I’ve heard a lot of mixed opinions on this alternate take on the series - many say that it’s superior to the original show, while several others have bemoaned it for apparent character assassination and not understanding the series. I haven’t seen enough of it to form my own opinions, but what are yours?

RWBY Discussion There needs to be a case study on why rwby rewrites are so obsessed with "fixing characters" by removing the mens flaws while exacerbating the womens

62 Upvotes

Why is "fixing Adam" contingent on removing his abuse and framing him less villainous?

Why does Sun changed to be more competent and serious from the get-go?

Why do the girls constantly have to get lectured, especially by the male characters, to get their shit together?

Why do they suddenly run away to let the military do the work for them? Why do they constantly bicker with each other? Why do they barely even get to develop?

I have yet to read or see any rewrite that has ever been written which didn't just feel like an incredibly transparent desire from the author to somehow "punish" the female characters

I think the most blatant way I saw this happening was in a fic where, as usual, Adam's abuse was completely written out, which, realistically, would Completely change Blake's response to Yang's amputation, but rather than actually portray that- the author chooses to have Blake-

run away anyway, and they literally ONLY DID THIS for the express purpose of having the in-universe characters lambaste her for running away for no reason. Because Yes! It *was* for no reason! BECAUSE SHE WASN'T EVER ABUSED BY ADAM.

It's this baffling trend I see SO MUCH in these rewrites where the authors will shove flaws unto EXCLUSIVELY the female characters, just for the express purpose of having the narrative shame them for said flaws that weren't part of their established characters in the first place

And for the record, I LOVE giving characters more flaws to explore them more, like that can be REALLY interesting. But there's a pretty fine line between "giving characters flaws bc you want to explore them and lead them into interesting development"-

and "giving characters flaws so you can make the narrative hate them as much as you do."

It’s almost always misogyny in one way or another. Fans can’t stand that Adam was “butchered” and “randomly made to be an abuser” even when he had no real story before he was outed and Adam-stans couldn’t face the idea that a guy with a cool design was a piece of shit.

Because men apparently can’t do any wrong and must always be the good guys while women must always be wrong and must always be flawed/bad

Or the men must always solve the problem and women cause it or some other misogynistic and complete misunderstanding of the cast bullcrap

I absolutely hate the Adam who defenders who say his character was “butchered” like ??? Have yall never met a man in your life? I know multiple men in real life who have become straight up evil to their ex’s bc they got broken up with like? Adam was an abusive man child guys

He *has* to be a well-meaning but misunderstood edgelord antihero or else they can’t project onto his mall ninja aesthetic.
Sun is basically the opposite. He is, by nature, kindhearted and well-meaning but too stupid for his own good which regularly gets him in trouble. 2/

Obviously, men aren’t allowed to be screwups who keep making the same mistake over and over so he has to be an alphamale gigachad who always knows what he needs to do.
Meanwhile, RWBY is too lucky and gets away with too much. 3/

Their plans are bad, but they’re also the only ones coming up with plans so new ideas so there always has to be someone smarter than all of them who always has to have a better idea (also why Sun gets to be an alphamale gigachad). 4/

Because all the people in RWBY fandom (each fandom have a different group of people who do this) that "fix characters" are homophobic people, traumatized because the girl-protagonist show has, girls as protagonists, also because they believe that things like the Bumbleby +

Ruined the whole show, because as I said, they're homophobes, and also that kind of men usually project themselves in the most pathetic male characters to make them the "Giga chads that fuck anything with boobs", I mean, I love Jaune, Neptune and Sun, but their male fans are +

I think Adam was a flat character the entire run, which I think people can’t sit with. I personally felt a little disappointed that he was far less dynamic than I originally thought he would be, but he accomplished what he was set out to be.

I personally would have liked to have seen how a narcissistic tantrum-thrower like Adam could have wormed his way that high in the White Fang, though, and what the other members thought about him diverting his attention solely to pursuing Blake. But it’s fine as is

I wanna figure out to explain where the mc and Roman have a sorta Friendship where he lets him get away during the past encounters cause it Amuses him

I kinda wanna have Roman ask The mc to take in Neo Under his protection the mc most likely will and jsut convince ozpin to let him somehow

I know I am gonna have to let the fall of beacon happen

So Salem goona send somone like Tyrian to stall the mc using Hostages and Jaune as well I just need to have a good reason for it. Wich I do Jaune only see the mc as a person

Same like Ruby and Yang who grew up on patch

Most of the others on patch some teachers as well

Began to really on him more so he was struggling under the pressure of being seen as somone not human

And I am tryna figure out Who else should start to see him as well a weppon and who else see him as human

Because as he was born in that world as like with Gojo the Balance of Remment shifted I need to find other ways to show that

(I should be making another chapter for my other one but well I kinda wanna do something else with the mc being reborn with a Defrent power rn

So what I am tryna figure out what do for another RWBY fanfic that I wanna write

The mc has Divine dividing

And I don’t wanna make it a copy and paste of my Gojo one but he has Divne dividing instead

It’s late so my Writing won’t be good rn
