That, and Miles feels that he's not great at writing romance stuff yet, so he's trying to make sure that when they do get around to the LGBT+ stuff, he does it well. I want to take this moment to Remind ChildOfTheMoon3(and any other poster who thinks RT is "Queerbaiting") that it was Monty's idea to write in the LGBT representation... I hate to say this... but Monty is dead. Saying that the failure to produce such a character at this point is "Queerbaiting" is like telling a friend who promised you could play with their cat that "they promised" after they tell you their cat died. It's horribly insensitive and gets you nowhere.

Neither Miles nor Kerry are at a place they can write these character arcs yet... Do you really want a heel-face-turn where a female character obnoxiously squeels "Boobies" every 5 minutes and starts groping everyone?

If you do, go watch porn or Hentai, if you don't... just shut up and wait... I don't have a problem with anyone shipping xyz in the meantime, but I don't want to see or hear people bitching about the promises of the dead that RT has said they intend to get to when they can and misrepresent RT as "Queerbaiters".

Queer baiting is profit, they'll build the relationship, and then they'll like, force Weiss and Neptune together or something. Weiss doesn't even like anything about his personality. It's like Hinata and Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke, Mabel Pines forceful boy crushes, Dipper Pines and Wendy Corduroy, Pacifica Northwest and Dipper Pines, Albus Severus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy, etc. This is just a few examples off the top of my head.

LGBT+ doesn't become canon often. It's literally all queerbait. It's "bait" because it's to "bait" us to watch and buy merchandise. Which, it works. Because there's so little of it, we need all we can grab in our arms.

What's important, is that RWBY promises to have at least a few LGBT+ characters. It's not even a promise of the dead, it's a guaranteed promise of the dead. That's what is important. I dont know about that.The problem that the accusation is based on your interpretation of what the writers are trying to do.

Take WhiteRose.You may see it a romantic possibly.On the other hand ohers may see it has a joke that the wirters chose to indulge in from time to time.Unless its obvious its can be diffcult to separate actual romantic pushing from two characters just getting choser.Which was a problem some had with Korra/Asmai had.
