I think she'd argue that fighting actual oppressors would be justifiable, but that their current methods aren't actually working towards any goal, they're just spreading more hate and distrust.

I do think she'd be mopey for a while, but hopefully that happens off-screen. I think we'll have enough of that from Yang's storyline. Creating a counter group (Black Fang? lol) or recruiting from within the WF to create a splinter group, either works, I think. -The thing is, everyone knows that the White Fang by now are nothing but misguided terrorist, and the people that join them are aware of what they would be doing, regardless of reasons. My point was that why would anyone join them if they would hate and complain about everything they're doing?

-NO, NO NO NO. I don't want any "happens off-screen" shit, RWBY's already had enough crap happening off-screen. The Faunus discrimination, Weiss's acceptance of Blake back in Vol.1, Blake becoming "obsessed" after No Brakes, the Grimm (actually) wrecking Vale in Breach nearly all the fights in the Festival, among others. These have all been negatively affected one way or another because they happen or develop off-screen.

Cough Rant over. Now, it wouldn't be the same kind of mopey. Yang's is depression and apathy, Blake's is guilt and self-deprecation.
