mjnousak-deactivated20180822 asked: Not technically a question, but since you feel the whole Jaune thing is worth posting about, I feel it's prevelant to counter your comments. Jaune is considered a stand-in for average guys, while Ruby is the stand-in for a average female. The entire point of Jaune's arc is that trying to be a "manly-man" is a BAD thing and you'll only get respect and good things if you be honest and true to yourself. Which, presuming any teen or younger boys are watching RWBY, is a pretty good lesson to teach.

blake:

jaune’s arc has never proven that anything he’s done is bad, he’s been rewarded for literally everything he’s done thus far

he learned nothing from the bullshit with cardin, in fact he had his masculinity and overall mindset validated because pyrrha didn’t tell him she helped him kill the ursa and so he thought he did it all himself without any help from anyone

he learned even less from the bullshit with weiss and in fact got rewarded for stalking and harassing her by being called “cool” by Stereotypical Cool Guy neptune and told he was really a good friend to weiss (despite that she obviously hates him and wishes he would leave her the fuck alone)

tl;dr:

jaune/cardin arc quality: ass

jaune/weiss development quality: ass

jaune’s characterization: ass

final score: ass/ass would not care about more than five minutes
