1-Yes, the show treats him hard ocasionally, but that is beside the point and doesn't really change anything (by the way, "loser" protagonists can still be Gary Stus, Author/Writer Avatars and Self-Inserts).

2-Whatever the point of the arc was for the plot is irrelevant, is the action and resulting situation what matter. In this case, Jaune defeating Cardin non-directly by proving to be the better Hunter in his face + telling him to stop blackmailing him and leave his friends alone.

To follow on the example I used earlier, let's say you make a story set in a school with a message about "facing your fears and problems". How do you push it? By making the MC defeat his bully, something you always wanted to do but never could, but now are doing "by proxy", helping you deal with it.

3-"A lot of anime protags used the "hidden potential" route". A lot of anime protags also happen to be or end up as Gary Stus, especially these days. And again, these points were not to "prove" Jaune is a Sue, or anything.

4-My point was that her mother died, which would normally be used for angst or at least some character development, as was the case with Yang. Instead Ruby doesn't really seem to give a damn or even shows any signs that she gives a damn, getting neither angst nor character development when the potential was right there, not even acting a bit sad about it except for maybe 1-2 short moments.

Which also goes right against what Red Like Roses part 2 implied.
