All I'm saying is, I like the show RWBY, but I can't turn a blind eye that in a lot of ways it just recycles almost everything seen in anime already. No one sees a need to break the mold. I don't want them to hand out tokens and pander. I want people to legit care about more than Europe, Asia, and catgirls. If they don't, fine, that's their choice. But it's still heartbreaking. It's one thing when Asian choose to live in their own world and not look that much outside of it. It's another when US citizen who are around mutliple cultures all the time still do it because it sells, or it's more accepted, or it's more nostalgic, or it's what they like because that's how anime they like was like. I guess it could be worst. At least there's no character like that boxer "Killer" from DBZ in it. But still it's a shame.

As for Korra and Asami..... I'm glad the LGBT people have their due. But I still say that came outta nowhere. I watched the whole series back to front. And it's just felt like a lightswitch was flipped at during the last season altering their personalities. But that's likely just my POV. It at least it shows progression. Every group of people have bisexuals and gay people so might as well stop trying to pretend they don't exist. That said, sometimes it's flat out out of line. There's an episode of the Amazing World of Gumball where Gumball and this hotdog guy end up sleeping in a tend and hugging each other while rocking back and forth. I believe the episode is called "the Awkward". They show a show of the tent from the outside with just their shadows on the tent sheets and it looks like straight up fucking. I'm pretty sure that's not out on TV at like 5pm in a kids cartoon. Just like it wouldn't be okay if it was hetero either. So there's doing people a solid and giving them and their culture their due time. And there's good too damn far.
