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.

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!!!

http://archive.is/pr4Kj <- the original call-out post on twitter

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).

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.

Bonus information from FFA about the video: https://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/287703.html?thread=1626150615#cmt1626150615

(Anonymous) 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.
