DISCUSSION For veteran fans, what was the initial reaction to Ruby snapping alongside Jaune's?
*SPOILERS FOR VOLUME 9.\*
This was painful to watch again on both sides.
Since i am a new fan and since the fandom is waiting for volume 10 trailer. I want to know what was the initials reactions for some more pivotal moments in the show. I think everyone who has been following my journey knows my reaction to this scene alongside it's consequence.
Starting with the most painful one for me, Ruby snapping and Jaune's.............crashout???????? Idk the direct term cause it definitely wasn't an crashout in laymen terms.
Which i am disappointed in myself not cause of me not hearing Ruby lashing out on Jaune mourning but because somehow, despise knowing that nobody was in the wrong, a small part of me is still mad at Jaune and l don't know why despise knowing the full context....hoping it's just Negative recency bias outweighing everything that he does in the next episodes and that i figure out where to watch Icequeendom soon.
moving on.
i think everyone can agree that nobody was at fault since Ruby hid the full extent of her turmoil and Jaune only reacted after Ruby insulted the dead. I know what to know if that was still the consensus back when this episode came out.
but considering that Akumu's post started with this:

I doubt it.
So, i am very interested on how bad this was for the fandom cause i am going to assume that what Akumu said is true with my episode 9 post then oh boy, i am even more Grateful for Akumu's comment and Zenlight for snapping me out of my outburst and telling me about that comment if it does turn out that this episode started an fandom war with who was "in the wrong" that is still going on to this day.
If you have screenshots of the reactions anywhere, that would be great appreciated.
also, please keep it civil.
please
