RWBY is even more cancerous than I thought.I don't know if anyone's ever brought it up on here before, but the RWBY pages are pure gold. See, for those of you that don't know, RWBY fans are generally split into two categories: Those who watch the show because it's a stellar example of what not to do and/or because they want to see if the show can mature; and those who take the show 100% seriously, be it because of :autism: or general stupidity. TVTropes's page for RWBY seems to be entirely the latter. I would like to show you all some highlights.
RWBY vocal themes, as a rule, are shit. The only exceptions are probably "Mirror, Mirror", "Red Like Roses", and "This Will Be The Day", which are the first three songs in the first soundtrack. Since then, the songs have been laughably awful. When It Falls, from the third season, is such garbage I don't even know if I can properly describe it. Aside from the fact that a 17-year-old, classically trained singer is attempting to sing metal, the lyrics and instrumentation are so edgy that you could have shoved them in the Shadow The Hedgehog OST and it would have fit. Here's a challenge: Try not to cringe.Remember when I said that "Mirror, Mirror" was one of the good songs on the soundtrack? Honestly, it's probably the best. The lyrics are minimal (and mediocre), so the story, instead, is told through the animation that goes with it: The White Trailer. The message is obvious: Weiss is your typical lonely rich girl, jaded because of the pressure to be perfect. Of course, why should I explain it when TVTropes found the most fitting person to describe the emotional impact?
Of course, you don't need interesting character traits or stories to make these fans feel sad.
Aww, she got turned down. So tragic! So depressing! So... insignificant in its affect on anything in the show. This scene lasts two seconds at best. It's supposed to be funny. Guess not.undefined
The animation is probably one of the worst aspects, I feel. Rag on the story and characters all you like (I know I do), but the animation quality is sub-90s TV series quality
If we're being completely honest, I personally think the show's improved since then. Season 3 could be rated as "okay," which is a step up from "painful." Anyway, without RWBY and Roosterteeth in general, where else would be find beautiful examples of what not to do?
my nigga I've been waiting over a year and a half for cell shading, let me have this.
He sold the site several years ago. The code is less terrible, and the pedo problem has been replaced with a SJW problem, which I guess counts as an improvement.
If you consider plain ol' pedos to be worse than SJWs with pedo undertones, then yes, it is an improvement.
Tropers are known to be bronies, weebs, fetishists and all sorts of other creepy/autistic things, so I'd answer with "yes".
Does it matter? They're worshipping a cereal mascot. That's stupid enough on its own merits.
