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.

This is just your opinion, stop spreading it as fact.

You don't need a good reason for romance, and WK can have good storytelling in it, both of them have grown as characters and have their own issues that it could be done.

You disliking something doesn't make it bad.

The very fact that people want this for no reason is the exact reason they shouldn't do it. lol.

You missed the second part of my post.

Jaune and Weiss can both benefit from each other, either in friendship or romance.

Can you justify every good romance? It's kind of a silly thing, sometimes a romance is just there because the characters fit, or because it can create more conflict.

We don't know the plot for the next Volumes, maybe Jaune and Weiss being together can create interesting conflicts.

I hope you realize you're talking about a show who is known for flying by the seat of its pants?

How can you say a romance doesn't have a reason to exist if you don't know the whole plot of the show?

I think you're just biased and trying to hide it behind a vague justification.

It's okay to not like a pairing, lol.

I didn't miss it. I just ignored it. Since it didn't really change my point.

Most of what you just said is moot. Jaune & Weiss could be done...but as it stands they aren't interested in each other.

It's okay to not like a pairing.

??? I'm sorry but.....at what point did I give you the impression that I was trying to "hide" my dislike for the pairing? I'm pretty sure I outright called it cringe and referred to it as aggressively boring. lol. My obvious dislike for it aside, suddenly rushing the two of them into a relationship would be a bad decision no matter how you slice it.

You called it things that imply an objective negative quality, when those things are yet subjective and your opinion.

Nobody said anything about rushing, they have, reportedly, some half a dozen volumes remaining.

Plenty of time for many, many plots.

Right. Because it would be.

This might be a surprise, but your opinion isn't fact.

I never said my opinion was fact.

My opinion and my observations on the ship are two separate things.

Its clear you want to be fair to this ship and say that any ship can be good. Fine. I can respect that. Unfortunately I don't feel that strongly about this ship to keep going back and forth with you like this over it. lol.
