User blog comment:JackWasup/The Faunus Rights Revolution how long ago do you think it was?/@comment-24828824-20150108001120

I have not payed much attention to it in the show but my initial guess was actually that the actual War was held more like a hundred years ago, before the great war of individualism, as a fight for the faunus to be recognized as people rather than beasts. And that the protests going on in current day Remnant are comparable to the difference between the abolishment of slavery and the rise of the civil rights movement. With the faunus still treated as second rate citizens and now trying to fix that.
