It was a contrived, petty moment that completely neutered Raven's character and removed yet another potentially morally grey character from this show. Sorry to disappoint you, but if you thought the Raven of Volume 4 was the real Raven, then I daresay you were destined to be disappointed. Volume 5 has gone to great lengths to show what a fraud Raven is, culminating in her epic deconstruction at Yang's hands in the finale. Time and again she contradicted herself, disillusioning not only Yang but several fans who believed Raven was something that ultimately proved untrue. And RT did it brilliantly, so people could feel Yang's disappointment when she finally met her mother face-to-face. You call it neutering her, I call it a well deserved emotional beatdown that completely stripped away the illusion of strength Raven cast around her. And some feel Yang didn't go far enough, they wanted to see Raven completely broken at the finale, if not killed. But clearly CRWBY has something else in mind for the flighty bird, or else she wouldn't have escaped Haven... alive.
