IT'S FRICKING OVER: ROOSTER TEETH IS SHUTTING DOWN AFTER 21 YEARS

Same but when they changed the podcast name from drunk tank

RIP Mica 1, Mica 2 and Mica 3. I could watch content with Fiona in (although I'd never seek out something just because she was in it), but after her they just went more stereotypical with each hire to the point where the hiring process itself became pretty racist.

I know all of ten people here care about the RWBY story but they gave the girls so many L's lately I'm not sure how they were ever going to defeat Salem and Cinder

I'll give the show credit for destroying their high school and forcing them to go get real jobs way back in Volume 3. Problem is the six volumes since then should've been enough to move the story further than it is now.

Is the bottom Ace Combat?

Carp has been away negotiating the rights and I can now proudly announce that https://www.rdrama.net/chat is the new home of RWBY.

he still made me laugh because he started talking about the election and then the sheep or whatever bites him and he goes "JEEZ FINE I GET IT NO POLITICS". the first time i've laughed at something from them in 5 years, and he wasn't even affiliated with them anymore

This is the first comment on the first thread I clicked on in rwbycritics:

It's strange, while my countrymen cheer the beast's fall, I feel a strange melancholy, after all these years, what once was filled with majesty and pride, goes out not with a blaze of glory, but a whimper in the dark.

So that's how they're taking it

Acceptance

Melancholy

Pretty mild reactions so far. This wasn't a surprise.

originally it was the people who made Red Vs Blue, a Halo machinima back when video game youtube videos were still considered funny. nothing of importance happened after that unless you're a gay nerd

It introduced weeb shit to an entirely new audience.

I don't get it either, I had two girls in undergrad try to get me into it. The plot was weird and it was filmed at like 10 fps

I never got why people seemed to like that RWBBC thing

!anime @MatsurisAhoge @KoreanStragKing @CrackerStraggot please rate and critique my hot take:

As someone who never cared about RWBY other than its 2D fanart, I think that the reason for their success was simply because they hit the jackpot by being released in the right place on the right time in the fateful year of 2013, as 2013 was when:

1. Weebshit culture was starting to get fully mainstream, it was no longer a thing that only 4chan neckbeards, neurodivergent school rejects, or Latinx folx were into

2. Anime memes were leaking onto the normie internet, as overall corporate "meme/geek culture" was also starting to get mainstream on social media

3. The Legend of Korra cute twinkry was fricking everywhere, and League of Legends was also another anime-esque medium that was reaching an enormous popularity among normie Westoids in that same year

4. Once-niche anime and hentai artists who were at first secluded to obscure DeviantArt and NewGrounds circles were also starting to receive mainstream attention on Twitter, Tumblr, and other social media sites that became massive in the early 2010s

RWBY had a weeb artstyle with a Western-centric writing and story structure, which was attractive and easily-digestible to the "hey, have you heard of these things called animé?, its Japanese cartoons with big eyes like Dragon Ball! LOL! " audience, plus it was a strictly online series released for free on YouTube, which contributed to its popularity, regardless of its quality being good or not, I think that its artstyle attracted normies to click on the videos, like how gen alpha children are attracted to Elsagate clickbait shit.

I doubt that RWBY would have gotten any popularity if it was released on TV, or if it was released in 2017 instead.

I've literally never seen anything that looks and sounds worse than Rwby. Absolutely incomprehensible to me that it has an audience

Proto-Coomers and Proto-Weebs who didn't know how to watch Anime in 2013
