Oh, well, yeah, a few animators like Kim Newman (who did Sun's gunchuck scene in Volume 5) were brought over to the GL team.

Funny thing, someone posted this:
If you want Arryn to be in the OP, I got some stuff in regards to that:
I just remember it leading it to talk about Adam being abusive, which I believe Arryn also feeds into.
I can't find my very first post on his thread but iirc Dobson did post a tweet regarding RWBY several years back (obviously before he was banned from Twitter). I think it was around Volume 4 since I said Volume 3 would trigger him given the "death" of Penny, Yang losing her arm, and the death of Pyrrha.
It's all in the OP under the FNDM category. RWBY's shippers are more or less fujoshis with Islamic fundamentalist levels of defensiveness and spergery.
Yep. Reading all that shit rn. As someone who witnessed fandom autism intermittently growing up I have to say though if you're a shipper being nice is not a fucking option. You will not get anything for it. You'll just bullied out of the fandom so another clique can seize the microphone.
Take it from someone who used to be pretty into the FNDM. If you come across a Bumblebee Shipper: APPROACH WITH CAUTION. While there are bumblebe shippers out there who are actually civil, the vast majority of them are rabid animals who will speed out at the smallest perceived slight at their OTP.
Is bumblebee the oppressed ship unlikely to win? That's uaually why shippers become insecure. Not always though. One of the worst shipper fanbases I have seen, or at least most annoying for me personally, are pretty much a lock and always were.
Actually it stands a pretty good chance of being canon since several staff members support it and the character whose supposed to be the male love interest of one of the characters has had their role greatly diminished... or the writers are just queer baiting for clicks which if that’s the case will end up biting them in the ass. I’m not saying the writers deserve to be mauled by rabid shippers but if you keep fucking with a rabid animal don’t act so shocked if it attacks you.
I am on the side of the Chad Bumbleshippers. Everyone else lives in their world.
The shippers' entitlement is all too understandable as the show's main selling point is to pander to them thanks to Miles' galaxy brained writing. Personally I don't mind Bumblebee and I'd be among the first to welcome its canonization. Could have been an interesting ship had the characters been handled better, but it is what it is.
Okay, they're excessive because they think Miles will reward them if they are loud and drown everyone out.
I mean, people bitched about Neo and she came back.
They don't think that, they know it. Miles is a spineless cuck who has bent over at every opportunity to the rabid shippers to appease them and Barbara/Aryn, Yang and Blake VA's, who are weirdly invested in their own characters scissoring each other.
