Oscar fans ship rosegarden.

Ruby fans don't.

Because RG as a pairing exists for the sole benefit of Oscar, Ruby doesn't get anything out of it. That's why everything about the pairing is Oscar-centric. Nothing in the ship is equal. Ruby does all the heavy lifting, and only Oscar benefits. Rg fans operate under the belief that Oscar benefits Ruby just by existing, his presence is a gift. Oscar has a crush, and that means that Ruby should date him, he's earned it. But she doesn't truly get anything of value out of it.

Just like with Summer or Winter in relation to Hummingbird or Snowbird, the most important aspect of the pairing is how one half of the ship, Qrow, is benefiting or developing. Or rewarding them for good behavior or character development. While the other half is more or less an accessory in service to the focus character. Or a trophy.

This is why Ruby's feelings, or more specifically her lack of romantic feelings or interest is never brought up. Because her feelings in regards to the ship, and her character largely isn't really a factor. She's just there for Oscar to admire, or pine for, or get comforted by. If rg fans actually cared about Ruby's feelings, they wouldn't push it so hard, because Ruby has no romantic interest in Ozcar. Ruby has no romantic interest in anybody, least of all Ozcar.

Pinky promise that you will step on me? ;)

“Grimm are also attracted to this”

Ozcar: For the record, I hate this.

Jaune: I dig this!

Qrow: Stabbing.

Ozcar: That’s not an emotion, that’s more of an activity. See, Emotions are more of a feeling.
