@KingRolphMativo Agreed with pretty much everyone else. She was never supposed to be a rebel or revolutionary. She was a bandit, a criminial and murderer by all means. And even then, while often romanticed in fiction, rebels and revolutionaries aren't all that great IRL. Rebel groups will often use terrorism and child soldiers as meat shields, and often have no trouble with civillian casualties. They're sometimes no better then the goverments they fight against. So even if Raven was a rebel or anything, it still wouldn't excuse her actions. Rather, she'd be more along the lines of Adam if anything else.

Speaking of the White Fang, they're a good example. They claim to be a force of revolution, yet in reality are a terrorist group that is cult-like in some ways and is made up out of zealots and extremenists that have no trouble murdering those who they claim to fight for if neccecery.

I honestly think this is more of a case of you having certain expspectations of Raven, similiar to how some people had ideas about Adam and were dissapointed when he didn't turn out what they'd hoped. When Qrow first mentioned Raven, he claimed that she had controversial ideologies he didn't agree with, and that she wasn't that great of a person. In volume 4, we saw her and it was revealed she was a bandit who killed innoscent people for a living and believed that the weak deserved to die. In volume 5, we (somewhat) saw that in practice. So...yeah, no idea were the idea of Raven being a freedom fighter or whatever come's from.

@Chis To be fair, the one about Blake isn't all that far off.
