#sheith is gross you guys need actual help

[komohine]

How are sheith shippers fetishizing gay men. Are you delusional? Misinformed? Lacking IQ?

Keith is not Asian btw, While we're at it, please prove to me all the damage sheith has done to the gay Asian male community.

Ok considering i have sheith shippers/defenders dni in my intro post and I really dont feel like wasting my time today ill try to keep it short and wont be responding to shit like this down the line. Next time save your breath though. Because idk if you knew this but dni stands for Do Not Interact. You are interacting. Stop that.

1) they’re brothers. Sure it’s revealed much later in the seasons, but the point is they have an incredibly strong familial relationship. If you started off shipping sheith when they weren’t explicitly defined as brothers, fine. But after their familial relationship is revealed the choice to continue shipping those two specifically comes off as strange as hell. Even stranger when you consider the multiple other available male characters that are not only more age appropriate but also dont have a familial relationship with them lmao. Also Shiro canonically gets married to a man. So the choice to continue shipping sheith has to go beyond just wanting to guys to kiss. The next common denominator? They’re both asian, so I must conclude that the need to ship them comes from that. The next next common denominator is that they’re related and some of you just have a thing for incest. But i still have faith in humanity so i wont accuse you of that even though i occasionally feel the urge to. I refuse to take “but but they have the most in show relationship development” as a reason because that just means you’re too fucking lazy to think of your own scenarios. Which is not true, because the amount of devious ass sheith shit I unfortunately stumble across means your collective neurons are actively firing away. Just for the wrong thing. You guys really saw the only real developed relationship (i use this word generally and not strictly romantically) between two guys in the show and decided that it must have romantic undertones. Beyond how its harmful to irl men and deters them from emotional maturity out of fear that any non toxic relationship between two men is automatically seen as romantic by some people, it’s just fundamentally mid yaoi because you guys cant fathom that 1) romance isn’t a core part of the show beyond allurance 2) that two guys can talk to eachother while smiling without wanting to fuck. Yall are in the same league as those guys who are addicted to step sister p0rn.

1.5) bcs i know someones gonna ask “why do you think sheith is incest”, its because shiro fulfills the kinship role of “sibling” for keith, or even “parent”. From here-on out simplified as “guardian”. Within anthropology there are numerous kinship systems which determine which family member is called what. Ex. In the hawaiian system, every male family member is called “father” and every female “mother”. No matter if they birthed you or not. In the linear (also known as esk/mo but that’s a word with heavy history) system, your parents are “mom/dad”, siblings are defined as “brother/sister”, and everyone else is “aunt/uncle” or “cousin”. This is the system commonly used in the west. Kinship systems define a lot of things, from inheritance to respect hierarchies. Another key thing they determine is incest taboo. The range of which this taboo applies differs depending on culture, which is why you’ll hear of two people, for example, cousins getting married. In the west that’s considered taboo, but it may not be in another culture. Kinship and its taboos also apply to non blood related relationships. Hence adoptive siblings, etc. And keith quite explicitly refers to shiro as his brother. Given the context of those scenes, it can be deduced that it’s not said in a way that is 1) casual, as the lingo would more likely be “sup bro” or the tone of voice would be significantly more casual, 2) indicative of anything other than a familial relationship, for if keith considered him a brother in arms he would’ve said something more along the lines up “on your feet, brother”. Keith saying “you’re like my brother” AND THEN DOUBLING DOWN TO “You’re my brother,” said in such a sincere tone of voice leaves little to be debated.

Tldr: Shiro fulfills a guardian kinship role for Keith and thus the incest taboo applies to him.

1.6) also like? It’d be weird either way. Going by their canon age diff (season 1, 25-18 = SEVEN YEARS), and considering shiro met keith in middle school, and going by the oldest middle school age (15) bcs im feeling generous, shiro wouldve still been 22. If they just met once and never again till seasom 1, fine. Ship sheith however you want. But the fact is they met and then they formed a bond when shiro was significantly older and in a position of power over keith. Shiro was a mentor and guardian to keith whether you like it or not, and he stayed that way from when keith was young and impressionable until he was an adult. Yk what thats called? Raising a child. Imagine shipping that. Crazy. Imagine a 9 year old being raised by a 17 year old babysitter bcs of his absent parents. Suddenly when the 9 year old turns 18 he starts dating his babysitter. Thats freaky as hell, and i only increased the age gap by 2 years. Literally nothing else changed.

2) now why would they include a non aapi character in the mash up? Also, his source character from the og voltron is named “Keith Akira Kogane”. What non asian person is named that?

3) also the fact you need me to show you damage.. same vibe as “wdym he’s stalking you he’s just being friendly!! Show me how his so called stalking has put your life in danger”. Like imagine needing actual damage before even considering something bad.

Preach! I can not stress this enough. I totally agree with everything they say. In my experience through out many fandoms, I have never been part of a fandom where the shipping is so TOXIC and homestuck had so many ships and timelines that confirmed or denied them. I love voltron, the animation, the storytelling, the involvement of the cast and crew with the fandom, the ability this show has to make me cry and feel for each character everytime a new season airs is unbelievable.

However, it is sad and disappointing whenever I see on tumblr or Twitter that a VA is being harassed or threatened by these "fellow fans". I was mad when I heard that a storyboard in steven universe quit because of the harassment they were receiving from fans (i think it was anti lapadoters, idk) but when I heard about poor Josh Keaton and his family getting harassed and threatened, the studio getting blackmailed by a klance shipper and now sweet and inspirational Bex getting bombarded by this shipping madness...I am now LIVID!

IT IS NOT OK TO SEND DEATH THREATS OR TO HARASS PEOPLE! PERIOD!

It is never the answer! Not to VA'S. Not to the creators or other staff. Not to shipper or supporters of a ship that you dont like.

IT. IS .NOT. OK!

And I'm not just talking about the klanti's. Oh no, cause I know there are others In the voltron fandom who are so obsessed about their ship that they will harass even innocent klance shippers, ones who are actually respectful!

Look, I am a multishipper. I mostly ship Sheith, but I ship allurance, hunay, shadam, hidge/punk and sometimes klance. And for the rest, I support. Let shippers ship. There are some exclusions where shippers make the ship a bit too gross, but I dont go out of my way to scream "hey your ship is disgusting and here is why you are a terrible person just for visualizing this!"... I just ignore it and go on with my day.

With that said, I dont care if my ship becomes canon or not, I mean it would be awesome as heck if it did but it doesnt matter that much to me. We should focus more on the show and on how it has accomplished so much than on which ship will be canon or how can I harass this VA more so that way my ship will be canon. I mean we just got a canon LGBT character, that ALONE is a big accomplish ment for all of us. So instead of harassing Bex about our ships we should be thanking them for the huge help they had in making this possible.

I kinda lost track of where this was going, but I hope you guys can agree that this toxicity between shippers needs to stop. And if you are a fan who has harassed or threatened a shipper or cast or crew member, then ask yourself this: "is what I am doing making a POSITIVE impact on the fandom and community as a whole? Will my actions show that this fandom is a great and inclusive one? Will my actions prove that I am a thoughtful and respectable human being?"

If you answer to either is No..then just don't do it.

Thank you for listening to my rant

Hey Voltron Fandom, FUCK YOU!

Hello Voltron fandom, I have a few … nice, words to say to you. To start us off on a good note… What the actual fuck is wrong with some of you? How DARE you think it okay to send the staff and VA’s DEATH THREATS all because your precious little Klance isn’t the LGBT+ rep you wanted. You better be glad we even fucking got it. If you have EVER sent death threats to any of the Voltron staff, unfollow me now or let me know so I can block you and never have anything to do with you. Just because you aren’t going to get your own way doesn’t give you a fucking excuse now, does it? If you think what you’re doing is going to help your cause, think again idiots. It’s more likely to get the show CANCELLED then get your stupid fucking Klance. KLANCE IS NOT THE END GAME OF THE SHOW, NEVER HAS BEEN NEVER WILL BE. The show has most likely already all been animated and recorded and they can’t change it now, so go cry into your pillows about how they played you. YOU ARE TAKING IT WAY TOO FAR! Get some help if what you think you are doing is funny or correct. STOP WITH THESE STUPID SHIP WARS AND LET PEOPLE SHIP WHAT YOU WANT BECAUSE YOU AREN’T GOING TO CHANGE THEIR MINDS. One ship isnt better over another. The only CANON ship we have as of now is Shiro and Adam. That is the only proper one. I can’t believe how God awful thos fandom is. It digusts me beyond belief that people think it’s okay. Voltron is a beautiful show with incredible animation skills, interactive VA’s who SPOIL us to death with what they do, amazing animation, and awesome characters. Accept the fact Klance will not be end game because of what you have done. Accept the fact you are a toxic and terrible person if you have ever send nasty things to any of the staff. ALSO, WHO THE FUCK SAID YOU GET TO DECIDE WHO PEOPLE SHIP AND WHO THEY DON’T?! LET PEOPLE SHIP WHAT THEY WANT! How many times do I have to say that?! There are some ships I don’t like but get this … I DON’T GO AND HATE ON THEM AND TELL PEOPLE WHO SHIP IT TO GO FUCKING KILL THEMSELVES. I am so majorly disappointed in this fandom. I hope you all learn your fucking lesson soon, or I hope it REALLY bites you in the ass. 🙃
