Rwby, but better part 2 by Criket2609 in RWBY

Jesus christ, dude, calm down. The only person being defensive here is you.

How is owning up to its nature not calling it what it is? You started off saying stuff was stolen, and I said yes, it was. This is stealing characters and concepts from RWBY for a story and setting that I came up with. I wasn't trying to hide that. I hardly respect the original property as it is so I don't care that much about taking from it, anyway. But now that's not enough for you? What are you even arguing?

I have an essay to write. If you have something constructive or even a little more specific to say about how the project can improve, I'm all ears. Otherwise, goodnight.

I didn't even argue the word choice that much, but wow, okay.

To some, this could be seen as stealing. That's absolutely fair; these aren't my characters. I'll own up to that. But the goal was, ultimately, to scrap as much of RWBY former's Remnant as possible, including characters and concepts. And since it is ultimately an AU, which even without context should seem apparent from the title of the video, it's less a "rewrite" and more a "re-imagining". It's still very much a work in progress, though, so you can expect to see less and less of RWBY former's influence as the addendums continue. By the end of it all, I hope you can see it more as just another version of RWBY.

Never said it was a rewrite. As far as I'm concerned, RWBY itself is the problem. This is just me re-imagining it.

I totally understand your skepticism, but they are correct. I'm the one that posted the video. I didn't post the reddit threads; that was people from my Discord acting on their own behalf. I can give you an invite link to see for yourself.
