So, if you know that it's confirmed that Taiyang is Ruby's father, not Qrow, then maybe present it as "Wouldn't it be cool if they did this instead?" instead of "I have a theory that..."

Personally, I like their family the way it is. The way Taiyang ended up with two kids is screwed up enough as it is, without it turning out that either

A) Summer made Ruby with Qrow, but Taiyang thinks Ruby is his

B) Summer, Qrow, and Taiyang knew damn well that Ruby was Qrow's, but Qrow ended up having Taiyang take care of Ruby instead for whatever reason

The current way their family is screwy is just fine. It's fine with Qrow acting as a cool uncle and possibly almost-second-father through helping Taiyang take care of the kids after Summer's death/disappearance.

As for both Ruby and Qrow wearing red and wielding scythes...

1. Adam and Raven also wear black and red, just like Ruby, but they're not related to her.

2. Ruby probably thought Qrow's scythe was super cool and wanted to wield one too, when she started attending Signal.
