RWBY Has Concepts That In My Opinion Are Either Very Subjective, Such Tone And Conflict And How One Reimagines
RWBY has concepts that in my opinion are either very subjective, such tone and conflict and how one reimagines the characters given their source material for inspiration and what story is told with these ideas or concepts.
Or “they are either this or that” and the case of the latter in my opinion is Adam and the White Fang and Jack and The Schnee Dust Company
You either go all in on Jacques being a scum-fuck and the SDC a monstrous megacorporation bordering on an imperialistic empire, like what @sytokun is doing with RWBY:Remnants or what I’m sure Celtic-Phoenix can tune up
and make Adam Taurus a Magneto/Megatron-Like character and White Fang like The Brotherhood of Mutants
Or
You make them underdog good factions, make Jack and Adam just kinda well-meaning asses who get better and use other characters and factions as foils to them.
The latter I'm personally going with due to my sickness of grimmdark and plenty of other people doing the former already

Kuczo From Emperor's New Groove Refutes the Bs Sheltered Excuse For Stolas


I know people use the sheltered excuse to cover for Stolas' crappy behavior but I see another character who I think refutes Stolas should be given leeway because he's sheltered is Kuczo from "Emperor's New Groove". The reason why I say this is because why he became such a selfish pos is that he was always sheltered and spoiled to think that way. However, one thing that the narrative doesn't do is shield him from being criticized for his selfishness and callousness. The main plot happens because of his shittiness and taking people for granted like his long time advisor (although that one did have justification because she was trying times to rule behind his back).
Throughout the story he's made to reflect on the fact that his actions affect others and that he can't keep acting the way he is or he will end up alone as a result. And even at one point in the story he even tells off his own narration to feel sorry for himself because at that point we saw that he brought everything on himself and is now paying for it. That is something Stolas would never do because he will frequently deny he's not anything but the complete victim and blame everything after everyone else when it's obvious he's to blame for his own misery.
That's the difference between Kuzco and Stolas as characters is accountability from the narrative. Kuzco's ignorance doesn't give him the excuse to be a pos and he has to learn be a better person or be stuck the way he is forever. Stolas on the other hand is babied and we are supposed to find his ignorance charming rather than obnoxious. And even when it's pointed out he doubles down and claims he's done nothing wrong which shows he is adverse to actually learning to better himself. And ironically Kuzco is just a year younger than Stolas' daughter who acts more mature than her dad. And youth doesn't stop him from being someone who needs his actions corrected.
And most of all entitlement both Kuczo (in the beginning) and Stolas are both entitled characters due to their ignorance. Kuczo for example is so entitled he thinks that there is nothing wrong with bulldozing a village to make a resort for himself while leaving many homeless and when turned into a llama he demands one of the villagers who he told what was going to happen to take him back. Meanwhile, Stolas thinks nothing of extorting someone for sex and then expects to have a relationship with that person since he called it off. However, one character manages to show how toxic this mentality is and how selfish they are for it. The other is treated as deserving of it and thus doesn't get admonish for not caring how others feel until he gets what he wants. And ironically even if Kuczo had moral lapses before truly changing, he comes off as more likable than Stolas.
It's interesting that an almost 25 year old Disney movie can get this character right but a supposedly adult animated show can't. It really shows what happens when let a creator pet blind the story and allow them to get away with more and more shit.

FNDM:

RWBY Stan: You don't like the dark turn in RWBY V3 nor Pyrrha and Arkos being tragic among the other tragic things because your not ultimately hopeful while being aware of the horrors of reality like I am. You need to go outside and touch grass and go watch sitcoms instead.
Me:(lost two people in high school in the same year, one in a car accident) Or you can do that and not judge me and try to force me into a neat little box.
It bugs me how many chicks and dudes in Hunter duty in Remnant show off their midriffs. I get that RWBY is supposed to have sexy characters, as many anime characters and superheroes, but I feel like there's a point where I'm like "Okay, common man."
Like, that's where your vital organs are fam. There's a reason why you lie on your stomach during a bear attack.
Also Emerald sweetheart, I know you like to be sexy(probably for Mercury lol) but not only is showing off your tummy dangerous when in company of man-eating monsters, but your flaunting it in the frigid north.
There's plenty of fashionable winter jackets that can show off your curves without showing off some skin.
