The whole history of the VLD month discourse as explained by Lord Pastel Lance
(requested by a beloved disciple, We apologize for the lateness of this post)
Also, this has nothing to do with wlwvoltron, which is just an anti blog, not a ship month blog.
Right, so the entire VLD ship month discourse stemmed from one thing: the Studio Mir incident with Klance14.
> Klancer antis create a blog to apologize to Studio Mir, named after Klance14.
> Klancer antis create the Klance Positivity Month (antis only) to boost the tarnished reputation of the Klancedom for June (nearly nobody joins & KPM is just blehhhh as a result).
> People get mad because KPM was created during Pride Month & because Klance was already the most popular ship in the fandom & didn’t need MORE positivity. Plus, there were already previous Klance events for it, which added up to about 2 months worth of Klance in total for 2017.
> Sheith fans create Sheith Month for August. People whine about it a little because ship events are usually a week long, not a month long. (It was created to celebrate the anniversary of Josh Keaton naming the ship & Chris Palmer drawing the “Shiro loves you, baby. He is looking at Keith” art, so at least the creation of it made SOME sense.)
> Antis get pissy over it & post the Sheith Month Calendar everywhere to make fun of it & deride it. They create vld-wlw-month to block it, claiming that they created it solely to promote wlw*, despite one of the prompts being Broganes. That prompt was later changed because of anon complaints, with the mod insisting that she only added Broganes because a friend really liked it.
- That makes zero sense as a prompt, Broganes is extremely limiting & only refers to Shiro & Keith.
- If you wanted to write about wlw sisters, why didn’t you just make the prompt “Sisters” so that Lance & his siblings & the Holts could be included as well?
- That edit job you did on the calendar was so bad that you can still see where the B in Broganes was.
> Shaladins create a fully inclusive voltronwlwmonth so that people can draw genderbends, klancebians, wlw shaladins, wlw pallura, etc.
> The mod of vld-wlw-month slanders voltronwlwmonth & gets her anti friends to condemn it & make up lies about it, calling it a bad month run by a cis straight girl. (The mod of voltronwlwmonth is none of these.) voltronwlwmonth is spammed with anon hate as a result.
> Antis are mad that the mod of voltronwlwmonth doesn’t back down & delete, so they create mlm-month-of-voltron for September. Which is really REALLY fucking stupid because Slash month is basically EVERY month on this blue hellsite, that’s why Femslash Febuary exists.
*Reminder that these antis were the ones calling Bex, an out & open lesbian who plays a lesbian character on TV & supports the LGBTQ+ community, things like a “d-ke”, “hairy lesbian”, “snake” & “homophobic” after she called them out over the Klance14 incident, the “power bottom”** Shoe incident on Josh Keaton’s instagram & the jackass anon who demanded that she apologize & grovel to them after the guidebook’s official canon ages, AS DETERMINED BY THE WRITERS OF VLD & NOT A THIRD PARTY TOY FACTORY, came out (which made Sheith the only true adult x adult ship & Klance a minor x adult ship, but antis don’t care about that ofc).
^Seriously, just search the tags on tumblr, yourself. Just looking at all those posts makes Us physically ill.
**Not ONLY is this stupid, but it’s clear that these so-called wlw antis don’t know shit about how gay sex works. Only mlm can power bottom? Saying the phrase “power bottom” is fetishizing them? That’s like saying the word “bear” fetishizes mlm when it is an category that they themselves use with each other. A dude can power bottom in a relationship with a woman. A woman can power bottom with another woman, too. Pegging. Strap-ons. Double-ended dildos.Â
It’s your own fault for desexualizing lgtbq+ relationships to just handholding & cheek kisses (& if the characters are gay women, ranting about how much they hate dick & love being gay). <- aka all the fanfic submissions for vld-wlw-month
Some of you people are ADULTS. And yet your lgtbq+ & STRAIGHT sex education is utterly abysmal. GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND. USE IT.
