It turns the entire focus of the fanbase toward shipping, makes everyone apoplectic, and creates flamewars. RWBY shouldn't be defined by shipping, and sadly, that's 90% of what people talk about these days.

I’d say things were worse last Volume. Good god that was a calamity.

FNDM: BLMB is forced, we don’t any shipbaiting. Either don’t do it or let it happen naturally. And if you do wanna so it, then actually show development of their relationship.

Also FNDM: God, they again teased BLMB and showed hints of it! I wish they wouldn’t focus on shipping so much!

This isn’t really meant personally aimed at you, Glitch. Just a general observation of mine when BMBLB is concerned. When BLMB moments aren’t included, people complain that there is a lack of development. But when RT does include moments like it in an attempt to start and develop the relationship, people claim its forced shipbaiting.

Its kinda contradictive. Its like ordering a glass of water and then complaining when you actually get a glass of water.

I agree that BumbleBee should have been developed early on, and I do still think it can be improved. But I’d like to imagine that’s gonna happen now. If Bumblee is gonna happen, I think we can all agree we want build-up and improvement. I’d rather they start with it now then suddenly have them confess out of nowhere two or three volumes later.
