Unintentionally Unsympathetic

RWBY: RWBY, JNR and Qrow's collective actions towards Ozpin when the Awful Truth is revealed in Volume 6. While they have every right to be angry, the depth of their aggression towards him shows no regard for Oscar's innocence as Ozpin's host, or the fact that they've been shown such a personal, tragic back story that Ozpin has been reduced to tears right in front of them: Qrow punches Oscar as he disowns Ozpin; Yang's rage is complicated by the audience not knowing whether she's ever revealed the secret she's keeping about Raven; and Jaune slams Oscar into a wall because he's so angry with Ozpin. Their behaviour towards Ozpin is exacerbated in Volume 7 when they decide to keep the same secret from Ironwood that Ozpin kept from them, leading to Ironwood eventually turning on them the way they turned on Ozpin.

Their behaviour towards Ozpin is exacerbated in Volume 7 when Ruby decides to keep the same secret from Ironwood that Ozpin kept from them, leading to Ironwood eventually turning on them the way they turned on Ozpin, and at most Ruby is simply questioned on her decision or the others express frustration at the secret keeping in general. At the beginning of Volume 8, When Yang questions Ruby's leadership abilities and insists they focus on saving the people of Mantle when the latter opts to activate Amity Tower to warn the rest of Remnant about Salem. While the show is trying to create a Both Sides Have a Point conflict, many found it hard to take her side since Team RWBY's current predicament, being wanted criminals by Ironwood and Atlas, could largely be blamed on her and Blake telling Robyn about the Amity Tower Project, something Ruby never told them to do, making it come off more as her deflecting the blame onto Ruby.
