the more research I do on fandom and shipping culture the more I realize it all comes back to fucking voltron. because of course it does.
#of course the insanely toxic fandom changed shipping culture for the worse.
#everything I've seen suggests that around 2016 is when fandom culture shifted from “live and let live” to “your ship is morally wrong die”
#and that the terms proship and antiship came. From Voltron. Specifically over shiro/keith which yeah that makes sense
#this is so insanely interesting to me honestly but I can't even be surprised
#the shipping drama in that fandom was insane
#I know everyone thinks of atla when they think of ship wars but like
#the impact of the Voltron fandom on shipping culture cannot be understated
#for better or for worse (it's for worse)
#there was other stuff too I'm not saying the voltron fandom was the single cause of the rise of pro/antishippers but
#it was Definitely a very big factor
#anyways I have read multiple academic papers talking about this so I can drop them if anyone is interested

#also I can shit on Voltron because I was in the fandom during the worst of it. I served my time motherfuckers
