"RWBY is Disappointing, and Here's Why" is now up for Patrons! (Patreon)

EDIT 19/07/2020: - I've made quite a few changes to this video, including completely rewriting a few parts and adding some more stuff. I really appreciate the feedback I've been given so far, to the point I'm annoyed people are still going to be seeing this version for a while until the new one goes up. Thanks so much for helping me out with all your notes and criticism!
While I wait for final approval from some lawyers and get the animation finished, I've replaced the video with an improved draft. Apparently it's five minutes longer? I didn't even realise, lol.
END EDIT
It's working! It's working!!!!!
After multiple rounds of re-edits, working with a lawyer to make sure the video is safely within the territory of fair use, and making some interesting discoveries about the depths of YouTube's Content ID system, we have a version of the RWBY video which actually works on YouTube!
One minor thing - since we decided to expand on some of the animated sequences while I tried to get this sorted out, and I wanted a version up for patrons as soon as it became possible, two of the video's animation segments are still not totally finished. One is 2ish minutes in and the other's around 20 minutes in. They're marked as WIP for now. I'd rather get this posted as soon as possible than keep you waiting any longer!
Thanks to all of you for being so patient about this. Ideally I wanted this to be up well over a week ago, and I've had a really frustrating sleepless couple of days trying to get it all working, but knowing that it actually works now is a huge relief.
I'm going to keep working on it for the next few days for the public release, so if you have any feedback, let me know!
