, we barely understand how these supernatural monsters came to exist or have their insane powers and appetite for humans from the source that turned Muzan all those years ago. We just pretty much just gloss over that whole thing when you think about it.
