>>213044157The writing team was full of gays and trannies.
They knew what they were doing.
They wanted the main character to "develop", as Ruby had been essentially the same person for ten years. They needed her to grow to make her interesting again.
They figured that having a FTM tranny voicing Ruby was enough to keep the gay and tranny fanbase hooked long enough to experience Ruby getting over her dislike of interracial lesbians and becoming a gay and tranny ally.
Thinking that gays and trannies have the intelligence or patience to watch a "redemption and growth" arc of a character was fucking stupid.
I mean, Ruby killed herself like an episode or two later because she was shown a bunch of hallucinations by a psychotic mute midget ninja, so I think the "redemption and growth" arc was going to happen fast and explained away by Ruby meeting the god of that world (who, by the way, was female, and insanely more powerful than the two all powerful male gods of Ruby's world and had kicked them out for being male) but the show had already lost the gay and tranny fanbase by making the titular character homophobic and transphobic in their eyes.
Ruby as a character was marked forever irredeemable at that point.
The show had gay characters. One was a chameleon girl, who despite not being in a lot of the show, I rather liked. She had growth, and change, and it was mostly believable.
And, there was a tranny character that chopped his dick off to spite his parents. I have no idea how THAT made it into the show.
"Hey kids, mad at your parents? Slice your genitalia off!"
I can't see how normal people or trannies would approve of that message.
And, it turned out that Atlas was not anti Faunus. Jacques Schnee was, and even the Tolerant White Man In Power in previous seasons, James Ironwood, had to be destroyed by turning him into a child murdering idiot that just couldn't let shit go.
That was pretty obvious bullshit.
I think they were even trying to make the womanizing Qrow gay.
