Thankfully, Eddy Rivas has outright stated that shipping will not affect what they write into the show.

That said, honestly, pretty much every fandom has people who ship characters with little to no reason, even without seeing much of a character's personality yet. It's to the point where the term "crack ship" exists. It's when you take two characters and ship them together for no reason other than "I like it." Like, if you were to ship Whitley with Henry Marigold.

This kind of shipping has existed in the RWBY fandom since even before Volume 1. White Rose and Bumbleby came about before the first episode ever premiered, simply based on the Red, White, Black, and Yellow Trailers. Yes, I am serious. It's why I initially did not support Bumbleby because I thought the people who've been shipping it since before Volume 1 were just heavily biased.
