You know what? I'm gonna do it, and then when I finish a season I'll write a quick review and go over my thoughts, I doubt that I'll come up with anything earth shattering or unique in my observations, but I feel compelled to do it.
 
I’ll be honest, “Women who like Ironwood but don’t like Robyn are just subconsciously misogynistic“ ain’t a take I was expecting to see.
But I was on Tumblr, so I can’t say it was too surprising.

there's still people like that on Tumblr? Last I check there, it's just 4chan lite for women again.
 
To be fair, I doubt any of the Transformers writers were under any delusions that they were making anything other than a glorified toy commercial. RWBY on the other hand tries so hard to front as something it’s not.
OFC the G1 writers don't have that delusion, it's Geewunners who have that delusion. Just like RWBYtards have a delusion of watching peak fiction.

I've seen worse. The creator of that show Dobson loved to draw fanart of, Miraculous Ladybug, once compared people who like one of the show's characters to abuse apologists.

They also seem to have a literal hate boner for said character, making multiple accusations that said character, a teenage girl, is worse than the main villain, has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, is an evil racist, thinks of her only friend as a slave….

Running theory is the character is based off an ex of the creator idle someone who rejected him.

Oh yeah, the Porn Purge somehow drove a good 95% of the complete morons off to Twitter.
But there‘s always a few outliers.

This is one of those times where I have to bring out this trusty quote.

"And...anyone should care, why?"
 
I'm hoping that it delves into the realm of "so bad it's funny".
You're going to get annoyed as the writers routinely shit on and destroy characters who the fans like more than they intended and try to act like our "heroes" are never wrong even when their actions would be catastrophic if the world wasn't populated by morons.

Save yourself the trouble and play BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle instead. Half the cast is paid DLC, but at least they're better-written than they are here.

I'm really not interested in RWBY as a property, and quite frankly it's always struck me more as a fanfiction/TTRPG framework and less as a setting that lends itself well to telling serialized stories in. I'm more interested in seeing what I can glean from it in so far as examples to use for poor writing and animation.

I've seen some people describe RWBY like that as Monty really ad some ideas going before he died and thus didn't have the chance to expand them his way. And because he took a lot from Final Fantasy. People say there's potential for something in RWBY which is why lots of people rewrite it in fanfics and also talk about who'd be the right company to do a reboot of the IP.

Lot of people say that too. And you have a lot of examples on offer.

It really is low hanging fruit, but sometimes you need that in your life. It's what I call a "Kitchen Sink" setting, I'm sure you can figure out why I use that term. These sorts of settings can work but you tend to either need to just embrace the absolute batshit insanity similar to what RIFTS did, or align yourself with an overarching theme/feel similar to The Forgotten Realms.

You mean Monty and company should have just gone for the style of the trailers which was “action you could find from stick figures on Newgrounds with just enough story to keep people invested when the high from the cool action wears off? Even if the story sounds like something from a shitty anime inspired webcomic or a Final Fantasy fan game that got hit with a C&D? I’ve heard that too. Hell, you could say the first two volumes had that Avenue going.

I only watched until something like the third episode of season 4, and this was back when the episodes were new. Season 3 was a huge downturn in quality over the previous two, but one of the things that I realized is that RWBY really cannot sustain itself when a plot arc is longer than two episodes or so. I really liked the Scooby Doo mystery adventures of the first two seasons and I think that an episodic formula would have served the show very well, honestly most poor story writing tends to fly largely under the radar until you start to get into plots that span three or more episodes and CRWBY is (or at least was) capable of writing competent episodic stories.
 
Just don't tell them that three men single-handedly saved Atlas and Mantle and that it was Team RWBY that brought those places to shit.
