Admittedly, I say that because my real introduction to RWBY was White Rose related, so I kind of came in with that ship as is. As for how it could happen... who knows. Just my take there. Same here! I watched RWBY because in yuri subreddits and yuri fangroups on Facebook That's how you found the show?

shudders

So you had no actual reliable sources encouraging you to watch for real reasons. That's kinda mean, don't you think? I know a lot of my friends who got into RWBY through yuri fanart and fanfiction, going in hoping it to be a yuri anime. (And one friend who saw fanart of a DDLC character, Sayori, cosplaying as Ruby which bizarrely worked and that's how they got into it.) And like Gemmaniac said, that's where most of the fandom came from. In fact, I'd be lying too if this isn't how I got into the show too. I came for yuri, but then stayed for the action, comedy and characters. Even though there's no yuri (Though I am greatful for it having an openly lesbian couple as well as a lesbian character), I stayed anyway because I love Weiss, Ruby is super adorable and just in general, I even find myself relating to the main girls more than I expected.

Although, I really did kinda ship Ruby with Weiss and Blake with Yang. And I still do, but I prefer these ships to only be in fanfiction and fanart. The writers clearly don't know what they're doing with Bumbleby other than just making it canon out of nowhere. If they ever make White Rose canon, there goes every good writing. It's no longer an action anime, it's officially just a romance.
