To be fair, I think them getting shipped from the very onset is reasonable enough. The lyrics to Red Like Roses, the first RWBY song we heard did introduce them to us by correlating them both with characters from a romantic fairy tale: "black the beast descends from shadows/yellow beauty burns gold". There's some implication there. Add that and the fact that the pic of Raven Yang flashes Junior kinda looks more like Blake together, and it's pretty understandable how it happened.

As for the show "pushing" Black Sun. I don't know. Sure, it's suggested it at times, but I'd actually say more narrative weight is behind Bumblebee due to how volume 3 unfolded. The weightiest stuff to happen to Blake so far involved Yang. And while yes in volume 4, they spent more time together, if the writers were actually trying to set up a working relationship there I feel like they kind of dropped the ball. From what I recall, most everyone hated their interactions, either because of Blake being slap-happy and irrational or Sun being creepily intrusive. That coupled with the fact that on Yang's side of things, there really isn't any alternate love interest aside from Blake and the fact that there have been so many ship teases and moments for Bumblebee, honestly has me suspecting that Black Sun is more just a temporary distraction from where it's really going.
