Progressive
Primary
The series consistently champions themes of anti-discrimination and social justice through its portrayal of the Faunus rights movement, while also critiquing established authority and emphasizing unity against systemic division, aligning with progressive values.
The animated series RWBY features a visibly diverse cast of original characters, without engaging in race or gender swaps of traditional roles. Its narrative prominently explores themes of prejudice and discrimination through the allegorical conflict surrounding the Faunus, making DEI themes central to its storytelling.
Secondary
RWBY features multiple LGBTQ+ characters, most notably the central romantic relationship between Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long, which is depicted as a source of strength and affirmation. Other queer characters, such as Ilia Amitola and May Marigold, are also portrayed with dignity and respect, contributing to a consistently positive and validating representation within the narrative.
RWBY features May Marigold, a transgender character portrayed positively as a competent and brave member of the Happy Huntresses. Her backstory highlights finding acceptance and chosen family after facing external prejudice, affirming the worth of her identity. The series depicts her with dignity and agency, without her identity being a source of ridicule or villainy.
The show frequently portrays female characters achieving victory in direct physical combat against male opponents. Examples include Yang Xiao Long's tournament win against Mercury Black, Pyrrha Nikos's dominant performance against a team of male students, and Neo Politan's swift defeat of Roman Torchwick.
RWBY is an original animated series that introduced all its characters for the first time. There are no pre-existing source materials, prior installments, or historical figures from which character genders could have been swapped.
RWBY is an original animated series created by Rooster Teeth, not an adaptation of pre-existing material. The characters' races are established within the show itself, meaning there is no prior canon from which a race swap could occur.
