1-Also denying or accepting both fiction as real as delusional I also have to agree is exaggerated, fiction in itself is not real

2-Everyone's opinions have equal value.

3-to force a strict narrative on it is asinine, obnoxious, and just mean spirited

4-I'm sure there are plenty of reasons for these characters to stay dead, but that's doesn't mean they're aren't any for them to live so no, they didn't 'have to happen'...

5-this is why I stay off the his wiki, both sides take these things too damn seriously and bite each other's heads off about it or act like they've the RT Police.

6- people have the right to change it to their own as long as its respectful and not making money off it,

7-people don't always have to accept what they think is wrong as long as it does drive them to the point of insanity and no one here has nor should they have the authority to force otherwise 1-We're not talking about what is real or not. We're talking about what is ''canon. The truth, the facts, within a fictional work''.

2-They don't. For starters, it depends on the subject: Let's say people are talking about something related to biology. In such case, the opinion of a biologist would have far more value than the opinion of someone who barely knows about biology.

And if one presents their opinion badly, or uses weak arguments, the value of their opinion is lowered for the people involved in and watching the discussion. It has always been like this.

And of course, then there are the opinions that make you wonder if all opinions really should be treated with equal value. Opinions like "women are inferior", or "black people are morons" or "the Earth is flat".

But alright, let's say everyone's opinions do have equal value. Doesn't that mean our opinion on the subject is just as valuable as his?

3-Isn't that what the anon was planning on doing?

4-Pyrrha had her lungs pierced, you can even hear her running out of breath, and then she was disintegrated. Deader than dead. There's no way for her to live, and the only ways for her to come back are as a spirit, robot, or reincarnation in the future.

Penny got sliced and her remains are in the middle of a Grimm infested area. No one is stupid enough to risk their lives and go look for them either, especially since Atlas could just make another Penny. And even if she was reconstructed, it's likely she wouldn't remember anyone.

Roman has the highest chances to live though. He was swallowed, but not long enough to be digested unless Grimm can do it in seconds. The Grimm can easily have protected him from most of the crash. Granted, he's still in a Grimm-infested area so chances to live are low anyway.

Now, "did they have to happen"? Not really. There were other good narrative choices that didn't involve their deaths. But the point is, they're dead, at least Pyrrha and Penny. That happened. And we must accept it. We can hate it, disagree with it, but that's what happened.

5-Yes, because people never do any such thing elsewhere on the internet, or any other fandom. Not on Reddit, not on Tumblr, not on 4Chan, not on KYM, not on Youtube, only in the RWBY Wiki -_-

6-Just wondering, what do you mean by "respectful"? For I personally see such childish defiance and deliberate denial of the writer's decisions and the work's canon as disrespectful.

7-"no one here has the authority to force otherwise". And who says we are? Who says we have? He gave his opinion. In response, we gave our opinions. Our opinions just happen to disagree with his. Is that wrong? To voice disagreement, and just like him, not back down while at it?

Every time someone talks about things like that, it's always just a sensitive kid that can't handle multiple people disagreeing with them. No one can force anything on internet discussions unless they go against the rules. Voicing our disagreement, is neither. (Also, I assume you meant "doesn't").
