It felt out of left field because it was out of left field. Not to push anyone's buttons, but I honestly think that KorraxAsami wasn't their original intention and that they added it for the Tumblr fans.

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.
