There’s a difference between a decent person (I’d argue most of the characters in the show are that) who does some nice things, and a man who sacrifices his free time and talents to helping other’s at the cost of himself, when he could easily take a different route. In a way, Pietro is like Weiss. Weiss choose to leave her luxerious hike in favor of helping people, just like how Pietro doesn’t bother with the snobbish elites of Atlas and instead dedicates himself to those that are seem as lesser in Atlaesian society. Claiming Pietro is ‘decent is like saying someone who gave you a free piece of candy equels someone who runs a charity in a dangerous warzone...Which given the fact the Grmm infiltrate Mantle rather often, its precisely what Pietro is doing. He’s risking his safety to help other’s.

Is this really the messege you wanna give people? That, unless you have a cool design, know how to swing a blade and steal the spotlight wherever you go, you otherwise don’t count?

As for Emerald, while it can come across that away, I don’t think Tibet’s meant to be racist. Cinder is a bitch and she’d kill or beat anyone. Emerald being a woman of color was merely a coincedence, as I don’t think her treatment would be any better if she had been white. That being said, the show makes it clear that it isn’t a good thing. Its sad and disturbing and even though I don’t like Emerald on the account of her actions, I can still sympathize with her. Showing had things isn’t the same as glorifying them. We’re supposed to hate Cinder for what she’s doing and the show makes it clear we’re not supposed to approve of her actions.
