This fandom shames me, because I sincerely want to watch this show and this happens. It's beyond disgusting.

Remember when friendly debates were a thing, cause I sure as hell don't. This like Steven Universe or... hell, Star Wars all over again. Now, look, I get it, not all 'fans' are this nuts. These aren't even fans really. They're just toxic little bastards who want to throw their shit around. But you know what, I want to be in these fanbases, and whenever you hear news like... well, this, it's a real turn off you know?
Now, what Rooster Teeth should do is release a statement, like say... "we are deeply saddened by this news. It's clear we let down our fans. If they could do this... We will be issuing a further statement in a few days"
Yes, it's manufactured beyond all hell, but it least it shows they're listening.
This is a classic example of toxic 'fandoms' being taken TOO FAR and what it leads to. This shit right here. I know not all fans are assholes, but some fanbases... they act like none are. It shames me today to be called a magical girl fan -because RWBY is a magical girl show in some respects- because of this right here.

What... The... Actual... F*ck! Seriously people think they can just degrade and drive a person to take their life, all because they do not like any kind of shipping at all?!

Where’s my shotgun!? (I’m not serious about the shotgun reference. Just shows how mad i am).
