Furthermore, it’s a show. They could very well not do it anyway, judging by the absence of the Schnee’s in the trailer. By the standards you’re going with, we should be condemning RWBY for showing robbery, assault, vigilante justice, fraud, bullying, terrorism, malpractice, harassment, conspiracy and genocide. Robbery, assault, vigilante justice, fraud, bullying, terroristm, malpractice, conspiracy, and genocide aren't normalized... Whenever they are portrayed, the message is sent to us that most of these things are awful, and vigilante justice is still illegal and committing it has consequences, hence why characters like Spiderman must hide their face and avoid the police.

Sexual harassment, meanwhile, is normalized to a degree and thus taken less seriously in the real world, due to things like movies and TV shows playing it for laughs. This especially applies to when a woman sexually harasses a man.

Overall, it's just kind of gross to make sexual harassment look funny.
