Yet we enjoy watching it anyway. People who have trouble turning their brain off to enjoy a show won't be able to relax and enjoy RWBY, but there are plenty of people who still do.

And honestly, if only well-written shows got popular... I feel like Sword Art Online wouldn't have gotten nearly as popular as it did.

Gotta nitpick, Roman also called the White Fang "animals" to their faces and "stupid mutts" to Cinder, when it's apparently considered terribly racist to refer to Faunus as animals (considering one of the signs in the protest photo from the first episode said "We are not animals!"), as it gives the impression that the speaker considers Faunus to not be people. For some reason, it seems like we're supposed to take his quip of " Fortunately, I'm the best exterminator around... No offense to any rodents in the room." during his speech in Painting the Town as being racist toward Faunus.

Either way, Roman was a jerk to pretty much everyone except Neo, who he liked, and Cinder, who he feared, and he said a few racist things.

I feel like they could've had Weiss listening to the news while she was in her room, instead of just sitting there staring out the window in silence for who knows how many hours. They could've given us a little news report having to do with the SDC, like maybe an accident at a mine or a factory, where it seems like they care more about the human lives that were endangered than the Faunus lives. And then a little while later, we catch Jacques' side of the story where he even shows he doesn't really care about the Faunus who got hurt or killed, he cares more about the merchandise that was lost or is now harder to reach, especially on top of Ironwood's embargo causing problems.
