User blog comment:Warmachine375/Where was Team CFVY when Velvet was being bullied by Cardin Winchester and his gang of bullies?/@comment-9464517-20150527154232/@comment-26018514-20150527160648

It's not that bad with what we know tbh... her style is kicks and flips... you can't pull off a flip if your ears are held like that, and if her skills are superior she could have got in trouble retaliating, which likewise can explain why she never told the others. Most importantly, we never saw it happen again, so it can be excused as idiot underclassmen who now know better, either because they were disciplined... or destroyed by someone other than Pyrrha.

It was ill-advised, but ultimately it is never the worst thing you can do to interact with your fandom, and at least Monty was able to work on the first CFVY action.
