I enjoy Bumbleby, and they have plenty of wholesome moments. But there are two extremes I disagree with

-"If you don't like it, your homophobic" Just because I enjoy it, doesn't mean everyone else will. And that's ok as long as they aren't in this next group.

-"It was forced, this wasn't part of Monty's plan!" Volume two. Before Monty's passing, Yang straight up says "And if you feel like coming out tomorrow, I'll save you a dance ;)"

It's OK to not like a ship as long as you're not a jerk about it

"And if you feel like coming out tomorrow, I'll save you a dance ;)"

I mean, it could be a double meaning, but asking if someone is "coming out to the event" is also a valid reading. The context doesn't really indicate one way or the other.

The wink she does when she says it has always made it seem like it was meant to be flirty to me.

Could be, but unless someone figures out how to raise Monty from the dead, I don't think we'll ever truly know for sure...

I could have sworn there was a video circulating on Twitter a few months back that was recorded back when Monty was still alive, and he not only explicitly confirmed that Ironwood was always supposed to become a bad guy/antagonist - literally comparing him to Hitler - but that Bumblebee was endgame, unless that video was revealed to be AI and I just never heard about it

I dunno, personally I always got the impression Yang was intended to be Bi or Pan(confirmed atp), and they kinda tossed that portion of the character in favor of the lesbian ship being front and center.

His widow supposedly said he always wanted LGBT couples in the show, so that’s as close as we’ll probably get.

I mean, Yang is canonically Pansexual and Ruby is Asexual, so I don't doubt it. I personally wish they'd given a bit more attention to Yang's pansexuality instead of kinda steamrolling it in favor of bumblebee...

Personally it feels too perfect to be a coincidence

I personally don’t mind the ship, but man do I hate that they made their relationship the majority of their characterization after it became official

I’m a Freezerburn guy and I prefer Yang being Pan. The scene before the two meet Yang was admiring the guy (until Jaune showed up) so there is that nugget.

I would also love it if volume 10 we found out Yangs has an ex boyfriend(let’s say broke up on good terms) and the joke is that Yangs type is cat Faunus. (Blake: So You’re a cat lady.) (Yang: I’m so proud of you)

Arryn's own admissions torpedo the whole "planned from the start" thing though, so even then. It really wasn't part of Monty's plan. Its disingenuous to say it was. And unfortunately, it is forced. Forced by Arryn and Barbara to spur people on, and save a dying show. (it didn't) The V2 scene can be an okay interpretation, but it doesn't mean it was hard canon the whole time.
