#'oh a military general visiting a CEO isn't indicative of croniness or closeness'

[inflammatoryfandomblog]

not going to reblog to the long novels being thrown at me, but:

rwby isn’t anti-military; winter is a girlboss who defends the realm and never bends; marrow defects; the ace ops save harriet are uncomfortable with ironwood’s orders, etc. it doesn’t even really closely critique the military’s power; it’s just there as a background element (one people refuse to acknowledge at all)--ie when they make an insufferable bad guy try taking away ironwood’s second council seat.

the show does inadvertedly show that the atlesian military is flawed in systemic ways in atlas’s political system, it just doesn’t explore them a lot, and people are right to think that it *is* flawed even if they’re annoying about it. just because the ace ops aren’t going around commiting war crimes doesn’t mean that the military isn’t being politically corrupt in the specific ways i mentioned.
