I didn't put this in but the explanation goes like this, his Step-Father and mentor figure is a Faunus, and during his years at Signal a group of Faunus hating bandits arrived in Brook and went after him and the Mayor's daughter the only Faunus in the village. Luckily Ben was home at the time but that set a fire in his stomach that ended with several bloody bandit's a tearfilled hug due to the fear of almost lossing another father figure, and about a week later a thank you kiss from the daughter that lead to Ben getting in trouble with her father. Along with that he knows what it feels like to be judged and what it feels like to be different due to his augments. I mean I could take it out but they are something he dislikes.
