Sorry to Nekro a thread, but seeing as one already existed, I didn't think I should start another one. Anyways, there are a few historical inconsistencies when it comes to the White Fang. The most notable is, of course, that Weiss said the White Fang had been attacking the SDC and associates for as long as she could remember, which could conceivably be as early as two years old, or fifteen years ago. Of course, Blake claims that they only turned violent five years ago, but Weiss' immediate association of the attacks with the White Fang suggests that they had some reputation well beforehand, and, while Weiss' statement is open-ended enough to include faunas in general, it does seem to specifically implicate the White Fang as being behind the attack.

There is also a less noticable temporal hiccup here: when Blake was telling Sun about her history with the White Fang, it is implied she left shortly after the leadership change. However, when we see her in the Black trailer, she is likely not younger than fifteen, suggesting she stayed with them for at least another three years. Now, even if she was ok with attacks and even killing aggressively anti-faunas individuals, she clearly was not willing to attack workers and other people who were not actively working against the faunas. However, it was fairly obvious that people besides the main target's of the White Fang were getting hurt early on, and that she participated in some of the attacks, at least if her combat skills are any indicator, so why didn't she leave until the train incident?
