Hello canonseeker, having another lying session in between impersonating women of colour on Reddit and Twitter? Wanted to adress 2 of the things this person has brought up that are categorically wrong.

I do not know in what kind of mysoginistic hellholes does Canonseeker spend his days, but most people, especially critics have praised the DC Yang design in the newest picture. In fact, Yang has received amazingly well in comparison to the others, especially WW.

Many people have also stated that the muscles is very much part of the reason WHY they like that Yang design, as far as her breasts go people are half and half, of course, some are oggling them, while others are asking whether or not the size increase was really necessary.

As some additional proof, gathered a few quotes from one of the threads from the RWBY critics sub.

The word "stacked" can be seen in two ways, but it seems that people are refering more to the muscles of Yang than her other assets.

I also wanted to touch upon the Raven Branwen claim.

Many critics of the show, have noticed and have called out how the show weirdly villainizes and does not redeem male characters while many of the female characters get redemptions or other such things.

Raven is a perfect example of that.

Just as a reminder, Raven is a bandit that murders entire villages and pillages them for resources, as far back as V4 we have seen villages destroyed in her wake in team RNJR journeys. She also murdered the last maiden whose powers she stole. That is on top of her being a dead-beat mom who abandoned her child.

Its fine if one hates Ironwood/Adam for the things they did. But can you not pretend that Raven is some innocent dove? Because that shit is annoying considering shes a mass murderer at this point.

Shes like a more villainous Emerald, and yet people still feel the need to excuse or "forget" her actions.

canonseeker/answerseeker/eren acting like he’s ever cared about gaza is hilarious, especially when there’s receipts of him from years ago arguing that israel wasn’t trying to expand its borders.

walking hypocritical liar and a self-proclaimed zionist as well. it’s so funny how his mind works.

Oh what a loser

Canonseeker made a video full of fabricated screenshots of SYTO/Switchback Channel to paint SYTO as a racist, sexist, and homophobic bigot. This is why the RWBY community needs to blacklist Canonseeker and IP ban him whenever he springs up.

The video in question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fig78ADRjug

Canonseeker, no, Eren. I know you think you can get away with saying anything on the internet no matter how ludicrous or false, but this time you have crossed the line. Your video can be seen as actionable enough for someone to take legal action for libel, impersonation, and slander against you, and you just provided free evidence for it. Now, I am not saying that I individually will throw a lawyer at you, but someone with financial backing could definitely do so now and they’d likely win the case. There’s so much evidence of your behavior and actions from dozens upon dozens of people who would be more than willing to testify against you because you’ve been doing this for several years now.

Eren, you fabricated screenshots of SYTO in his name, impersonated him on a sockpuppet account in your own private Discord server (Incorrect name color, for one, made it quite easy to tell it was fake, not to mention the impersonations are so poorly done that it’s clear you just wrote in your own mannerisms the SYTO you imagined him to be.) and you wrote statements in his name that are 100% designed to paint him as a racist, sexist, and transphobic bigot. You have put your own words into SYTO’s mouth. You should not only delete the video in question, you should own up, apologize for this blatant violation of the law, delete all your sockpuppet accounts and never interact with social media ever again. You are unwelcome. The people who respond to your false statements, myself included, do not want to be around you. If someone says no, Eren, you need to respect that and stop going after people. You keep repeating the same behavior over and over, bypassing us blocking you. You aren’t some child or teenager who doesn’t know any better. You’re a 34 year old grown man. Act like it. Take some responsibility for once in your life and respect people’s boundaries. You are not above the law, and you are not above people’s privacy and personal space.

(And to those who say, “Canonseeker goes by They/Them!”, all of his official profiles on websites like LinkedIn and Facebook are distinctly He/His, not to mention all of the porn he’s commissioned specifically focuses on Taiyang, who is Canonseeker’s favorite character for him to project his fantasies onto. If he was truly They/Them, he’d be commissioning more variety than just straight Taiyang porn. He’s also not above pretending to be women of color on his alt accounts while being a middle-aged white man, so make that of what you will.)

I know that you know what you’re doing is wrong, which is why you’re so keen on continuing this ridiculous charade because it means you get attention. I know nothing of your personal life, but I do know you are constantly in debt, starving yourself, and continuing to burn yourself out by being angry online seemingly every waking hour at people who don’t want to hear from you. This can’t be allowed to continue. If I see you make one more post or video talking about how I or SYTO or Calxiyn or Vexed or MurderOfBirds or anyone else is some “racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, bigot, etc.”, I’ll be notifying the appropriate authorities. You do not deserve a platform of which you weaponize to spread hatred and conflict.

That’s all I will say for now. I am a very busy person, I can’t be spending my limited time alive talking to a brick wall.

Canonseeker Update

Current Twitter alt: Onemorefanofshows (@camadnijuve)

Current Tumblr alts: iamafanofcartoons; onesheeptwosheepandachicken

Current YouTube usernames: Alicia Garske; Vernon Dokon

Current Discord name: dextercalliem#6439

DO NOT INTERACT. Block on sight and move on. This post is to raise awareness, not encourage harassment.

Canonseeker/Answerseeker is a known toxic member of the RWBY fandom. He has been banned/muted across Reddit, YouTube and Discord and hides in multiple accounts/usernames across Tumblr and Twitter as well, stalking blogs and harassing content creators. He will often use these accounts to deceive, usually pretending to be new to the fandom - in order to gain trust with unaware members of the community. You can read this doc for more info about his behavior.

His constant dummy accounts and attempts to evade bans and deceive other fans makes him hard to find, which is why myself and a group of others personally affected by his harassment have found his various alts across the internet and compiled them here.

If you are a content creator/artist, be very careful as he will try to act nice with you in the hopes of buying commissioned art, which he is known to not be able to pay for. If you create RWBY content on YouTube, mute him from your channel as he may act positive at first but will eventually start arguments and comment wars in your comment section, ruining your video's experience for everyone else. He also may DM you on Discord pretending to be someone else, often seeking pity and lying about being wrongfully banned from other servers, being harassed/doxxed, or someone "impersonating" him. Do not believe his fake narratives.

Be careful when dealing with him; he is a known liar and will use kind and encouraging words simply to help him gain favour with others to keep his new dummy account in good graces, but will turn against you once you call his bluff. Again, DO NOT INTERACT with him; just block him and make sure others know about his aliases.

Every time Canonseeker changes his alias, I will post a new update, along with a motivational quote for him in hopes that he will change his ways.

My Seeker Story

Hello everyone!

You may recognize me from YouTube, Twitter, Discord, wherever.

Well, I have a bit of a serious post to share.

Without further ado, let’s begin.

This is about someone who goes by AnswerSeeker, CanonSeeker, Eren, Yehuda, Mikhal, whatever they want to go by. 

Seeker has been a thorn in my side for the past year.

We used to be friends, but that changed after they started harassing people like Judgemental Critter, Calxyin, a lot of people with even the slightest bit of criticism about RWBY.

Seeker has also gone after me.

A few months ago, on this exact platform, Seeker has attacked me, saying I am a Vic Mignogna supporter (I am not, I was actually attacked by Vic stans), a Blacksun shipper (I am, but I also ship Bumbleby), and a bad person (I am not). 

Seeker also modded a Facebook group for RWBY fans that I was also a mod of. Seeker convinced everyone to let their second Facebook account be a mod as well, and it wasn’t until I exposed them for having 2 mod accounts that they were kicked out of the group.

Seeker recently went after a friend of mine and said lies about me personally. They go to this friend to complain about me and lie about me, and just today, they doctored a screenshot of me saying I am sad that Seeker lost their job. I don’t even know what their job is!!! Then Seeker went on to spill abuse on this friend, saying “I wish I never met you”, “you brought pain and suffering to me”, all sorts of manipulation tactics. I was manipulated by Seeker too. They’ve sent me gifts, money, all sorts of things. Course I never got rid of them because A: the gifts are nice and B: one of them is a cosplay. 

Seeker has tried to send people after me multiple times. I stated one earlier, but another time, they’ve tried to go into other Discord groups and tried to send people after me. They’ve also made their Discord name “YoureDoxxingMeMaddie” (Maddie is the name I go by). I’ve NEVER doxxed anyone, what Seeker considers “doxxing” is revealing usernames. That. Is. Not. Doxxing.

Anyway, I think that’s all I can think of.

Here is a document compiling evidence against Seeker. You can find proof to things I’ve said in it: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z3WG32Ze9t2uPPfudichhJfH1d29g7xWP-4AHX6feGE/edit

Here is also a callout video I made about Seeker: https://youtu.be/J6raCjU8t4E

That’s all the time I have for this post.

Stay safe out there, everyone!

[lunaefall]

You aren't anything like the callout doc suggested, Seeker. You are, in fact, much worse, and an actual fucking criminal.

You committed impersonation and defamation of certain people, including one FRIEND of mine.

You need to take a break from the internet and get some help, seriously, if a webseries is enough to drive you into such horrible actions.

[jj-is-ponytaku]

Last night, Eren/Canonseeker reached out to me after I blocked the guy on multiple social media platforms. Guy managed to find out that I had just started a new Tumblr (no thanks to a betrayer of mine for leaking details) and decided to DM me. Below are screenshots of their claims of "innocence".

Shortly after receiving these messages, I blocked Seeker instead of responding to them. I just can't take any more of his lies and treachery. Why bother talking to the guy, y'know? I wished I never even supported the guy in the first place, let alone even do a commission for him. Still not refunding your ass, because you deserve it.

[iamafanofcartoons]

Hey just wanted to ask, are you actually Canonseeker? I'm not accusing you or anything I just want to make sure, because thefloofartist linked your account and told people to block you and that you're Canonseeker, and that you're harassing him and posting false accusations and whatever

I don't believe him in the slightest about the false accusations and harassment but I want to make sure about the Canonseeker thing

No I am not. For some reason, I am accused of that.

My focus is on helping people, not attacking people.

You'll find that there's been a large number of people accused of being Seeker. I've seen for example this fellow

Anyone criticizing the critics gets accused of being Canonseeker.

If you criticize one of them on Youtube or disagree with their video?

Bam, you're instantly accused.

Its become something of a bogeyman term.

[dragynkeep]

Anti-RWDE rejecting Seeker just reeks of "We were willing to cover for your actions in the past but now people like Calxiyn are talking about this so we look bad if we don't suddenly distance ourselves." They'd have kept doing it no matter what.

fr though like 😭 seeker threatening people, harassing people & overall using some incredibly shitty & sleezy darvo tactics whenever they were trying to gaslight someone in defence of rwby as uwu super special precious perfect show, apparently wasn't the final straw. nor is them making a "positivity" rwbytuber list that a fair chunk of it is just porn with no age warning, therefore making potential minors who see it unsafe.

no going against a major rwbytuber who's on the "good side" while he's been harassing twiins & jc — no matter my own thoughts on them — with no reproach from his friends is clearly the final straw. because now it's them getting the backlash from seeker, now they have to deal with seeker's deranged, obssessive & creepy behaviour without justifying it with "well they hate my favourite cartoon waaaah."

"we didn't know" my fucking ass lmao. they knew & didn't care because they validated seeker's harassment against the right targets.

[dextixer]

Man, it never ceases to amaze me how the anti-RWDE crowd are all fake ass progressives that care more about projecting than anything else. RWDE does not care about the workers? Back when RT drama came out we are the ones who organized to actually help the victims, linked their donation pages, donated etc. YOU people in that moment instead thought it prudent to attack RWDE and did not even talk about RT at all! In fact, some of you even decided to DEFEND RT abuses!

I know that you hate Ironwood and Adam, but can you take your hateboner for those characters (That are not real people) out of talking about the abuses of workers by RT?

Your narrative that "RT is not CRWBY" is false to anyone who can open up google. Its EASY to see that Multiple FOUNDERS of RT or other high-level workers were involved in CRWBY.

Miles was the HEAD WRITER OF ANIMATION. Hes not some random writer. He was responsible for RT as a whole in terms of writing of animated shows.

These people KNEW what was happening around them and said and did NOTHING or even PARTICIPATED in it.

And once again Xelianthought the fake ass "progressive" then decides to lie that people are buying merch. I will need a source on that. I will need a source that RWDE people are buying merch. Because this is yet another narrative, another lie you are clinging onto to have ANY excuse to defend RT (Which you DO).

In reality, its people like YOU who are buying the merch and supporting RT. All so V10 would get greenlit. Because you dont give a shit about the workers, you just want product to be consumed.

All of this bullshit you just stated? Its just projection. Projection from people who do jack and shit besides DEFENDING corporations you love. Fake ass progressives.

It is about the workers. Those who you abandoned the exact time they quit. The people the RWDE people supported.

The only people who are being played are the people listening to your lies in defending a corporation. This is why people like you are dangerous. Just like corporations you pretend to be on the side of the progressives, while arguing for the status quo. You fake ass progressives sicken me.

Now either provide proof that RWDE people are buying merch as you say, or piss off back to your corporate overlords.

(And you know what you are doing, Xelianthought is adept at creating new narratives for corporate defending anti-RWDE ppl to focus on, he knows thats hes lying, he just doesnt care, because being a consoomer is more important to him)

And that is why you people are frustrated. Because many dont believe you. Because many more people know the truth about RT and CRWBY. And you cant stop them. Because your narratives dont work on everyone.

[thefloofartist]

Since when did canonseeker make videos involving the RWBY Fandom? And when did canonseeker have the ability to doctor images? You've always called him creatively and intellectually bankrupt, now suddenly he's able to do this? You know something is off. And its not the first time somebody pretended to be him. Who is Troy?

Canonseeker's actually made it clear for a while now that he had been wanting to make a video. While I'm pretty sure this Ask Me is just Canonseeker himself, in the 1% chance it's not, I'll try giving an answer as to how he made this video based on my experiences with video editing and image manipulation. If you're really not Canonseeker, I'd appreciate being messaged directly in Tumblr's chat instead of an Ask Me, because it makes verifying who is who much easier and differentiating between people who don't know about Canonseeker and people who do know. Again, sorry for the inconvenience. Moving onto the explanation! The quality of the video in question is something I could do in about 10 minutes in Vegas Pro 14. It's got two layers - Video and Audio. Video is where all of the images he used are uploaded to, while Audio is taken up solely by the music he picked. He starts the video with 8 seconds of blank screen (black) before it directly cuts to an edited version of SYTO's artwork. This image is the only one that lasts longer than 4 seconds that isn't the manufactured "conversation".

After this, each image he uses fades into the next one, and it isn't even timed properly to account for the dialogue that Canonseeker himself edited in since each image is on screen for the same amount of time, excluding the first and last one. What I think happened was that Canonseeker just dragged and dropped the images, overlaid them on top of each other in one layer, and called it a day. Their timestamps are too similar for this to not be the case.

After all the stolen art, the video directly cuts to a single, very vertical, image of the "conversation" between Canonseeker and CYTOseeker. This can be done quite easily. In Vegas Pro 14, you can click on an icon that brings up a timeline, set two points, and simply reposition the image so the video box is at different locations on the same image over a period of time. The program does all of the movement in between Point A and Point B for you. This can be done in under 30 seconds.

Once the nonsense passes by, it cuts to black again for about 7 seconds, but there's a flash frame at the end entirely in white. I'm not sure why this is the case, but it might be a piece of something else Canonseeker is working on, or just an image he forgot to slip in that he zoomed in way too far for.

The audio is the laziest bit about this. It's just music. No sound effects, no blending, no nothing. Dragged and dropped and that was that. This takes less than 3 seconds to do.

To answer on this "Troy" person, "Troy" is just a Canonseeker alt, considering the account was made yesterday and the video uploaded shortly after. "Troy" has never been mentioned or name dropped at any other point in the history of Canonseeker's shenanigans, so I really don't see why or how someone who is significant enough in Canonseeker's life would suddenly appear now of all times instead of several months ago when people were still unsure as to who or what Canonseeker was during all the callout posts.

That's all I'll say for now. See ya.

[sytokun]

This is the part that is the wildest to me. It's a common talking point with Canonseeker too, who as we speak is calling rewrites and any anime they don't like as misogynistic.

I've already disproved this nonsense take for my own project. Just the other day I saw Lilith mouthing off about my work on Reddit and how the first episode of my Remnants AU, quoting her, "made Qrow the main character".

Anyone with a brain who watches it would be able to tell that the episode is about Summer (it's kind of in the title idk, it's a novel activity called reading), or if we're being charitable, Qrow is a deuteragonist to Summer in it - and even then, the entire episode if anything, is just one giant origin flashback for Ruby.

These folks are so thickheaded their skulls are made of pure lead, forged to deflect all the dangerous thoughtwaves seeking to hurt them. Even if you were to rewrite RWBY and remove every male character or genderswap them until only women were left - guess what, bitches will still be bitching. They will find a way to harp on how the women are being written in a misogynistic manner and by misogynistic writers instead.

Let me remind you that Fairen is infamous for being a massive Madoka Magica hater who went rabid on any of its fans for liking it. You know, a show with an all-female cast. She was such a parasite there that she had to run to RWBY instead. How fucking lucky of us, lol.

It was never a matter of the media being critiqued. When you view the entire world with shit-tinted lenses like Fairen, nothing looks remotely good, pleasant or tolerable - everything is just degrees of disgusting. To live such a paranoid, joyless existence is misery incarnate.

I know I shouldn't expect anything to come from this, but Lilith posted something that actually excites me. Because it's something you can actually chew on and discuss.

(Why bring up Critter here? Is she just a posterchild for you? I hope you don't think I'm Critter because lol)

Lilith proving she doesn't understand what critique is for or how to implement it. I mean, we kind of all knew it, but it's nice of her to actually say it herself. Because she thinks critique is nothing but spewing obscenities for the purposes of bullying, and not, genuinely looking into what you perceive as an issue with something and explaining why it's a problem to you for others to agree with or disagree with.

No one has 'pride' in being a critic, and that's a stupid concept to begin with and shows just how off the mark she is. How far away she is from understanding anything.

The problem I have with you, is that you do not critique Fixing honestly. There have been people who have legitimately critiqued Raymond's work and there was discussion to be had there.

One person talked about how he thought Nora's arc, feeling guilty over being so jealous of Pyrrha and never reconciling their differences before her death was poorly done. That's fine as a criticism.

Another person more recently (due to me responding to you) looked at the show and thought that it was hypocritical of Raymond to say he didn't want to 'cop-out' on things like Pyrrha's death and yet brought Roman back. That's also fine as a criticism.

A lot of people (including me) criticized Raymond for replacing Oscar with Roman, as much as people liked the idea of Roman, because they wanted to see what Raymond would have done with Oscar. That's also valid criticism. I think Roman replacing Oscar is ultimately fine, but it's still disappointing due to the anticipation and expectation. (Hell, Raymond is on record as saying he hates Oscar and yet I've given him an Oscar in a (heavily Alt Uni/template for OW) rewrite scenario that Raymond absolutely loves. Because if canon isn't going to deliver, and the one rewrite I actively follow isn't going to deliver, I must do it myself.)

You on the other hand say that the show is shit because Raymond hates women. That he's queerphobic and an alt-righter. That's not valid criticism, that's attacking Raymond's character. You purposefully lie about the contents of the project to paint Raymond in a bad light. Everything you say about it is all meant to say how Raymond and the SH are bad people. Do you not understand the differences?

Even when people criticize M&K they're (mostly) not attacking them as people. And those that do, I disagree with them. But I don't care about engaging with RWBY outside of Fixing, so I've never commented. Even then, the majority of that talks about their behaviour in relation to how their views and beliefs and behaviours may inform their writing of the show. They talk about them as professional writers being paid by a company to write for a show. Once your work is out there, it's fair game for criticism and it's not evil of people to have problems with your writing ability and criticize it. No, not even wrong to criticize Raymond. But how you criticize is the key difference, and that is where you fail.

Libeling someone about their character and motivations because you don't like their fan project is why I started responding to you. Because that is abhorrent behaviour toward another fan of the show.

Rewriters don't have to come up with original plots. Depending on what the rewriter wants to do, it can be vastly different or similar to canon. With Fixing RWBY, Raymond liked enough of the canon show to see that it could be good. But there were a number of glaring issues that dragged the story down. Pointing those out and coming up with scenarios where those are rectified doesn't make one less creative. One criticism that a lot of people had was character bloat.

That comes in two parts:

The amount of characters that appear on screen who now have to have screen time devoted to them.

The lack of anything of substance to justify the characters' existence or make them feel like characters.

Why are these things a problem for people? Because if you aren't going to do much with the characters at all, then you're taking away screen time from the people who should be important: Team RWBY. This is why people criticize Jaune. As much as people like to claim he's meant to be a subversion of the typical shounen hero, he certainly gets a lot of big character beats played straight. Character traits and beats people think should have gone to someone from Team RWBY, or at the very least should have come after Team RWBY got their share. Because they're the title characters, yet people do not believe the show pays enough attention to them.

Now, do I believe you might possibly have valid criticism? If I'm generous, yes. You claim that he gives all of these character moments to various male characters. I disagree and I point out my reasoning as to why. So why do you believe he doesn't focus as much on the female characters? What constitutes the female characters having enough screen time for you to no longer be unhappy with Fixing?

As it stands, with how you go about your criticism, I can only conclude that you just dislike the inclusion of men at all in Fixing. Which, I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. RWBY is a female-led story, yes, but it's not a female-only story. It's not in canon, and it's not in Fixing. Male characters are going to have some presence in the story. The issue is how much, and more importantly, how much in comparison to the girls based on their arcs.

If, for instance, you say that maybe Blake talking out her issues should have been given to another female character. That's fine and valid as criticism. I could argue that all the female characters are a little too close to the issue and that wouldn't feel comfortable, especially since Blake still feels like an outsider in the group despite Ruby's attempts at mending that. Even Nora, and Neo is best friends with Yang, which might make such a conversation uncomfortable. So where does that leave Blake? You could force an interaction with a female NPC, but that is an unnecessary character added for one scene. No one is going to care about them. Or, you can add in Cardin and Russell, who are replacing one-off characters Dee and Dudley, as they are far removed from the group dynamics.

Now, Velvet could have fit this role perfectly, but that also comes with it's own set of issues. Namely, why would Velvet be following Team CRDL and not sticking with her own team? Sure, she and Cardin are friends, but they're not tied to the hip. But if it had to be a female character, I'd think Velvet would have been the perfect choice. But there'd be a lot of hoops to go through, and if replacing CRDL with CVFY, one member of Team CVFY would have to die.

That's... that's just fandom, man. Like I don't know what to tell you. This isn't unique to RWBY, it's just human nature. That's especially fandom that's been going through a dry spell of mainline content. Or do you mean Nitpick November, where the literal point was to talk about nitpicks because everyone accused critics of only talking about things that didn't matter?

What counts as worthwhile vs minor and inconsequential things, by the way? Who dictates what can or cannot be viewed as important? Immersion is not universal. Different things can take different people out of the story. Things that I miss, you might have stumbled with and vise versa. Something one person can overlook is something that bothers another person. Are you implying that there is a 'right' or 'wrong' when it comes to what people experience? And I'm talking about legitimate experiences here, not twisting something to fit a narrative. Since you mentioned Critter, I know for a fact that she ignored a lot of things that bothered her because she wanted to enjoy RWBY. She talked about it in her videos. And I sat there wondering why she'd tolerate so much, hand wave so many things that bothered her if it caused her a lot of grief. But that's what happens when you have passion for a show and it degrades in quality. As an outsider, I never got attached to the show to feel that frustration and desperation. But I've felt it with my own fandoms, so I can empathize.

Ironwood's actions are not minor in the story for V7&8. That deserves to be scrutinized, especially if people were unsatisfied with it. And people were also unsatisfied for different reasons. Sure, some people might have wanted him to be a good guy. Others did see where the writers were going with him but thought they stumbled and fell on their face just before the finish line. Others take issue with certain aspects and not the whole.

Characterization is more subtle and requires deeper dissection in order to properly define and justify. Ruby no longer focusing that much on weapons is a minor thing, sure, but people lament the flavour - the spice - it brought to RWBY, and it's little things like that which makes the meal. If enough spice is removed, you're left with blander food even though the larger meal is still intact.

Some do. Again, it depends on what the goal is. Specifically with Fixing, the goal was to try and preserve as much of canon as possible, but not being precious with it. It's disingenuous to look at other people's complaints and apply them specifically to one person in particular. He might not agree with those other people. 'Critics' aren't a hive mind and they can disagree with each other.

You haven't demonstrated anything of the sort. Would you have a problem if it was Oscar and not Roman getting all of these scenes? Then again, you've complained about Arslan getting any kind of development, even if it's just a few minutes sprinkled here and there, and she's not a male character. Velvet also got a lot more development in Fixing, even outside of Cardin, and the same with Neo. This is why I say you're disingenuous. You cherry-pick who you're going to focus on as getting development.

Team RWBY and Nora all have significant scenes for themselves and for their development.

Blake's entire arc in Menagerie was expanded and Sun kept his role as 'sidekick' to Blake. He didn't overshadow her at all.

Yang's arc had Neo to bounce off of and Neptune was a cameo. He only appeared briefly at the very end when Yang finally went to physiotherapy.

Weiss had an arc all to herself after leaving her home where she bounced off Vernal and Raven, two female characters. Shiloh was a background element, important enough only because he had a special relationship to Vernal.

Sienna gets more in the way of we see her actively working in the White Fang and with Adam where it's not just something spoken about in dialogue the moment she appears and a few minutes before she's killed off. We see her deteriorating relationship with Adam as their ideologies differ. We're shown, not told.

Ilia gets more in the way of showing her internal conflict with how the White Fang is moving and her dividing loyalties between her beliefs and where the movement is going before she meets up with Blake.

So... why are these things ignored if you have such a problem with Fixing not focusing on female characters? In order for your criticism to be valid, the criticism actually has to reflect reality. You don't get to ignore things that are inconvenient to your narrative.

The meat of the story they love to criticize ceases to be a problem as long as male characters lead the group.

Huh. I don't remember the scene in Fixing where Roman declared himself leader and suddenly everyone - RWBY, JNR+Q are now following his lead. I seem to recall that had it been up to Roman, he'd ditch everyone and search for a way to pick Ozpin out of his body, fuck everything else. If you're talking about the one scene where Ruby goes off with Roman to actively search for leads, that was him leading a single investigation of many with only a single person beside him. Hardly what I'd call 'leading the group'. Like I mentioned before, Ruby went along with him as his handler, because no one trusted him yet. They still don't.

Like the concept of Raymond saying "60% of RWBY is fine, but we gotta touch up the rest of it" is completely lost on Lilith here. In her mind it can only be that either all of it is perfect, or none of it is.

(percentage is a random example)

Ah, and here I thought the 'husband' line was purely an Eren talking point. Do you not understand the concept that people can have children outside of wedlock? When did they say that Shiloh was Raven's husband, in or out of Fixing? They said he was Lily's father, not Raven's husband. Those are two separate concepts. In fact, Raymond explicitly says that they are not married. Raven just has her pick of the men around camp to get frisky with because she can do that as chief. Also, he was not 'random' in canon, either. He belongs to Raven's tribe.

I've explained why this is bullshit. Lilith is a broken record. Pointing out you're a fucking moron isn't 'flipping our crap' it's pointing out you're full of shit and why. RWBY has flaws. All shows have flaws and you are legitimately delusional if you think there can exist anything in media that is perfect. And the very fact that you have to lie about Fixing proves that you have no ground to stand on. Because if you did, then you'd be able to engage with it honestly, like other people have. You want Raymond's Fixing to only be about men so you can hate on it because you hate anything that men are involved in. That's why you ignore any time women do anything in it other than when it suits your lies.

If you cared about women's representation, you'd focus on where he falls short on their focus, not spend all your time screaming about a joke character getting 3 minutes more screen time and a main villain for the volume being the goddamn main villain of the volume.

And because MatrixDragon loves commenting on Lilith's garbage

I'm sorry, what? 20-25 episodes per season is a "real world limitation" of what can be animated and put on screen? Girl, you don't know anything about what you're talking about and it's probably best if you kept your mouth shut because this is highly stupid.

That shit is standard and even on the low end of the spectrum when it comes to season-long episodes. RWBY takes an entire year to get through its volumes with less than half the episode count most other cartoons with year-long productions have. These episodes aren't overly long, either. They're shorter than standard episode length.

"Real world limitations" don't make me laugh. Episodes that don't have a lot of action and fight scenes are standard fare and easier to animate and allow the budget to go where it needs to, like the fight scenes.

We all know that Rooster Teeth has issues paying its animators, so if that's the 'real world limitations' you're talking about, that's not a limitation on the story or the animators needing time or whatever, that's the company being garbage. Other companies can pay their animators and direct them in a way that doesn't lead to crunch and doesn't have to lay off artists because they're not bad at management. They also don't make artists work on multiple different things at once. A show that doesn't have that many episodes being produced through the entire year has no excuses.

Rushing through shit because you need to have action in most of your episodes is stupid. Not properly setting anything up because you're afraid if you don't start the season off with a fight scene to entice your audience is pandering and condescending. But who knows, maybe you don't mind being treated like you're dumb as long as you get the dumb action schlock. It ultimately doesn't matter. But Raymond's Fixing is not worse because he took the time to set things up that isn't just random fighting and if you cannot comprehend that, then maybe you don't know anything about storytelling either. You certainly don't know anything about animation and don't pretend you do.

I'll leak my DMs with Seeker/Eren tomorrow afternoon, GMT +8. Hopefully you can see my side of the story when it comes to a prick like him.

seeing the canonseeker mental breakdown joker arc go down in real time is truly bizzare, especially in how blatantly they lie to portray themselves as the victim while harassing & abusing former friends.

unhinged behaviour. they need mental help, truly.
