First of all, fanfiction is about a specific story, whether it's a specific anime, TV show, movie, or book, written in a universe someone else made using characters someone else made from a story someone else wrote. RWBY is completely Monty's own creation, not something based in a world using characters from someone else's anime.

Second of all, from my understanding, a weeaboo is a non-Asian person who tries really hard to act like they're Japanese, favors Japanese culture and creations over that of their own country, and acts like Japan is the greatest country in the world. Monty Oum is not a weeaboo.

He's not some white boy going "Japan is da greatest, desuuu! I want my own kawaii Japanese waifu! I only watch anime subbed because America is so shitty at voice acting. Japan is so superior, desu! I wish someone would make a Japanese dub of RWBY and put English subtitles on it! That's the only way I'll watch it, desu!" Seriously, I'm not even kidding. There are people who refuse to watch RWBY unless someone Japanese dubs it and adds English subs.
