User blog comment:Jkphantom9/Shane Newville: "An Open Letter to All Who Treasured Monty Oum"/@comment-1824272-20160512231205

Thanks to Shane revealing a lot of this, I'm going to start boycotting all Rooster Teeth productions and products, particularly RWBY itself. Volume 3 was so annoying to me - Cinder becoming overpowered, the characters fitting too many typical tropes, the fights being boring - that I had little confidence in Volume 4 to begin with. And this letter confirms my suspicions and doubts.

I can't wait for Rooster Teeth to come out and denounce every part of this letter, and I can't wait for some fans to chew me out in subsequent comments. But I don't care - I loved RWBY, and RT has apparently been ruining it from the inside out since day 1, and I'm not surprised at all.
