Really, had she been more mature, she would have realized that she really had no rights to her unjust accusations. Yes she is young, yes it was a defensive reaction (good god only those who suffered from it will understand exactly how destructive overly defensive reactions can be to one's social abilities), but she honestly should have been more mature. Wait. Stop. There. Right there. You just answered your own question and…before I say anything else I just want to say I swear to god I’m not signaling you out, heck I wasn’t even aware you and I disagreed a lot until you pointed it out to me and I apologies if I ever offended you. I want to have discussions, not arguments, but the 2 tend to be separated by a very thin wall i try and sometimes fail not to break…anywho

Mature. I think we really need to understand that Blake, like virtually everyone from the main cast has not matured yet, but instead are in the process of maturing. Keep in mind Blake also did not have the most…balanced childhood and, in some ways, she is less mentally mature then everyone else of the main cast, but I will signal Jaune out of all of them for now.

Remember when Jaune Arc was being a jerk, or a Jark if you prefer, due to his inadequacies? Remember how hypocritical he was being without him realizing it, and once the realization set in he apoligiesed immediately? Currently, Blake feels like she has done her part and is in a state where she feels that the small things, such as her identity and Velvet, don’t matter in the long run. She wants results and she wants them to be BIG, and with that mindset, she doesn’t realize that quite often, it’s the small things that count the most, and honestly that’s not likely to change any time soon, unless she gets to talk to someone willing to give her a verbal smack down.

I guess what I’m trying to say it, how do you think she will react if someone points out her hypocrisy? Would she react like Jaune (“I’m sorry”), or would she react like that dudes from Code Geas (“I’m not here to discuss who the bigger hypocrite is”). I believe her reaction would be in the former, and as such, I won’t hold her apathy against her, for now.
