Submitted by an anonymous dear disciple
I hate that the first thing I thought when I saw this was “well at least they didn’t secretly record them & take photos of them!” because god, that is literally such a low bar.
(Anon who asked for Keith stan Klancers here, sorry, I sent too early) I'm mainly looking for foreign artists since western ones tend to be antis and only like fanon Klance.
You’re out of luck, dear disciple.
The klantis have started to infest the pure untainted Klance shippers of the East.
Encouraging them to make terrible content, getting them to like/retweet their cringey Leakira stuff, etc.
Or they harassed & browbeated the eastern Klancers into deletion for DARING to stray outside the monoship of Klance.
Ari seems to be safe, despite being prominently featured on the antis’ “BAD SHIPPERS” blocklist. She doesn’t seem to care & she’s too popular to be affected by them hating on her either.
Unky’s a great one, too. But uhhh, fair warning, klantis love to suck up to her & are trying their hardest to brainwash her. She seems resistant to it though (mostly because I think that she doesn’t have any context on what they’re talking about & doesn’t understand why they insist on weird fanons like “brotherly Shiro & Keith”).
A few of the Klance artists sell merch here: http://alice-books.com/item/list/all?genre=Voltron
So you could use that as a good starting point to find Klance artists (& then just see what kind of artists that they follow & retweet from to find more!).
(You posted it a while back but I just saw it) Your post about how antis chose a rivalship to be the Healthy™ relationship is 100% tea, because oh my goodness, it floors me. I have been in rival and also "hate-at-first-sight" ships since junior high and remember getting hate for them like drarry, narusasu, dramione, shizaya, zutara, tahnorra, etc. for years, and now, I am in the klance ship and antis are treating it like it's Pure™. Like wtf...
A conversation Lord Pastel Lance had with two friends about Klance & rivalshipping:
F1: No no, the problem is that rivalships are RIVALS because the core is RESPECT.Lance and Keith do not.
LPL: Ah true.
F1: “I ACKNOWLEDGE YOU” is the main theme of EVERY rival ship.I hate you but I ACKNOWLEDGE you.Lance and Keith deny each other’s existence as often as they can.The respect is crucial for it to turn from enemies to friends to lovers.
F2:“The respect is crucial for it to turn from enemies to friends to lovers.“ ^This!
LPL: Dang, you got a point.There’s no respect to be found in Klance fics at all.I think that’s why Keith cucking Lance is so popularBecause they’re so used to fan content without respect in it.LPL: I mean like Keith at least tried to acknowledge Lance’s existence in canon.He just gave up on it because Lance refused to do the same& kept denying him even during serious moments or ones where Keith was actively suffering.There’s a weird kind of helpless resignation to Keith & Lance’s dynamicthat really doesn’t work for rival ships.F2:“There’s a weird kind of helpless resignation to keith & lance’s dynamic that really doesn't work for rival ships.“That’s a really good way to put it.A lot of the dynamic does feel sort of like they’re not actively choosing so much as just shrugging and going along with the rut they’re stuck in.F1: Yep.Lance has decided they’ll never get along and Keith is resigned to it.The change HAS to come from Lance but Lance stans and Klance idiots deny it.
LPL: There’s no fire to it.It’s just….depressing.
F1: Rivalships are also MUTUAL. Klance is heavily Lance-focused and not the least bit mutual at all.
Can’t seem to reblog your post (tumblr fucking up again?), but here’s what We had to say about it:
Well that’s unpleasant. @shalliekeith (or someone else, We forget) already gave Us a heads-up about dchan being an anti a while back.Don’t flood the ship tags with hate & remember to tag properly (use slashes or dashes, not spaces).
I just checked Briggon Snows twitter and he's still using klance to stay relevant that's just sad.
To any dumb klancers/klantis actually falling for his tweets:
He will NEVER be able to make Klance canon even if he was magically put in charge of the whole damn show & not just acting in it.
Also, do you really think that the staff is going to hire someone who caters to the same demographic that repeatedly calls them abusers & pedophiles on twitter? Really?!?!?
Congratulations, anti-community. It wasn’t bad enough that you didn’t care about charities or the homeless, but you had to drag actual fucking children into it.
So a 18 year old can’t consent to a relationship with a 25 year old, but asking a 9 year old “hey do you think your parents would be cool if I posted videos of you online?”, now that TOTALLY counts as consent!
Out of principle, We refuse to show screencaps of the archived tweet thread because of the context, but here is the archived link to prove that We are NOT making up all this information.

Archive does NOT archive videos, it only saves them as screencaps/photos, but that is STILL not okay!!!

So what happened was that yesterday, an anti by the twitter handle @ keithkog (and yes, this asshole IS yet another member of vorgtron), who was babysitting a couple of girls (ages 9 & 10), & then forced them to watch Voltron Legendary Defender with her even though, as she tweeted:
>they didn’t want to watch it
>they thought it was for older kids
>they thought that it was too weird & confusing
>one of them didn’t want to even talk about it
And then she claimed that she educated them about Sheith & Shidge being “disgusting” & that the kids, without ANY prompting, declared that Sheith was SEXUAL ASSAULT.
And she, the babysitter, who by her OWN admission - knew the kids’ parents for years, thought that there was nothing wrong with that.
AN ANTI BABYSITTING CHILDREN THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG ABOUT THE KIDS TALKING ABOUT SEXUAL ASSAULT WITHOUT ANY PROMPTING.
AND THOUGHT THAT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO CONTINUE USING A FUCKING CARTOON TO EDUCATE THE KIDS ON SEXUAL ASSAULT, WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF THE PARENTS.
She then proceeded to brag that she had turned the kids into full blown Klancers after showing them 3 “Klance” scenes (& constantly making up bullshit about how Keith & Lance would interact in later seasons) & that the kids wanted to re-enact “Klance” scenes (specifically Keith fetching Lance’s lion in s1) themselves.
>>Why is this disgusting?
She is a teenager, showing 2 small children “Klance” scenes. This will inevitably include the infamous elevator scene from season 2 (she tweeted that the kids mentioned Keith & Lance “keep fighting”). NO KLANCER has EVER looked at that scene in a pure nonsexual way. (It’s Keith & Lance shirtless & in swim trunks bitching & fighting at each other, seriously).
Bad enough, that you’re using a cartoon to educate kids on flawed biased “sexual assault” education, but openly thirsting over Klance in front of them & making them ship it is beyond heinous.
>>>And now that shit has been, as said before, archived PERMANENTLY on the Internet.
She did NOT ask permission from the kids’ parents, despite claiming to have known them for years. CHILDREN CANNOT FUCKING CONSENT. YOU’D THINK THAT SHE’D KNOW THAT GIVEN THAT THE WHOLE “THE PALADINS CAN’T CONSENT TO SHALADIN SHIPS, THEY’RE UNDERAGED!” THING IS THE ANTIS’ WHOLE SCHTICK.
She then claimed that the kids were “very mature for their age” (EW) & knew about sexual assault (EW) enough that they had “very” important opinions about it (WTF) based on the kids’ own AGE & EXPERIENCE (Red flags, red flags everywhere).
http://archive.is/Y9Lf3 + http://archive.is/A14ct
And as you can see, she keeps CONTRADICTING HER OWN WORDS.
The Aftermath: cue antis defending that person, pulling out the minor card whenever someone argues back with ACTUAL logic & pointing out that the antis or keithkog kept contradicting themselves.

So far, the only people who seem to realize how skeevy & wrong this is are the shaladins/neutrals & NOT the fucking antis, who claim to be protecting kids.

I watched the video before it was taken down and it was so obvious that the anti fed that kid some lines and then recorded them parroting their words so they could be smug on the internet that "even little kids are smarter than shaladins". No kid looks at two characters in a cartoon and thinks that if they dated it would be "sexual assault" (literally words used by the kid in the video). They way they presented the situation to make the kids think it was something wrong ("remember how i told you they were like brothers? you think it would be okay for an OLD GUY like that to date a 17 year old?") was also pretty disgusting.
There were also other videos where the kid was talking about Keith and Lance "flirting" and saying they're gonna date, which was also pretty obviously the babysitter's doing. The fact that they forced the kids to watch the show even though they didn't want to creeped me out as well.
Antis, you are literally just ONE more incident away from an actual fucking arrest.
If you can’t fucking clean up your side of the fandom, don’t be surprised when you get blasted for it.
this post took 10 years off my life and gave me indigestion. not everything is about kl@nce holy fuck klanceconsumedme. tumblr. com/post/174840089307/heres-my-tea-about-the-voltron-teaser
But everything IS about Klance, dear disciple.
The universe? Klance
The showwriters saying that they already finished writing the show years in advance & couldn’t put in Klance if they wanted to? Klance

Note: the artists in the screenshots may not necessarily be other antis, however - their content falls under the standards that antis all approve of, so seeing other antis steal it & slam it just because it isn’t klance is pretty fucked up.
