I hate wha Covid did to fandom etiquette. I commented on a vid saying what ship I dislike in a show & I’ve gotten SO MANY replies jumping down my throat asking WHY I don’t like it. Back in my day we were allowed to hate ships for no reason 🚬

Part of the reason I left the RWBY fandom was exactly this.

Me when I tell people I never was all that fond of Kataang or Zutara in Avatar: The Last Airbender…

As someone who’s been engrossed in fandom culture for over 15 years I fear it has always been like this. It’s gotten worse though don’t get me wrong 😭😭😭

Hahaha that’s 𝙚𝙭𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙡𝙮 why I left the RWBY fandom, I mean specifically that. Kept getting accused of being homophobic because I didn’t like one of the biggest ships in the show, since I felt they worked way better as super close friends and there vas very little in the show itself at that point to suggest any romantic feelings between the two. Especially after Volumes 4/5 showed a much more interesting potential relationship dynamic for one of them.

I’m going to guess you’re talking about BlackSun. For what it’s worth you were absolutely right. The banter between the two was so fun in 4/5, not to mention Sun was such a huge part of her story at the end of Volume 1. And they did the prom together, and they flirted at the festival in volume 3. Not to mention Sun was willing to follow Blake in Volume 4 because he knew her well enough to know she’d need a friend even when she said she didn’t.

Hmmmm… may I ask why? Not trying to be rude, genuinely interested. (I personally didn’t feel Aang was right for Katara)

Also would throw in him getting shot for her in Volume 5, but yang did sacrifice an arm so I’d call that a draw. Although based on the dialogue after and the fact that he did leave her alive, I’m not convinced it was Adam’s plan to kill Blake at beacon anyway.

I didn’t like how he continuously pressured her and then forcibly kissed her. It was very uncomfortable and we never got to explore Katara’s side of it all very deeply. I love that they had Bumi, Kya, and Tenzin in LoK, but it just felt so pressured and a lot more one-sided in AtLA.

Zutara never clicked for me because they felt a lot better as friends and I think that part was done well with what we had shown.

Yeah, it’s did feel like the writers felt some need to do it to have the story kinda come full circle

He also played a massive role in getting her to embrace her Faunus identity, in the end of Volume 1 sure, but I mean the underlying plot for her episodes in volume 4 and 5. And in return she helped him learn more about his own Faunus heritage which was really sweet. It says a lot that when her secret came out in Volume 1, she trusted him above anyone else to support her when she needed it. Was he a goofball? Yeah absolutely. But he was serious when he needed to be.

I’ve also definitely got something of a bias for BlackSun since that was a couples costume I did with my boyfriend one year for a Halloween party. I’ll never forget the sheer amount of gel it took to keep his hair like that 😂 (he’s got long hair normally) So a great little bit of nostalgia there for me as well.
