I'll reiterate that it is counter intuitive to consider a two sided war Asymmetrical but this is simply a fact. The Bleeding Kansas analogy continues as both sides were not fighting each other. Rather the objective of the pro-slavery faction was to kill as many abolitionists as possible to change the outcome of the state's stance on slavery. The abolitionist's goals were similiar.

In this sense the asymmetry is not between the NUMBER of combatants but in their objectives. There was far more civilians needed to be killed than either side had the manpower and so indeed a war against civilians is indeed an asymmetrical war.

This is unimportant to my central question. Would you rather a RWBY cover a guerrilla war or another type? Or perhaps you think war arcs are stupid and redudant and if that is the case then I would like to hear your opinion.
