Ruby isn't homophobic, she's just extremely stressed and angry, right now. She would have lashed out, even if Yang and Blake weren't together. She was absolutely out of line for how she acted, though. I really wish Weiss had slapped her. #RWBY9 #RWBY9Spoilers

Also, it's easier to lash out in anger, than it is to cope with the crippling depression. In my case, when I am lashing out in anger, I'm actually depressed as fuck, deep down. Sometimes I get so angry that I start to cry. Just raw human emotion. It's hard to cope.

Ruby needs someone she trusts, to help her cope with how she's feeling. At least when she flew off, she wasn't alone, Little is still with her.

@DisneyFan84 Weiss slapping her wouldn't solve anything, it would actually have made things worse

@Indom987 You're right, but I still feel like she'd deserve it. I've had people go off on me like that, so this scene pissed me off because it reminded me of certain people from my past who should have had the shit slapped out of them. I know Ruby is stressed, angry, and sad, but GODDAMN.

@DisneyFan84 What in the world is with these nuclear takes at the moment. Ruby being homophobia, Yang being a horrible sister, Man people spreading this have spent way to much time on twitter.
