Plus, Adam is not Blake's entire plotline, nor is the Fang. Blake's plotline was always about the fight for equality between humans and faunus. The Fang were simply a roadblock to that goal. I agree (or at least don't disagree) with everything else you said, but this....it's just wrong. Blake's entire plotline up to this point has always been about Adam in one way or another, directly or indirectly, starting from the Black Trailer.

And even when it was just the White Fang and not specifically Adam, it still counts because the WF Blake had issues with and ran away from was Adam's White Fang, not even Sienna's.

Yes, she talks about "muh equality" and "muh faunus discrimination", but in the practice, that ends up being simple window dressing since her entire plotline is focused on the White Fang itself, not on the discrimination around her, to the point that the WF, and Adam, were her main motivation for doing things before Vol.6.

1) She left the WF because it - and Adam - was getting too violent and focused on killing humans instead of actually helping faunus.

2) For a good number of episodes in Vol.2 she became obsessed with trying to stop the White Fang while wondering why were they even willing to work with a human, especially one like Torchwick, to the point of ignoring her own health. And the WF was doing it because of Adam.

3) There's basically everything she told Yang in V3E8, the whole "I want to believe you" and so on, which is quite clearly in reference to Adam. Then there's the fact that the very reason that Blake ditched all her friends without even a tiny note was because of Adam and his threat.

4) She goes back and forth between "I'm going to fight the White Fang" and "I'm not here to fight the White Fang" throughout the whole Volume while Adam's got WF members on Menagerie to watch her. Which leads to....

5) Blake's entire Vol.5 plotline is about trying to stop Adam's plan of exploding Haven to bits. And the attack on her home happens specifically because Adam wanted her parents dead. Sure, she tells Adam at the end that she "wasn't there for him" but from a writing standpoint, those are blatant lies, she was there precisely because of Adam.

Volume 6 is the only time Blake's motivations and plot thread hasn't had anything to do with the White Fang or Adam......until Ep10 rolled around, so not even that.
