Every single time they write about Ruby's love life, Yang always acts as a mini-boss for her love interest who has to gain her blessing. The reasoning is that the fiery blonde party animal Yang knows about the real world and that people are out there to hurt you and her baby sister is in danger so she must look out for her.

That's incredibly far from the reality. Yang is not the overprotective type of sis. No, she's the supportive type instead. After all, Barbara did say that Yang is the kind of person who teaches someone how to swim by pushing them into the water. She didn't stay next to Ruby during the whole initiation, instead, she left her on her own to make some friends by herself which lead to Jaune. She wanted Ruby to be one her own team to learn to work with other people rather than depending on her. Instead of keeping her sister away from possible threats, she pushes her into new experiences to learn from. If anything, Ruby is the type of sis who relies to much on her family to do everything rather than facing the issues on her own, something that she initially was but eventually grew out of this flaw of hers.

Exactly! Her outward persona is so disparate from the actual character her actions present that its like half the fandom has blindfolds on when watching her. She has layers.
