@Just Chish: 1-I know there's still racism and homophobia and many other things in the US. But that's because it's name is a complete and blatant lie, and each state is extremely divided from the rest, and different from each other in both style and culture, in some cases X state and Y state feeling more like different countries than different states. The first bit. Yeah, but RWBY is mostly aimed at the U.S., and mostly at a younger audience (despite having attracted a large number of adults as well). If a webcomic written in the UK is not aimed at the UK, then no, it needn't follow UK target-audience standards. If it IS aimed at the UK, then it'd damned well better.

Second bit. I seriously laughed out loud when I saw "...and each state is extremely divided from the rest..." If you think the different states in the US are different enough to seem like different countries, you haven't travelled the States much. You will see a lot of the same stuff everywhere. Yeah, it's different, but there are many distinct universalities in the U.S.

Originally, the states were supposed to be VERY seperate, but... well, a lot changed over a couple hundred years. Now, what the US really needs is a massive overhaul and reduction of the Federal government.

........ Um. What were we talking about again?

Oh, right. Yeah, they won't do something that complex unless they want to change their entire target audience (I really really really wish they would though).
