I won't take into account her seemingly harmful interaction with Weiss (it's the same treatment everyone gives her 'Ice Queen' 'Friends, sisters, Weiss'), because it can just be their social norm. Again, I must stress that the way I interact with one of my best friends is to call out on his legendary bad luck, just as he calls out on my legendary lack of girlfriends since I was born. If we go to the exact wording you might even thinking we're trying to kill each other with words, but I assure you it's not. Well, the problem with that argument is that it's thingness was already extant in The Stray before the whole White Fang debate started. Though it only involved Ruby in Best Day Ever, its thingness could not be said to have applied only to Ruby and Weiss as a result. Now with Welcome to Beacon we cannot even limit its thingness to Team RWBY as Jaune went all "Ice Queen" on her. A person could suggest its thingness would also extend to Jaune and the rest of JNPR given their general closeness and Weiss was being terse with him anyway albeit for his persistent efforts to woo her. However, Sun shows up and calls her "Ice Queen" without any provocation. One can hardly argue that its thingness has extended to Sun in just two weeks as a sign of comraderie. Even if Sun's participation in its thingness is a result of the bandwagon effect rather than some personal joining of the thingness, there is no reason to believe Weiss is now fine with the thing expanding outside their close-knit group to anyone recently affiliated with them.

Her lack of consent to its thingness can no longer be dismissed. This is a thing they have likely imposed upon her without her permission implied or otherwise. It is also a thing that has been a thing in three separate episodes. The thingness of this thing is significant. Mark my words, its thingness will be established as not being per her tacit agreement and more her acquiesence due to the futility of opposing its thingness since any resistance is liable to be cited in defense of increasing the occurrence of the thing. She most likely exhausted her resistance to its thingness some time ago due to this realization of the thing's nature and this thing will turn into a very cruel thing at some point.
