Also, I know fatmanfalling is treated in a manner akin to the Antichrist on here, but he made a very valid point in a Q&A video that I would like to bring up, regarding the idea that shows written for kids don't have to be treated with scrutiny for bad writing. I'll just quote it:

"OK, this wasn't from the Q&A, but it's still something I want to address - this warped notion that family-friendly shows don't have to be good (not that RWBY is even remotely family-friendly). Children are impressionable. I mean, that's why movie ratings exist. So if you think that a child seeing blood, or tits, or hearing 'fuck' will make them grow up to be serial killers or whatever, why don't you think that a child seeing something this poorly-written will make them grow up to be bad writers? What do you think is more damaging: letting a kid know that there are people who say 'fuck', or that people have blood inside their body, or that boys and girls have different parts, or letting a kid grow up inherently understanding that successful entertainment companies don't have to produce content with plot-lines or coherent character motivations? We're just training the next generation of creators with this content, and you don't think it has to be good?"
