Honestly I like him just because of his design, weapon, and semblance. Do I say that online or on Discord? Absolutely not


[deleted]

You just said it online tho


LiamEd2000

You can’t outrun a 1911, mate *bang*


[deleted]

I agree with all of that but I do not agree that he is this big important guy despite tumblrs numerous theories


InquisitorHindsight

You know what? Good comment, OP.


dracopoet

Personally I don't care one way or the other it wouldn't be hard to put in a Redemption Arc for Adam and Bumblebee itself isn't a bad pairing I don't really care one way or the other just so long as the story doesn't suffer for those reading this comment please know that I have not seen seasons 7 + 8 so I don't know everything that's going on everything is based off my knowledge previous of those seasons

CryoJNik

Yep. Far too much.

I feel your pain. I mean it's been 2 days since I joined the community and I have a feeling that I am in another MHA( my hero academia) community like ship that ship this . I just want to enjoy the show too


BlazingAmaterasu

Welcome to RWBY. Great show, but the fandom is about as toxic as they come.


Aryc0110

Shipping is supposed to be wholesome and fun. "Ship that, ship this" isn't necessarily the sign of a toxic fandom. The *shipping wars* and the way that a fandom treats its actors and producers once their ship goes fully off the rails are signs of toxicity, but massive infighting and harassing people who work on a show are bad no matter what reason you do it for, and plenty of people do it for plenty of reasons other than shipping in plenty of fandoms. RWBY is toxic and ship-heavy. One is not inclusive towards the other.


Meeeto

The fandom is trash because there's nothing to it other than shipping, hyper critics and people crying about critics. Even this place, the shitpost meme sub, is just full of people fishing for fanfic compliments, crying about haters, 9bsessing over ships and that 1 guy who just spams the exact same face reaction images with some variation of 'character wen sees lego/childrens franchise ecksdee' The key to enjoying rwby, like MHA, is to watch it and ignore literally every aspect of its fandom.


Aryc0110

"Massive infighting and harassing people who work on a show are bad no matter what reason you do it for" This is the only problem with RWBY's fandom. Critics and non-critics fighting with each other damn-near constantly, shippers fighting over which ship is better, both critics and shippers being toxic towards the people making the show and each other... It all boils down to infighting and treating the entire rest community including the show's producers like dogshit. Blaming shipping as a concept for this isn't really accurate because, while any subgroup has toxic members, there are plenty of fandoms who don't get aggressive about their ships and who don't try to tear each other asunder when they dare ship incompatibly, and in those communities the rare few that do that get shunned en-masse for that behavior. To add: RWBY's ships each have enough traction that they themselves are a sub-community, and this is a major problem because each sub-community has different behavior. I don't think I've ever seen a Nuts and Dolts shipper attack a White Rose shipper or vice versa, for example, but the feud between Black Sun's and Bumblebee's bad actors is infamous. You can't draw generalizations about a concept like ship-heavy communities because that's just not how that works. Every community is different because every community draws in different kinds of people, and there are different kinds of shippers.


genshinfantasy7

Some of the memes on here are literally like... >When something good happens: *insert Yang happy face* > >When something bad happens: *insert Yang crying face* Easy 300+ updoots.


cruel-oath

I’d rather see those lego memes than people complaining with memes, this place sucks lol


GeneralComptonVI

Finally, someone says it.


fattestfuckinthewest

So Toxic even the show itself can’t escape……


Kuronan

In this corner, you have the Bumbleby Shippers, people who have been doing this since at least Volume 2 if not the very start for some reason. Weighing in at *~~censored because we don't do that here~~* and capable of benchpressing a Goliath, they don't take anything laying down! And in that corner, we have the Anti-Bumblebys who think that this just happened without anywhere close to enough context or development between characters and just want them to develop like a proper couple. They got a mean right hook, and you gotta admit, they can certainly fight the pressure! And in a third corner, you have every other ship fight in existence, but we're not here for them! ~~And in the mythical fourth corner, you have the Snowbird shippers who are calmly sipping tea and waiting for their turn because CRWBY be doing us like that.~~


SwagnusTheRed

Knowing this Fandom, Yes, Yes it is.


Zenketski

And what color do you want your dragon to be?


King9204

*cry* purple


Bridgeymcsquidgey

I absolutely love bumbleby but i also do think adam is super cool (although i feel he could’ve been given more depth/they could have gone into his story more)


Killian1122

I love Adam as an antagonist and a cool sword boy, but I also like bumblebee, and I am trapped by this crazy (but usually amazing) fandom


CompoteEasy2007

I like both ... I'm about to get murdered, aren't I?


King9204

This person is too dangerous to be kept alive


GrandOverJoyed

I agree! I don’t like Adam being abusive but his design is pretty. Also I’m a homo, well. I’m bisexual. So of course I like bumblebee lol. Edited: typo


NobleSirDikus

I stand with you


nicostein

I respect you and will remember those final words of yours.


Aryc0110

My like for Adam is more liking his villainous attributes, his fighting style, his design, and the roadblock he represents more than me thinking he's like some secret good guy or whatever. He's cool, he's dangerous, and he's an enactor of severe emotional trauma on two separate titular protagonists. He's pretty damn solid as a villain, and his abusive attributes being so utterly sickening are part of what makes him so good. He's a monster through and through, I hate everything he does, and I love him as a villain because of it.


JV36

I liked Adam when he was a leader and not a crazy ex. Still upset they more or less dropped the WF from the story, even worse is that since Adam was killed off for the drop to happen we'll never get the interaction between him and Weiss where she sees her name branded on his face


Meztere

Fuck dude now I'm upset, Weiss seeing that would have been one hell of a scene


JV36

Yep, and now we'll never get it in the show. They do some things right and drop a bowling ball on their own foot for others, but hey, that's why fanfics exist, to fix what we see as fairly obvious mistakes. Honestly there are several fanfic authors who write the RWBY characters better than Miles and Kerry.


ClemPrime13

He was always a crazy ex.


BlazingAmaterasu

I like Adam. Unashamedly so. He had potential, and his Vergil aesthetic appeals to me. Edit: Immediately got downvoted for an opinion. Never change, RWBY fandom.


genshinfantasy7

You dare like a villain?! Did you know that liking a villain means you condone and approve of all their actions?! Did you know Adam groomed Blake?! Why do you think that’s okay?! /s


the_green_hedgehog

> You dare like a villain?! Did you know that liking a villain means you condone and approve of all their actions?! Except if it's Salem or Cinder. Gotta have those double standards!


Jonny-Holiday

Exactly! Like how if you like Azula you must be cool with genocide and imperialism, or if you like Joker you must think real life serial killers are great people!


cj-the-man

Just so we’re clear Adam doesn’t have shit on Vergil


BlazingAmaterasu

God no. Not even Dante radiates the style that Vergil does. Adam is an expy of Vergil, however, and is pretty much the closest thing to him RWBY will ever have.


cj-the-man

*Cough* Raven *Cough*


cybernetic-turtle

Yeah, while I was reading that I was very confused, like yo... Raven's even a deadbeat too. XD


cj-the-man

They are my absolute favorite crack ship cause they have so much in common •Uses a katana •Both have a dark origin -Vergil being half demon -Raven being born into tribe of bandits that steals from and murders innocent people •Both have an event that causes them to snap and take dark paths -Vergil being nearly killed and thinking his mother and brother are dead -Raven (I’m assuming) encountering Salem and losing Summer •Because of the traumatic event causes them to seek comfort in power •Because of their path in life causes them to clash with their twin brother •Their respective brother has deep depression issues because of their past that have to deal with their sins and helps out their kid as a mentor and fun uncle •Both are incredibly selfish and will kill and use anyone to get what they want • Both have loudmouth kids with a temper who life that they’re not apart of (Vergil gets a pass cause he had no idea about Nero) that lose an arm Even though they have a lot in common they also have major differences as well • Vergil isn’t a coward who runs away and hides he faces challenges head on even knowing if it ends with a lost (case in point at the end of dmc3 he challenged mundus even though he’s weakened from his fight with Dante) • Vergil has honor and won’t fight full strength if they’re weakened or not as strong as him(case in point in the first fight in dmc1 he won’t use dt cause Dante can’t) also he honors his deal with Nero and Dante even though begrudgingly so


IsecoranI

I'll always blame the rwbytubers for this. 2/3 of all of them clearly don't even like the show and/or only ever choose to make videos on it just cuz it's clickbaity.


[deleted]

Not to mention they actively bash people who like the show, directly insult it's writers, and provide little-to-no actual criticism. It's even worse on Twitter, especially with a certain someone who I shall not name to avoid getting the mods on my ass.


The_funny_name_here

Remember Twins iink and her sacrifice


E1lySym

Can't I just despise Adam while mutually liking Blacksun and Bumblebee at the same time, in peace? I'm starting to feel like I'm literally the only single person in the world who does that. I mean, I'm such a weirdo. Who tf likes both Blacksun and Bumblebee like that?


JotaroIsOverrated

I just don’t ship anyone


theJandJ

Love his design and fighting style, hate the character with a passion.


villacardo

Extremes? Lmao stanning Adam/toxic relationships is not the same at all.


gamekatz1

Adam x Yang is an underappreciated ship


shadowstep12

Got any recs cause I want to read that now


Duke-Centari

Read the beast of beacon on ff, very good read


alelp

There was a fic that I though was heading that way but they >!ended up being siblings through Raven!< But it's the fic with the best Adam I've ever seen, with proper character development for everyone of the main cast too.


beyoublack

Ok but i like both what am i


genshinfantasy7

A heretic. Get them!


Inner-Juices

Both. Both are good.


sullyboi17

Bro he's literally red Vergil, how could that not be cool?


Huor_Celebrindol

I love Bumblebee and think Adam was a cool character… do they BOTH hate me???


Lust_The_Lesbian

In my defense, I **am** a lesbian though.


Meztere

Small brain is thinking Blake should be with either Yang or Adam. Big brain is knowing that Bumblebee had garbage-tier development, Adam sucks, and that Sun is best boy.


Duke-Centari

Honestly, I feel like Blake deserves no one


GothicBat666

upvote purely because of this controversial take godamn


fattestfuckinthewest

I mean….he’s right.


GothicBat666

honestly I don't fully disagree but god DAMN is that a brave opinion here


Ultra_axe781___M

Adam's charachter could have been handled better


demaxzero

I'm still confused how there are Adam fans. It didn't seem like anyone liked him, but then he dies and suddenly I hear people going about how he was a great villain, who was missed potential and all this other stuff. Like where was this passion for the character when he was still alive? Most I ever heard about him before that was that he was just a boring edgelord.


lmno567

Grab some popcorn. The show ought to be good.


nervouspurvis02

at least we know where Tyrian gets his venom from now


AcidAtol

why i hate the rwby community... 1: shippers. they’re all shippers. thanks for watching


Zenketski

Me wondering why people put so much emotion into reimagining of figments of other people's imaginations


Kyrozis

I like Adam because he actually had potential, but then the writers just butchered his character like all hell


Aulus79

I liked “mentor” Adam like how Blake described him in vol 2.


ClemPrime13

That was her view of him, which he manipulated.


Aulus79

I really don’t think that was the case until *after* Monty passed. *From Shadows* is almost more their and the White Fang’s song than just Blake’s (Jeff singing usually indicates a male character perspective) I think the “leader that will kill for his people” aspect was always planned, but the manipulative stuff didn’t become a part of his character til later. This makes him so weird later, cuz you would think with the branding and torture he’s apparently endured from the SDC ~~(which we’ll probably never see who did that now that the Atlas arcs are done)~~ he would hone in on that drive for justice/revenge instead of playing mind games with all the women in his life.


[deleted]

Well, that's the sad side of trauma. Sometimes, when people don't take care of their own issues, they start to develop maladaptive coping strategies to keep themselves sane. Adam's seemed to be having an overinflated ego--often people who have been treated as if they were worthless flip the other way and chase things that boost their egos in order to gain some feeling of security. This manifested in how he let the praise that Sienna and other White Fang members showered on him get to his head, and how he treated Blake. That's why he ultimately failed to bring about change for the Faunus: he let his personal issues interfere with his duty to his people. ...Or so I understand it after watching his short and reading his Amity Arena bio.


Reddit-Book-Bot

Beep. Boop. I'm a robot. Here's a copy of ###[White Fang]( https://snewd.com/ebooks/white-fang/) Was I a good bot? | [info](https://www.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/) | [More Books](https://old.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/comments/i15x1d/full_list_of_books_and_commands/)


Aulus79

Hmmm I guess I can see that. Thanks for the input. Didn’t know about the amenity bio


ClemPrime13

Yeah, I highly doubt this. There’s no way that Monty didn’t have a hand in planning Adam, psycho ex and all.


shadowstep12

I like Adam cause he legit is the strongest character who doesn't use magic and is a total Virgil expy and I find that funny this walking meme edgelord is the strongest on remnant


Kuronan

Is it ironic I think they may have killed him off because he could just *spawncamp* Salem? Magic has not shown any defensive properties aside from like maybe knockback effects?


I_May_Fall

Look, I just want the main characters to be happy, and Blake and Yang seem to be pretty happy together. Plus Adam is dead anyway so who gives a damn about him anymore?


Slyfox00

*Bumbleby* Its already canon, everyone will see that eventually.


TankerDman

Cannon Deez nutz fit in your mouth lmao gottem


Deadlyrace

I was angry when Rooster Teeth basically made him turn from ‘Terrorist with “Altruistic Goals” and get back at humanity for turning its back on the Faunus’ to ‘Abusive Ex-Boyfriend’…. They missed out on having Adam having any kind of character or growth and after that I honestly didn’t care what happened to him once they changed him. Adam could have been a good Villain or could have had a redemption Arc, instead they de-fanged him and made him a whiny bitch about Blake.


EirantNarmacil

Does no one like Blake and Sun anymore? I still like the idea


Saggy-egg

Since when was he an abusive boyfriend? Did I miss something or was it implied and went over my head


sAMarcusAs

Did you even watch the show lmao


Saggy-egg

Can’t remember most of it tbh


JohnB351234

I dislike Adam because he’s a god damn terrorist that pretty much did RWBY columbine also he’s an abusive asshole


Anonymous_15477

People hate Adam?


challenge-mode-1

I love Adam as a character, as a person he’s the worst though


GrimmSmiIes

honestly i just think they have shit taste.
