She was outright attempting to manipulate Yang to her side and say "Come with me.  There's no point in palling with Ozpin.  It's not worth your time.", and honestly, Raven gave even less info than Ozpin, and is FAR less reliable. I honestly think you just want to play Devil's Advocate with Ozpin and see Raven as some sort of freethinker and justified rebel. She's not ANY of those things. She's a dirty coward who hides behind a contradictory Social Darwinist ideology, she's a manipulative parent who only cares about her daughter as long as said daughter follows her wishes, and finally, she's a wannabe wild card who delusionally believes that she can get all the factions off her back. Ozpin, despite his failures and chessmaster tendencies, is far more benign and competent. No, I just think Ozpin is a piece of shit of a human being and the physical manifestation of failure/death of innocents. Because the last time he did fuck-all was 80 years ago, and even that was weak considering he had the entire planet and all 4 relics on his side and couldn't beat Salem. Ozpin is a flawed human being who has had time to make as many mistakes as at least 1000 others due to his reincarnation cycle, but that doesn't make him a piece of shit human being. Raven is not a better alternative, overestimating her own capabilities and deluding herself into believing she can run away. Ozpin has no illusions regarding his own fallibility or the mistakes he's made, and he's WAY better than her. Also, the reason I'm optimistic about his chances this time is because he's been reincarnated into the body of a teenager, an equal to Team RWRNJ, and they are already beginning to question his decisions and possibly inject their own ideas into the mix, improving Ozpin's plans in the process.
