While I think that Torchwick was aiming more to mindfuck Blake on the basis of him knowing how much shame she takes on the actions she committed rather than at wherever her team is willing to forgive her or not.

Under the Violent White Fang, Blake easily falls under the category of a child soldier, and, for a while I have had the feeling that Ozpin might be more concerned on the psychological issues Blake is bound to have as a result of it. I don't know how dark RT wants to make thing but the whole way Child Soldiers are recruited and indoctrinated to get them to kill can get to seriously fucked up levels. I don't think giving Blake a backstory where she killed people is too dark. How many little kids are taken to Marvel movies where you have all sorts of dark elements and dark backstories? The dark aspects are typically overshadowed by adrenaline-pumping action or light-hearted quips.

Since they both take place before the pilot, makes you wonder what Ruby was doing at either of those locations during that time. That makes me wonder. Ruby lives on Patch Island and that's where Signal Academy is located so why would she go all the way to Vale to visit a Dust shop? You would think a populated island hosting a major combat academy would have a Dust shop nearby.
