RWBY Saints of Remnant Notes: Should the SDC and Jacques be bad guys? Or one of the few Good Guys amongst corruption in Atlas?
DISCLAIMER: This post contains is a radically reimagined Jacques Schnee and SDC in a positive light in a heavily reimagined RWBY AU and has cliche tropes such as "dead mom" which I intend to complement with as "dead dad" of another family, if Canon Jack and SDC has given you a permanent bad taste in your mouth along with Canon Adam Taurus, I understand, this is an AU, just please do not come in with bad faith and ignore me instead.
Said AU is connected to The Emperor-Verse
I'm writing down notes and my gut just wants to make Jacques redeemable, but given how much damaged he has done to others, both his family and an entire people, that seems to heavy of a task without him ending up dead. But that was when I rebooted it by the end of V3.
But making this a hard reboot from the beginning then it hit me, and you do not have to agree with this at all...
What if instead of the SDC and Mr. Schnee being part of Atlasian corruption...
They along with James and the Atlas Military/Academy are the only few good individuals and institutions in Atlas, and both are paying the price for it from their upper class peers?
What if instead of Jacques being this opportunistic conman, he is Nicholas' biological son, and a former huntsmen in his youth who was on the same team as James Ironwood who served as his leader and who Weiss and Winter fondly call “Uncle Jim”, basically to them what Qrow is to Yang and Ruby
Jacques stuck to his father's principles and has managed to uphold The Schnee Dust Company as one of the few ethical businesses in regards to the Faunus, as well as providing support to other ethical businesses in the northern kingdom, mostly forming genuine friendships with their owners, and refused to outsource labor and resources when everyone else in Atlas did.
But as a result, James and Jacques are being ganged up on left and right by the upper class.
The only reason the Atlas establishment has tolerated Jack and his company for so long because the Kingdom was heavily dependent on them along with other companies for Dust and other goods and products, until recently with a growing unethical conglomerate run by Dr. Gray(Watts) with his mega-corporation GigaWatts Incorporated(Think OCP from Robocop and Lexcorp from DC), and plans on getting rid of the SDC and becoming the kingdoms new source of manufactured goods, tech, and labor, including dust mining and GWI is known for unethical use for Faunus labor in both the mines and factories.
Though I might just toss the Faunus Racism thing given how much of a mess it is and rework the WF for something else and have Atlas Upper Class replacing well-paying jobs with robots to keep the lower classes underpaid, or I could try something with both, need input on that.
Buy anyway, The SDC used to be big, but not in a megacorporation way. The SDC was one of the top four successful companies in Remnant back in the day(because 4 is the magic number in RWBY), and as I said before, Jack had made partnerships with other businesses both in his homeland and a few in other kingdoms during trips with his family, but its very few and Jack had made genuine friendships with the owners. He never stripped the human element out of his business.
You could say GWI is a large-scale "Evil Queen" figure
While the SDC is a large-scale "Snow White" figure, in more ways than one, but that's once again another story for another day.
Now GWI is overshadowing them at an accelerated rate with hundreds of Atlasian corporate companies joining it in exchange for Watt’s technology as well as Atlas Military’s higher ups hiring Watts to develop their military technology and last but not least outsourcing Dust Mining to the likes of Vaccou and Jacques and James are the only few who suspect Watts’ whole campaign being a “snake oil” tactic for something insidious as Arthur has all of the upper class eating out of the palm of his hand.
Meanwhile the likes of the White Fang and other kingdoms see Jack, SDC, James and The Atlas Military as just a bunch of rich pricks due to being part of the upper class(millionaires though, not billionaires, and even that’s dwindling now), seeing Jack and Jim as "one of them"
and understandably so mind you, given the rest of Atlas’ actions, but also because the current leader Rina Kumokage is lumping them in deliberately to distract the other members and branches(North, West, and South to be exact) of her own selfish and twisted intentions for the White Fang among other things
Though the White Fang itself seems to be in the hands of corrupt individuals in their neck of the woods. With the likes of Blake and Adam seeking to root it out, Adam being a little too aggressive in his means while Blake seeks outside help, which has strained their brother-sister relationship.
Spoiler alert, the corruption of The White Fang is not from Adam but a new character, Adam isn't the bad guy or a psychopath.
In this AU Adam is more like a cross between Fall of Cybertron Grimlock and Zuko, but he's another post for another day.
But anyway, the persecution of the SDC by the rest of the Atlasian upper class has gotten so bad, radical anti-Faunus militia Kriegsratten Korps aka “The Rats”(they allude to the Rats in The Nutcracker and mixed with Wolfenstein Nazis) and most likely be members of the Atlas Military throughout the ranks supplied with tech from GWI even secretly supported the corrupt council and big business, start attacking the SDC mines killing Schnee family members for being “faunus lickers”, one of them being Jack’s wife Anastasia(both alluding to the Russian Princess, and Snegurochka a Russian fairy tale character) while James struggles to provide the mines and family security while being undermined by higher-ups.
Yes I know dead mom is cliche but I plan on complementing(is that the right word?) it with Blake losing her own father Ghira and leaving her mother, Noire(aka Kali), widowed. And I have a reason for that later on down the road.
Also Jacques isn't a monster, he just isn't a perfect parent and seems cold on the surface, but its mostly due the burden he bares of being a single parent, and upholding a noble family legacy, giving Faunus descent and honest work, and holding out with other businesses he’s made partnerships with. Their something of a resistance group against GWI.
All with countless of peers trying to sabotage him and James to the point its claimed his family and lover, all of which is straining his relationship with his daughters and his former teammates, James in particular. Plus losing his father at an early age and the board of directors forcing him to become CEO caused him to develop anxiety issues with only his mother and girlfriend and later on wife and children keeping him sane.
James and Jacques together allude to “Atlas” with a great burden weighing down on their shoulders they struggle to hold it up
He's a bit too harsh on Weiss with her huntress training(ie the White Trailer) but in order to defend herself against assassins, and sends her off to Vale in hopes she would be safer there(relatively speaking.)
But the way he does it comes off to Weiss as her father not caring about her other than making her a trophy for his own reputation and being out of his way otherwise, and HOO-BOY don't get me started with how pissed Winter is with him.
Like I said, if all of this you can't vibe with because its supposed to be Jacques and Canon Jacques along with Canon Adam has put a permanent bad taste in your mouth, thats fine, I feel the same about other characters in other stories. No judgement.
I plan on making a post to dive deeper into Jack, but I will say he's primarily Jack Frost, but his secondary allusion to "The Nutcracker"
I'm also recycling this concept for my own original works, not sure what exactly, but something.

Y'know, the fact that a lot of the employees found out via Twitter is messed up.
Like "Breaking up with someone through a text message" messed up.
They deserved to have found out through a company email or in a meeting.
There are so many people who just lost their jobs and they found out through Twitter. That's just nuts.

This is gonna be a not very conventional critic post about rwby, but it’s one that I wanna talk about. This is specifically about how much the trains suck in rwby.
Starting off with the forever fall train, this is bad.
The wheels aren’t even on the rails ffs, how can it run then? What’s the point of having rails and wheels if they’re not even gonna touch.
The subway train also suffers from this but at least some of the wheels are on the tracks
Next is the Argus train… dear lord. This thing is so ugly, this thing looks less like an actual train and more like you asked an AI to generate a futuristic train. Now there are armoured trains in real life, they were used in WW2, but this doesn’t seem to replicate that at all, and looks so awkward and it doesn’t even look like it functions properly.
Finally the mistral train.
Oh boy, first of all the wheels are the biggest issue. The wheels are so fucked up, on real trains they have wheel flanges (the parts of the wheels that guide on the rails) they have them on the inside of the rails. In the mistral one they have flanges both on the inside and out. This would cause excessive friction on the tracks and would cause the train to move slower. Incredibly inefficient.
Secondly the cab and boiler are separated from each other. That would usually be where the firebox is. The point of a steam engine is that the firebox heats up the water in the boiler to make steam that creates pressure and moves the cylinders. The firebox being removed defeats the purpose. Also the cow catcher on the front it too high to be able to do it’s purpose which is to not run over any livestock that may stumble onto the rails. It defeats the purpose of having it.
I know this stuff doesn’t matter in the long run but as someone who’s special interest is trains, this kinda thing is important to me and I just want to talk about it

A few comments on a recent post about RWBY I made got me thinking about something. Basically, I think that Rooster Teeth – and possibly by extension its parent companies – have artificially inflated RWBY as a media project and franchise rather than letting it grow organically. Therefore, it became a bubble that was bound to burst at some point. RWBY might never have been a profitable IP, which might be very relevant for its future.
This is not a problem that arose after Monty Oum‘s passing, I feel like this was already coming before that. Shane Newville‘s open letter (which absolutely comes from an emotional, mentally unwell state of mind, but has had many of its contents confirmed over the years, even beyond being one of the first descriptions of the toxic work environment at Rooster Teeth) makes a few points that support this impression. Whether you agree with the letter or not, you cannot deny that the first two volumes of RWBY, while they also had merch accompanying them and stuff, were not produced following industry standards – starting with the 3D software used, Poser Pro (Monty Oum‘s preferred tool for animation). This led to some really creative animation work that, while not always high-quality by industry-standards, was certainly pushing boundaries. It was creative and it worked for what RWBY was: a passion project created by someone who saw animation as his strongest suit – as his preferred medium to tell a story. I‘ve seen a lot of people claim that Monty Oum wasn‘t a writer, and while that‘s true, I feel like the implication of that statement is always that he couldn‘t tell stories on his own. I don‘t think that‘s true. I think Monty Oum was a great storyteller when it came to expressing certain things through animated action scenes. It‘s just that he wanted to tell a story that included more than just that and a few lines of dialogue – which is where Miles Luna and Kerry Shawcross come in, two at the time very inexperienced writers (who possibly had a fallout with Monty Oum over creative differences later), as well as some talented folks – people like Shane Newville. They were chosen to work on this because Monty Oum acknowledged their potential and liked to work with them, and I feel like that created an environment where they were really allowed to flourish. Volumes 1 and 2 are certainly not flawless, but I feel like I can tell the people making it had fun.
To Rooster Teeth however? I think RWBY (and by extension, Monty Oum as a creator) might have been little more than assets to them. RWBY was first created around a time when RT first tried to be more like, well, an actual company. At least from 2014 onward, but possibly even earlier than that, this included an effort to conform to industry standards more, mostly in order to be able to hire more people – very visibly so in RWBY in the form of the switch to Maya (my opinion about that is, the way they did it didn’t do RWBY any favors at all). I think they saw RWBY and Monty Oum as an opportunity to appear… More important, bigger, than they ever really were.
So what did they do? Again, I kind of have the feeling that they “upscaled” RWBY to a size where it appears like this big thing, but it became far too much to handle. Essentially, they created a mock giant, or a metaphorical quasi-star: something that can appear big from afar, but is actually very small / unstable (and if we go with the quasi-star metaphor, disturbs all of its surroundings). This is what I mean when I say that RWBY was a bubble bound to burst, because no star lives forever – and quasi-stars can only exist under very specific, very unstable conditions (I linked a Kurzgesagt-video in case you’re interested what exactly a quasi-star / black hole star is / was, cosmology is so fascinating IMO). Once these conditions exist no longer, they both fall apart and collapse into the black hole that is their core at the same time.
My main argument for this is that RWBY was essentially a huge money sink for RT (Source: Barbara Dunkelman’s unprofessionalism). They pumped so much money into this… Perhaps even more than they ever made from it. While this isn’t 100% confirmed, it is very much possible (and IMO not exactly unlikely) that RWBY was never profitable — which it might have been if RT hadn’t been so hellbent on creating the illusion of a multi-million-dollar franchise.
This is purely speculative, but this might also be why Volume 10 was never greenlit. We know that Volume 9 was to a significant part funded by Crunchyroll and in fact would not have been possible without them (probably because RT was already out of money at this point). They might have bought into this mock giant, then realized they had pretty much been scammed once Volume 9 aired. This might have led to Crunchyroll’s unwillingness to fund another season for something they knew now was effectively a money sink. Since RT at this point lacked the funds to produce Volume 10 alone and therefore was dependent on investors like Crunchyroll and Warner Brothers… Volume 10 was never greenlit, no matter how hard they attempted to get their fans’ hopes up and start a hashtag campaign on social media (as far as I remember, that was started by Rooster Teeth, not the fans. I don’t have my Twitter account anymore though, so I can’t check). Again though, this is speculation.
The worst part? This refusal of RT to just… Downscale RWBY again, this determination that it had to be this huge franchise… Was all put on the backs of the creatives working on it. We know at this point, from multiple sources, that RWBY and other RT productions have had an incredible amount of crunchtime, working overtime, employee abuse, … going on behind the scenes, which seems to only have gotten worse after Monty Oum’s passing. At the end of the day, all RT does and has ever done is blame others for their incompetence. Like, no shit, I’ve seen fans claim that it’s the FNDM’s job to “keep the show alive” (particularly in the light of #GreenlightVolume10), which… No, that’s not the fans’ job. It’s the job of the company who has been entrusted with this beloved IP, and said company has proven to be utterly incompetent on multiple occasions, which is unfortunate, but a sad reality for all those who love RWBY. And while Rooster Teeth has never directly said such a thing, they have certainly implied it and taken advantage of the existing sentiment within their fanbase, as well as their parasocial relationship with it (again, see #GreenlightVolume10 for reference).
To clarify, I’m not saying none of this would have happened if RT didn’t insist on making RWBY this big franchise (and biting off far more than they could chew in the process) – again, RT was far too notoriously incompetent at everything a company should manage – but I do think it might have played a role. It also isn’t an excuse for all the employee abuse. Again, what they should have done is downsizing the project, not inflating it further and further.
If I’m not somehow completely in the wrong (because IMO this just makes way too much sense to not be at least partially true – but let’s face it, a lot of this is just me connecting dots, and there is always a chance I’m connecting them wrong, even though I don‘t think so), then it kinda blows my mind that there are still people who believe in this scam. Though I will say, emotional attachment can do that to anyone. If anything, I’m honestly sorry that those folks lose something that means so much to them, and that false promises were made to them.
At the end of the day, the story of RWBY (the “franchise”) is twofold. It’s a story about an incredibly talented creator who passed away far too early, who was given the incredible opportunity to make his dream come true. It’s a story of people he trusted taking up his torch, and maybe getting lost in the dark along the way. It’s an inspiring story regardless, and I hope to see it continued at a downsized scale so it can grow organically, preferably in the hands of an indie animation studio like Dillon Goo (🤞)
But it is also a cautionary tale to both creatives and companies who employ them, a tale about false promises, abuse of both employees and fans, as well as how to not run a project. Don’t blow your thing out of proportion too early, don’t create a mock giant / metaphorical quasi-star. Let your ideas and projects grow and flourish organically and sincerely.

I just going to put this here because I’m honestly sick to death of the “Sisterhood” argument and already saw people bringing up Monty again on Reddit.
No, Monty never said he intended Team RWBY to be a sisterhood (Besides Yang and Ruby who are sisters), that bs came from a random website.
The closest thing is Monty saying the interaction between the girls in Volume 2 Chapter 10 were almost sisterly, not that they are unless there a post I missed where he said otherwise then link me it.
If you prefer Yang and Blake, Ruby and Weiss, ect to be strictly platonically with each other or prefer another ship entirely then that’s fine and cool but some of y’all need to stop bringing up a dead man so your preference can some weight to it.

The Emperor-Verse: RWBY: Saints of Remnant, a reimagined AU(More details in Keep Reading!)
Once there was a world by the name of Omnibus. Created by the supreme deity The Author Allfather through the mysterious entity The Storyteller, this world was composed of four holy and mighty kingdoms, ruled by The Author’s Patron Saints whose reign protected the people, human and faunus alike, with their mighty armies, hunters, and their own holy powers from barbarian hordes, and the hordes of The Grimm who were the incarnations of hatred of the fallen seraph Grimmel The Black and his fellow fallen angels
In the dreadful world-shattering war of Ragnarök, the glorious age of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty, and the days of Romance, Heroism Adventure, and Eucatastrophe came to a tragic end.
Now all that remains is the world that is Remnant
But there is a prophecy made by Ozma The First Time Wizard before his death at the hands of The Witch-Emperor, that one day the bloodlines of the original Patron Saints and the families betrothed to them will return to take up these powers, rally armies of the righteous, vanquish the darkness and restore the holy kingdoms and Omnibus and reign over them once more.
Sinners will become Saints
Legends shall be restored and new Legends will be born
And what was a Remnant, Shall Be Whole Again.
But until then, the Hunters lead a struggling battle against the Grimm while the modern kingdoms suffer under corruption of all kinds, both to the benefit of darker forces who have horrifying intentions for the world.
Cue Ruby Rose and her older half-sister Yang Xiao Long, they are about to enter Beacon Academy after being approved by the eccentric Professor Ozpin Pine along with the heiress Weiss Schnee and the introverted faunus Blake Belladonna forming team RWBY
Ozpin has also enrolled a few other students and transferred others.
The former forming team JNPR, and the latter being Team SSSN of Haven Academy
Ozpin seems to have his eye on all of them, but what for?
Heavily inspired by CS Lewis's series The Chronicles of Narnia
Main Ships Contained:
RoseGarden
BlackSun
Iceberg/Arctic Water
Arkos
Renora
and some other ships
Also will contain unorthodox reimagining such as Adam Taurus(He's an initial antagonist turned good) and the White Fang and Jacques Schnee and the SDC with their Canon!Counterparts replaced with substitutes among other things
Currently the concept is in the works in a series of notes.
Details of the Emperor-Verse
Now I'm sure there's some questions you probably are all asking which I assume are the same questions as my blog
“Why are you using your Religion?”
Mostly due to it being a strong foundation, notably theology, for most of my stories, there are many strong foundations of storytelling, religion, history, you can even fantasize science if you put the imagination, time, and effort into it.
After doing some soul searching and listening to the Narnia books on Audible, it became another important element in making this au and I might include elements of CS Lewis’ Space Trilogy
This AU is set in my fictional Multiverse The Emperor-Verse which Narnia is implied to exist in, or I should say had existed in(its set after The Last Battle)
“Isn’t this kind of entitled and disrespectful?”
Disagreement isn’t necessarily malicious, and entitlement is not inherently bad if its your opinions and subjective feelings which people are entitled to.
Tolkien was heavily inspired by his distaste for how Shakespeare handled certain concepts, such as the Ents when he was upset and dissatisfied that there were no walking talking trees in the Enchanted Fortest of Macbeth, and the Valar Aule the Smith and the origin of the Dwarves make him something of an Anti-Prometheus
Not to mention Philip Pullman, the author of His Dark Materials Trilogy, made it out his distaste how CS Lewis made the Chronicles of Narnia and his overall beef with Christianity, and nobody seems to take issue with that.
I’m not saying the direction RWBY went with V3 or Pyrrha and the rest of the cast potentially ending tragically in some way or another is objectively bad, it was just not my taste
And I am not saying every normal RWBY fan/RWDE person who liked it is an elitist about it nor are all of them trying to insult me and attack me personally or say my ideas are bad
Nor I’m not trying to change canon or its “trajectory” , nor am I doing this to spite Monty, especially when I never knew the guy. This is a difference in handling ideas and concepts.
I’m doing my RWBY AU, which will most likely be revamped into an original story since it takes a whole different directions with the characters and world, but it's mostly because with post V3 and now in retrospect I saw what this world, characters, ships and other ideas could have been all in a story I believe is worth telling. And I was disappointed that it wasn’t.
I mean yeah it's also due to personal tastes and preferences and subjective feelings, at least I’ve been told, but I also try to integrate that in a meaningful way.
So I hope you all enjoy what I have to offer, which will most likely be put on AO3 and FanFiction.Net, and who knows, I might get a few artists to commission to redesign some characters or illustrate some scenes if anyone is up for it.

Wtf
(the following is me over exaggerating my fury as I read this brain rot garbage)
.... You ever just get this weird feeling that you just want to walk over someone's grave when they immediately die.
Thats me right now. And said grave is WR.
Like legit why are the toxic parts of fandom so damn vocal and why they gotta be BATSHIT FUCKIN INSANE
"rehabilitation camps" mothafuckers are trying to be fucking Hitler or some shit?!
"no mentioning WK unless it's to slander" BRO WTF. Ok one, the fact you are actively saying that you are "slandering" Whiteknight is just... I'm sorry but wtf is wrong with you?! Two, People can like a ship to dislike. I personally fucking hate WR and I want to burn it to the fuckin ground, but you don't see me (i.e human garbage) attacking WR shipers just because I hate the ship with a BURNING PASSION.
"law of equivalent exchange" this shit ain't FMA knock your shit off my guy you look like a idiot trying to be intelligent.
"Church of whiterose", y'all ain't a church, y'all just butt hurt because not everyone likes WR. SUCK IT UP, it's just a damn SHIP.
And then it just gets FUCKIN worse.
... Man sometimes i hate shipping because that leads to brain dead idiots like the example shown
And to the person who's wrote these tweets and is reading this post for some ungodly reason. I want you to know you do not represent the people who enjoy and ship WR at all, I may hate the damn ship but i know damn well that there are people who enjoy it without tearing down other ships.
So take your three fuckin rules.
AND
SHOVE
IT
UP
YOUR
ASS!

The Girl Who Fell Through The World Somehow.
So uh how did this girl and her brother fall in here? And how did anyone fall elegantly without some massive fall damage?
Shoutout and praise to @dragynkeep on how they redesigned Curious Cat, kinda inspired me on the coloring and animatic to begin with since they made them have pretty colors.
And another shoutout and praise to my actual real life pet cat, he angled perfectly in a picture to draw Curious Cat looking up.

Ruby, Jaune and Sun, I felt like those three are more like main characters. Aside from being leaders to their own teams, I think there's more to them than just goals to become huntsmen. For Ruby, struggling to become the leader while growing up, with Jaune learning from his mistakes to improving to follow the legacy of his ancestors, and Sun trying to make amends to his teammates in the books. What do you think?
Ruby and Jaune are spot on, but seeing as the books are god awful and I don't consider them canon at all cause they did Team SSSN so fucking filthy it's not even funny.
However I do agree that Sun's journey as a Huntsman should have indeed been about him maturing and taking things more seriously. I don't agree that he's a bad Sun Wukong allusion, just that RT handled him poorly (like everything in their damn show). Sun isn't a terrible leader, but he was definitely getting there to be his best and we never saw his progress because it was relegated to books that focused way too much on CFVY and also assassinated CFVY as characters.
Coco was honestly fine before the books, and I feel that as a second year IIRC, she could have given Ruby, Jaune, Sun, and dare I say Cardin some pointers on how and what to strive for as Team Leaders, and she subsequently learns from them too.
Cardin I feel is a complicated case since in canon he's really just the simple bully archetype, yet we here that he stayed and helped protect Beacon when shit got rough, and I say that could've been the perfect time to turn him into a Eddie Brock/Flash Thompson type person and realize he needs to shape up and atone for his previous behavior. Cardin's not a bad person, he's just a jerk that needed to wisen up but we unfortunately never got to see that.

It's not a post to shit on hydrokinesis as a power, because I love that power to death and it's the best one.
But like, I really wished that Neptune had another Semblance that isn't just "off-brand waterbender" to connect him with his allusion rather than them going the safe but uninspiring route for him.1
Yeah, this is a post suggesting that Neptune should be able to generate earthquakes. Just saying.

Well, can't say this wasn't inevitable.
Roosterteeth is finally shutting down. And despite all the issues I've got with the company, it kinda is a bit of a gut punch. For a lot of people, this was probably a large chunk of internet culture that people had grown up with. From Red vs. Blue, to RWBY, to plenty of their other IPs.
And yeah. They had a lot of controversy over the years, but let's' be real: So have a lot of other companies. They weren't as bad as Activision at the very least, but goddamn, were the controversies piling up a lot.
But that's not to say that they haven't also had some good out there. There are a lot of people out there that wouldn't be as well-known without them. Voice actors, animators, writers, artists, etc. And that's not to mention the community they built.
There are plenty of people I wouldn't have met without RT's existence. Artists I never would have come across, voice actors I wouldn't have followed, animators I wouldn't have admired. All that stuff.
Not to mention the hand they had in other IPs getting more well-known. No way a show like DEATH BATTLE would have been able to make something as great as Galactus vs. Unicron for their season finale without RT's resources.
Let's not forget that this isn't just something that's affecting RT. Thanks to david zaslav and his shitty decisions, animation across WB has been taking hit after hit for years. Even live-action was shat on by the bastard. Batgirl was written off for tax reasons, Cyote vs. ACME was trashed because of his decisions. So it's more than just RT that's going down.
It's a bit of a frightening thing. If this could happen to RT, then what else can his decisions shut down?
Sure, a lot of us here in the rwde tag will be happy about RT going down, but what about the other divisions that WB has?
Not to say that RT didn't also bring it on itself. Between RTX, Gen:LOCK, all their trips outside the states, and the controversies that prompted people to cancel their FIRST memberships, RT was basically one foot in the grave. Zaslav just made them put the next foot in.
Gotta say, that this whole thing had a lot of ups and downs. But goddamn… I sure hope that all the people who worked there are going to be alright. Companies are hardly just the decisions of the higher-ups. They're also people further down the totem pole that will be hurt by this.
Sure. The writing was on the wall. But there are people who will need the support and help that they can only get through community support.
Peace out, rwde tag.

weirdly conflicted about rooster teeth shutting down & the end supposed end of rwby.
because, well, i can’t say the show has a fond spot in my heart. though when i first watched it, i was an awkward seventh grade girl and i had found a comfort show. and then the show continued, and i got frustrated. it was tiring to see my favorite characters become characters serving agenda - seeing a show i loves become some racist piece of maybe. maybe it was always like that, and i just didn’t notice.
and rooster teeth was a horrible, horrible company. an absolute hellhole. i am beyond happy that its done. but it looks like many of the workers didn’t even know of the shutdown, which is awful. just awful. capitalism at its finest i guess.
what’s weird is that i still feel kind of upset about this? rwby was my comfort show just three years ago, and even if its had controversies i guess i still feel sad that’s is pretty much over now. and that’s weird because of how much the show upset me at one point.
either way, im happy that rooster teeth is shutting down, but i wish that it was done in a better way. part of me is sad to see rwby go, but im also happy that it and its company are gone. and at the same time im sad? the mismanagement of the shut down was terrible. hating rooster teeth as a corporate entity, does not mean hating the individual workers who joined simply to make emds meet. all of those people, what happens to them?
i heard about the fact that there are talks about wb selling rwby, but i don’t know how i feel about that either.
all of this is weird and i just wanted to throw my thoughts out there.

I am begging whoever is designing Blake and Weiss to please stop putting them in mostly blue or white/purple.
You cut Blake’s hair you can put her in as much black as you need to it’s her color and please stop putting Weiss in most royal blue that’s not her color it should be an accent. They represent black and white let them do it.
P.s. Stop refusing to put Yang in yellow you cowards

I wanna ask, what’s some problematic or discriminatory things you find in rwby? Because I want to make sure I’m not the only one who feels this about some stuff in rwby
