1-Did you even read what he said? He's not comparing it to 9/11, the reference he's using regarding the accuracy of the average person's memories simply uses 9/11 as part of the quoted tests.

His point has nothing to do with 9/11 in itself, his point is simply that memories are about as malleable as sand. Blanks are easily filled with anything, and one can indeed remember things wrong, including remembering things that never happened.

The term for it is Confabulation, and it's more common than you'd think. Especially if one was under stress or adrenaline.

2-Weiss. Your argument is 50% invalid.

3-And not Yang? Ren? Nora? Anyone after FoB?

1-Okay maybe I jumped the gun on that one. Bringing psychology into something like this shouldn't be done lightly, especially when the issue at had is as serious as discrimination and whether or not its actually there. And there are those that just use psychology as an excuse, like assuming someone is insane because their statement seems implausible, when in fact it turns out to be true. Like WC-83 said, Weiss's and Blake's accounts shouldn't be dismissed so easily regardless of how malleable their memories may be. I'm not gonna assume they may be wrong just because we haven't seen it ourselves. I still just chalk it up to Rooster Teeth not dedicating any time to showing us the issue at face value.

2-I wouldn't exactly call being greeted by a disgruntled father particularly traumatic. But yeah as you noted it sounded to me like he was comparing that to 9/11, which isn't even remotely the same. But again I jumped the gun on that.

3-I was talking about when it comes to Faunus discrimination. That's what I meant by 'in this situation'. I was saying that if anyone had a traumatic experiences when it comes to faunus discrimination it'd be Adam. I didn't mention Yang, Ren, and Nora, because they had nothing to due with the topic at hand.

In the end, I still point to the fact that their were civil rights protests back with Blake was young and still there around the time of the pilot episode as proof enough that Blake's knowledge the unfair treatment towards Faunus is indeed valid. Not to mention Oobleck himself admitted that the treatment is still a problem nowadays.
