I did not consider the difference between the two tools, because I am not involved in or informed about the subject. That was my mistake.

Also, have you considered the possibility that maybe that Grimmflesh is the same as normal flesh, and their weapons are simply cleaving through because of Ruby/Qrow's innate strength granted by aura?

Yeah, the fanon potential is immense, but that doesn't mean I agree with making a literal stereotype of a genre and clearly stating so. Obviously, I'm going to be salty when someone just completely portrays a horrible stereotype of a genre that has lasted for more than three decades. You made a weapon that uses a unique source of power not available to the common person, follows gender stereotypes, has a special synergy with the user, and admit to it representing people's opinions of the magical girl genre AKA a stereotype and call me out for saying that isn't cool. If you mentioned anything that would make your character have any identity beyond that, like Bayonetta being smart, motherly, and kind, I wouldn't have booed it for being a poor interpretation of a genre.

If I am being restrictive on what weapon I feel should work well in universe, doesn't that make you hypocritical for saying that certain semblances would be ineffective in combat, like Yojima's gold semblance? You have literally been using emotional arguements that boil down to "you aren't following the rule of cool" to counteract my opinions the whole time, which hurts. Since when was perpetuating stereotypes cool? Since when was portraying someone as close minded cool?
