I dislike how it was handled myself... but "hate" is far too strong...for instance, the scene with the girls at the end... had they not said "no one was killed"... they could have easily revealed one way or the other after gauging fan reaction. This civilization exists in a world where human survival was questioned for centuries, when the reason they are safe is removed... we expect casualties... that's just the world they set up. Most of us aren't asking for AoT levels of casualties here either, that takes it the other direction, but to not show casualties and outright deny they happened... in another scene that didn't need the information... just no. Remember that this is an event that caused Ozpin standing... even though it was out of his control, ended almost immediately and cost nothing in lives. Where exactly did they no one was killed? The girls said a lot of people where hurt. They may mean that no civilians had been killed just hurt.

It is fairly cold blooded but the white fang causalities may not be seen as that same issue. The white fang members had a choice about fighting team RWBY. They choose to fight so their deaths are their own responsibility.

Mercury made a point of saying a lot of faunus did not make it out of the tunnels.

How much would it really serve the story by showing the faunus getting killed?
