I’ve been meaning to use this as a response to a hater comment but I just couldn’t wait:

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand RWBY. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Rule of Cool most of the jokes will go right over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Qrow’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depth of these jokes, to realize that they’re not just funny, they say something deep about SHIPPING. As a consequence people who dislike RWBY truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humor in Weiss’ existential catchphrase “What’s that supposed to mean!?”, which in of itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m just smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Monty Oum’s genius unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂

And yes by the way, I DO have a RWBY tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothing personal kid. 😎

Also, for those who don’t know, this is just a slightly altered version of a Rick and Morty copypasta. Here’s the original:
