@Arkantos95

You didn't even get what I was talking about, right? In my comment I tried to gather everything we know about the current faunus' position.

The thing I actually tried to say is that just the existence of bullies like Cardin or biased people like Weiss couldn't push the faunus to such drastic measures. No one will take up arms just because of oral abuse or smth similar. It has no sense at all. Sun had told that he, alongside with other faunus, considers WF to be creepy jerks - but there is still enough faunus who attend the rallys, who join the WF, who fight and die on its side. They do it willingly - no one pushes them. There should be a reason for it.

>  and as a result made the WF seem like a bunch of psychopaths led by some angsty twat who was more concerned with getting back at his ex than his "revolution".

WF isn't just Adam - don't you get it? And I hardly believe that it's just a "bunch of psychopaths" - what the hell do you mean by that? Well, I guess it's really easier to make some diagnosis than to analyze, ok then.

>  We know almost literally nothing about that war or the history behind it.

Wrong. We know about the Faunus Rights Revolution and about the human's attempt to transport faunus to Menagerie and to confine them there. Kind of ghetto, in fact.

>  A protest that was disrupted  by the White Fang's actions. Given the fact that this broadcast was in Vale, it's even reasonable to assume that Adam and his crew were responsible.

A protest. People - or faunus - will not protest if they have no reasons. Some serious reasons - and not just the fact that they are called "animals". Blake herself told that the peaceful protest hadn't worked at all.



>  Not using faunus labor would be discriminatory. The fact that Papa Schnee probably isn't cutting them a fair deal, however, I'm willing to give you.

There is no necessity to say the obvious things, you know? I am sure that the current faunus' position has nothing in common with normal labor rights. In fact, I'm sure that their position is somewhere between cheap labor and slaves. It varies from region to region (probably better in Vacuo and worse in Atlas) - but the essence still the same.

>  Irrelevant. One's an equal oppurtunity bully who saw and exploited the weakness that was Velvet's faunus heritage, the other has very legitimate reasons not to trust faunus.

What does your "irrelevant" mean? It was in the show? Yes, it was. I mentioned it. This still isn't the message I try to convey.

> Some humans also live outside the kingdoms.

Generic idea. Just one actual name or no.

>  No shit. Thank you for literally spelling out what Roman said.

 You are welcome. If you can't get what Roman was talking about I have nothing to help you.

> The examples you're listing here are White Fang members and recruits, not average civilian faunus. Also, nobody reacted to Adam's "Bring them to their knees!" line, they were all too busy running into the battle they'd already agreed to join.

Gosh: those who attended the rally yesterday were jus average civilian faunus the day before. And they are doing to become WF members tomorrow - is it so hard to get? Despite the fact that WF is treated like terrorists (and the really are), faunus continue entering the WF. Ordinary faunus. Civilians.

Rewatch this moments. Some WF members smile and made fists - they wanted to run the battle. Not because every last of them was born as a violent psycho - but because humanity made them what they are.

You just don't think straight. You see WF as the bad guys - and yes, they are. But if they were just "a brunch of psychopaths" led by yandere-Adam, their existence would come to an end really quickly - Remnant had to be run of psycho-faunus very soon. But they still have an injection of "new blood", and that's just because the inner faunus' protest has a tangible fuel for the grudge.

Yes, up to the end of the 3d Volume we hadn't seen anything in fact. We had Ozpin who is quite tolerable towards faunus, other characters shared this view too. But I'm sure we literally have seen nothing yet. As soon as we'll see Atlas (in the storyline of Weiss, I guess), you'll get what I was talking about. For now, your point of view is way too plain and simple. Like: "They are the "punching bags" for the RWBY team and other good guys? Ok, so they are assholes, got it."
