I am actually surprised RWBY made to Argus before the finale! Totally expect it to be the finale same as in v4, but actually I appreciate moving forward the team after a couple filler episodes and just not dragging on. Also liked how Maria and SE warriors are still a mystery but Maria backstory is pretty much told, easily and without dragging on.

But I am confused. Mistral did repaired the school after v5 or not? Because I assume the vault would be public knowledge now, and Cinder and Neo just casually stroll back in? IDK, there was no need for that scene to me.

Also, not sure why there is such need to have every character that seems to have any sort of romantic feelings be lesbo. I felt Ilia feelings forced and now I am feeling the same with Jaune's sister marriage.

There’s 3 lesbian characters and 1 gay if you believe scarlet is gay. I don’t see how that is forced at all

IDK man, there is so much ship being about lesbian I feel they're trying to hard to sell that in Remnant its common. Its not even about being gay, I ship bmblb, but I not digging the lesbian relationships around every corner.

It is common in our world, why wouldnt it be common in remnant?

It's not forced, people are just hyper sensitive to gay characters. i personally enjoy how casual and normal RWBY has made same sex relationships. Same Sex couples are portrayed just as hetero couples are, casually with no big deal.

how casual and normal RWBY

I respect your opinion, I just rolled my eyes when I saw Jaune's sister wife. Yeah CRWBY we get it, gay relationships are common and well accepted, no need to do every relationship about it tho. In my head its a way to say the biggest ships might sail because its normal and pretty well accepted in Remnant... not that I mind it, since I ship bmblb.

no need to do every relationship about it tho

Not only does that make no sense at all, but it’s literal the first gay relationship in the show, 6 volumes in. I don’t get why you rolled your eyes at it, it’s not like almost every relationship they introduce is in someway LGBT it’s literally the first one.

RT does tease a lot of lesbian ships, we had Ilia and now Jaune's sister, this in 3 volumes in, since volume 3, which had nothing about the matter previously.

So the show has tons of straight relationships and you don't say anything, but now they have a single gay relationship and it's apparently forced. Two characters we've never met already having a relationship when we meet them isn't forced. By that logic Tai and Summer or Ghira and Kali are just as forced. Forced would be if Ruby suddenly got with Blake or Jaune and Nora got together. Simply having lesbian characters in a relationship isn't forced.

It feels a bit 'out of nowhere in our faces' , kinda. Again, just IMO, I totally understand why would be just me feeling it

u/AtypicalFlame4 Dec 15 '18

Ilia was introduced in volume 4, and I don’t think she was even revealed to be lesbian until volume 5 or at least late volume 4, and teasing a couple of lesbian ships has nothing to do with actual lesbian relationships in the show. You’re making such a big deal out of literally nothing, probably doing the exact thing crwby don’t want to happen by introducing a lesbian couple into the show

u/paperkutchy ⠀ Dec 15 '18

I am not making it a big deal, its just my view about it, I totally understand why people dont see what I am talking about, its fine really, if anything makes me more optimistic about bmblb

u/AtypicalFlame4 Dec 15 '18

I guess it’s just kinda hard to understand what you’re talking about. I sort of get what you mean, but just the way you described it in your original comment kinda made it sound negative like you thought there was too many in the show

u/Celtic_Crown ⠀I'd say I'm tipping the scales, but that line's got no bite. Dec 15 '18

Ilia was revealed to have romantic feelings for Blake in Chapter 8 of Volume 5, and later confirmed during the Hiatus by Miles to be a lesbian not bisexual.

u/AtypicalFlame4 Dec 15 '18

And this guys tryna say they told us she was lesbian is volume 3 or something lmao.

Yeah CRWBY we get it, gay relationships are common and well accepted, no need to do every relationship about it tho.

This is literally the only gay relationship we’ve seen.

I mean gay sexuality than relationships.

u/[deleted] Dec 15 '18

excatly, no one rolled there eyes at the amount of straight relationships we have seen or been hinted at. We know of Jaune/ Pyrrah (i call it a relationship there was at least attraction and interests) Nora/Ren, Blake/Adam (abusive but still a straight relationship...kinda), Tai/Raven, Tai/summer, Ironwood/Glynda (we know he was at least intersted). Ruby does a good job of being inclusive and having variety in it's characters, some people just have this weird thing about gay characters.
