Call it an obsession but ever since that episode in Volume 3 where Yang "broke" Mercury's leg under Emerald's semblance and became demonised in the minds of the entire stadium except her friends, I've always wondered when she (in Volume 4 onwards) would face any recurring persecution from any civillians she comes across.

One person she comes across might go "I know you! Yeah, we all saw what you did to that poor guy! You should've been dead when the White Fang attacked Beacon!"

Would there be any hope of clearing Yang's name? But even if it were possible, are the people so mindlessly hooked on drama over evidence that they won't see reason and if they did realise how they were duped, should they be forgiven for contributing to making Yang's life a living hell with the malice they showered her with or should they be left to suffer with their misery and remorse?

And maybe bring to attention this question for the rest of the hunters, is Remnant worth saving even though it is filled with petty, malicious and selfish people? Is man (and faunus)kind better off extinct at the hands (or should I say claws) of the Grimm?
