Welcome to the Wiki!

It's great to see new people join the crew, especially those like yourself. I mean, introducing yourself with a page of well thought out, intelligent speculation? Well done; I like it.

Now, on to the Weiss discussion!

I'll have to agree with DA on one thing - context does matter. It makes Weiss's actions more... forgivable. Prejudice is still not right, but looking at it from her POV, you can see why she feels the way she feels.

A big part of my strategy in arguments is to get others to understand why I feel the way I do, because understanding allows people to step into your shoes. We may still disagree, but we can both understand each other's reasons and respect that.

That's how I see Weiss. I'll never agree with her prejudiced views, however, I understand why she holds them and can respect the reasons she uses in support - because, honestly, they're damn good reasons. If I went through what she did as a child, I know I'd feel the same way she does, and I can forgive her because of that. Granted, I'm not an oppressed Faunus child, but still.

That being said, It remains an area for improvement. Of course I'd love to see Weiss develop and become more accepting.

However, Monty said that they we're trying to do too much, and that tons of stuff they planned for Volume Two is getting pushed back into Season Two. (A Season is two Volumes, don't know if you know). Assuming any SDC plot was going to take up the later half of Season Two, it's going to be at least a year before we see it - and that's if they even had any plans to do that yet.

So I wouldn't look forward to it, unfortunately.
