You should probably laugh at the wokescolds that wanted "more Faunus rep" to the point they accidentally shoot themselves in their own foot all because they didn't bother to stop and
think about all this.
Salem's entire shtick is to kill everybody, including herself. Summer Fucking Rose, one of the most "privileged" characters in the show proper (by this lolcow's own lack of logic) is slated for a return via the Hound. All are equal in death. She even treats a psychopathic Faunus character as her most trusted lieutenant.
Salem can't form a bond with Humanity 2.0 because they're a different generation, and they all die anyways. Why should she give a shit about whether or not someone is a Faunus and has possible "Faunophobic" undertones? They're all inferior because they can't die or have magic, especially when her plan to spread magically empowered aryans, light and dark-skinned, by having her own daughters breed was the reason why Oz took the kids!
