1. Doesn't mean that she is Qrow's daughter. There are cases of children taking their mother's name over their father's.

2. You're reaching on this one. Him being from a bandit tribe in no way supports the "Qrow is Ruby's father" theory. The burden with his name is talking about his name being bad luck as he stated in the episode that he talked about his semblance.

3. Still doesn't make him her father. He would need to keep is a secret.

4. Once again you're reaching. Him being away on missions doesn't mean he would need to keep being her father a secret.

5. Being that Summer and Tai had been on the same team would be plenty of time for them to develop a close friendship. It wouldn't be hard for them to fall in love when she was helping him raise Yang.

6. Again you're reaching. Her being trained by him doesn't make him her father.

7. You can inherited you're physical traits from a single parent. It's fully possible. And Ruby looks nothing like Qrow either.

Monty stated that Ruby and Yang are half-sisters. He had no reason to do so when he tweeted that response to the theory of Yang being Summer. He could have just said no they are different people and that would have been the end of it. But he went further than that when he didn't need to. And this was before their even was a Qrow is Ruby's father theory. There was nothing for him to mislead people away from. So no. And no RT doesn't lie. They are very carful about that. Just yesterday they said the word thing very carefully to avoid spoilers but to lie.

There are other things as well. Why would Summer, Tai, Qrow and even Raven feel the need to keep this a secret from Ruby and Yang? Why would Raven just tell Yang that Ruby is not her sister and that they have been lie to all their lives to plant doubt in Yang's mind? Why the secrecy for nothing at all.

And then there is the writing. To what purpose would Qrow being Ruby's father serve? What would be the gain to the plot? All it would do is add drama for the sake of drama and nothing else. It would be pointless.

At no point has the matter even come up in the story. No one in story has ever questioned Ruby and Yang's parentage. There has never been even the slights hint of it. The only points people use for the theory are subjective at best, desperate at worst. There is nothing for the theory and everything against it. No canon hints and the cast and crew always referring to Yang and Ruby as sisters and Tai being their father.
