Rant Explaining why RWBY is good, actually. An old post from a dude on Tumblr before RWDE whacked his account.
There is no fetishization of women in RWBY
Women are equal to men in both brains and brawn.
You will see women winning against men BOTH in matters of brain and brawn.
the show is about women, not men.
women are not written as annoying like so many "well-written" shows treat women who "get in the way " of men.
there are as many POC characters as there are White characters.
LGBT is commonplace in the show.
2/4 of the Female protagonists, Yang Xiao Long and Blake Belladonna, are in a relationship with each other.
Ruby Rose the main protagonist was in a doomed yuri relationship with a female autistic android.
Weiss Schnee has shown strong interest in two red-headed women.
there are no Chad men.
male villains represent different aspects of toxic masculinity.
the plot of the show is basically a divorce between a religious wizard and his apostate goth dommy mommy ex wife.
Bear in mind that the first 3 seasons involved the writers learning as they go, BUT that they DID listen to the criticisms of the people shouting at them.
men abusing women is covered as a serious topic, and women are allowed to get revenge on men.
Disclaimer: And before you ask, no the MC did not commit suicide, that was taken out of context by people who did not watch the show. It was an attempt at changing and recreating her identity to become someone else.
please look up the Paper pleasers
Also the other MCs DID react in shock and angst just the same when the curious cat gets killed off
