1) Atlas does not run on Faunus slavery. Where the fuck did you get that? The closest thing there is to Faunus Slavery is the SDC's treatment of their Faunus employees. Which we have never seen, only heard, all of it from an ex-WF member.

And the SDC, as much as it might do business with the government, is not the government itself and has no authority over it, something Ironwood made clear in Vol.4.

2) The girls who "snickered at the deaths of Ilia's parents", they were just asshole teenagers. Have you even gone to school at some point in your life? They're filled with assholes and jerks who look down on others and/or think they're always right. They're teenagers, and teenagers are idiots.

3) If people see Weiss as a "maniac", she brought it on herself, after yelling at the guests at the charity party for (from their perspective) no reason at all and out of nowhere, and then almost commiting manslaughter.

Imagine if you were at a party somewhere, suddenly yelled at the guests, then almost killed one by accident. Obviously, people wouldn't see you in a good light anytime soon after that.

4) Atlas should be saved for 2 simple reasons: First of all, it's not even half as bad as you believe, most of the shit you mention wasn't even implied.

Second of all, it's the most technologically advanced Kingdom on the planet and hosts one of the biggest Dust-working companies on the planet. Everyone uses Dust, and Atlas sells their own tech to others (Atlesian Knights and Paladins), not to mention it was Atlas who made the CCTs.

Atlas falling would be as catastrophic to Remnant on an economic level, as China or the US falling would be to nearly every nation on Earth. Arguably even worse since Vale is still recovering and Mistral's number of Huntsmen just took a dive, so they would have a much harder time recovering and adapting to the huge change it would bring.
