Yeah that might be my fault sorry about that. Well you see the reason why I hate both Bumbleebee (especially) and White Rose is because I had a bad experience with those assholes in the RWBY fandom.

When I first joined the fandom after volume 2, the first thing they ask was I a "White Rose" or "Bumblebee" fan and I repsonded neither. When I first posted I'm a Lancaster fan and discuss in why I ship. I recieved a whole bunch of backlash message from both White Rose and Bumblebee (which is funny since my ship isn't affecting theirs). They said very hurtful things to me and its was my first time being a cyber bully victim. Though surprisingly some of the Bumblebee fans manage to calm the situation and apologize to me about the situation. From there I left the fandom, knowing it's a very dangerous place.

You see I don't care if any (beside the main characters) are LGBT. I'm not a homophobia or disgrace homosexuality. I just have a grudge against Bumblebee and White Rose. I'll might be a little salty if Bumblebee becomes canon but not that much since it was them that manage to diffuse the situation I was in. But no White Rose since it was them that started the situation. If neither of them becomes canon, you could say I manage to gain some justice or revenge.

Though I have a feeling that Miles might make them canon to please the fans. This is why I generally avoid getting involved in shipping conversations (I feel a little more at ease here). I've seen to many fanatical shipping fans to know that there is no talking to them. They can't accept that they could be wrong and another ship might happen instead. Something I try to do is always step away as a fan and look at the writing. It how I was able to accept the canon parings in Naruto even though I shipped NaruSaku. Contrast with what I saw in Bleach where crazed IchiRuki fans went ballistic. So yeah, fanatical shipping fans are just not worth talking to.
