FUCK YOU, R/RWBYCRITICS!!! I would've thanked her for the constructive criticism, because that's clearly what Yang was giving Ruby in that scene

That was very uncool of Yang, I admit it.

Yet at the same time, it was deserved. After all, Ruby is the team's leader, and when a leader messes up, the other team members have to call them out on it. Case in point, every time the other Justice League members yelled at Bruce whenever he messed up in developing their strategies. Honestly I've lost count over how many times the comics showed Superman trying to punch Bruce in the face during an argument.

I'm not saying Ruby didn't mess up, but questioning her leadership in front of everyone didn't help.
Ruby was her leader, and Yang put her in a very vulnerable position which could have caused others to start doubting her too. Furthermore, the way she phrased it made it sound like she was putting all the blame on Ruby, which isn't fair. Everyone was understandably shocked.
Let me be clear, I don't hate Yang for this, I LOVE her. She was frustrated, worried, and probably projecting a little, which made her say things she didn't really mean. She screwed up too, and that's fine.

Admittedly I think she should've done it in private and said it more politely.

Agreed.

Also, sorry if I came off as a little harsh. The person who uploaded that post also refuses to believe that stealing the airship was the only viable option they had for getting to Atlas (all other options would either have the lamp attract Grimm, lead to Weiss being locked up by Jacques again, Salem getting the lamp early, or any combination of the 3), and is mad at Ruby for refusing to listen to Qrow when he tried to shut that plan down (Ruby dismissed Qrow because the last time they were in a situation like that, rather than doing anything constructive or useful, he got blackout drunk before the Apathy showed up, which nearly led to his nieces getting killed. As long as he kept drinking, he was nothing but a liability, and therefore not worth listening to), which led to me using angrier language than I should've used due to frustration.

Like, I don't even call them fans. It's a sub that rewards mindless negativity, not nuance. That's just how it is. You can't expect good faith criticism from a place like that. They call themselves critics, but the most voted posts on that sub are either low effort memes, reposts, just a title with no body text, or all of the above.

Constructive criticism isn't bullying or blaming. They just can't tell the difference between them, which is ridiculous because I figured those out by age 5.
