When I saw that bar scene with Qrow and Raven it said it all to me. Raven may not be sadistic when she kills other helpless families on the wilderness. But to me I think it's a least a little hypocritical to want her family to be safe (her tribe) yet go around doing actions that welcome readily make people hate and attack her family (tribe). She would be mad if someone attacked them. But doesn't she see that no one would come after them if she didn't continue her tribe's ways of stealing and killing? And she can't say she's not killed for her cause because no one in the middle of Grimm-ville is gonna give up what little food and supplies they have to random bandits without a fight.

I know it's fashionable to be cynical and consider cool to be mean and selfish. But let's call Raven what she is. She's a problem child. The world has countless problems and instead of trying to lessen those people she's adding to it. Even if only caring about her own tribe is okay, when bring more heat down on the tribe by constantly stealing all year long? At some point wouldn't it make sense to, I don't know, turn a trade and EARN money and supplies? They're obviously good hunters and fighters. There's work for those skills. Especially if they defend caravans or towns. But no, instead anytime someone calls Raven wrong for what she's doing no one ever asks why her fribe hasn't found a better way after all these years.
