RWBY fan media where the characters use "Oum" or "Dust" or whatever instead of "God" is both so funny (not haha funny, absurd funny) and mildly annoying to me. Like, what if Harry Potter characters were saying "Thank Rowling, blah blah" or something. Or if we went around saying "What in the name of electricity are you doing?"
Does it not sound silly, when you read it? Do you not feel weird reading "Dust, if only I didn't do that"
The "Oum" one doesn't bother me as much, but there are actual gods in the RWBY universe, and if you're thinking "well most of the world doesn't know about them because they don't know the origins of Salem and all that" you're actually wrong. The story of the Two Brothers is a well known fairy tale in Remnant, to the point where we've heard at least one character (I think it was Clover towards the end of Volume 7) use "Brothers" as an expletive like saying "God"
