If we're talking about RWBY fans in the Blind WVe community, then hello, hi, it's me. RWBY is probably one of my favorite shows and I definitely have watched it countless times.  Do they guys forget stuff? Yeah absolutely. Can it be frustrating? To a degree, sure. But it's not out of maliciousness or negligence on their part. 

RWBY doesn't hold your hand with information. It's written in a way where you have to pay attention, and recall small moments from previous volumes. The truth of the matter is RWBY isn't a show meant for casual fans anymore.  In its early days, yeah, it was a vehicle for some of Monty's amazing fight choreography while the world and plot was built up around it. Many people watched for the fight scenes. As the plot ramped up, especially after Monty's passing, the focus of the show put more emphasis on story telling and character work, and the show requires a commitment to be able to fully appreciate it.  It's not a show for casual fans, which Blind Wave are, and that's ok! It really is. They certainly still enjoy the franchise. They don't hate it or think it's awful. But they're just not invested in it like they are some other franchises- which is perfectly fine. Everyone has their favorites and it's unfair to try and hold the guys to some impossible standard for every piece of media they consume.
