IIRC this was made up for the anime and not canon because the producers wanted Scarlet to be self-insertable to young girls watching the flashback episodes but I could be mistaken since it's been like 10 years since I've read the manga for this arc. Doesn't excuse 16 year old Rebecca fighting in lingerie though.

Fiction doesn't need an excuse.

One Piece has both good and bad trans representation.
Most trans characters aren't like this, you have explicitly trans characters before and after this who aren't like that. FWIW the joke about the Kamabakka Queendom Newkama chasing Sanji was relatively brief in the manga but the anime expanded it a lot for filler purposes.

>le Media agrees with me
ok, but is it good?

I hate pedoshit and lolicon but this is a hell of a reach for a number of reasons.
1) Early marriages have happened throughout history and she's not even that young relative to age of consent in many countries outside the USA.
2) Actually she was 16 when she married him and had her daughter with him when she was 19

>That's why even medieval kingdoms had taxes.
We're talking about early-medieval feudalism, where any monetary systems had collapsed, and the economic and social stability afforded by feudalism actually mattered.
>Of course it was inevitable, but that doesn't mean societies didn't regress from a dialectical-materialism standpoint.
Despite initially lower surpluses (due to aforementioned external factors), feudalism objectively advanced the relations of production. It emerged precisely because it most effectively utilized societal resources at the time of its inception. In fact any lasting societal progress lags behind the development of the agricultural base; advancing without such a firm foundation would be blatant adventurism.
>It didn't so much as leap with farming techniques
Medieval ploughs and crop rotation especially were objectively leaps. The consensus is, despite the primacy of agriculture, some hunter-gatherer activity continued being necesssary until their advent.
>Medieval ones in Northern Europe only had less urban centralization because of much lower social development by comparison.
The centres were far larger in number, therefore they had more capacity in growth when the pace of the productive forces picked up again. They were smallpoxing in civ terms.
>the formatting is clearly something based in the Renaissance era and was the final touch of the 12-13th century construction
I don't get why you're so insistent of dating back the Renaissance far before any time i've seen it outlined before. Far from social fetters, the fidelity of high-medieval art in comparison of that from the early medieval period, can be directly traced back to the emergence of large-scale, high-volume trade and the wealth concentrated in the many urban centres as a result. Frescos were also largely a fad north of the Alps and i don't know of any mosaics outside of Orthodox churches either.

>Byzantium was a natural progression from an existing imperial infrastructure
We know canonically most parts of Remnant are already controlled or heavily greased by crime syndicates. Presumably they would extract profit from protection rackets, hijaking tradPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>We're talking about early-medieval feudalism, where any monetary systems had collapsed, and the economic and social stability afforded by feudalism actually mattered.
Taxes are not necessarily paid in money, in fact most peasants could never afford to pay it with money in the Medieval age outright. It was paid to the Church and State with agricultural and livestock produce. In essence it was a racket like with the Mafia… or modern capitalist states today; you live on our land so you pay for your 'protection' and for residing here or you get hurt. Why do you think Robin Hood was created and became a popular folk character? Honestly with how hard you argue for feudalism in this context, you sound like an ancap.
>any lasting societal progress lags behind the development of the agricultural base; advancing without such a firm foundation would be blatant adventurism.
Rome didn't advance without firm foundation, if it did then it wouldn't have lasted for the greater part of a millenia.
>crop rotation
FFS that's not an early medieval thing, that happened in Rome too since at least ~200BC The Medieval system simply solidified the 3 field system that late-Rome did. The 4 field system was part of the Agricultural Revolution, during the Enlightenment and after The Renaissance.
>plough
Ploughs have been around since mankind first began to work the earth in earnest. Medieval plows were developments of existing Roman plows. These are not significant by any leap of the imagination.
>some hunter-gatherer activity continued being necessary until their advent.
HAHAHA Hunter-gatherer activity continued throughout the early and middle Medieval Age, but slowly stopped being relevant later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJnIZiH5fyM
>why you're so insistent of dating back the Renaissance far before any time i've seen it outlined before.
I'm not dating it back further. The Renaissance is widely acknowledged to have begun officially in 1350 as defined by Italian historians during the 15th century, however the ProtoRenaissance began earliPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

What are people's favorite fanfics for RWBY? What particular ships or plots interest you in the RWBY setting? There's a fanfic thread on 8moe's /rwby/ board but it would be nice to get more opinions.

Some of my favorites is An Arc for Every Season and The Choices We Make.
I wish there were more RNJR fics however, they're so lame.
Some crossover fics are really good, but there's so much schlock they can be hard to find. A rather odd one that somehow works is Black Sun, Blood Moon which is a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. crossover
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14116685/1/Black-Sun-Blood-Moon

As an aside, the BO of the board is also taking fanfic requests if anyone has any. They have some pretty decent and varied fics like Tending Embers and Skin. Their Non-RWBY stuff is okay too, just wish the non-oneshots would update more often.

New Fun Fact discovered:
In the original backstory for Cinder Fall, she wanted milf poontang.

Yeah it's been the topic of discussion last month. Honestly it feels like something unfinished or even discarded because it's Itachi levels of retcon given V1C1 having Cinder basically try to kill Ruby. The rest feels like its directly ripping from Final Fantasy and the Life Current / Corrupted Life Current. The Medea base also just really doesn't track with the Cinder(ella) naming and story basis.
I find the Atlesian scientist-mom theory for Cinder far more interesting and unfulfilled.

It's funnier if I don't.

>>29759
In what way?

>>29760
Well, since I've never seen those episodes, when I get the itch to finish the series, they'll be quite funny, I assume.

>>29764
funky

Very underrated thread and manga, even if it uses Soviet aesthetics in partiality for LARP aesthetics.

The art design for this small series reminds me of Jmantime's style of illustration.
Edit: forgot the fuckin' image

Bump. Just read the manga and its amazing.

Absolutely based series

It's a boring genre for teenagers

Hufflepuff: Arts and Humanities, Engineering.
Gryffindor: Psychology and Education, Corrections.
Slytherin: Biology and Economics, Police.
Ravenclaw: Law and Federal Cabinet, Private Invitation.

UMass-Amherst Resource Economics: Federal Cabinet, Department of the Interior; Tom Riddle, Civil Rights.

UMass-Amherst Declared: Pre-Law History, Winchester Department of Corrections; Tom Riddle, Outside of MI-6; CIA Private Military Detective, Assigned 9/11 Hijackers.

"Bridgewater Triangle" fast food investment, "The 99" Arab comic book out of Germany, "Loose Change" print per Bush and Soros to Julian Assange and Swedish Intelligence, CIA nominated; Nobel Prize.

Of all the ways Fujimbo could've finished the story this timeloop/universe reset ending is not the worse case scenario. It still feels rushed and lazy tho.

That being said Power WON, so 10/10

Its a fakeout ending. Manga isnt over yet.

DENJI DIDN'T EVEN GET TO SMASH

>Sounds like some sicko shit I gotta be honest

Right? Sounds awesome.

I tried reading kingdom a couple of years ago and it pissed me off that I got suckered into reading a shounen power scaling manga when I expected a seinen.
I got to the part where Xin was sustaining life ending blows back to back and he just wills himself to go on for his friends. Yawn.

>>29963
it's based on chinese novels,that's what all of them are,power scaling to the moon

>>29965
also the monk/teacher trope with this and their backstory being tied to the main character
i don't know what this trope is called but it's so common and lazy

Vegeta was kept alive after Saiyan Saga due to editorial and fan pressure. This historical event gave birth a terrible precedent.

>>29969
Vegeta isnt really a morally ambiguous character, he is by any measure an evil person, just has a couple people he personally cares about.

>>29969
It's still more work to redeem an evil character through efforts rather than kill him off to do it instantly, the worst part of stories is having the payoff immediately after the setup with nothing in between

>>29969
it was fine then because dragon ball isn't that serious. it also directly influenced the entertaining moral insanity of hunterxhunter. it's really when shonen writers started being for better or for worse the dickenses of our age that shit started going downhill
