I wouldn't say that your opinion is really invalid or anything. It just seems that there are certain things about the show that don't seem to strike a chord with you. And I think that's fine. There are a lot of people that are able to accept Sword Art Online, for example, and enjoy the show even though I'm sure that they have been exposed to the numerous topics on forums online that talk about how fanservice-y, harem-y, slice-of-life-y,...etc. it can get. Same thing with another anime Kill la Kill. There was a lot of controversy around that show which I'm sure a lot of fans know about and have discussed. But even with that some people were able to enjoy the series for the things in it that they personally found interesting.

Like for RWBY for me, I was really pulled into the show partly by the color theming and the notion of transforming weapons. Then the community itself was something that managed to keep me interested. If I never visited the RWBY wiki or was part of the tumblr community, I can't really say that I would have been half as interested in RWBY as I am now. Reading all the fanfics and discussing theories and seeing the fanart still gets me interested in RWBY and has sort of fueled it.
