Like I would be sympathetic if it was somebodies unity project that they invested alot of work in and had like 5 views on their youtube but it’s on amazon prime with real anime.
Honestly, I don’t even like RWBY that much, I can be glad for its success and respect its fans, but it’s just not for me and I agree with many of the critiques (it had its moments, though, and I like the style!). Either way, though… I would not react to a bad amusement park ride by saying “damn, I could really go for being bedridden with quadriplegia right now”, so why exactly should one “envy the deafblind” just because A Show I Don’t Like is on My Streaming Platforms, right next to whatever a “real” anime is?
There was ableism in what I said. I will admit that. It’s an abuse of language that still brings relief and still that guilty smile when I see someone else do it.
The existance of RWBY and it’s fanzone sets off a misdirected, pointless anger that amongst other silly things is a pleassant distraction from getting emotional all the time at the real stuff. It feels important to explore because it’s where in ours heads that we waste so much time.
Then envy.
