The show has always been incomprehensibly retarded.
I initially thought that Cinder was a cute girl whose shtick is that he's pretending to be some kind of evil mastermind, while her friends are humoring her.
Her genuinely being supposed to be a villain was bonkers. It didn't fit the vibes that they built at all. In hindsight, they were marking her as a villain, but it was so badly done that I parsed it as parody.
But then, the vibes were mostly "Western artist clique pushes Reddit-style humor on top of Monty's work". There was no coherent plot direction, only off-key uncanney valley anime-like attempts at humor interspersed with a skeleton framework of ideas that Monty probably wrote up on a napkin on the expectation that they would be fleshed out.

It's completely impossible to make good RWBY fanfiction, because it would either need to be a recut or its own animated show. The bar is the Red trailer.
