==== Compact rebuttal you can post ====

If you want a short, sharp version:

: Jaune isn’t “proving predestination.” He never goes into Remnant’s past, never causes earlier events, and never creates a closed time loop. He just falls into a dimension where time flows differently and, after years of contingent choices and trauma, becomes the Rusted Knight. The Ever After reacts to people; it doesn’t script them in advance. Even if a story about the Rusted Knight existed earlier, foreknowledge ≠ causation, and no one uses that story to force Jaune’s actions. Nothing about his arc removes free will or invalidates the gods’ test of humanity. The meme is treating “cool narrative symmetry” like hard proof of a deterministic universe, which just doesn’t follow.

If you’d like, I can tune that into a 1–2 sentence clapback specifically tailored for r/RWBYcritics’ tone.
