the she*th “controversy” isn’t a ship war. it’s an embodiment of an actual real-world issue.
Why do antis genuinely think ships in Voltron (a cartoon that isn't even very popular outside of Tumblr and stuff) are going to harm a real child. Children now a days use their phones, and on the Apple Store and Play Store, Tumblr is rated 17+. For the desktop version, and in the EU you have to be 16+. In other words, kids shouldn't even be on tumblr because of all the mature things on here. Tumblr isn't even that popular of a website to begin with.
And even if these kids are 13+, do antis really think they're going to let a cartoon influence their love life? When I was 7, I had a crush on Kakashi from Naruto and Inuyasha from Inuyasha. 7 is way more of an impressionable age, and I wanted to marry them (cringey when I think back on it, but I was 7 so it's excuseable). Was I influeneced to date some guy more than twice my age? No, because I was smarter than that even at 7. If some old guy, creepy or nice,came up to me I would know not to interact with them. If your parents teach you about stranger danger, then the kids should know not to interact with older men if they are alone.
Is it the internet's responsibility to raise these kids who are actually suppose to be 13+ in the U.S (or 17+ by Google Play and the Apple Store) and 16+ according to the EU? No. Their parents should be monitoring what their child consumes on the internet, at least to a certain extent.
And even so, Sheith is one of the least "problematic" ships in...well, anything. They are two consenting adults, in the context of shipping them.
If Antis really want to see problematic, please be directed to the Loud House tag (featuring very disgusting, actual incest porn of underaged kids from a Nickelodeon cartoon airing on TV). Some of the people in that tag are so disgusting...but i hardly see backlash against them. And I'm sure the Loud House is more popular amongst kids than Voltron (my neices and nephews watch it, but not Voltron)
