Yeah, I never saw Salem as a retcon. Her lines at the end of volume 3 were a continuation of the intro to volume 1, so her appearence was the reveal of the mastermind behind the evil plots. As for the Cinder retcon I mentioned, I get that it's minor change, just a shift from primary dust use in her clothing to it being a cover for her Maiden power, but it still was a retcon, and one that has had a major role in recent volumes. Something Ruby being Qrow's daughter might seem simple and and unnessary change, but if used in the right way it could have a huge impact on Ruby's character development, which is why I see it as a possible retcon.

Besides those points, I was hoping to keep this dissusion based only on facts presented by the characters in the show, not the crew. It was supposed to be a hypothetical based only on the volumes purely for fun. Sorry if this is just a nuisance instead.
