The appropriate reaction to crazy toxic shippers getting their way and forcing CRWBY to cater to their whims at the expense of the show's overall quality.
Well it was *obviously* planned from the very start! Remember how Yang winked at Blake and how we heard heavenly choirs during it, or how she helped Blake out with more than just 1 problem by sticking by her no matter what? No, wait a minute, that was a different blonde character...
And that's what really pissed me off here Rooster Teeth caved to the crazy bumblebee shippers and from that they have alienated so many people on the center and the right.
And with what's happening right now with Bud Light and Target and everything else right now RoosterTeeth finds themselves in the crosshairs of probably having them being cancelled
I mean, it was apparently planned from the beginning for it to settle on Bumblebee. The issue is that they spent an absurd amount of time developing other potential love interests without really doing the groundwork for upgrading their friendship, so it went from them being best friends with little in the way of romantic interest to girlfriends. It could have worked if they'd tried harder.
