It was shocking because it jumped way too much way too quickly into Dark and Edgy territory with a horrible case of Cerebus Syndrome. All it did was divide the fandom, and quite a number are 2 steps away from ditching RWBY since they feel it's "not the show they loved anymore", a feeling normal when a work like RWBY does a 180º.
