2-So you're saying, he was fully aware of how crazy, creepy and obsessive he was acting towards Blake back then? That he was aware that he was beating her up and guilt-tripping her while calling her sweet names? That only makes things worse.

If he ever thought that what he was doing was wrong, he would've stopped. He did not. He did not seem angry either, so it cannot be excused as "blind rage" either and even then, trying to excuse all that as "blind rage" is dumb. All he did, all he said, cannot be justified with "he was angry".

3-I never said rapist.....

4-It sure does. Most males are of questionable sympathy. Ozpin trains child soldiers for a war. Ironwood treats everything like a dick-measuring contest ("I have 2 seats in the Council :p"). Jaune has multiple reasons to get hate. Neptune is hardly faithful. Port flirted a bit with a student. Papa Schnee in general. Whitley gives vibes of a smug snake. Sun left his team to get to Vale sooner (and probably did it again if the V4OP is to be believed). And so on.'''

The only guys (that we actually know anything about) that are honestly, fully sympathetic, are Ren, Oobleck, and Taiyang.

5-....Those are the slight references I meant earlier. Note: They do not affect nor determine the plot (except maybe Cardin, to be honest). They are just references. Which means, Weiss doesn't have a stepmother that will try to kill her, Jaune won't be burned in the stake, Nora won't die fighting a giant snake, and so on.

Though one could make a case for Pyrrha, although since her death was planned from the beginning, I think they chose her allusion based on that, and not the other way around.

6-.....Did you know he's implied to be at least 80 years old? 1) Don't worry about it. I'm likely the oldest manchild here. I'll never stop watching/playing action cartoons and RPGs.

2) I think you see Adam like the quiet insane. Not the whooping yelling laughing insane as Tyrian or Joker are. I see Adam as a person who on the outside is a sauve well dressed samurai, but on the inside has become a monster. He's cruel and driven by blind rage and hate. Anyone who crosses him as to be delt with. He's fallen into do this so easily likely because it's a defensive move to try and "cleanse" himself of caring. Like he's punishing her for making him care too much. I'm not 100% sure, but when he tried to cut Blake's head, maybe he knew it was a fake and just wanted to banish it to find the real one. But maybe not. If they flat out say he's as psycho as Torchwick was a sociopath then, I concede.

3) I meant statutory rapist.

4) Peter Port wasn't really flirting with the students. I think he was trying to seem like a cool teacher. Remember he thinks he's all that. Ozpin is preparing the students for the harsh word so he's fine too. I didn't want to see it that way, but Ironwood may be a bit bone-headed and macho. He does have a habit of thinking might is all your need. You're right about Oobleck, Ren and Tai. Though I have a bad feeling like one of the reasons Raven left might be something bad Tai did. Maybe he cheated on her with Summer. Oobleck is almost an innocent child. All he care about is learning. Sun is like the wind, he never can be relied on to stick around and do real responsible work. I wouldn't be surprised if he has bad grades.

6) Didn't know about Oz's age. The thing that seems the most enigmatic about Oz was the World of Remnant vid where they end it with his silohette and say "...more than just a man." It it implies all other hunters are more than mere men and women and somehow that's all Oz is. But if you take into account how each vid each with a hint or wink at something more omenous it gets more telling. Maybe his all white silohette implies he's "more than just a man" and he's got some aura that's draining his fighting ability. Like all his aura is constantly used to maintain his longevity. So he can out live most and teach new generals. Maybe he's got powers that dwarf others but he has to hold back like Superman to keep from bringing ruin to Vale. I wish we could see the whole fight with Cinder. Did she really kill him or did he run and she left to go get the Dragon (for her plan I guess)?
