Don't say I didn't warn you guys. Like I said, he can get a little... biased... and he basically really can't see that it's actually the other way around - especially since I'm not the only one debating this time, and there are a few heads like you all who basically agreed some of my stated opinions as well. I practically argued with Vedran over some other stuff I don't remember and he agrees as well, so.

Vedran, you are basically correct. What XDex dislikes is basically Weiss' personality and nothing else. Of course she ain't sunshine all the way - she has a short fuse, she explodes, her social skills are literally a mess especially at the beginning, and she's blunt to the point with little regard of the other's feelings (though it's more of a problem that she likely had little real interaction during childhood, and she has been improving). When she's mad, she can go all out with insults and insensitive comments that can turn a saint into a cussing idiot.

But she is the character at the moment, both for the sake of herself and the others, who  had continuously improved to become a better person. She could have retorted when Blake insinuated her family's reputation, but she held back. When she is told strongly by Professor Port, she could have gone all 'tsundere' and never talk to Ruby and 'change my attitude later own to reflect my support' because of her pride. But she talked to Ruby, she expressed specifically and sincerely that she will support her, and that she will show herself as the best teammate ever. And most importantly, she acts on it and so far, never goes back on her words.

Weiss' acceptance of her teammates' quirks and participation (combat skirt, card games in a library - she has perfect justification to not play you know, just look at Ren!) is a proof that she's actively gelling with the team. She also proved that she can swallow her own dislike and accept Blake, even though she has every reason to push Blake away (vice versa), and mind you, she took far less time than a certain cat who ran away, brooded for a couple of days and ignored her companion Sun just as long (Jesus Sun, salutations), worked it all out of her system with a fight before finally confronting Weiss.

I mean, if we really want to do it this way, I can say that I dislike:

1) Ruby, because she's childish as hell, creepy at times with her sudden antiques, and with little regard of her responsibility and actions especially before the confrontation with Weiss. Her only 'improvement' is that she now treats her role as a leader seriously, and everything stems from there.

I won't take into account her seemingly harmful interaction with Weiss (it's the same treatment everyone gives her 'Ice Queen' 'Friends, sisters, Weiss'), because it can just be their social norm. Again, I must stress that the way I interact with one of my best friends is to call out on his legendary bad luck, just as he calls out on my legendary lack of girlfriends since I was born. If we go to the exact wording you might even thinking we're trying to kill each other with words, but I assure you it's not.

2) Yang, because she can be loud and obnoxious and annoying. I actually enjoy her puns, but as you can see even Nora isn't amused by her - what we Chinese calls as 'cold jokes'. The kind that have crows cawing at the ackground. She was technically the one who started the foodfight, what's with the bad puns and revenge apple (who hit the wrong target). Heck, we can even say that she's insensitive if we insist (though it's a little flimsy) that she left her sister all alone on her first day at Beacon.

3) Blake. Yang's first impression of her is, "yeah, this girl is hopeless." Likewise, her comment on Blake when Weiss called her 'quiet, anti social and moody' during Episode 1 of Volume 2 is, "Er, have you met Blake?". I'll add too easily provoked as my own comment. I'm not surprised Bumblebee fans avoid this part like the plague. When Sun says hello to her at the library, she didn't even greet the guy, shoved him away, and got out of the room without so much a word at all because she's in the mood to brood.

One more blunt - like me - would straight out call that rude and cold even though they already got 'used' to it. My housemates came back! Time to exit the room and continue to brood in solitary until... I don't know... the sun rises from the other side (I can make dem puns too yeah)? And she supposedly had 'major' character development.

I personally think that kind of attitude is a lot worse than Weiss, since you know, it's not even productive, but it's hard to reason when the guy just plainly refuses to listen.

And ah, I don't expect XDex to actually read any of this (maybe just barely skim through) because he's proven himself in this and other threads that 'he won't even look at the moans'. It's incredibly irresponsible but eh, whatever.
