Sun isn't Neptune... He CARES about Blake. Fans like Sun's character, and most wouldn't have complained if BlackSun were official because some of the scenes they had were inteaded (if comically) to be actually romantic. And developed their friendship... That's not what I meant by that comparison, "Joey hits on Monica" was teased a few different times, and they weren't teased because he was a horn dog like Neptune(or his normal characterization) it was teased because Joey was actually looking for a mature relationship that he recognized in Chandler x Monica, but wasn't able to recognize or achieve as to what he was looking for.

That was what I meant by the comparison, the fact the ship never resulted in anything left it as episodic fodder... but Friends had the format and length to support no-where relationships, RWBY doesn't.
