A/N: Hey guys, it's Nathan here. I just wanted to update you guys on some stuff. I hope I don't send the wrong message when I say this, but Turnabout RWBY will be going on a small 2 week- 2 month hiatus. Right now, school has got me down, and I'm really angry with my coach about something. I'm sorry, but, when I started writing, I said to myself, "School and Athletics come first", and, as of late, I haven't been following that. I need to get back on track for the final stretch, so I decided to cut down on writing. Sorry.
But, I have started writing the next chapter. I decided to cut the beginning A/N, and paste it on here, so, here it is (it's long):
A/N: Hey guys, I'm back. School this last quarter will be holding me down, but the end of Tennis, unfortunatly is around the corner. Yay! And sadness...
But, I do have something on my mind. If you are apart of RT/AH/RWBY iFunny fandum, you may know what I'm talking about. If not, I do encourage you to join us! (My name is RWBY_Fanficer. Just a bit of self promotion ;]) But, if you're not, or not interested, feel free to skip (there will be a page break spereating it)

Okay, so I'm writing this (April 22), and, as some of you may know, there wasn't a fight last night (April 21); it was a war. I guess tensions building finally snapped. Aparently, there was a picture that was "reposted". One guy called the other out, and some conversations happened. I'll refer to the call out guy as Cesare, and the "reposter" as Pokemon Emereald, or PE. The conversations grew into an uproar of Cesare critisising PE, and vise versa. It eventually got to the point when PE show'd it's "True Colors", by saying that it did use meaness to get it's name. Then, it escalated into madness. Now, if this WERE going to court, I could see 2 possible claims here (as an un-baised person): 1. A case for reposting, and 2. A case of inner-fandum bullying.
Let's look at #1 first. The claim was PE was taking other people's pictures, and using them as it's own. It refuted this claim by saying she got them from a different source, and got some of it off the front page of tumblr. Now, if I were defending it, I would point out that it has less than 100 subscriptions, limiting her sources of pictures. Also, tumblr is very popular, so I wouldn't be surprised. If I were prosecution, I would point out the search feature, where just type in RWBY, andyou get every picture named RWBY, which is almost all of them. All PE then needed to do was screenshot, crop, and post. Now, as I was looking, I saw that PE didn't do this to just the picture in question, but to another picture that I found. Again, the picture posted was from a user NOT in PE's sub box. This could mean that PE was trying to be smart enough by hiding the connection. Now that both cases were laid out, I would say, to prove either, it has to take time. Maybe it will go away if it was there, maybe not. If someone were to look and see that a picture on PE's account was on the front page of Tumblr, that would help. But, again, for this point, it would take time. But, that isn't the most serious claim here.
Now, #2. Inner fandum bullying, and I say this in all caps for a reason, is NOT COOL. Easy answer to an easy question: if you love something, you don't want people to tear it down with drama. And coming right out and saying that you did bully isn't good. But, there is no way to prevent this from happening. If I was the owner of an image and someone came to diss me, there is something called the "Delete Comment" button. I would be right on it. Easy solution.
Now, in closing, I have 2 requests: PLEASE don't have this end up on iFunny. I just needed to get my thoughts on this out. I remain neutral here. 2Nd, don't be a PE, or a Cesare. PLEASE! We don't need inner fandum fighting. Thanks!
