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#fandom#fandom meta#fandom culture#lilac post#also I can shit on Voltron because I was in the fandom during the worst of it.
