Gory Discretion Shot is a thing.

Also, as a reminder, Adam stomped on someone's neck so hard it cracked quite audibly. Gore can be more than visual.

Roman was eaten on-screen, Blake was stabbed through the stomach, and Yang had her arm chopped off.

Also yeah, Adam broke someone's neck by curb-stomping them.

[up][up][up]Maybe a little bit, a few lost limbs and some noticeable deep scars would be enough...for visually.

[up]x2 Being eaten alive isn't exactly graphic when you're swallowed whole, plus Blake and Yang's injuries weren't very gory (Yang's in particular was super stylized).

The show has never really gone beyond a mid-PG. It's relatively family-friendly.

"CFVY (pronounced "Coffee") is a second-year team of students from Beacon Academy."

Thanks for the response, but can I ask who you're quoting as I don't know where that comes from.

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.

Plus Roman was evil, was beating up a 15 year old and was in the process of telling her how he didn't care if everyone in Vale was killed by Grimm because the only thing that mattered to him was keeping himself alive no matter what terrible things he had to do to others.

It would be significantly different if it was some helpless townperson that got nommed instead.

Plus a bloodless swallowing only works with the bigger Grimm who are already mostly shown as dangerous as it is. Beowulves and Ursas, the Grimm people suggest should be made more meanacing, aren't really scaled to do that.

[up][up]Cool. Thanks very much.

Ooh, that chat confirms the CCT = Beacon Tower thing. I knew that had been confirmed somewhere, but didn't know where.

Also I just remembered:

When Velvet first shows up again in Volume 2 and talks to team RWBY she says "You first years". YOU. If she wasn't a second year or higher, she wouldn't have said that [lol]

Apparently that team being 2nd years was in question.

It never seemed that important...until now.

I have never once in my life seen an upperclassmen take crap from a first-year.

But I guess these things happen.

[up]When your personality can be described as "Adorkable doormat" it can. Hell, iirc, they mention that Velvet doesn't really stand up for herself.

Plus: Cardin is much bigger than her.

[up][up]If they're the nerdy or meek type, it could happen...

It's not likely, I got "bullied" by some 4th graders once...in 7th grade.

Rare examples.

Upperclassmen being bullied by underclassmen...well, that's something not even theoretically possible where I came from, where meek upperclassmen are just ignored (and backtalked) by underclassmen.

So when I saw Cardin bullying Velvet in front of everyone, it had more of effect of making her look really pathetic. [lol]

Ok, let see:

About Grimm: let fae it, the grim arent threating because the show was never about that, it talk about it but the focus was the 4 cute girls kciking butt(yeah, not ass, butt) it was going to happen, is the dissonace between backstory and story focus, or like I call it, the "pokemon syndrome"(I call it like that because of much dark fic the show have)

"Faunus stink and deserve to be taken out as a group with the ease it takes to defeat one really tough Grimm. "

Now, before I will agree with you about it, but as my favorite chararter is a faunus and he maim the last fucker to try to cross him, I have to disagreetongue

" Adam broke someone's neck by curb-stomping them."

He did WHAT?....damn, he just getting cooler with each moment

Also, on Grimm:

The average Joe Schmo citizen is screwed if a Grimm gets to them. And with what we've been shown in RWBY, this is true.

Who gives a flying fuck about the average Joe? Is there any of the heroes a Joe Schmo? Not even Jaune and Blake is a Joe at this point. Hell, if any of the characters have someone they want to protect who is a joe, that might have been relevant but even that is not the case here.
