I'll rephrase what Jaric said: Monty Oum stating that Ruby and Yang are half-sisters and Miles Luna stating outright that Qrow is not Ruby's father both make it clear that it was not their intention for Ruby and Qrow's relationship to be perceived as secretly father and daughter.

The fans ending up interpreting it that way was an accident and not something that they wanted.

It's like how people can insist all they want that Yatsuhashi is secretly the White Fang Lieutenant, but that doesn't make it true, nor does it mean the writers should retcon anything to make it true.

When writers start changing their plans just because the fans say they should do this or that with the story, it tends to royally fuck up the show. Writers shouldn't do something just because the fans demand it.

Torchwick doesn't count because they had already decided to keep him before episode 1 even aired, and Velvet is not a central point in the plot or someone's character, backstory, or development.
