Is man (and faunus)kind better off extinct at the hands (or should I say claws) of the Grimm? Oh, bitter winter child......Remnant isn't Westeros. It's got it's bad apples, like literally every group ever. Doesn't mean it's filled with bad apples.

Accentuating the negative is one thing. Ignoring the positive, and the context behind the negative, is another.

Like for example, what Chish pointed out regarding Yang. She saw Mercury trying to sucker-kick her, an hallucination inflicted by Emerald. The public were not under any hallucinations, nor did they know someone played a mind trick on Yang.

So when Yang punched Mercury, from her perspective she was defending herself, but from the public's perspective she was an asshole winner who punched someone who had already lost, for no reason.

It is only natural for the public to be, at the very least, astonished. If they didn't, it would imply the people of Remnant are sociopaths, and then they would be better off fed to the Grimm.
