I'm...a very tsundereish RWBY Fan. RWBY has many things I normally would hate, especially Volume 1. I should have Rage Quitted long ago....but I haven't.

Instead I love it, even made theories, joined the Black Moon S.S, made some OCs (Well, not really, just made the long concept for them)....however, I'm not blind nor stupid, I still know RWBY has flaws, some more clear than others, and I won't mind pointing them out to the ignorants.

Regarding the fandom...

What I'm gonna say is based on my experience, and I know it doesn't mean every single RWBY fan is like this, just the ones I've met. And yes, this is going to be long.

The majority seems to think RWBY is good, which I don't mind at all...but inside that majority there's a big number of people that think RWBY it's perfect, which I do mind. I do point out the flaws, sometimes other users and fellow fans help me out, but many times those fans that think it's perfect blindly believe it. They refuse to see any flaws, and 99% of the arguments one makes will be "countered" with very weak arguments that just makes you think you're dealing with a kid, or with a waste of space in the environment.

Others are more calm and make small theories to try to explain why X went like that, but they don't always work.

And another thing that pisses me off about this fandom is with the type of fans previously mentioned, when you can't say anything even remotely bad about the show because they feel like they have been shot and will hunt you down like dogs, for whatever reason. In other words, they can't take criticism.

And while not every single RWBY fan is like that, many are, at least that I've seen. However, I have found 2 other types of RWBY fans:

-Love/Hate fan. They watch the show to bash it, they buy the soundtracks to show it's shit, they buy the merchandise to prove RT is robbing us, blah blah blah. Esentially, this kind of fan hates RWBY, maybe with all their might, but instead of quitting, they keep watching it. They hate RWBY so much, they can't get away from it. They can't do anything but watch the show, even if their hate is still there.

-Rational RWBY Fan. The type I'm part of. The kind that likes/loves the show but knows it's not perfect. They can see the good in the bad, and the bad in the good. Some point out what the writers or Monty did wrong, but make clear they still love the show. The ones I've seen are usually more calm than the normal fans, so I think this type it's mostly the adult demografic.

On the bright side, this fandom does have a nice sense of humor, and it's enjoyable people when not fighting each other. They also show a good sense of creativity.

On the dark side, said creativity presents itself rarely, and it's often overshadowed by many things whose creativity is an absolute 0.
