Additionally, knowing who the headmaster of  Haven is, that sorts of explain why Grimm kinda ran rampant.

It may also explain the seedy side of Mistral as well. If Leo is being passive with how he operates his entire academy, that may leak into the general attitute of the Huntsmen from Mistral with regards to most of the shit happening all around them. I mean, if the Kingdom is safe, eh, what's the problem? :V

In fact, I think that's humanity's problem in Remnant. Most are either apathetic or passive. Hell, even Oz is and he's been doing that far longer than since RWBY began.

If the problem is passiveness then they need to make a point of letting us know. From my POV it seems like when an area falls to Grimm, they just give up on it and build somewhere else or hide in crowded cities wishing someone else would solve the problem. If they're doing an Attack of the Titans thing like that, make it clear. And if Leo is the base problem here and he wants the Grimm to run wild elsewhere as long as he's safe surrounded by his forces, because he's the cowardly lion, then again EXPLAIN that. We can assume and speculate, but the burden falls on the writers to make these themes and symbolism and aspects of the tale clear. Anyone can write a story or draw a picture full of stuff and then say "Oh it's all left up to interpretation. Use your imagination." Yes, we can interpret. But WHAT DID YOU ACTUALLY MEAN? Don't use the fans' coming up with answers as a get outta jail free card. Don't assume we're such huge fan we don't DARE question your lore. Because being a big fan MAKES me question EVERYTHING I LIKE. I can like something and still call it on it's shit. Oz, case and point.
