I think a common misconception is that we are fed up with the rejection of our OCs. The majority of us who want a more relaxed rule set haven't even had an OC rejected before. We just see many users saying that the rules are too strict, and they are, simply too strict. There is too much saying that we cant accept until it is directly shown in canon, because it most likely never will be, if we never see someone usea tonfa gun in the show, are we ti assume that no Tonfas exist in the rwbyverse? We limit character growth far too much. And honestly x eith the bits and pieces we get with this show, by the time something big happens a lot of you wikk have already moved on from fanon. No one id saying to get rid of rules, we are saying to lighten up.
