I don't think this community is very tolerant (not refering to my post, I took that down for other reasons) when it comes to things both in and out of RWBY. There seems to be a very lemming like mentallity when an unpopular opinion, subject matter, and/or 'advertisement' of fan made materials is stated. I didn't see the blog post, but I'm 99% sure it would have been welcomed if the blogger agreed with the popular opinion on music here.

I don't get the hostility towards FAN MADE works that PROMOTE the series, but this is off-topic.

This is my very ignorent perspective on the matter, so feel free to lash me if anything I've typed has been already proven to be utterly inaccurate or wrong.

While I do unfortunately have to agree with you on the tolerance levels, the hostility had nothing to do with the type of music. Nobody liked that it wasn't relevant to RWBY at all and told him to move it to off-topic, some in a neutral manner and some more rudely. One person (although I can't remember who) implied he was an imbecile for not having done so in the first place.

The hostility towards the fanworks, among other things, is that there are other places more suited for it (Youtube for music and animation, fanfiction and probably fanon for fanfiction). However, what with user blogs being for the user and not for the wiki (in my opinion), that kind of demand isn't the too reasonable, and to do so rudely is just... ugh.
