I like the Yuri/yaoi pairings because it's a change of pace from the traditional guy/girl pairing.

It's also a way of saying that "RWBY is for everyone". It'll help their views if they have at least one yuri/yaoi pairing, as the gays/lesbians will feel the show supports them, so the audience could increase in that sense.

It might also cause some viewers to leave, but it's okay, it'll prove which ones are truly loyal to the show, and which ones aren't. A truly loyal viewer will stay regardless of the romantic pairings, plot or characters introduced.
