** Jaune Arc. Early on, fans assumed he was a self-insert for Creator/MilesLuna. Even after the show began to tone back on his screentime and relevance to the plot, some feel that his character arc in the Mistral seasons was just used as a cheap way to milk Pyrrha's death for emotional reactions from the fandom and that time spent on his character could be better spent on more important characters like [[TheHero Ruby]] or [[BrokenAce Pyrrha]]. As the years have gone on however, Jaune has earned a loyal contingent of fans who like him specifically for being a deconstruction of the typical self-insert shonen protagonist and enjoy his dynamic with Ruby, Ren and Nora.

* TheInverseLawOfFandomLevity: ''RWBY'' is a fantastical show that carries a lingering air of optimism, but a large section of the fanbase seems to focus in on the [[AllIssuesArePoliticalIssues sociopolitical aspect]] of it. While such topics are given a fair amount of focus in Volumes 5, 7, and 8, the rest of the show mostly devotes itself to high-octane action and encouraging morals, but the sociopolitical underbelly influences a large amount of fan discussion, especially concerning the ideologies of individual characters such as General Ironwood.

** Volume 7 & 8's portrayal of [[Characters/RWBYJamesIronwood James Ironwood]], such as his actions [[SanitySlippage deteriorating into madness]] and [[FallenHero making him just as much of a villain]] as Salem (as seen in Mantle's lockdown) is divisive. Some fans view it as the [[ByronicHero natural end of his arc]] -- sentiments [[WordOfGod backed up by Miles]]. Others say that his arc's direction is overly rushed at best or flat out character assassination at worst. The fandom is divided further on whether the [[PoorCommunicationKills heroes who deceive and sabotage him]], or his vaguely-defined Semblance, share any blame or if this was caused by Ironwood's {{Fatal Flaw}}s alone.

** Jaune Arc and Velvet Scarlatina are a surprisingly popular ship even though both characters have never interacted. A common reason given is both were bullied by Cardin, and thus a common scenario is Jaune helping Velvet deal with Cardin in some way, leading her to develop a crush on him.
