Maybe not the same level, but the shock would still be there. People in the RWBYverse have had to do hard things to survive, and it's desensitized them. But it hasn't made them into walls of stone. A significantly terrible or eye-opening event could really change things.

I feel like some characters (I get the feeling, Blake) will see how bad this is and be quite vocal about it. This may even be the driving force behing a "Society realizes how bad things have gotten and starts trying to fix it" plot arc.
