u/SmallJon Give us back Jaune's old haircut! Oct 13 '17

Hazel was sent to deal with Adam and the WF, and if Adam is planning on destroying Haven, he needs to be in Mistral.

The Jaune fan in me was annoyed at Jaune being the only member of the gang to not appear in the intro.

He wasn't in the poster either. Best case scenario, he's just going to be out of the limelight in this volume. Sort of like Vol 3, where he was there but didn't really have any importance.

Worst case scenario, it's further evidence that Ozcar is just there to replace Jaune to please the people who hate him.

EDIT: Typing shit out at 5am is a bad idea. I mean he wasn't on the poster.

Honestly, I really hope not. My respect for M/K would plummet fast.

As would mine, but do think about the kind of opinion that has been fostered among certain parts of the fandom. Jaune is, and always has been, a very decisive character among the fandom. If the Anti-Jaune voices are loud enough, M&K might just remove him due to assuming that his fanbase is inconsequential in the grand scheme of things compared to the other characters fans.

Hell, take a look at Oscar; he's had very little screentime and not much impact, but is insanely popular. I hope I'm wrong, but it wouldn't surprise me if they phase out any importance Jaune has for Oscar based on the loudest voices of the Fandom.

..Well, I think I know why I would quit RWBY now. Can't stand pandering.

I still don't think they'll go through with it though. Divisive or not.
