I'm curious as to why people are presuming that Blake's backstory is inherently more tragic than Weiss's before we even get deeper into either of their's, and somehow Weiss is a "bitch" for disliking the White Fang. Blake has people like her that can relate to her, and they can band together (like the White Fang).

Weiss doesn't seem to have that, as it's mentioned that she's "lonely." For all we know, her parents could be abusive; I think that she said that her father was always angry when he returned home, and people are speculating that he is/was abusive towards her. I've seen people on tumblr saying things like "Having abusive parents is nothing like what Blake has been through," but I think it might be wrong depending on how RT decides to play it.
