You know, I have stated this already, but the whole theme and underlying struggle of RWBY is uniting people. All this talk of revenge, settling old grievances, and people being beyond redemption is counter to that thematic aspect of the story. Beating the Big Bad literally requires some amount of redemption on the part of the grand architecht of all the evil deeds. Granted, said redemption does not mean her suddenly being good, but just her being able to understand the error of her ways and feel remorse over her actions. Not having something similar for her minions is undercutting that message, especially since we don't even know what motivates Cinder.
