Afterwards, Raven leaves in tears(?) and goes to do more soul-searching. That's exactly it. Yes, I'd hate Raven as a person, especially if I were in Raven's shoes, but as a character, she is one of RWBY's strongest plot devices. (Did you know that at the end of the day, literally every character in any story is a plot device? Harry Potter? Thanos? They are plot devices. Some are complex, some are simple, but that's what they are in terms of a story.)

And Raven shouldn't be done affecting the story just because you don't like her as a person. Yes, she is stubborn, but that does not mean she should be cast aside when her road to redemption (entirely possible so long as people break her of her stubbornness) could also lead to further, unrelated developments in the story. As the person this comment is a reply to said, they could use Raven to delve into lore on Team STRQ or really any other lore considering Ozpin trusted her with secrets.
