Figures the second I express public-ish confusion about this supposed 'let go of ur anger/ego yang' aesop someone pops up repeating it. And I mean…where? When? How was she somehow 'worse', 'less noble', 'cockier' or 'dumber' than any other leads in the Beacon volumes ('specially Weiss 'grouse about not being team lead & tackle tourney rival into a lava geyser' Schnee or Blake 'try soloing a crimeboss and run myself to near-death' Belladonna)? Do Angry Effort Noises alone mean a character ain't zen enough?? Gawd, I've even seen vintage reach-du jour-takes claiming she basically deserved Cinder's framing. I just don't see how any of this meshes with what we see onscreen or constitutes an Engaging Character Epiphany throughline (as opposed to Weiss escaping Jacques or Blake's trials in forgiving herself & reconnecting with her parents).

Some days it really is exhausting being a Yang fan.

I don't know what it is about Yang in particular that just deletes people's media literacy but they really do just make a sport out of it, don't they.
