Maybe the supporters are really obnoxious or something, I don't know, but they're two of the only characters in the whole bloody show to have displayed some decent chemistry, and who have shared legitimately tender moments together. I know Black Sun is more likely to actually happen, but the extent to which people get worked up about the matter is actually insane. I can see the chemistry between Blake and Yang, and while I don't personally ship Bumblebee, I could actually see it happening if the series wasn't going the route of Black Sun. Meanwhile, I don't see any chemistry for White Rose.

But yeah, it's basically what Pac115man said. It's the shippers who make people oppose the ship so much, for the most part. White Rose and Bumblebee have an awful lot of rabid shippers who will rip your head straight off your body for so much as saying you don't ship it. Not to mention being so protective of their ship that some of them want characters who interfere with the ship to die.

Plus, it can be really obnoxious when there are a ton of shippers (in any fandom) who take every tiny little thing and turn it into 100% totally irrefutable proof that their ship will be canon and proceed to get all excited about it and shove their "proof" in everyone's faces. ("Omg she smiled at her in that one scene" "They hugged, omg, ship confirmed" "I'd like to point out that Blake called Yang instead of Ruby when the Grimm attacked" <- Motherfucker, Ruby's Scroll was BROKEN, and we don't know if Weiss or Blake hadn't already tried calling Ruby)
