Chad brought up the fact that the fandom is up in arms over whether the hand holding was friendship support or alluding to giving the most vocal shippers in the community what they've wanted. Her exact words were, "I don't know, I don't know. I will say that a lot of stuff in RWBY has been planned since the very beginnng.
