I'm pretty sure it wasn't half the fandom that already pegged her for Yang's mom. Granted, a lot of people did, but there were also a ton of people saying "No, she's not Yang's mom" "She's Summer Rose!" "She's someone else entirely" "She's Adam's new partner!" "She's Adam's teacher!" etc.

There would still be mystery, even though there are people who think she's Yang's mom. Though, even with her unmasking, there are still people who completely deny that she could be Yang's mom.

Also, even if you and other people are relieved that they got the reveal over with, it doesn't change the fact that it's bad writing. You don't introduce a mysterious masked character and then unmask her in the very next episode. There was no build up whatsoever. Sure, now we have to wait through the hiatus to know for sure if she is who we think she is, and she might not even be in the first episode of volume 3, but it still killed the fucking tension and build up. That's what I'm mad about. It was very bad writing.
