Well, that's why I'm so vehemently against White Rose and Bumblebee. If they ever do come about, the amount of "I told you so!!"ing would drive me insane. Because it would be the entire internet. And everyone who ever said no or was ever against it will be called homophobic and run off the forums.

Me. I mean me. Because I still see Rune as the endgame ship, and don't see the character interaction present for Bumblebee. And, as we all know, not agreeing with the Internet's chosen ship makes you homophobic... even though I passively ship Monochrome and have a soft spot for NutsandDolts. -_-

And even if it's character-driven, and done well, the power you'd put in the shippers hands would be insane - there would be no more debates over who is really best for who. It'd turn into a "My side's canon, thus I'm right" argument, which is only arrogent - J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter tells us that (She recently admitted that she now agrees with may fans; HarryxHermoine > RonxHermoine).

WR and Bumblebee are like the pop-culture icons of RWBY - big, gaudy, and lacking in heart. A good percent of people want them not for the characters or story, but because they're cute and sexy (respectively) lesbian relationships. If RT ever goes down that route, I could never see it as anything except the writers trying to be "cool", even if that wasn't the intention.

O.K. Rant over.

So, dat Scarlet do.

He does have a very feminine pose, but then again, he could just be flamboyant.

Ever gotten to Dome Ace Tucker in Pokemon Emerald? You get the point.
