Well a number of kid-oriented shows now have pretty mature themes if you think about it. RWBY would probably display the mature themes in a semi-serious light, but it won't be the main focus of the show. That way, younger viewers would appreciate the show while the older audience would understand the depth of the story, prompting them to watch.

Take for example the implication of Blake's former position of a worker-slave in the Schnee Dust company and her supposed fauna blood. Younger viewers won't probably think twice about the subject and just see Blake as an all-round badass, while us older watchers would see her as a girl striving to rise from her past and the discrimination that comes with being a fauna. In other words, RWBY would probably be a kid-oriented show with depth in the story.

That's just how I see it.
