Hi Mrs Duquette, I just saw your post from last week and I know that many people already send you many messages, but it was important for me to let you know that you have all my support and that I only hope the best for you 🙏

My question might be unvolontarily intrusive so feel free to simply ignore it. Personnaly I'm a very recent RWBY fan, I started to watch the series only two years ago and it became one of my ultimate favorites. But knowing that your experience with RT and other people working on RWBY affected your life so deeply makes me feel uncomfortable toward my appreciation of the show. I'm not asking or expecting you to reveal anything, because it is your own story and it is your choice to do that or not and when. I just want to know how do you feel about people still watching and enjoying the show despite everything that happened ?

I like how thoughtful this question is, so it's taken me a bit to figure out the best way to answer.

I was lucky enough to have been inspired by Monty to pursue the arts, and to take away the possibility of other up-and-coming creatives to feel the same inspiration through his animation sat very wrong with me, regardless of how I felt.

From my perspective, there are two types of fans. There are the viewers who are fans of RWBY, and there are the viewers who are fans of Monty. He put himself into his work and it shows.
