Mmm you know what, after now just recently having rewatched Legend of Korra and also having my hands on Turf Wars, Bumblebee wishes it was Korrasami so bad. RWBY's obsession with ATLA - and now LoK - has been apparent for a while now, but this is the last straw for me. Not only are they trying to do the whole "traumatised wlw uwu" thing, but the setting of that scene is eerily similar to Korrasami (though far less beautiful because that final shot is stunning), which makes it all the more uncomfortable to know why they want such a similarity. They want to capitalise on the popularity and love for Korrasami, without understanding why this relationship matters, and why it's praised. Because, back in 2014, a wlw endgame relationship was unheard of. LoK was screwed over time and time again because of the serious tone it took, and especially so with their desire to have Korrasami be the end goal. Turf Wars opens up with a loving and caring introduction about why Korrasami was important to queer rep and queer lives, and the first few pages are not only romantic and showing the two as a couple, but we see them kiss on the pages. The moment they are unshackled from censorship they delve into the queerness they desperately wanted. That's why Korrasami is "allowed" to be as vague as it is; because it wasn't allowed to be anything else.

RWBY, however... It had the possibility of making their wlw pairing canon years ago, but forwent that for the sake of baiting for views. They forewent the representation that would've given so many people joy just for the sake of making sure they continued to get viewers. Honestly, I genuinely think waiting for it to happen now has lessened it, and has made it a cop-out and a desperate grab for attention. What else could it be? Well, it couldn't be as a distraction so people will call RT progressive despite their horrific history with queer people, especially trans people, it couldn't be that. Nah, they just really wanted to make Bumblebee canon, don't worry about the fact they could've done it earlier and that Ice Queendom proved that the chemistry was there and possible since Volume One but couldn't delve into anything because the Mainline Series has to be the first one, nah don't worry about it.

Anyway stop praising this show and get a better taste. Idk, watch ATLA and LoK and read the comics, at least it's all out and not purposefully baiting you for views.
