Talk:Cinder Fall/@comment-28171999-20170718131326/@comment-71.175.63.159-20170719191255

I'm going to put my response to all this in the blog post Chishio's graciously made about this topic so as to avoid clogging up Cinder's comment section with a discussion that has nothing to do with her but I do want to make one further point with regards to what started this discussion chain.

@ChishioKunrin I've seen you express the desire to know why RWBY fandom in other places have a generally negative attitude towards the Wiki outside of being a source for canon information? I can guarantee you the fact that you (general You meaning the Wiki) not only allow but almost seem to actively encourage users to just randomly spout flamebait about a character in a discussion where it wasn't asked for or warranted is exactly the kind of thing that makes people not want to come here. If Arkantos98 doesn't like Ruby as a character for whatever reason, that's their right, but coming into a comment thread about somebody asking who should defeat a particular villain and saying they hope a 16 year old girl gets murdered purely because she doesn't "qualify" enough as a character/protagonist for them? Is obviously trying to incite arguments and create a negative atmosphere for discussion. But there was no discernible public warning about that kind of behavior given (only JoeCoast was reprimanded for responding aggressively back) and this is not the first time I've seen this happen on this Wiki (and it hasn't just been Arkantos98 that's guilty of it so I'm not trying to dump specifically on him, this is behavior I've seen elsewhere on the Wiki from both registered and non-registered users). People don't want to come to a general fandom space and see aggressive hate being dumped on characters and/or other elements of RWBY. It's not fun. At least on Tumblr you can block people who are obviously trying to flamebait or downvote them on Reddit, but you can't do that here. There's being critical of a character or plot in order to create interesting discussions and then there's being a troll.
