#the original Rwby writers are ignorant abt racism

[quibble-squibble]

just so enthused that we’re gonna have a whole repeat of white people losing their minds and cooing over their precious white queen “redeeming” herself from her malicious violent racism despite multiple poc speaking out on how poorly written it is and how it prioritizes white comfort over minorities.

it already took YEARS for white people in this fandom to accept the original issues with Weiss’ racism & the WF problem as a whole (many still don’t), and now IQ has just brought them out of the woodworks to deny her racism and claim it’s just the nightmare grimm and it’s all totally not her fault guys!! they essentially strip her of personal accountability so she can be the perfect victim that needs to be “saved” from her own bigotry.

yes the nightmare is is exacerbating her fears and portraying faunus accordingly but that is still because of her own personal ingrained beliefs. it is using what is there to do this to her. it is on weiss and no one else to deconstruct and reevaluate her own bigotry.

i’m sick of it. i am so sick of people prioritizing the racist’s feelings over the actual minorities being harmed. they don’t care about racism or poc and their struggles, they just want their white queen to be the ideal damsel even if it involves silencing poc when they criticize the racism within this writing.
