User blog comment:Varzan Deodinm Beldinm/RWBY Episode 12... wow.../@comment-17711744-20131006040851

I'm not really sure why, but I just can't bring myself to think any less of Jaune after learning about his cheating, or even because he lets Cardin bully him and doesn't want to let Pyrrha help him (yet). Obviously, all characters have their flaws and have done less than honorable things. Jaune was just our first dose of realism. Is the fandom just going to turn on every character as soon as they stop being perfect? I, personally, find one of the highlights of RWBY to be its characters, and I love how openly flawed we can already see some of them to be, with others promising similar things in future episodes. I actually kind of love that what Jaune did is such a dishonorable character flaw. Some character flaw's have a habit of being.... well... really not that big of a deal. Like, "Oh, I'm so mean" as othe characters are immediately like "No, you're not". Unlike those scenarios, what Jaune did was really, really, really wrong. I could write an essay on all the bad things that he did by faking his transcripts. Thus, we see a very real, much harder to forgive character flaw that adds another dimension to Jaune's character. I think I might honestly like him more now.
