I have wondered long and hard about what makes this community so cohesive, but now I'm starting to make some conclusions.

This community is based off speculation, and in my experience, it takes a very specific kind of person to take speculation seriously. This is especially true for a up and coming web series, and one that is anticipated to have a complex and interesting world. We are people with big ideas, and like to discuss them. And even if we have friends in real life that watch RWBY, chances are they don't read as far into the twitches of Blakes bow as we do. Because we love sharing ideas so much, we get close enough to the community that we feel comfortable going to Texas with the people we meet there.

So the way I see it, this community is where we can talk to people that share an interest we can't find in our real friends. If that all makes any sense to you.
