User blog comment:Jkphantom9/Shane Newville: "An Open Letter to All Who Treasured Monty Oum"/@comment-28189972-20160513021804

The thing people have to keep in mind is that all of this comes from a biased persepective. Shane was Monty's apprentice, after all. Is it 100% true? Likely not. Is it 100% false? Likely not.

As much as we loved him, Monty did have a penchant for the rule of cool overriding basic power structuring. (penny's lasers cutting the ship in half, Adam was supposed to cut the train in half lengthwise). RT did step in and change some things for the better. They've been doing that from the beginning.

A lot of this reads like Shane having a hard time accepting certain changes that were made for the better. A Raven-JNPR fight would have made no sense. Why would Raven even bother? The Adam-Yang fight and the Ruby-Neo/Roman fight ended perfectly. They both showed how far our protaganists need to progress. The Winter thing I can't comment on, but having her in the military does relate her back to Ironwood, which gives her more relevance than just being Weiss' sister.

As for the accusations of treating employees badly, I can't say. I feel like there could be a legitimate issue there. J.J did just post a letter recently, as well. The thing with Sheena is questionable, so I'm not going to comment on that.
