@KNN: Nice to see you being yourself KNN...

Who are you to chastise me for not being too enthralled in my culture? No I do not ignore my culture, thank you, and I am rather interested in it at times (I went on a KINO binge recently, and I have done my limited share of research on Soviet Russia as well as Russia in the 80s and 90s), but it isn't my world, it's not a pilgramage site I must retake when the Saracens invade. All of my opinions of Russia are my own, not influenced too much by my family (which I do love, KNN) or my upbringing. I don't care about what Russia does, and indeed I dislike Russia for all the shenanagins it does, but I am sympathetic since Russia has often gotten its teeth kicked in (know why Russians are portrayed as drunk? It's often because they need to numb their pain). Hence, it's nothing special to me, it's just a place. And I actually have family there, what relatives do you have in Africa? I'm honestly curious.

I'm American first and foremost, and I eat cheeseburgers and love my $ .98 drinks from McDonalds (though their burgers, I will concede are not good for their price). That does not mean I am uncultured, KNN, I just have a different sense of culture. I appreciate art, but I do not understand society's arbitrary desicion to reward certain artists but wouldn't look at amazing concept art made for video games just because it's a commercial product (what the hell is a painting then?...).

As for you chewing (someone?) out on not caring...oy hell. It's not wrong to be apathetic, indeed humans are probably geared toward that, it's a defense mechanism. The reason people don't care about things is because there's little they can do that others haven't already done. Child I don't know born with AIDS? I had nothing to do with that, and I get checked out anyway (not me, just people in general get it checked). Mother Nature and pollution? Nature'll be fine, question is what about us? People struggling to pay rent? Happens with everyone, it sucks but it's a thing that happens, it'll probably happen to me too for a point in my life, I'll have to deal. JRPGs not- oh Christ KNN. Only you would expect JRPGs to have a lesson that isn't "the POWER of LOVE AND ''FRIENDSHIP." ''Yeah, JRPGs can be fun, but unless they're spectacularly well crafted, I don't expect much from them (I play games for games mostly, but Valiant Hearts is my favorite).

People don't change overnight, and people don't appreciate things being shoved into works or cynically added to appeal to something. And you keep having these big expectations for RWBY to change everything and be a beacon of hope, but it's not meant to be that, it's meant to be a fun show people watch (though I will admit I too wish they change shit...I wish they can stop the damn lolicon shit otaku in Japan partake in and Weebs eat up). Want to know one advantage of not giving (as much of) a shit? We don't get disappointed.
