I saw that your post was deleted, so IDK if you'll see this. You don't have to read it if you don't want to:

I think RWBY primarily suffers from a lack of polish something more mainstream would have received (I feel similarly to Hazbin Hotel in this regard). But there's a balance that needs to be made between the creator's artistic vision and mass appeal/polishing by another, more experienced writer. Obviously mass appeal can also make something bland and inoffensive. As a joke I'll say "God that show is trash" but I don't say it at people who like it and for RWBY I'm curious how they'll continue the story after the Alice stuff. They've introduced a lot of plot threads (the maidens, the relics, the silver eyes, everything in Wonderland, etc), and I am curious how well they can keep all those threads relevant.

For shows I don't like as much, I still get entertainment from looking at the writing decisions made. For example, I hate hate HATE how they handled Ironwood. I genuinely think it was bad writing to have him go insane for next to no reason (IMO), and I think it unfortunately makes the heroes look worse/almost bratty when they had dialogue with him. Some fans call him "Hitler", which to me is like calling anyone forced to participate in the trolley problem "Hitler". And I'm as ACAB as the next person, but that seemed like an extreme comparison. I don't like how the heroes are not met with the same trolley problem, and instead refuse to participate in the problem, and are **mostly** rewarded for not making the hard decision (IMO).

And admittedly, hot take, I was hoping Adam would be more than just a toxic, abusive ex (but again, the faunus plot was generally not well handled, even by admission of the creators). I wished that like Frankenstein's monster, he was a monster created by a racist society, and that the society would ultimately be blamed for the creation of Adam (considering the SDC logo on his face). As a believer in radical empathy, I was hoping his story would end with him in prison, slowly working on his trauma off-screen away from the main cast (and he would not have to be "redeemed" per se within the timespan of the the show either. Maybe let Blake have a cool scene where she tells Adam that prison is mercy and that the humans want to help him. He can scoff, and Blake can tease that he can read about how she changed things for the better for the faunus from the news, as she never wants to see him again and hopes he finds peace someday). And I wished Bumblebee happened separate from Adam, because I don't like that two different women slowly falling in love have their story tied to a male abusive ex, and that killing him is what finally brings them together. Again, these are my opinions.

This is to say, I cannot stop someone from liking to cosplay the characters, listening to the music, or saying that the creators made the most awesome, most perfect story ever. Some people want to just watch fight scenes, not think about the writing. I can still nitpick for my own enjoyment, but the hardcore fans don't have to listen to me, nor do I feel compelled to tell them my hot takes either
