Idk, as a Faunus OC creator my first goal is to create a character who fits within canon or canon believability, and that includes having experienced racism as canon has dictated. The thing is actually that people have pointed out how RWBY is supposedly anti-Faunus enough that a terrorist group could grow out of it, yet even though its been brought up several times as context it isn’t depicted as such in the direct plot, which suggests poor storytelling by RT. So either Beacon is very liberal (i guess it's a college isn't it) or the context laid out by the series creators is poorly-depicted and contradictory.

I mean if things really are as bad as RWBY's history and Blake's explanation say they are, then at the very least I have to acknowledge it in some way. Or i could just not, which is like making an African-American character in the 1800s who experiences no racism. Then again, maybe it could be more implicit and less touched upon in backstory...?
