Dragon Ball Z is usually seen as a joke for its writing and it's really only enjoyable because of nostalgia(and this comes from someone that grew with Dragon Ball) so it's not really the best example.

Full Metal Alchemist had a happy ever after ending but there were deaths and sacrifices along the way. It wasn't all unicorns and rainbows.

Akame ga Kill is just that type of show. It's supposed to be about a revolutionary group trying to take down the corrupted government, but showing that no revolution comes without sacrifices from both sides. Just because one important character dies from RWBY it doesn't mean it's Akame Ga Kill. Not even close. Not to mention that RWBY will have a happy ending for sure. You think it will end with everyone dying and the world sank in chaos? No. At the very least team RWBY will have a happy ending. Or at least a death worth dying for even if they went for that path.

And even if it was, just because two or three shows have a few deaths it doesn't mean that "the culture of happy endings are dying". You are talking as if everything was drama nowadays when it's not even close.

Oh, and feel free to write fanon. I don't like it, but there's nothing wrong with it. You are not spitting on Monty's grave for disliking the way the show developed, or from wanting to write another version.
