I get that he was trying, but that argument doesn't float either

The Devil&#039;s Advocate WP wrote: Honestly, these responses just reinforce the problem. Blake turning away from a loving family and acting spoiled with them is rationalized as "Oh, she was abused because of one comment she made once about feeling small" rather than because she spent her entire life committed to a political cause and yet a whole pattern of conduct mentioned and shown from Jacques doesn't seem to get Weiss much consideration at all.

They didn't really sell that Blake was abused and they certainly didn't sell it by Adam's actions after they ended up on opposite sides of a battle. Maybe the problem here is the fact one is familial abuse and the other is potentially partner abuse... Not a single person has disputed Jacques being an abusive asshat, it was Blake's abuse that was questioned, there are people who said Jacques has certain rights to abuse Weiss(as he is her father she couldn't just leave for years) beyond Adam's having no rights to do so as he is at best just a leader of a movement, because Jacques abuse is much harder to prove.
