RWBY Thread III: Time To Say Goodbye

Stop: So gotta few things that need to be said real quick.
so gotta few things that need to be said real quick.
We get a lot of reports from this thread. A lot of it is just a series of people yelling at each other over arguments that have been rehashed hundreds of times since the end of the recent Volume. And I get that the last Volume - and RWBY in general, really - has some controversial moments that people will want to discuss, argue about, debate, etc.

That's fine. We're not going to stop people from doing that, because that's literally what the point of the thread is. However, there's just a point where it gets to be a bit too much, and arguments about whether or not Ironwood was morally justified in his actions in the recent Volume, or if RWBY and her team were in the right for withholding information from Ironwood out of distrust, or whatever flavor of argument of the day descend into insulting other posters, expressing a demeaning attitude towards other's opinions, and just being overall unpleasant. That tends to happen a lot in this thread. We want it to stop happening in this thread.

So! As of now the thread is in a higher state of moderation. What that means is that any future infractions will result in a weeklong boot from the thread, and repeated offenders will likely be permanently removed. So please, everyone endeavor to actually respect the other's arguments, and even if you strongly disagree with them please stay civil and mindful when it comes to responding to others.

In addition, users should refrain from talking about off-site users in the thread. Bear in mind that this does not mean that you cannot continue to post tumblr posts, for example, that add onto the discussion in the thread, with the caveat that it's related to RWBY of course. But any objections to offsite users in the thread should be handled via PM, or they'll be treated as thread violations and infracted as such.

I said this over on SB, but I can't think of any other words now, so few things can properly convey a sense of grief. This news is heartbreaking to wake up to, my best wishes go out to Monty's friends and family and I'll always remember his amazing and inspirational work. Thank you for everything Monty Oum.
 
...It is because of monty I discovered my love of writing (by making a crappy freelancer OC after I got in RvB via his animation). By extension, he's responsible for me finding a direction in my life- and being on this site now. He's also responsible for all the friends I have made, both on SB/V and on other websites and such.

I owe a lot to the man. The world is less without him.

I'm sorry if this doesn't belong here.
 

This is my song, for when someone like Monty dies. Someone who burns bright and makes the world a little darker when they're gone.



This is how we'll remember you Monty. As a man who wanted to make the world a little more awesome.
 
I mean, I heard from around apparently that's the "respectful" thing to do. Shutting down what may be your magnum opus/the thing you wanted to work on but kept putting off doesn't sound very nice.

Oh and thank Dust they didn't turn on the comments for the livestream, even with a dead person people still go "LOL YOU'RE NOT REAL FANS YOU'RE JUST HERE BECAUSE OF THE BANDWAGON LOL/EVERYONE BELOW IS GAY." Seriously, that was in the comments section. Ah internet...

Just leaving this here.


Hey hey goodbye...

I'm not going to say this death is more tragic then any other death, but I'm also not going to say it's less so. The world is lessened every time someone passes on, their friends and family left less for the loss, and only the echos of their existence to remind us, "Once, they were here."

A moment of silence for the bereaved.
 
Already said my piece on Monty's death on the relevant thread. There are no words. Except infuriated impotent cussing at the unfairness of it all. I can't imagine how his family is taking this. You hear about this kind of thing all the time, but when it happens to someone you know...

I honestly wonder whether Roosterteeth will even continue RWBY. I imagine work has already started on Season 3, but...
RWBY was Monty's baby. How can it possibly continue without him?

That's the thing about life: the world isn't fair. If it was fair, it would be Kim Kardashian who would be dead, instead of Monty Oum. Unfortunately, that's not the case.

Just more proof against the Just World Fallacy. And more excuses to kick in the teeth of assholes who are a perfect demonstration of it.

Miles and Kerry have been working on the story with him since the beginning. Theoretically they could take up the reigns, but that'll ultimately be up to them. Animation wise, I have no idea.

Based on all the things I've heard about Monty it seems unlikely that he would want the creativity to stop. I sure hope they keep going.

Yeah. It's probably not an issue of "can they" but "will they".
Whatever decision is made, though, should be accepted by the fandom either way.
