Ive Been Told RWBY Isnt A Happy Story But I Honestly I Felt Like It Could Have Been Lighter

I’ve been told RWBY isn’t a happy story but I honestly I felt like it could have been lighter

It didn’t *have* to but it *could* have been, and that wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing

But I do agree that it hasn’t been consistent with the direction it *has* taken

But part of me feels like also coming from some people who prefer the likes of Attack on Titan, which I’m not saying RWBY couldn’t be like that either

I just feel like a lot of fans are projecting their tastes and biases, which I’m just as guilty of, but the problem is a lot of people are dishonest about it

Especially it’s source materials are fairytales, folklore, and mythology, something that had been reimagined and reinterpreted by human civilization for centuries if not literally thousands of years.

I just think you can tell all kinds of stories with a world like RWBY and it’s characters

RWBY Fandom: “*sneer* the changes you made in this AU, its not RWBY anymore! Change it up and make it an original story!”

Me: Fine. *tweaks the designs, change the names, and aesthetics…*

Fandom: “Ah! This story is thinly-veiled fan fiction and its characters, world, and ships are clearly influenced by RWBY’s world, characters, and ships you wanted among other things along with you being butthurt which is pathetic and sad cope!

You should disengage the source material, use something else which you 100% agree with, grow up, and ya know, you need to learn to be more original!"

Me: "Philip Pullman did it with the Chronicles of Narnia in "His Dark Materials Trilogy" and you also got Omniman and Homelander from Invincible and The Boys who are Evil Superman..."

Fandom: "Well they can do that with your stuff, but you can't do that with our stuff."

Me:

Very important video

I think it's kinda funny that "you must promise to stay here forever" is literally what the Beast says when he's imprisoning Belle in the movie and it's a Really Bad Thing he's doing and then Rooster Teeth was like "So what if we write Yang to be like

I think that’s rather insulting to The Beast, he actually lets Belle go and learns to be grateful and a better person by letting Belle go
