I don't see a fundamental issue with self-inserts (my first OC Gwyn was/still kinda is a self-insert) as long as they're competently written. However, even then, self inserts are the beginning of OC creation and not the end, they often need a lot of revision due to their nature.

However, nothing saves edgy backstory or murderous, troubling personality, especially in RWBY.
