At this point I think both sides of the discourse in this fandom are fucking annoying. Y’all just jump on each other over the tiniest things like damn... Let people enjoy things even if you don’t like it

Hello! I am a klance shipper and I can confirm that it is over saturated in the fandom, it’s okay to like something but it disgusts me that other klance shippers will berate almost anyone who doesn’t ship what they like. I just don’t understand why everyone can’t just get along and enjoy voltron as a whole! Don’t stop shipping what you love just because of a bunch of assholes

Hey! Yes, I completely agree! And sorry if any of my asks/posts made it sound like I meant ALL Klance shippers are like that because obviously that’s not true, but I feel like there are more crazy Klance shippers than sane ones. I just wish there were more Klance shippers such as yourself calling out the really rude ones. Give them a wake up call and stuff. Although, even if there are Klance shippers doing that I’m sure they’re getting harassed as well for wanting the discourse to stop. I’m so sorry for the nice Klance shippers like you who don’t hate on anyone’s ships but are being labeled in the same group as the rude shippers. I guess the same thing goes to antis. Because not all antis are rude ones. They’re just antis who are discourse-free and don’t tell people to kill themselves.

What really worries me though is the fact since there’s so much shipping discourse in this fandom (specifically between Sheith and Klance shippers) the Voltron crew probably think the whole fandom is only watching the show for ships, and I think that’s just sad. Now, I couldn’t care less for either ship because I ship pretty much everything else (a.k.a the rare pairs), but if people are watching each season only for “shippy moments”, both sides will try to look for things that are considered to be “just a bro thing” or whatever to try to say “this ship is DEAD” and, in my honest opinion, every interaction Keith has with Lance or Shiro can be considered platonic. Maybe it even SHOULD be. I’m just saying that because shippers shouldn’t get their hopes up in case neither ship becomes canon. I personally don’t want anything to become canon just for the sake of discourse to fucking end. But… the question is, will it REALLY ever end?

"It's like everyone ships Klance, ugh" Yeah well maybe we ship it for a reason? Like that they are the best-developed and most interesting relationship in the show and lots of signs point towards their bond only getting stronger in upcoming seasons?? Maybe people just like shipping couples with an interesting dynamic??? Maybe we desperately want some canon LGBTQ+ rep???? Maybe we have realized that Klance has a genuine chance of being endgame????? Maybe

everybody in the fandom who's parents have large age differences watching the sheith age discourse
