I mean, Miles did said that Monty was very adamant on this character. From the bottom of my heart: I really hope they do not introduce identity politics into RWBY. It is pretty much the death of the atmosphere. I've seen thriving fandoms completely destroyed because people were disappointed with some character or other. I have seen fan artists or authors damn near hounded to suicide because someone did not approve of how thin they drew their characters or dared to ship one character with someone of a clearly inappropriate gender, or even failing to have them shagging like bunnies, because Reasons.

I like this fandom. Times are hard, and I come here to recover. I've had some nice conversations here. People here are generally smart, and I'm deeply awed by the sheer level of geekery of some of the people here. This wiki in particular is a temple of appreciation for the source material, and I'll do my very best to help keeping the mood here as light, respectful, and friendly as it has been.

But if I catch one whiff of virtue signalling, I'm noping right the hell out of here. I'm too old to convince some idiot that just because I don't think Character A would like to shag Character B, this means I disapprove of the whole damn concept of people being attracted to each other.

There are fandoms out there that are pretty much smoking craters. It would break my heart to see that happening here.
