I think. while there will be an LGBT ship, those characters in particular will not be shipped. As stated before WR and BB, while cute, would never actually work out. Also, I don't believe they will make a ship between the mains because... 1)It's just lazy writing to pair up to lead characters for no other reason than that they spend a lot of time together. 2)All members of RWBY are already pretty well-rounded characters, so just randomly telling the audience, "Oh yeah, they're also lesbians!" will just feel tacked on and unnecessary. This is especially so since they already need to devote a lot of time developing what's there already in the characters, without having to explore their sexuality as well.

There really is no reason for WR and BB to become canon, besides pleasing shippers. But doing that is, IMHO, the very definition of pandering to the audience, and I just don't think I could take the show seriously anymore if the writers will basically just cater to the fandoms whims, to the point of disregarding and filling the plot full of holes.

Let's try not to have fanfiction infect canon, please.
