#klance hate

quiero decir… no viste el show? son rivales. se odian el uno al otro

despiertanse, fans de klance. lo que ves entre ellos es tension y ira pero NO ES ROMANTICA, ESTA BIEN???

shit discourse: klance is bad because Lance is abusive

okay discourse: klance is bad because many of Lance's insecurities revolve around Keith, and while that isn't Keith's fault it would still result in competition and infighting that would be unhealthy for the two of them

good discourse: klance is bad because it's an overdone, boring dynamic that is seen over and over again

advanced discourse: klance is bad because Lance is a wholly antagonistic and disrespectful character who has fostered an air of needless competition and excessive mutual dislike between the two of them. He is so obsessed with his own image that he repeatedly and intentionally disrespects Allura with continued empty flirtations, gives every other female-coded alien similar treatment, and has selected Keith as his "rival" purely because Keith was a good pilot and Lance feels that he has to have a male counterpart to fight with and show off to "the ladies" by defeating. The number of positive interactions between the two in canon are minimal at best, and klance shippers overlook the very real enmity between the two in favor of shipping the two lithe, conventionally attractive teenage boys together in an entirely out of character manner that makes the two of them sweet and sappy with each other with overwhelming frequency. Also, this "twinkshipping" that happens is a product of yaoi subculture, fetishizing mlm relations between two characters that girls and women in fandom themselves find sexually appealing. It is an unrealistic relationship dynamic based in the arousal of the viewer and nothing grounded in canon.

expert tier: klance is bad because Lance is very clearly the annoying Straight™ friend

me: "Oh this is a good post I'll reblog it"

The post: uses k/ance as an example of a "healthy relationship based on mutual affection and based in canon"

001 | Send me a fandom and I will tell you my:

Favorite character: shiro

Least Favorite character: whoever the hel  l tried to cover up the kerberos misison honestly like. i get that the galra empire is just Bad. but like, that coverup makes me viscerally Angery

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): heith, hunk x shay, shiro x healing, lance x having a beagch party for all his friends and family, the holt family x being alive and reunited

Character I find most attractive: allura

Character I would marry: allura

Character I would be best friends with: shiro

A random thought: pidge would be a slytherin and i would fight u

An unpopular opinion: when people were headcanoning shiro as 19? that made sense to me as a traumatized, hypervigialent 19 year old. and that he just aged fast physically due to trauma. like iget the “why would anyone think he’s 19?” but at 19 that was kinda? comforting? to think that he was my age and messed up but still a hero. i’m glad he’s confirmed 25 though because if the galaxy garrison sent a teenager on a kerberos mission iw ould have to punch them all.

My canon OTP: none? alas ples make hunk gay

Non-canon OTP: heith

Most badass character: paul blarkon mall zarkon

Pairing I am not a fan of: tbh.... k///lan///ce/// and sh///e///ith. which makes browsing the voltron tags hard

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): hunk >:(
