As far as Salem is concerned, you are either for her or against her and I can't see Raven agreeing to serve what she clearly considers a devil. The only reason she thinks of her that way is because of what Ozpin told her. She hasn't heard Cinder's side of the story yet. Raven has been separating from Ozpin long enough to figure things out on her own. And despite your insistence that Cinder is some Draco in Leather Pants we the audience have been shown that she isn’t doing anything for the betterment of humanity. She wanted to be powerful and to be feared, her words. Cinder intimidated others into working for her, which she clearly enjoyed. She murdered innocent people. She works for the person who controls soulless monsters that were created to destroy. We may not know why she wants power and to be feared but it isn’t to help others, only herself.

You obsession with Cinder has blinded you to what cannon has shown. She can still be your favorite character but you don’t need to turn her into some kind of messiah.
