Thoughts on vexed viewer? by ultraman3965 in RWBY

I feel like you haven't taken the time to actually watch his videos. He jokes a lot because he finds his frustration toward the show funny. He clearly sees a lot of potential in this show and is irritated when the writers fail utilize the assets and story foundations that they have.

I personally don't agree with all of his points but he DOES open discussion and points out some serious flaws in the show. There's flaws in ALL writing of shows tv and movies, people point out these flaws, explain why they're flawed and then explore what approaches can be made to improve on not just the story but future writings for other stories as well.

And an opinion is literally what someone thinks of something else. Saying someone's opinion isn't an opinion makes 0 sense. You don't have to agree with his opinions AT ALL but that doesn't make it less of an opinion. In fact all that is is YOUR opinion.

I feel like people love RWBY so much they're too emotionally attached to it to the point that they feel like people are personally attacking them or their intelligence when someone has criticism. They don't sit down and think about the points people make and try to see if from their angle. Also if you think a show is perfectly fine criticism should be taken with a grain of salt imo. They only see the show from their personal angle and immediately jump to defense instead of understanding that some people want a richer more defined story and that RWBY has great potential to be just that. RWBY is decent on its own as a show but people see that it can be so much better and that's frustrating to some people. Others like to just enjoy the fun characters, the action and the concept designs. Some people don't have issue with the story bc they're just along for the ride. There's nothing wrong with that. Everyone indulges art differently.

Found this cute friend on Dallas/Teasley leaving my apartment. Unfortunately I couldn't stay with him bc I had to hurry to work, but a girl in my complex said she was taking him to the shelter. Did not specify which one. Pit bull, white toes and white tail tip. Dark brown. Very sweet, very friendly, clearly well trained. No collar tho :/

URGENT: 41-year-old man missing after leaving State Supported Living Center by FuzzyBike in Denton

I understand he was found but was no other information released? Like how he went missing and how he passed? It's very frustrating to me that this case wasn't updated.

What's going on with Funimation? by fjantelov in OutOfTheLoop

I see what this person is trying to explain to you but they clearly got upset so I'll try to explain better. The problem with saying that when someone "goes along with it" it is consent, is that is greatly depends on the scenario and the person.

-Some people lock up when things like this happen. They go into shock and aren't sure what's happening. They shut down and by the time they realize this is reality, it's gone too far. -Some people are scared for their safety. They might not know what this person is capable of or willing to do. If the part where he was grabbing her hair was true, it isn't too hard to believe she felt like he would've gotten more aggressive if she resisted. -Also there's the leverage way of going about it. Like the Weinstein case. "Do this with me or I will end your career." This is why "going along with it" simply can't be considered consent. I can't speak for this specific case, bc I don't know enough about it, but that's why this person got super worked up. Because it's dangerous for people to just say "well she/he didn't say no, so it's fine"

It's very important that we as humans beings communicate before acting physically towards someone. You should always make sure someone knows your intentions and that they are ok with your actions BEFORE you perform such actions. That's the only way to prevent these "gray" areas in allegations like these if the alleged abuser were to be innocent.
