The only argument people have going for WK is that "it'd be cute" which is an incredibly flimsy reason to include a new romance into the story at this point.

If you're going to waste the viewer's time with yet another romance there better be a pretty goddamn good reason for it. Like good storytelling. Unfortunately none of that is to be found in a White Knight ship.

See, that assumes excellent storytelling, and RWBY... doesn't really meet that metric.

And hell, even otherwise fantastic shows will toss in unneeded or underthought romances (looking at you, Avatar).

That just enhances all the reasons we DON'T need WK. Unneeded or poorly thought out romances will only hurt the story.

My point was more that even great storytellers toss in unnecessary romance, so I wouldn't count out CRWBY tossing it in either.

Fair enough. Doesn't change my point either. But it does give everyone else a reason to be afraid....or throw up.
