Also….I'm slightly starting to ship Qrow and Clover. I'm sick of talking about this, so I'll just get it over with.

This pair has not been enjoyable for me. Not as an elaboration of Clover's character or an exploration -- or rather contortion -- of Qrow's character. But at least it's better conceived than bumblebee, if only because it seems to have had some thought put into it ahead of time.

Am I mad? Only at myself for not recognizing the ideological issuess these shipping battles are proxy wars for sooner and dumping the series before I got too embroiled in it not to take responsibility for what I'd set in motion. "Fool me twice..." know what I mean?

I'm getting off point. The ship is 99% going to happen and I have to deal with that. Fine. Qrow has basically been replaced with a teenage girl who's character model has glitched out so that it resembles someone two or three  times her ageof the opposite sex so this one was kind of dead on arrival for me anyway.

The most I can hope for with this is that Eddy brings Qrow character back in perspective and Clover's character down to earth. Which is to say the Clover's intellectual, but in an affected girly way and not the pragmatic military way a ace operative would be expected to behave.

I know that gender roles are another sticking point in all this mess, but if we're going to have this relationship, is it too much to ask to make it a relation s hip between two men and not two female-insert yaoi protagonists.
