The problem she's been taught better than this at Beacon, so she can't say she's never known anything else besides "survival of the fittest." And if she does then it wouldn't be the first lie she's spoken. She's lived better than that, regardless of whether she admits it or not, so she'll be the one who gets it the most for betraying everything she was taught as a Huntress. I just don't understand how you can suggest everything she experienced outside the tribe didn't change her, it's not like she lived under a rock the whole time. And it's not an assumption that she would have to change in order to make it in Beacon, it's a fact. As I told SYUTK, not changing was not an option.

As for population growth, that's only if they even do, for all we know they could "recruit" new members from villages they ransack, if they hate weakness as much as I think they do then they wouldn't have time for "nonsense" like child bearing and raising, survival is all that counts. But we'll see. She wasn't taught better at Beacon, she was taught '''differently. '''The fact that Raven sticks to this policy indicates that she doesn't view their ways as the best. And I don't understand how you can't see that she's had almost twenty fucking years to act on any changes the outside world would have inflicted on her. If she was going to, she would have by now.

And no, she really wouldn't have to change to be at Beacon, she'd just have to not be a fucking idiot. She and the rest of the tribe wouldn't kill unless the put up a fight, because that's what any group led by anyone with a fucking brain between their ears would do. So since she's not having to pillage for things, she's not going to. It's not that complicated.

There's a difference between hating weakness and being fucking stupid. What, do you think they just take any babies born to tribe members and toss them off a cliff or something? That's not hating weakness, that's psychopathy and an unsustainable mindset. The tribe wouldn't last more than a decade thinking like that. And why the fuck would you recruit people who have every reason to run off or try to kill you the first chance they get?
