I\\\'m not sure this particular episode is the example where Yang becomes the NeverMyFault trope. There may be a discussion worth having about whether she\\\'s the trope overall as the result of a pattern, but I think Yang\\\'s issue in this episode is too ill-defined (in terms of a trope) for this episode to be demonstrating the trope for certain. She does appear to start to explain what she means but Ren interrupts at that point. At the moment, applying it to this trope feels more like FridgeLogic because Yang\\\'s exact issues (which might help pin down the trope) aren\\\'t explained. It\\\'s similar to how she popped off against Ozpin when his secret came out -- she ranted that \\\'there\\\'s so much you didn\\\'t tell us\\\' and wanted him brought back when he entered his HeroicBSOD because she wasn\\\'t done with him. But, in reality, she\\\'s spent ever-after focussed on a single thing that he didn\\\'t tell them instead. The obvious argument is that the vast majority of what he didn\\\'t tell them was such an extremely private, personal, painful family matter that people don\\\'t have a right to demand information about and wouldn\\\'t find it easy to discuss if they were in his shoes -- and Yang is in his shoes given the secret she\\\'s keeping about her own mother, which could affect them all but which is, nevertheless, a deeply personal family matter for her that\\\'s hard to discuss. We can see it, but it was ill-defined in trope terms because she just pops off at people without explaining herself, and it becomes hard sometimes to pin down which trope is driving her or whether we\\\'re applying Fridge to it until we\\\'ve seen a pattern build up.

I\\\'d suggest asking on the forum or in a place that\\\'ll get more feedback for you than a recap discussion page. It\\\'s a conversation worth having, especially since I know that there is a widespread interpretation in the fandom that Yang is a case of NeverMyFault in this episode.

Well, one of the reasons why Yang and Blake told Robyn was because they didn\\\'t like the decisions other leaders were making. So, she\\\'s displaying a pattern whatever trope it is that she\\\'s demonstrating.

Just to be clear, I\\\'m not saying no to the trope. I\\\'m just not convinced that this particular episode is the one to use to demonstrate or confirm it.
