Just a quick little video I scrounged up in 2 hours or so last night. I just started shipping this and I wanted to create something to show I'm a fan of this pairings now

*RANT BELOW* *POSSIBLY SPOILERS*
Yesterday I was browsing a certain website when I somehow or another clicked on the "Tauradonna" tag. To my shock, I found out that fans of this pairings were being harassed and bullied because of what happened with Adam and Blake in Season 3 Episode 11 of RWBY. People were saying that this ship is abusive, if you ship this you condone real life abuse, that you're trash for shipping this now, that you can only ship it. All because Adam beat up Blake during a fight and verbally threatened her. Like, actual fighting with swords/guns because Adam is a bad guy.
The hate was making many fans ashamed of this ship, causing them to take down fanart, fanfiction, amv's and other posts they've made regarding that ship. I was very affronted about this and I made a video as quickly as I could and posted it in the tags to show the fans of this pairings not to let the haters beat them down.
I mean, who are you to police what people ship? Who are you to be the moral authority and decide what is "right" or "wrong".
It's F I C T I O N A L. I'm not sure about you, but I have a very healthy and clear distinction between fiction and reality. I can enjoy "questionable", fictional things without condoning it in real life. A lot of the fans seem to ship them as they were before Adam started going downhill and before Blake left the White Fang not how they are now. But that's besides the point, I can ship two characters however much I wnat even if it's an unhealthy ship. Like, I ship Starscream & Arcee from TF:P even though they both have beta each other up, in actually fighting scenarios 'cause they're mortal enemies. Do I think a relationship in real life like that is healthy or could even work? No.
As I said before, Blake and Adam were in a middle of a real fight. Total chaos was going on it's not like he sneaked into her room and beat her up for leaving him/the organization. Not to mention, Ruby was getting just as beat up by Torchwick as Blake was by Adam. Even though Blake got stabbed by Adam in the chest, I was more worried that Torchwick was going to kill Ruby. I found out by accident that someone lost an arm before I watched the episode and I totally thought it was going to be Ruby.
So taht's the end of my rant. Thanks to anyone who bothered to read all of this or just skimmed through it.
