It's a stupid prejudice. Because Ruby is way cuter than jaune! :p ;) Maybe there are some subtext of Jaune x Pyrrha, but this is the only BoyxGirl pairing that i can see with jaune.

There is only two boy, jaune and Ren, but the second one is very reserved, so i can't figure him shipped with anyone (maybe Nora, i assume). If author want to do hetero instead of yuri, it gona turn to harem! Fisrt of all, i hate Harem (but it's fine with yuri Harem, more cute, more poetic); and furthermore, Jaune don't have the charisma to become a harem king (or that don't make really good story).

if there was an other team of mains character, but with only guy's, Shippings would be Jaune/ Pyrrha, Ren/Nora, and team RWBY members/ other team members. But actually, there is one team with only girl, and an other with an equal number of boy and girl, so it end up bcome yuri.

Well, you've forgotten two key factors.

1. Sun.

2. ALL MEMBERS OF CRDL.

THERE ARE MORE MALE CHARACTERS THAN JUST REN AND JAUNE. I do not mind the yuri, it does not bother me to any great extent. However, as a writer, I far prefer to write heterosexual relationships. Hell, the only member of RWBY I can write any yuri connotations for is Weiss, since her personality lends itself to it. Blake and Sun have the obvious romantic tension. Ruby seems to be ambivalent, more interested in weaponry than other people. Yang... is Yang. I have a hard time picturing her with another girl, mostly from comments that she has made. I can enjoy reading other peoples fanfiction involving Yang + Girl, but as for writing it? Forget it.

Yes, CRDL are not main characters, although Sun has set up as a major supporting character in the same vein as Ozpin or Glynda. But, there are still more shipping options than you argue, 'nony.

However Sun wasn't really introduced until the last two episodes (which I'm pretty sure this forum was made well before they were aired). Team CRDL on the other hand did have a tiny bit of screen time after the initiation, but they are were shown to be complete jerks once an episode finally gave them some lines, so who would really want to write about them. This is pretty much why most people only refer to Jaune, Ren, Roman, and sometimes Ozpin as the only male characters introduced (not counting Sun, as once again he was only brought in during the last 2 episodes).
