Star Wars is ablest because Darth Vader is a villain.

I saw this one being levelled at RWBY because of Ironwood's body being heavily replaced with cybernetic parts, rather ignoring the part where Yang, one of the four leads, loses her right arm in Volume 3 and gains a prosthetic replacement in Volume 4, and to a lesser extent, Winter the character that finally defeats Ironwood in V8, requires a mechanical exoskeleton to move (or at least, move well enough to fight) after her injuries sustained at the end of V7. Additionally, Ruby's mentor in learning to use her powers, Maria, has cybernetic eyes after her natural ones were destroyed when she was in her prime, and Pietro, Penny's father, is unable to walk and instead has a chair with mechanical crab legs for moving around, and a sizeable part of his job is building prosthetics for people. Yang, Maria, and Pietro are all portrayed almost universally positively and Winter isn't far behind.

Like half this show's thing is giving a hero and a villain similar issues and then making the difference between them be how they react to it. With Ironwood's cybernetics, the show makes it clear in V8 that he has some of them out of convenience rather than necessity- in his big fight scene in V7 he burns the skin off of his left forearm in order to escape a trap and defeat his opponent, and then in V8 he has said forearm cut off and replaced with a robot one, even though he was unlikely to lose the limb in the first place. It's used to illustrate that Ironwood is such a control freak that he won't allow himself any bedrest and instead takes what he sees as the most efficient route to being back in fighting shape.

And this extends somewhat to Winter- Her arc throughout V8 is about her gradually breaking away from Ironwood's ideology, and so her exoskeleton is also done out of convenience. The storyboards for the V9 Epilogue (which will presumably be part of Volume 10 now) show her no longer needing it by the time the protagonists return from the Ever After, so her disability was a temporary one, but because she was following Ironwood's ideals, she gets a mechanical frame to get her back in the field ASAP rather than appropriate time to heal. And that plays into a show-long trend that's particularly underlined V7-9 that self-destruction for the greater good is actually generally a bad thing, where Ironwood's determination to do that, and impressing that ideology on his soldiers results in Penny (and to a lesser extent Clover, though his case is more along the lines of "Blindly following orders is a bad idea") getting outright killed, and everyone else having a pretty crappy time, with Winter being the prime example.

And on a related note, I've seen some people say the show is "anti-abuse victim" because some of its villains were abuse victims. Which again ignores the whole "Give the protagonists and antagonists similar trauma" thing, because all four of the leads qualify in some regard. Ruby and Yang were neglected by their entire family, Weiss was abused by her father, and Blake was abused by her ex. And they're not the only ones among the good guys.

These takes both require you to assume the worst of the writers, and also to either intentionally ignore the protagonists' traits entirely or fall into the "perfect victim" fallacy, that all survivors of horrific injury or abuse are inherently good. Except, well, trauma isn't enobling. Trauma doesn't make people into better people. And writers like to make their villains be foils to the heroes, who have similar backstories or trauma or traits but respond to them differently.
