I think it was Adel Aka who, in a review on V6 E1, broke down literally everything as a response to criticism about the show and how it doesn't live up to what CRWBY should have done in response to criticism. Like... Ruby bringing Yang a gift from the train station gift shop - and their ensuing interaction - was just banter and not the meaningful sisterly interaction they needed to display. As if what they did was superficial and doesn't get into how they truly interact with each other normally.

It made Adel Aka seem like he believes everything CRWBY is doing is their effort to appease that section of the FNDM, as if that section is the only group CRWBY makes the show for. And that's just not the case. There are people who, sure, don't take too much against the recent volumes but still recognize the need for change. I have a friend who watches it but isn't involved in the FNDM who was somewhat shocked to hear about the negative reception. To him, he liked everything about how they handled Yang because he loves the blonde brawler so much, and really that was all he needed. And I love character interaction, so when the show has a lengthy run of episodes of that but with no fight scene, I really don't mind at all.

We all consume the show differently. We have different tastes. And for Adel Aka to treat the show like everything is an attempt to appease him is simply wrong.

EruptionFang is pretty alright. MurderOfBirds' livestream discussions can get into some well done criticism of the show, but I wouldn't recommend them for everyone because they're hours-long and full of rambling. (Yes, MurderOfBirds isn't just all sunshine and rainbows for the show. He's vocal about criticisms but wants to be there for the best of the show too.) I don't follow or subscribe to most people we've talked about in the thread, but I've seen a few of all their videos.
