In the past, most of the criticism was either matters of preference ("it's called RWBY, not JNPR", or "why aren't there nonstop fight scenes, they lied to us with the trailers"), or something that was clearly being worked on ("animation sucks", or "the episodes are too short"). A lot of it was criticism for the sake of criticism, and not particularly constructive. Kind of like complaining about lack of fancy features in a public beta. It's not that anyone doesn't think there's issues, it's just that most people accept the issues, knowing they'll go away eventually.

I think now that the show has started to move toward being even remotely refined (probably going to be another volume or two before the "leaps and bounds" phase is finished), it opens the door for people to actually make valid critique without being completely shot down.
