@SIMPSONIANTHIELITEDOOMER's comment on 'RWBY obsessed r/curatedtumblr user spends dozens of comments defending derailing a serious post about how society treats victims of trauma to complain about people being mean to their favorite anime characters'

https://old.reddit.com/r/CuratedTumblr/comments/17dzkt3/people_cannot_understand_when_trauma_victims_act?sort=controversial

people cannot understand when trauma victims act traumatized especially in a way that is unpalatable to them because it involves lashing out and unpredictable moods and having boundary issues rather than just being demure, sad, and consumable. Bonus if the trauma victim is a woman

Me when I see someone starting a thread by talking about a very serious real life issue, without any mentions of fiction or fandom culture, presumably looking to spark discussion, so I take a look to see what insightful additions people have made to it, I'm immediatelly faced with the picture of a blorbo, and the thread proceeds to decay into just being used as an excuse for fandom people to complain about opinions other fandom people have.

OP is RWBY Discourse Georg, just ignore them

I checked and they're right, /u/ClaireDacloush posts ~30 times a day, mostly about RWBY. I read a post they made on /r/gamingcirclejerk and all the comments were like "Ugh, anothert barely disgusied RWBY post, give it a break already". They also made a bunch of posts about how they're being stalked by so meone who hates RWBY

>post discussing a very real problem with society's perception and treatment of trauma victims

>some frickass anime character

A female character with trauma issues who people hate on for reacting in a natural way to trauma.

because she's no longer ****able in their eyes.

Edit: the hatred people heap onto shows with female LGBT protagonists like Korra and RWBY is amazing!
Maybe I need to make one with Korra!

While some people are misogynistic about it, its also just not a very good show. Two things can exist

My hero academia is not a good show, AND it is misogynistic.

RWBY treats women as protagonists and without misogyny or fanservice.

When I see people say "it is not a very good show"

they're always whining about white male villains, a straight white dude who they're trying to make the protagonist over 4 gay women....

or a straight ship that was dumped over a gay ship.

so why should I entertain mass stupidity?

The thread continues from there but it's too long to quote in its entirety

OH MY FRICKING GOD WHY IS THE RWBY PERSON STILL HERE?

Sir/Madam?
If you don't like me?
You can block.
Since you're NOT blocking me?
That basically means you enjoy having me around.
So stop complaining, and start being nice.

Nah I just don't think the review would be very fun to read if I did it. Like the first two seasons were among the worst things I've ever seen and ripe for endless ridicule, but after that it became enjoyable enough and I wasn't sure why I was still watching for awhile. Like it wasn't great or anything and I definitely had better things to do, but I didn't hate it? And yeah you can write bits scoffing at the ridiculous barebones plot and the endless forcing of clumsily-inserted social justice themes (muh evil cat people are just misunderstood, domestic abuse, wahhh), but that's not very compelling to read and it's not very funny either.

The fights are pretty cool. I'm mildly interested in seeing how the story resolves and I'll probably check back next season and keep going. There really isn't anything useful to say about it, though. It's artistically bankrupt, thematically empty and it reminds me of some little kid playing pretend with his action figures with exactly as much narrative cohesion. But yeah, flashy colors and stuff and lots of people hitting people with things. It's a bad show but not in a ridiculous way. It's just trash, but entertaining trash if you can turn your brain off.

Meh.
