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.
