Not only has this teen romance story proven how utterly wrong Weiss was for rejecting him, forced her to go through the emotional turmoil, self-doubt and humiliation of realizing she actually wants the exact opposite of what she thought she wanted, but now that she "understands" her own conflicted feelings, the story decrees she doesn't even deserve to be with him.

Meanwhile, Jaune has realized he has no desire to be with Weiss because he's the desirable and cool kid now, and even gets the opportunity to subject Weiss to the ultimate indignity and "poetic justice" of being rejected in turn (but of course, he's much nicer going about it, clearly showing how much of a superior human being he is).

No thank you. Do you watch a lot of feminist YouTubers or something? The whole thing I am going with is that they maybe get together for a time, so there is none of that going on here. I wasn't suggesting that he would have no desire to be with her only that he would seem to be over his feelings and not interested. You know the whole, "I'm not quite ready for a relationship" thing given that there was a girl he was kinda into who got all incinerated in part because he couldn't protect her the one time when she needed him. Part of this would also be that he had changed as I said before, so it is not as if she suddenly wants what she previously thought she didn't, but more that he has become the kind of man she would want.
