I know Jaune's actions can taste really salty thus making this ship something easily to dislike. But let's try to look at it while taking some of their characterization in account.

Jaune and Weiss have a few things in common:


 * They're both very flawed characters. Where Jaune has his stubbornness which can cause him to look like a creep, Weiss has her poor judgement which makes her dislike people very easily and for reasons that are truth only in her head. And they both can be easily smitten by what they consider to be attractive.


 * Their motivations. What drives both characters is their self-consciousness. Although Weiss thinks highly of herself, she don't believes it to be enough and pushes herself very hard to be perfect. On the other hand, Jaune thinks very lowly of himself and wants to stop being the pitiful guy everyone else has to babysit. And the cherry on top is that all of this was caused by their families and the weight they carry for being heirs....

As I said above... it isn't their inability to get along that makes me hate the ship... it's the lack of growth it shows for Jaune(he deserves better) and the cop-out the ship represents for Weiss(she's been a bitch and it should have repercussions).
