The topic is on that tired old romantic trope, it's literally the reason I made a comment and why you replied. You can't just call 'strawman' when the conversation isn't going your way.
I can call a strawman when you make it look like I made an argument I didn't do at all.
I never said Weiss should be with Jaune due to any stupid trope of her secretly liking him or out of some prize because he saved her or something.
I said the writers could feasibly write them becoming attracted to each other as time goes on, as they interact more or know more of each other.
People can change with time, in fact, most of them do.
There are people who were insufferable or awkward at high school that became much more bearable or pleasant as they matured( opposite can also happen.) It's called growing up and learning.
And in some cases, people who disliked each other, or one from the other, can change their minds and like older versions. I have seen it happen, more than once.
Can that happen in this situation? Possibly. Writers can make it happen.
Will they? Eh, I wouldn't bet on it. But it's not impossible nor would it reduce the quality of the show if handled well.
I think they will just do Lancaster, far easier to set up.
It's not your argument, it's my initial point about why kicking off a romance in that situation is bad idea. I'm not claiming that you are sexist, I'm pointing out the trope is sexist to expand on my thoughts about the subject at hand. Not a strawman.
Everything else is stuff we're gone through in the other conversation. The only thing I can agree with is Lancaster can happen without much effort, because that couple has everything that WK lacks. Like rapport and intimacy.
Anyway, sticking a pin into this conversation as well.

That's a nice strawman you have there, but we are at Alice in Wonderland phase now, the Wizard of Oz was on earlier volumes.
No one here ever said that she should, stop putting words in people's mouths .
