Yeah, I've encountered the arguments before and they've been done to death. But after I explained that "anime" is officialy defined as animation from Japan (and Korea in very rare cases), my "opponent" usually realizes their mistakes and corrects things accordingly. It's mainly just the misconception that "anime" defines style, but it's actually country of origin. RWBY, Teen Titans, Boondocks, The Last Airbender, etc. are American, so no matter how much they resemble anime, they cannot be anime. Companies like MyAnimeList and Crunchyroll create confusion by including anime-inspired cartoons, though even they acknowladge that their really just putting them there because anime fans will connect to them. But, some opinions are hard to waver, even if they are false.

In my opinion, if you want to calm things down, change the term on the show page to "anime-inspired web cartoon" like the other Wikis, then lock the page. No one will have edit wars anymore, and it will be with a term that the majority of people agree on. 'Cause if it's really as bad on this Wiki as you say, talking about it on the Talk page will have no effect. See, I'm a trusted user on the Villains Wiki, and RWBY has a special place there. We had a similar problem, and we changed it to "American web cartoon" or "anime-inspired web cartoon", and there were much fewer arguments.

Still, thank you to Phantomlink and the rest of you for being so respectful and informative. I might have a special job for you guys later, too.
