Controversial opinion, but I personally don't need rwby to be picked up by another studio.
That fandom has been so annoying about stuff and the dc x rwby fandom (an entirely different fandom), aside from their inability to tag things correctly, they also don't understand Jessica Cruz's character at all and tend to whitewash and infantilize her.
I am not saying that every person is guilty of white washing and stuff, but I need people to interact with source materials before creating fan stuff to get at least a feeling of what a character would and wouldn't say/do and not get mad when others who actually do interact with the source materials tell them: hey, this person would not fucking say that or look like that.
In the rwby x dc crossover comic, Jess looked more like herself, the coloring wasn't perfect, but it's still clear she is a person of color. So not like the movie where she looks like A) a kid B) white C) a ben 10 oc.
So before people are going to come at me in the notes, I am going to show some images of three different media, the first image is what she looked like in the crossover movie. The second is from the crossover comic.
And the third & fourth is what she looks like in the comics. There's a big fucking difference between 1 and 2,3,4
Like I adore her as a character since I also deal with anxiety and depression, but while watching the crossover I was like: 'who the hell is that, that ain't Jess. That's a whole different character/white Ben 10 oc'.
She is an adult woman of color who became a gl and overcame her anxiety and trauma in the comics after it. So, to infantilize her +reduce her to one singular trait, is really disrespectful and, for me, it leans into racism territories tbh.
