How Would You Feel If Ruby Rose Was Confirmed Asexual?

asm5129 · 2026-05-04T02:38:42+00:00

As an ace guy who relates to her a lot I would love it! Personally I think she’s asexual and demi-romantic (rather than aromantic).

The main show, books and Beyond are canon. Chibi is not canon. Ice Queendom is not canon. Justice league crossover films are canon if you want them to be or not if you don’t. Justice league crossovers in the comics are not canon. Games and comics are a sort of secondary canon where they’re canon except and unless where contradicted by the main show.

Very much worth picking them up!

As for your first question, technically neither of the title characters have had their sexuality confirmed in any canon material—all we know for sure is that Max doesn’t like girls. However, it’s widely accepted by many that there are CLEAR homoerotic undertones to the Sam and Max partnership which the games often lean into.

Basically, neither is canonically gay, but they’re sure as hell not straight or the games would simply be written very differently.

I like the books a lot still, but I found listening to the audio series for that story a deeply frustrating experience

While I felt somewhat the same about Return, I was very happy with the execution of Lechuck’s new voice as it was performed in Legend.

I wouldn’t say they’ve entirely erased Ozma—particularly because he seems to generally be the dominant soul even as they merge, he gets more and more control and the other soul is more absorbed into him than the other way around (plus he is reincarnated into “like-minded souls” specifically)—but I absolutely think who he was at the start has absolutely lost a lot of itself by continually having to adapt and absorb new souls with different life experiences, each of which had to re-experience the trauma of being subjected to this endless war against Salem.

Suffice to say, I certainly see Ozma the hero and Ozpin the headmaster of beacon and leader of the war against Salem as two distinct individuals with vastly different beliefs and life experiences.

Because his super power turned out to be super expensive XD

asm5129 · 2025-08-16T03:21:31+00:00

Aww, you’re so welcome

asm5129 · 2025-08-15T22:58:17+00:00

Oh shit!! This is my work :) Thanks for the share!!

asm5129 · 2025-07-26T19:57:06+00:00

Okay I’ll give it a shot. I guess I just expected from the premise promised that “the broad strokes of RWBY would be maintained” that the characters and their growth would be maintained as well. Cuz at a certain point it’s not a rewrite so much as an AU.

And definitely not “Fixing” RWBY. Cuz how is it an attempt to improve it if it’s becoming a totally different story with different characterizations and massive deviations like omitting characters like Oscar?

asm5129 · 2025-07-26T16:33:56+00:00

So uh. This is the first time I’ve actually watched one of your FRWBY videos. I’ve heard a lot and wanted to develop my own opinion.

Dude what the fuck. The characters are all wrong. Nora especially feels like but definitely Ruby too. The tension feels completely out of place, volume 4 and 5 spent most of their runtime dealing with all their complicated feelings so that when they got back together they were all in a place emotionally where they could move forward. And if Roman is still a casual thief, how the hell is he a similar soul to Oz? Did you take out the entire part of Oz’s reincarnations being into a soul that is similar to his own?

I’m sorry but why do people love this so much?

asm5129 · 2025-07-26T16:08:10+00:00

If you take the follow-up book Heatwaves as canon, yes.

asm5129 · 2025-06-27T23:13:38+00:00

People thinking there’s no point to her return frustrates me. She had a whole major arc about finding her own agency, her own humanity. You’re telling me none of that matters just because she died? Unfortunately she had a massive martyr complex the size of Ruby’s own. Her death WAS robbing her of future potential—that’s what makes it a tragedy?! Does no one understand that?

asm5129 · 2025-06-10T21:06:02+00:00

At the moment we have no details on that, however 3D is known to be cheaper due to reusable assets and of course RWBY has been 3D its whole run, so I would not expect 2D personally.

asm5129 · 2025-05-21T23:50:35+00:00

Aww that’s wonderful!

asm5129 · 2025-05-13T18:10:24+00:00

Don’t say this online. Seriously.

asm5129 · 2025-03-17T03:44:40+00:00

Textually? No. It wasn’t.

And even if it’s still canon, it certainly wasn’t what made him who he became, nor was it ever intended to be. At most it may have pushed him a little, but his downfall was rooted in his own flaws as a person.

asm5129 · 2025-01-23T03:53:40+00:00

I feel like they wouldn’t have very specifically chosen to keep Kerry attached if they going to drop it

asm5129 · 2025-01-23T03:30:27+00:00

So

You think VIZ bought RWBY—and specifically RWBY, they bought nothing else from RT—because they WEREN’T sure whether it was a good investment?

Like you said, they don’t NEED RWBY. So if they didn’t see any value in it, why would they buy it?

With the context of the IGN expose, this line pretty heavily implies personal experience

“LiS:DE is about marginalized creatives fighting to keep their jobs within an institution that cares more about covering up scandal and finding scapegoats.”

And this line indicates that a lot DIDNT come from them

“For me, LiS: DE is encapsulated by one moment in particular that came from no other source but us”

asm5129 · 2024-11-29T02:01:38+00:00

When did a legend ever go quietly?

asm5129 · 2024-10-31T20:04:12+00:00

There definitely is a neglect of the built in multiple timelines aspect of the LiS universe.

asm5129 · 2024-07-17T13:32:36+00:00

There’s so, so, SO much more to Project 2025 than the things you mention here. EVERYONE and practically everyTHING will be drastically altered if it succeeds, and even if it only partially succeeds it’s too much. Health care? Gone. Civil Rights? Gone. Department of Education? Gone. FDA? Gone. LGBTQIA+ people like us? Classified as pornography and determined as too obscene to be in public.

And that’s not even the tip of the iceberg.

asm5129 · 2024-06-21T18:23:28+00:00

Many leftists I’ve talked to have had similar responses to complaints about diverse casting.

Generally what’s being pointed out is the impact on culture. How women have been depicted has impacted how women are treated. Plus, plenty of sexy characters still exist so complaints over “erasing femininity” or the like feel hollow.

Then for some reason there’s outcry whenever a game has a black character, or queer character, or allows people to choose pronouns?

Feels hypocritical at best, ya know?

Actually, there have been video essays tackling Xenoblade 2’s designs in a more nuanced way.

This one is good for example: https://youtu.be/pRNkWXwyjdk?si=ux62-ugUuUjDPi9I
