>>88645314>So what?You've completely missed the point, the Schnee name is EVERYTHING to him, the company is just a means to keep that face. He doesn't even need to be a backer since he can just run other companies out of business and there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it
>She has no idea what she's doingI shouldn't have said company, you're right. She's trying to give the name some credibility back. The Schnee business practices are well-known by those who care enough to dig a bit deeper than Jacques PR team can cover-up, and Weiss knows exactly why everyone hates her family name now. She wants to bring it back in her own way, not necessarily through the company, but with it's money. She's not crying because she can't take the company, she's trying to keep her name's inheritance so she can bring her name back out of the mud she feels it was dragged through by her father, who she does not believe should have had it in the first place, since he married into the Schnee name and wasn't born into it.
>"Have a soul"? What does that MEAN? We already know that Jacques DOES care about how the company and family name is perceived. What is she going to do to change the already-good name that they have?Everyone outside of Atlas seems to hate the SDC, and with the Schnee name being attached, hate the Schnees by default. Jacques tries to keep a good face, equal wages for faunus, charity events when bad things happen, but has been shown to force even small family owned dust shops out of business if they don't buy from him, and has been said to keep faunus in poorer conditions than humans, despite his insistance otherwise. At this point, the other kingdoms have no choice but to buy from the SDC, because they are literally the ONLY player in town, and helped give rise to the original peaceful-protest White Fang. Weiss wants to break away from the company in order to reforge the name that she believes her father took and made a mockery of with his practices
