If RWBY changed things for the fans Neptune would've been dead by his third episode, Pyrrha would be magically alive, and the whole show would be worse off for it.

I'm of the opinion that writers should never cave to fan pressure - and if RWBY makes Bumblebee or White Rose canon because some children on Tumblr wanted them to, I'll be sorely disappointed.

I don't mind either as eventual long-term pairings, but Blake and Sun are literally a thing, and Yang and Weiss have shown interest in men. I can't see either happening for several seasons, if ever. You guys are totally unfair. Bryke started building those two up since the beginning of Season 3, and MOST people caught on (myself included) and don't forget that even when it's confirmed that they are a couple, the creators couldn't show anything explicit. They did the damn well best they could. Anyways. Fan opinion is important, but not absolute. Think if creators never realized what their fans wanted. As it stands I have no idea what's gonna happen, since yes Sun exists, but not much has happened in the way of development with him (he has exactly one interaction with Blake in Vol 3 for example). Also, they're literally a thing? Since when? They went to the dance, and that's about it. Again, as it stands, no one knows what's gonna happen, so I wouldn't be too hasty with these things (also, a female being interested in a male does not rule out the possibility that she's also interested in a female).
