#you know I'd say that the Schnee Family arc is like a mini compressed example of this issue I brought up but that's a whole other post

HOTTEST TAKES OF ALL HOT TAKES

You know what is wrong with RWBY? 

I tried hard to think about why the show’s narrative/fandom’s criticism/fandom’s defense on its criticism bothered me so much and I came up with a reason.

The issue with RWBY and how their main characters are treated is that it’s completely overflowing with “minor mentality”. 

No offense to all minors out there; if you’re a minor and don’t do what I’m about to bring up then I’m not talking about you. 

Even though as of now Ruby and Oscar are the only characters in the cast that are still technically minors, the vast majority of the protagonists are in fact adults.

Young adults but still adults.

Since Volume 6 the protagonists got this mindset that the “adults” of the show, the REAL grown folk, have failed them thus it’s up to them to make all the calls cause they must be right cause they’re young and know everything. 

Ok fair enough that’s to be expected in an action show about kids. Except the show CONSTANTLY picks and chooses when the main characters’ age and maturity should be relevant to how responsible they are. 

The main characters, especially Ruby, are entitled to make all these big crazy decisions without considering the drawbacks or any “adults” outputs but when it’s time for them to face the backlash of their actions, the narrative want them to revert back to being babies in the eyes of Remnant. 

It’s literally minors going around social media, giving away all their takes, getting into conflicts with adult users, weave into adult spaces, yet as soon as they start getting negative attention for it they wanna pull up the minor card like “Why are you attacking me, a minor, as an adult?”

No y’all didn’t want to stay in a child’s place so you can’t just go back to a child’s place cause it sucks being treated grown

That’s what I have to say about RWBY’s characterization and the fandom’s mentality as well as what I honestly think is a serious issue in various platforms.
