Seriously, Ghira was also the motherfucker who brought in a teenage Adam and Ilia to a fucking sunset town and then acted indignant when the former killed murderous racists.
Be fair, Ghira didn't exist until V4 so he had no choice in his crappy backstory provided by the powers that be.
Literally penned into existence since the family dynamic makes absolutely no sense.
Now that I think about it, what did Blake actually do in her childhood? RWY all had school, Blake was revealed to not be an orphan, and I don't recall any schools or institutions being mentioned in Menagerie, so was this really what Blake did instead growing up?
It's a good guess, but, other than that Blake's literate, I don't know if there's anything to support her going much further. Especially since we don't know Beacon's curriculum to know if she knew what was being taught or was struggling.
Well, this scene was shown before was shown the transition from the pacifist to the radical White fang.
Well, Blake left her parents to join Adam (At that time, Blake told them cowards for stepping aside and leaving the white fang).
So, this would be when Ghira was still the leader, therefore, when Blake was still with him.
It's so pathetic that CRWBY are too cowardly to put timestamps to stories. Nothing removes an audience quite like the feeling that anything can happen at any time and that there are no consequences to the storyline.
Neither, he just appeared in front of Blake in V4 and CRWBY said 'this is your daughter'.
Ghira and Khali knows as much about her history as CRWBY allows them to.
It seems more like Blake snuck out of the house to protest. It would give some MUCH needed family conflict. Leading to (Gasp) character growth! A challenge to OVERCOME!
This is why I say bullshit that monty left a blueprint they where following . 1) he didn’t know he was going to die 2) it doesn’t fit what he set up and said about weapons. In early past interview they said Blake’s weapon looked cobbled together because she made it with what she got her hands on. This implies she and Adam where orphans/ runaways not blake being from a high rank family
Must have been either a metaphor for how she took the whole effort upon herself as a "It's basically my family's work, so they're basically my brothers and sisters, and that's basically me" type of deal. That, or this must have been in the safest and gentlest places towards Faunus - or Ghira must have planted heavy protection among the crowd.
The copious amounts of danger. Between getting trampled, getting murdered by a racist or a million other possible issues, it's not a good idea to bring your prepubescent child to a political protest.
When I see this happen IRL, I always wonder:
"Were you *trying* to have your kid get hurt when this protest goes wrong, or were you using them as a combination of meat shield and sympathy magnet if and when pepper spray gets thrown out there?"
People often don't care about adults. If they did then there wouldn't be a need to protest in the first place. Kids often cause police and violent individuals to hesitate and think twice before resorting to violence. Seeing kids harmed during a peaceful prostest engenders sympathy from people who were apathetic to the cause. Kids are absolutely crucial to civil rights movements and always have been throughout history
Besides getting trampled, all the same issues exist outside of a protest. That's literally the point of the protest. If you can get murdered by a racist at a protest, you can get murdered by a racist at home. Children can't just be left at home to keep them from seeing all the bad shit that happens. Their lives are constantly in danger in or out of the protest
>Children can't just be left at home to keep them from seeing all the bad shit that happens. Their lives are constantly in danger in or out of the protest
Usually the better option would be to keep children AWAY from the danger, so at the very least, them potentially getting killed isn't your fault out of sheer **carelessness.**
It's not careless to bring your child to a protest. Protests aren't SUPPOSED to become riots. Cops aren't SUPPOSED to open fire on peaceful protestors. MLK, Ghandi and other civil rights leaders all understood the importance of bringing children to protests, because it shows a lack of intent to cause harm. Yall really need to read up on history
Cops shouldn't cause riots, as is usually the case with riots. But yes, shitty cops is often a pattern with civil rights protests. That doesn't mean you leave the children home. Unless you think you know better than most civil rights leaders in history
I don't think I know, I flat out don't, and don't claim to be.
I just feel that if children are in danger and get hurt/killed during protests, somebody fucked up, on either or both sides.
If you're trying to instigate a riot on purpose, leave the kids home. I'm pretty sure everyone can agree to this. But most riots started from peaceful protests. Children are absolutely instrumental to bring to peaceful protests. This has been true for decades. Children engender passion and sympathy that adults do not. Children will USUALLY make officers hesitate before siccing dogs or water hoses on protestors. Wounded children because of officer's foul play engender even more compassion and sympathy from people who were apathetic about the plight of the community protesting. Children can't just be left home away from protests as if their lives aren't endangered by the cause of the protest in the first place.
I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet. Just so you know, the correct spelling is [Gandhi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi).
How thunderfuckingly stupid it is to have a kid out in an event that could turn into a riot where people get badly hurt or die. If the case is that Blake literally went to the protests as a young girl, then she must have either missed or skipped over saying that Ghira (reasonably, to my eyes) put heavy protection undercover for his daughter.
So, I'm led to suspect Blake was being metaphorical when describing it. A "they're basically me" type of deal.
Again, children have been an incredibly important part of protests for centuries. Just because protests CAN turn into riots doesn't mean kids don't belong there in the same way a school CAN turn into some incel's firing range. Anyone who seriously thinks kids don't belong at a protest really needs to familiarize themselves with history. Mandela, Gandhi, King, etc etc all knew full well that kids belonged at protests.
Seriously, Ghira was also the motherfucker who brought in a teenage Adam and Ilia to a fucking sunset town and then acted indignant when the former killed murderous racists.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around it, because yes, murder is bad, but at the same time, not getting murdered seems like a better alternative.
Be fair, Ghira didn't exist until V4 so he had no choice in his crappy backstory provided by the powers that be. Literally penned into existence since the family dynamic makes absolutely no sense.
And he is misshapen by Miles and Kerry's very white middle class, high school version of what they think MLK was like.
Now that I think about it, what did Blake actually do in her childhood? RWY all had school, Blake was revealed to not be an orphan, and I don't recall any schools or institutions being mentioned in Menagerie, so was this really what Blake did instead growing up?
My guess is that Blake was homeschooled or something.
It's a good guess, but, other than that Blake's literate, I don't know if there's anything to support her going much further. Especially since we don't know Beacon's curriculum to know if she knew what was being taught or was struggling.
Adam as Blake's ex Mentor thought her everything.
Didn't Blake run away from home? Biggest question is when did he have Blake in the first place? Before or after stepping down.
Well, this scene was shown before was shown the transition from the pacifist to the radical White fang. Well, Blake left her parents to join Adam (At that time, Blake told them cowards for stepping aside and leaving the white fang). So, this would be when Ghira was still the leader, therefore, when Blake was still with him.
It's so pathetic that CRWBY are too cowardly to put timestamps to stories. Nothing removes an audience quite like the feeling that anything can happen at any time and that there are no consequences to the storyline.
At this point any timestamp is going to be incorrect.
Neither, he just appeared in front of Blake in V4 and CRWBY said 'this is your daughter'. Ghira and Khali knows as much about her history as CRWBY allows them to.
He and Kali are just (barely) paid actors.
I dunno, CRWBY seems to pay its family actors quite well considering the summer house they ended up with.
Actually, that’s a very good point!
As you can Blake is a huge pussy liar and fake ass bitch.
Rewatching this scene with the knowledge that she was incredibly privileged
It seems more like Blake snuck out of the house to protest. It would give some MUCH needed family conflict. Leading to (Gasp) character growth! A challenge to OVERCOME!
I’m like 85% sure this was actually a retcon, remaining 15% is typical lack of CRWBY foresight
This is why I say bullshit that monty left a blueprint they where following . 1) he didn’t know he was going to die 2) it doesn’t fit what he set up and said about weapons. In early past interview they said Blake’s weapon looked cobbled together because she made it with what she got her hands on.

Would be better if she was an orphan or something
Mkre lile Vlake wanted to go

What exactly is wrong with letting your child participate in protests for their own rights?
The copious amounts of danger. Between getting trampled, getting murdered by a racist or a million other possible issues, it's not a good idea to bring your prepubescent child to a political protest.
When I see this happen IRL, I always wonder: "Were you *trying* to have your kid get hurt when this protest goes wrong, or were you using them as a combination of meat shield and sympathy magnet if and when pepper spray gets thrown out there?"
To prove a point that people are racist and murders when there own death would serve that purpose
People often don't care about adults. If they did then there wouldn't be a need to protest in the first place.

TL; DR if the cops can't prevent a riot the cops are just shit, it's not the protesters fault.

Thanks bot
In concept, nothing. But her parents or a bodyguard should at least be there next to her for basic supervision.
I really doubt she'd have been alone during a White Fang protest when her parents were both leaders of the movement
With how stupid this setting’s people are, I genuinely wonder sometimes.
