I honestly love that F!S is extremely militant about Ship And Let Ship, except when it's something that Tumblr likes, in which case it must be killed with fire

real consistent, guys

There are plenty ships that tumblr likes that are perfectly accepted around here. But this ship here? Has the most - oh no, tumblr buzzword - toxic fandom I have ever seen. A lot of them are fucking disgusting people.

(Anonymous) 2016-11-28 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
the MOST? Really? That's saying a lot. I don't know the fandom so I can't comment but there are some shit stain levels of shippers out there in any fandom. Can I ask what this lot is doing that is the MOST toxic? I'm genuinely curious now.

Time to step away from the keyboard, angry anon.

I honestly doubt that "Tumblr likes it" has any direct causation to people disliking the ship.

There might be a correlation in that if Tumblr likes it then there's a way bigger fandom and many more chances for there to be assholes due to sheer numbers and activity in a juggernaut ship... but don't confuse causation and correlation.

It's not the ship that's the problem in Voltron fandom, it's the "if you ship anybody with Shiro you're a child abuse apologist" wank.

a couple of anti tumblr trolls does not an anti-FS make.

Tumblr is shit, though, it's not trolls.

I'm not even in the Voltron fandom, but Klance and its shippers sound like complete cancer. I mean, when they're harassing voice actors, making endless call out posts targeting Sheith shippers, accusing them of being pedophiles, sending them actual child porn, and wishing death on a character so his VA (who apparently supported their NOTP at some point?) will be out of a job and won't show up at comic Con, that's just SU fandom tier wankery.

(Anonymous) 2016-11-28 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Don't forget deliberately trying to sabotage a charity zine created by Sheith shippers by reporting to the charity that their funds are coming from dirty pedophiles! :)

I read through almost all of this before realizing it was a repeat, because in my head I was going, "oh, another secret about how people hate Klance" lol

I don't mind Klance. I hope animation gets to be progressive in addressing LGBTQ+, since it worked wonders for Steven Universe and Yuri on Ice (the latter is "wow", considering Japan's stance on LGBTQ+ rights in general).

(Anonymous) 2016-11-27 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I might be living under a rock, but I've never seen those angry, hateful klance shippers everyone keep talking about, but I did witness the fiasco with that (poor) infamous fic called Dirty Laundry. So neither side of the fandom is free of sins.

(Anonymous) 2016-11-27 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"I haven't seen it, therefore it can't be that bad."
Meanwhile, those people who "can't be that bad" are harassing the people actually working on the show they so claim to love.

What happened with "Dirty Laundry"? I remember seeing snippets of it and finding it hilariously tumblr-y and painful in the way that it seemed as if Lance and Keith had been replaced with ultra-tumblr-approved!Lance(besides there being some casual "hot Latinx man speaks teh random Spanish because it's haaawwwwt" racism/stereotyping/whatever you wanna call it if I'm not misremembering and that was another fic)and ultra-tumblr-approved!Keith and their relationship was portrayed like a literal tumblr "consent awareness PSA" ("I'm going to kiss you now, is that okay?" "My lips are moving 15 degrees closer to yours, is that still okay?" "Our lips are about to make contact, please sign this written consent form agreement before the collision.")...

...But I don't remember hearing much if any actual fandom drama about it.

And as a side note, lmfao you must be wearing blinders if you don't see them. It's literally impossible to ship Shiro/any-Paladin-but-mostly-Keith without their shit clogging up the relationship tag and getting "anti" spam in your inbox.

*Googles "dirty laundry discourse"*

Hoooooooooly shiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Never joining Voltron fandom. Never ever ever.

I'm still baffled as to how the basis of this pairing keeps being summed up as "immature bickering=sexual tension." That ended by, what, episode 3?

The fans are guilty of this as well, so I really don't understand.

(Anonymous) 2016-11-27 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)

How else would you sum up their relationship? Lance still pretty much has an immature grudge against Keith, and Keith is kind of baffled and/or annoyed by it. They had one friendly "Moment" that got completely subverted by Lance continuing to be a brat towards Keith after that.

I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm honestly curious how else one would sum up the relationship those two have.

i'm just surprised that this show even managed to generate much of a fandom tbh, i mean it's a fun cartoon but not something i'd consider to be very shippy at all really.

(Anonymous) 2016-11-28 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
This. With the way the fandom talks about it, you'd think the show had Yuri On Ice levels of gay. But no, the show has absolutely zero homoerotic undertones. It doesn't even have romantic implications, gay or straight, period. It's bizarre.

Shiro is, like, turbo attractive to me. I was there from the first episode, and since it didn't suck, well...

Replace Shiro with any of the other characters, and you have your answer. Voltron fandom is very much about the One True Character, and the ship wars mostly come from Lance fans (Klance, or Keith/Lance people) hating the fact that Shiro is pretty popular, and that his most popular pairing breaks up fandom-juggernaut Klance (Sheith, or Shiro/Keith.) It's very much shipwar bullshit, and don't let anyone try and tell you otherwise.
