It's certianly not the R34 that bothers people the most.

At least, I never cared.

The issuse isn't with the pairing, either. I think it'd cute.

The issue is that community surrounding the ship - the behavior of it's fervent supporters.

People there treat it like it's already canon, has no ability to be non-canon, and that people who just don't see it are homophobic and the like. All this, of course, when Ruby has displayed no romantic/sexual intentions whatsoever and Weiss has only displayed Hetrosexual ones.

It's like they all refuse to acknowledge the canon of the show - which is what we live off of here. It's made worse by the fact that the same community is the one usually producing theories like:

"Cinder is Blake's mother even though Monty stated beforehand that she was only a few years older than RWBY"

and

"Raven is Yang's evil sister from the future" - which needs no elaboration.

These things are unfounded and unsupported in canon and sometimes factually incorrect, but the people who believe them refuse to even acknowledge opposing viewpoints. It's beyond frusturating, and I'd wager most people here agree with me.

So it's fun to screw with them when we can. One of the best ways to do that is by universally disowning White Rose.
