No, I agree 100%. I really didn't like the "you can have her," line, as if she was the last cookie on the plate. That whole scene grossed me out and honestly made me feel a little uncomfortable. I feel like RT is trying to make Jaune a sympathetic character and I think it's unfortunate that they way they're going about it is actually working with a lot of the audience. Like I said before, I'm sick of hearing "poor Jaune." He should have handled Weiss' rejection the way Weiss handled Neptune's and just backed off--that would've had me feeling bad for him and created a truly sympathetic character. More like poor Weiss for having to deal with these guys. So no, that scene was supposed to make Jaune look like a hypocrite. It was supposed to make him seem like an okay-guy (and I guess it worked through the male gaze--but Idk)?And Jaune doesn't come off to me as someone who would have "seven sisters" according to canon. I personally expected him to have an older brother or two who don't know how to treat women with respect yet he still looks up to them. Because that explains the behavior better, imo.
Yes, yes, yes. I found it really implausible that Jaune could have seven sisters and not know how to handle women expertly. If they're mostly older sisters, I'm sure he would have been around to hear horror stories about creepy guys or girls who wouldn't leave them alone, surely he'd learn from that! Right? I mean, unless his sisters are all very distant. But then how would he dance so well under the excuse that he has many sisters?
Foster, I hope you're spot-on. :C
