However, I can see how that could be misconstrued. In the end, Summer did end up with Qrow, and I doubt that Qrow would be pining after her when she had, because I doubt he would have stuck around to play happy family with Taiyang and Summer after Raven left and Taiyang and Summer got together.

If anything, any Qrow/Summer pairing would have been just an attempt to see if they could have been anything, realised that they wouldn't and parted ways on amicable terms at least before Raven left. After Raven left, there's too much going on in terms of rampant emotions for any split between Qrow/Summer and then the pairing of Taiyang/Summer to happen without someone getting majorly jilted. And if Qrow did get majorly jilted, I doubt he would have hung around to become Yang and Ruby's awesome Uncle Qrow, as even after Summer died he'd still feel negative emotions towards Taiyang to really hang around any more than necessary - weekends here and there, birthdays and Christmas would be about it.

Well, that last bit is purely my belief in terms of a Qrow/Summer pairing. Perfectly reasonable, though I must thank you for this exchange, cause, thanks to a joke I had with a friend where I called attention to Taiyang being weird only to find he was actually a cut-out (Vol.3 Ep.1) and then presenting the theory of Taiyang sleeping his way through his whole team, I have developed the humourous headcanon of Taiyang the slut-out.

'''So the misconception ultimately resulted in an anecdote I can use to other RWBY fans rather than any harm, so it's all good. XD'''
