Talk:Cinder Fall/@comment-3391158-20171124214544/@comment-4010415-20171125020251

A pretty good reason that we prefer to get a view of the source is because people can misremember things or misinterpret things. Our brains are tricky like that.

The first example I can think of off the top of my head also has to do with Cinder. People were questioning how Cinder was able to pose as a student despite seeming to be an adult. Members of CRWBY had said that Cinder actually isn't too much older than the protagonists. But then, in an AfterBuzz interview, Monty joked about her moisturizing a lot and then jokingly said "Asians, man" in reference to the stereotype that Asians age incredibly gracefully. Next thing we knew, we had a lot of fans on here and elsewhere saying that Cinder looks young enough to pose as a student "because she's Asian and she moisturizes", when Monty had been joking and we had already been told she's not much older than the protagonists.

If we had not watched the AfterBuzz interview video in which Monty had said that, we wouldn't have had a frame of reference to know that he was only joking, and it would have been a bad move to edit Cinder's page to follow fans saying "Monty said it's because she's Asian and she moisturizes."
