No no no. What I'm saying is, what if RWBY, the same character, the same show, just took place in Vacuo's Shade Academy instead of Beacon. Salem would have a harder time trying to turn people against each other. Because there, people are more open minded and more willing to heard each other out despite differences in culture or race. Salem wants everyone at each other's throats so they're too weak while divided to take her bitch-ass down. She's the "twist" as the ex-soldier character put it in the movie Devil (group of bad people stuck in an elevator together and can't tell who's killing them).

@Someone: A key failing of the show is it's little kiddy direction early on. They didn't want to go dark. So of course they also didn't want to get too political and so they stayed PC. If it was up to me, I'd have shown riots, Faunus getting murdered in the streets. People getting dragged out of their homes for being suspected as WF members. But what can you do? They had to have it start out light-hearted for their own reasons. Maybe now that we clenched this 3rd Season and it seems dark plot points will be more frequent, then maybe we'll see more discrimination.

I do not think this is one of those "you're opressing yourself" type deals. People have said that to every minority EVER. I really don't want to find out the WF are the cause of the hatred the fight against. Are the WF wrong, yes. But is discrimination a very real problem, hell yeah. If the WF, Adam and Sienna all turn out corrupt, then that's a wrap for most of the Faunus POVs. Who else do we have to rep Faunus if all the villains are open-shut cases? Blake, cool but forever isolating herself and almost devoid of humor? Sun, cool but too much humor that he add nothing to serious plot points.

HARK RWBY WRITERS! MAKE MORE COOL FAUNUS! AND NO I DON'T MEAN CUTE ONES!
