The mid season break is coming, so the Jaune portion will end most likely on episode 14, leaving us 2 episodes for Ruby. Hopefully, we get to see some more Ruby during the next episode, and after. Of course we will, she IS the main character after all.

I kind have to say that the guy bringing up the age thing is an idiot. My assumption is that you live in a country like America, where there are laws forbidding statuatory rape, correct? Yeah, in those countries, anyone over 18 cannot legally have sex with anyone who is considered a minor. This generally creates the social norm that a relationship between anyone over 18 and anyone under 18 cannot work out or is "disgusting." Then again, it's usually okay for a 20 and 22 year old couple, or a 48 and 50 year old couple. So, what the fuck is the difference?

There are many more couples with an age difference of 2, 3, or even more years between them. Ruby and Jaune are only seperated by 2 years. Hell, in school I've seen Seniors and Freshmen couples. That's a roughly 3-4 year difference for those of you who don't know. And the thing is, it's not that long of a time.

Sure, a year will most likely be more than 1% of our lives, but considering that the average human lives for 80 years, with females tending to actually live longer, the Ruby and Jaune pairing is actually okay. Logically speaking, if Ruby and Jaune ended up together, it would be more liekly the two would die at a similar time than if Pyrrha and Jaune did. And that could be a comfort to some.

If two people care enough to remain together for a few decades, then what is a few years of age difference going to mean?

Pyrrha and Jaune may be the same age, but what does that mean? Have they known each other longer? Does the age indicate some sort of maturity between them? Abso-friggen'-lutely not. Ruby's known Jaune (even if it is only slightly) longer, and between her and Jaune you couldn't get enough maturity to create one full adult. Granted, they are working on that and fast, as we've seen in episode 13.

Also, for the age thing, I think I can safely assume most people here watch anime? If so, then I can tell you that anime is NOT wholesome like that. There are often pairings between immortal beings and humans, with HUNDREDS of years of an age difference between them. Does THAT squick you out?! '''HUH?! DOES IT?!''' If so, stop watching anime.

I mean, the age argument should be completely thrown out of the window. No. Scratch that. We should slit it's throat, tear off the head, bury it in a sacred temple, and burn the remains. This is NOT a valid excuse as to why they would not make a good couple. And seriously Wolfman, they "lack the balls to have an underage relationship on a kids show"?!?! For the love of Christ, whoever said that RWBY is a kid's show? Now you're just insulting Monty and the crew, and that will NOT fly around here. As my previous argument states, there is no significant age difference that would cause it to be considered socially wrong.

Holy shit, I vented too much. Sorry for the rant guys (except you Bigbadwolfman), but seriously, I hate stupid comments. The Flagship S.S RubyXJaune is coming along, and no stupid and biased idea of a SLIGHT age difference will change that. Support Pyrrha all you want, but do not use bullshit to try and sink Ruby. Come back with a legitimate argument, and then speak.

Tl;dr Bigbadwolfman is an idiot for bringing up the age difference thing again. It means nothing. Now enjoy RWBY, ship who you want, and stop trying to be an idiot.

RubyXJaune for the win. Okay first off the bat:

I personally think that you're the idiot for bringing up how another user has their own opinion on age difference. Some of us like to be with someone of our own age, okay? Others couldn't care less of the age difference.

Second: Was insulting Bigbadwolfman really needed? No. I believe they deserve an apology.
