In my opinion, Ruby is very imature emotinally, even if she doesn't show it. she's just not ready to be romantically involved with someone. the difference between ehr and those outdated societal norms is being forced into a relationship whereas remnant is much more advanced and civilized. I don't really think a place could be considered civilized when there's legal discrimination. The Faunus aren't exactly having tea and cakes and they had to resort to terrorism to deal with the discrimination problems, so Remnant isn't really civilized. you do realise this show was made in the U.S where discrimination was perfectly legal for YEARS while  it was simultaneously discouraged for people under the age of 17 to pursue relationships, right(source: my dad was born at the beginning of the end of legal discrimination)? heck, a lot of RT's people were probably born right around the time that was ending, or at least within the first decade of the aftermath. I am perfectly aware that this entire planet condoned slavery and discrimination for centuries before people actually decided to do something about it. Remnant, in my opinion, is just a place where life is good if you're anyone but the Faunus or Grimm. If you're one of those two groups, you'd be better off dead so you don't need to put up with the fact you'll never have a life as good as the humans unless something is done here and now. 1: grimm are literally mindless monsters who exist to ruin your day

2:white fang is quite siilar to the black panthers

3:from my observation of the world, faunus have equal rights but discrimination on an indiviual level is still quite common. (which, if i recall my recent U.S history is exactly how things were in the U.S for 20-30 years after the end of the civil rights era.) and i think we are WAY off topic here.
