Do you mean the entire RWBY fandom, or are you specifically refering to rwby.fandom.com aka, our wiki?

For the wiki... When it was first created there was a different mentality. Nobody knew how big this is gonna get or how to manage it. Nobody had names so fanmade names were used. One admin was apparently really difficult and controlled everything and was an asshole to everyone. But they got removed fairly quickly. And because of those things from 2013, we still get criticized.

There's also the fact that there's so much info that keeping track of it is difficult. And since sometimes things get missed we get insulted for being shit. And that gives fuel to people that hate the wiki. And so less and less people come to the wiki to help out. Which makes it that more things get missed. And that's a spiral that keeps going on.

Also you have people like SDC. They come here and always complain how the wiki is the worst thing to ever exist, they never help with anything and just insult the wiki when they're the toxic person. For example, I made a page for Shadow Hands since they've been complaining about it. They insulted me about how I'm what's wrong about the wiki because they are blind and missed something obvious. Never say please or thank you, never admit mistakes. Only nag and insult.

When people say the wiki is toxic I wonder if they mean discord. Because chats can be much more susceptible to things turning toxic.

We also have vandalism every so often, like people editing about a dozen female pages to say they are sl***, wh****, and want you to commit suic**** before an admin can respond and block them. And then saying how the wiki is bad for not doing anything. Which brings us back the the wiki sometimes being understaffed. See my comment about the spiral of less and less users again.
