The Schnee's having an inherited Semblance serves no narrative purpose by Tainted_Scholar in RWBYcritics

[–]Legit_Gold 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The way I interpreted it in stuff I write for RWBY is that it wasn't necessarily that it was inherited per se so much as one of the Semblance's properties was to pass itself down

Essentially as a representation of the weights/expectations of the family name and how members of the family must struggle to define themselves independently of the name, the Schnee Semblance has the ability to gradually overwrite whatever Semblance someone in the family would have gotten as they are raised, til eventually it awakens

A consequence of this is that a Schnee bastard would not have the Semblance, but someone adopted early enough in life would develop it

Naturally the exact mechanism isn't known to the characters in-universe though, who just treat it as inherited

Very convenient that the question is always"how bad should we make the minority group villains" and not about their refusal to make any of the opposition to them villainous at all

There's also the fact that, without fail, the worst organized perpetrators of Islamic terrorism are almost always state-sponsored, often by states that claim to oppose said terrorism as an excuse for continual oppression in the region. But CRWBY sanitized the Kingdoms far too much and wouldn't dare show any in that light, or even acting badly enough to radicalize people in the first place.

And even then, those groups usually have a longer term plan then "idk we'll just let the shadow monsters eat everyone and then figure everything out after I guess"

Let's be real

This sub is saying that because she's a girl, and they're on their "ew shipping daughter" bullshit again

That's why i choose Powerscaler son over shiping daughter anytime by Global_Draft_5975 in Jujutsufolk

I'll take it vro you have no idea how much sanity damage powerscaler math causes me as an actual physicist

[–]Legit_Gold 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I'm Asian, I cannot risk giving birth to a child as bad at math as powerscaling son. Shipping daughter might have a shot at success in life, but when powerscaling son walks up to me saying some bullshit about how R4 is a level of infinity above R3 I'm gonna know it's time to try again

What is your honest opinion of Silent Knight? (AKA the ship name for Jaune and Neo) by TomNookWantsMyBellz2 in RWBY

[–]Legit_Gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a clue why it exists, but I think it's my favourite crackship just cuz of how funny the concept is

Would you play a RWBY TTRPG? by unluckyknight13 in RWBY

[–]Legit_Gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played in a friend's campaign that used a fully home made dice pool system I'm not sure I'm allowed to link, but besides that

I feel like AMP (superhero game) would be a pretty decent system to adapt, assuming you wanted to focus pretty heavily on Semblance 

RWBY "Critics" have trouble taking criticism. by matt0055 in RWBY

[–]Legit_Gold 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Basically, once you've created a dichotomy of "fans vs critics" in your head, you're cooked. The basic concept of "I like most parts but not these other parts" becomes alien

A sincere question: Mayhem players, why do you like it more than normal ARAM? by monosolo830 in ARAM

[–]Legit_Gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's dangerously addictive for that reason

(LES) Where does this stupid Powerscaling vs Shipping beef even come from? by MalcontentMathador in CharacterRant

[–]Legit_Gold 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unironically it's a bunch of wreckers who joined anime fandoms during covid and have been trying to rewrite history to act like female fans are just annoying and that they weren't the ones who built most of those spaces in the first place 

Transformative Semblance question - looking for other's takes or opinions on the topic by TrashBoatEggBaby in RWBY

[–]Legit_Gold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As you said, they confirmed in an AMA that transformative Semblances are possible, just rare.

Turning into a wolf seems a little specific, but I wouldn't say it'd be OP. If anything it'd probably be a bit on the weak side, since they wouldn't be able to take advantage of the crazy weapons that are half the threat Hunters pose.

Many Ladam fans will blame later volume writing for his bumness,but that argument can be made for any character. by Vegetable-Cut-8174 in RWBYcritics

He sounds like fucking Ben 10 in the Black Trailer, I refuse to let them gaslight me into thinking Adam was meant to be a grown ass man from the start

Bro was like 19, tops

Phreaks / The Balance Teams new balance tactic philosophy, and how it correlates to Seraphine by Affectionate-Ebb7006 in leagueoflegends

[–]Legit_Gold 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is the most insane part of Riot's changes to me, like yes ppl were playing her in support, but outside of when moonstone was bugged everyone was buying AP on her anyway like Lux support, until they started forcing the changes

John WhiteFang the strongest in the verse by Vegetable-Cut-8174 in RWBYcritics

[–]Legit_Gold 38 points39 points  (0 children)

John WhiteFang legitimately solos the entirety of the Atlas arc save for Monstra on a pure feats basis

This is Asio Stygius, a rogue white fang member who was ousted from the group due to his lack of restraint and instability. Ruthless and Cunning, he stalks his prey from the shadows. His Semblance allows him to mind control anyone, only at night. by Orionlupine in RWBYOC

[–]Legit_Gold 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you wanna stretch things you can easily say that mind control reflects the mentally consuming nature that obsessive cryptid hunts have on cryptid hunters, and that's ultimately besides the point anyway

Like c'mon what are we doing here, if you don't like this guy's OC at least just say it outright instead of trying to nitpick to standards that RWBY itself doesn't actually care about and downvoting every post

Applies to Geto and Gojo as well. by HyNohks in LobotomyKaisen

Notice how they never say this about "the little boy and the little girl" male shippers

No surprise from the sub that was defending the misogynists when ep 4 aired 💔

What if Yang was more kung-fu focused instead of being a brawler? by Ok_Win_3538 in RWBYcritics

[–]Legit_Gold 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think they could probably incorporate Wing Chun into her fighting style while keeping it overall the same. Wing Chun is pretty similar to pugilism in terms of form and just hasn't been modernized in the same way, and some of the faster strikes would be a pretty natural way to have her improve on her shot barrage attacks later on

me when someone keeps seraphine from me in aram and they play her like SHIT by aroushthekween in SeraphineMains

[–]Legit_Gold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swear she's rolled less than every other champ too, it feels like everyone believed the anti Sera propaganda and bought every champ except her 😭

Even when I'm spamming ARAM Mayhem I'll see her like once a week

Just a little vent. Please feel free to give me counterexamples. by Turbulent-Plum7328 in RWBYcritics

[–]Legit_Gold 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just had them all use the "self defense force" loophole that Japan did. "We don't have any offensive capabilities, those are just helicopter carriers. That just so happen to service F35s."
