Every fandom has its dark corners and its toxic people, and in any fandom, shipping typically has its share of toxic people. It's interesting that one of the RWBY fandom's toxic corners has to do with disagreements about speculation and the show's canon. As ACWeapons mentioned, Soarel is one example. The reason Soarel left was due to rather tense disagreement about the show's canon. Soarel is... I guess you could say eccentric about what he believes to be canon, sometimes? Even when Jeff and Casey said that All Things Must Die is about both Cinder and Raven, Soarel decided that they're wrong and that the song is only about Cinder. This sort of brick wall against outside information that contradicts one's beliefs about canon tends to pop up with some people, and some put up that wall more often than others. Needless to say, frustrations about those walls has a tendency to make discussions get heated.
