I don't think anyone can say they hate fanfiction, but there is a fanfiction site and this site is for canon information, so encouraging large amounts of non-canon material isn't a geat idea. As far as blogs around tradgedy or life changing choices, no one really wants to say anything bad because then they look like a jerk. However blogs that aren't related to the site and/or have little weight behind them are easier targets.

It is also a matter of placement. If I posted a blog about my Top 5 favorite movies on a blog, I most most likely get flamed because the blog has nothing to do with RWBY at all. If I posted it in the off-topic area, people would most likely list their favorite movies because they're going into it knowing it isn't about RWBY and so, there is nothing to complain about.
