1) Just recap, Atlas is a rich, capitalist nation that runs on Faunus slavery - so it is pregnant with anti-Faunus discrimination, therefore a seriously hot target for Adam and any followers he have left. Heck, some school girls snickered at the deaths of Ilia's parents at the mining accident.

2) Weiss's father is a complete scumbag of a corporate executive and the people see Weiss herself as some maniac and would sooner boo and spit at her than welcome her with open arms (or at least, one women in the crowd would so I'm making broad strokes here).

3) What I'm saying is that what reason would our heroes have to protect such a depraved nation? How are they sure they would be so grateful they would drop their bigotry towards Faunus and Vale? Even if they did, should they even be forgiven?

1) I'm not really seeing how being rich or capitalist is a strike against them, especially seeing as all the other nations are capitalist. Also, slavery has been illegal across all of Remnant since The Great War. Blake, the incredibly biased former Pro-Faunus terrorist, merely said that their labor practices were questionable. The school girls are just school girls, teenagers are shitty, look at the collective sense of humor of their generation.

2) Weiss' father is unscrupulous at best, and Weiss acted like a maniac at her party. And that one woman in the crowd is the one who was almost killed because Weiss couldn't control her emotions. Pretty good reason not to want to greet her with open arms.

3) None of what you've said has had any bearing to the common Atlas folk like Flynt and Neon. It's all been stuff that rich shitheads have done. Or do you think they're "depraved" and deserve to have their homes be destroyed too? Do you think an entire nation should be punished for the actions of what, like 5 people?

Also where is this whole "bigotry towards Vale" thing coming from? One person being a shithead is not a systemic issue. The Atlesian people attempted to help Vale before the fall of Beacon, and the event that Weiss disrupted was to fundraise for the restoration of Vale as well.

Do you have any sense of objectivity at all?
