RT has proven that they can do some dark writing, given what they've done with RvB's 6-10 season run. The current season of RvB is pretty damn dark as well, and also written by Miles, who also co-writes RWBY alongside the Monty and Kerry.

So I have some utmost confidence that shit can go down while still maintaining the same 'lighthearted' image that RWBY started with.
