Apparently, a bit of it was them trying to emulate what you can do in the video game, Grimm Eclipse. She even uses one of the special moves at one point.
Now, what really annoys me is how the new gorilla Grimm was instantly ruined by that meme. *Sigh*

[A THOUSAND BAFFLED NEIGHS]
Are there really still people in the RWBY fandom who don't understand the timeline of what happened with Yang's mother?!! Really?!! Even after later episodes have cleared things up a bit?!! AGH!!!Spoiler: The correct story. Spoilers showBreakdown of the story Yang told in Volume 2:
- Yang and Ruby grew up on an island called Patch
- Dad (Taiyang) was a Huntsman who taught at an academy, and mom (Summer) was a Huntress who took on missions around the kingdom ("Her name was Summer Rose [...]")
- One day, Summer went on a mission and didn't come back home
- Taiyang became depressed and revealed to Yang that Summer actually was not her mother, just Ruby's mother
- Taiyang explains that Yang's mother (Raven) left her with him shortly after her birth, for unknown reasons. Everyone Yang asked claimed that no one had seen or heard from her since she left.
- Taiyang didn't tell her much, but he did tell her that he, Summer, Qrow (their uncle), and Raven were all on a team together
- Yang was desperate for more info, so one day, while Taiyang was teaching at the academy and Qrow was out, she took Ruby into the woods, following what she believed to be a lead. Grimm (monsters) showed up, but Qrow saved her and Ruby. That day, she learned not to let her search for answers be the only thing she thinks about because it could get her or someone she cares about hurt.
So, basically, the timeline of that story is:
- Summer, Taiyang, Raven, and Qrow were on a team together (revealed in Volume 3 to be Team STRQ (Stark))
- Taiyang and Raven become a couple
- Raven gives birth to Yang and then leaves for unknown reasons
- Taiyang and Summer become a couple, raising Yang together
- Summer gives birth to Ruby
- Years later, Summer goes on a mission and doesn't make it back home
- Taiyang explains to Yang the truth about her mother
- Yang takes Ruby with her into the woods, following a lead, and Qrow saves them from Grimm
Simple, right?
And then, late in Volume 2, a mysterious masked woman with a colorful sword saves Yang from Neo (one of the antagonists).
In Volume 3, Qrow shows off an old photograph of Team STRQ, and Yang recognizes the sword that Raven has in the photo. A little while later in Volume 3, Yang mentions this to Qrow and tells him that a woman with the same sword saved her, which reveals that, yes, the woman who saved Yang in Volume 2 was her mother, Raven. Qrow confirms this ("You're not crazy, Yang. That was your mother, alright."), mentions Raven is his sister, and says that Raven told him she saved Yang once but won't do it again.
^Okay, so that's the correct story, from what we've been told and shown by the show itself.
Here is a summary of the explanation I just saw a confused fan give:Spoiler: Despite being incorrect, it does include spoilers show- Grimm attacked their home when Ruby and Yang were little, and Yang's mother went missing. (Already completely wrong! Where did you even get this idea from?!!)
- It is unknown for sure if Qrow said "She saved you once" to mean when the masked woman, whose identity is "unknown", saved her from Neo or if he meant she saved her when she was a kid. ( She outright said Qrow was the one who saved her and Ruby when they were kids!! And it was confirmed in Volume 3 that the masked woman was Raven!)
- Some kind of thing about Raven being placed under a curse to transform into a Grimm woman, wanting Yang to go save her from the curse because she has black hair and red eyes. (???? She has black hair and red eyes in the old photo! She's always had black hair and red eyes!)
Ugh...
I'm sorry, but the RWBY fandom bugs me sometimes because there are so many fans who make theories that make absolutely no sense within the context of canon and then expect their theory to actually be canon, despite evidence from the show disproving it. And then we have fans who don't pay any attention to the show.
I think I've said this before, but I'll say it again...
RWBY fandom: The show doesn't explain anything!! It needs to explain more!!
RWBY: *Makes entire scenes dedicated to exposition and explaining things clearly*
Half the RWBY fandom: *Only listens to somewhere between 5% and 50% of that. Makes half-baked theories based on misinformation, ignoring details from the explanation*Spoiler: Example of said occurrence (Volume 3 spoilers) showRWBY: Only young women can become Maidens.
Tons of RWBY fans: Pyrrha is going to get the Fall Maiden powers, and then her thoughts are going to be of Jaune, and Jaune will become the next Fall Maiden!
.....
Jaune is a boy.

I've always kind of preferred to be on my own, even in my fandoms: going to BABSCon last year was my first step out of that field. But I have got such a bad need to talk to someone about the latest episode of RWBY and I don't have anyone in my comfortable social circle who's seen it! Aaagh.
