From Weinberg-Witten theorem, people say that the graviton (which has spin 2) can not be composite. But it seems that graviton can still be composite particle by combining spin-3/2 particles. Is there any reason why this is not possible?

The Weinberg-Witten theorem is used to deduce that the graviton is not composite using the fact that it has spin 2, not the other way around.
