So Kuma (the artist) finally released anew chapter of their famous Henceforward AU series and I can't help it but to be afraid of the future of RWBY because this is the kind of thing I can expect from it.

Basically the entire meaning behind Ruby's characterization is your typical optimistic magical girl who solves all problems through the power of love and friendship. At least, that's the impression anyone would get since her backstory is left aside as something trivial while focusing more on the personality of the character and her self-growth which is focused on how she is that light who smiles even at the worst times thus sacrificing all logic in the script for the sake of love can defeat anything.

And so, I'm afraid. Afraid that this fanon Ruby doesn't feel very different from Canon, afraid that when she finally fights Cinder she will try to befriend her instead of defeating her and win her over a speech about love and friendship, afraid that the show will chose love over logic in pure anime fashion and turn those who move by logic into the new bad guys that Ruby has to win over through love and friendship.

Please tell me I'm exaggerating and not taking in consideration several things. I just don't want to see RWBY turning into this as much as it seems to be heading that way.
