Board Thread:Speculation House/@comment-66.116.33.1-20141103215403

Alright, so obviously the RWBY fandom loves shipping the main four, regardless of how unlikely it is that all four of them are either lesbians or bisexual. Monty and co promised that there are LGTB characters in the show, which has led to lots of speculation about who is going to be interested in what, and a lot of people seem sour over the dance in volume 2 having mostly heterosexual pairings (barring Blake and Yang's friendly dance). However, I think the people accusing the crew of leaving out the LGTB representation need to seriously reconsider what we know so far about Ruby herself.

In order, let's go down the list of possible evidence that our main character is going to be the odd lesbian out, so to speak:

She's shown zero interest in Jaune, the only guy she really talks to at Beacon so by default her number one option if she was interested in a relationship.

She doesn't share Yang's enthusiasm for the shirtless guys flexing on the other side of the ballroom during the first night.

In the Animated Recap (I know it's not canon but the girls are all still in-character) her response to Gus and Burnie hitting on the team is "ew gross boys!" and running away, while the others have more general statements that don't mention the guys' gender.

Her natural reaction to losing in a board game is jumping into another girl's lap, wrapping her arms around her, and burying her head in her shoulder, all without asking for any kind of permission.

She obviously goes out of her way to make sure Weiss is with her instead of Neptune when assigning everyone their missions.

And finally, at the dance she's the only one who doesn't mention trying to find a male date, being asked out by guys, or impressing guys. She's obviously just there because of the rest of team was, and she spends at least part of the dance just watching Weiss from the balcony.

If you ask me, that's more than enough hints to at least suspect that Ruby is into those of her own persuasion, and specifically has a crush on Weiss (who seems to be the most desireable member of the team in general based on how two different guys have fallen for her on sight so far).
