He says "Take everything you love." and then Yang shows up shouting Blake's name. He didn't look at Yang, saw Blake's expression and concluded they were girlfriends. The mere "everything you love" expression means he is going after everything that constitutes Blake's current life, not just a love interests.

If Jaune or Ren had been the one to offer to go after Blake, you wouldn't see the Mellow Yellow or the Black Lotus shippers go batshit that Adam recognises either of them as the Love of Blake's Life.

If Sun had been the one to show, as a BlackSun shipper I wouldn't be claiming Adam recognises Sun as the Love of Blake's life.

What happened is that Adam recognised that a person going out on their own, calling Blake's name to find her in the middle of the chaos has to be someone who cares about Blake.

It honestly makes me sick how some people put romantic love as the only ultimate type of love Geez, I'm not saying Adam looked at Yang and concluded they were girlfriends. In universe of course he means the general love. I agree that had it been anyone else he would have also hurt them.

I'm just saying that Rooster Teeth deliberatly chose Yang out of any other character. Is it because she would have the most emotional impact for the scene? Perhaps. Why? Because she's the closest to Blake. Of course they could just be implying friendship and I would honestly be just as happy with that, but if Yang was male everyone would see it as a nod to the ship. This could potientially be queerbaiting as SketchyOpus pointed out.

I agree that everyone sees romantic love as the ultimate love, but I'm also sick of that getting glanced over in most het relationships.

Again I'd like to reiterate that I don't want this to mean a sappy "Oh Blake is in love with Yang thing". I'd hate that honestly. Only that down the road, if they were to become a couple, this  would be obvious development for that relationship.
