you know the wildest thing about the Voltron fandom is that there is actual discourse about whether or not shipping a minor with a 25 year old is okay .
people actually debate this
they don’t look at it and automatically say “this is wrong and potentially harmful to younger and older viewers alike “ they reduce it to shipping wars and cower behind the “Let people ship what they want! “ curtain instead of acknowledging what the fuck they are actually perpetrating .
..if you fail to recognize that calling out pedophillia is FAR more important then stopping “shipping wars “ cause everyone deserves to ship what they want no matter how gross you can kindly fuck off
if you are someone who ships something and thinks everyone is an “anti “ for doing fucking the right thing and calling out your gross bullshit you can also, not so kindly ,fuck off .
if you are someone who says “its just a show “ to defend your BS and for some reason fail to recognize how impactful a show and its environment (like a fandom) can be to a child and how they see themselves/the world/ other people , then you are dumb as hell and can also fuck off.
Imagine being 14 and all your friends are telling you this 25 year old and 15 year old would be cute together. Imagine how scared you would be of everyone around you or even worse , imagine being a kid and thinking an adult hitting on you is okay because you believe they are nice and get along with them , its not wrong or harmful because of *insert shiro being a good guy example * . this is what you people are spreading . how irresponsible do you have to be to think your “rights as a shipper “ is more important then that.
remember when shane dawson did blackface on a regular basis
Except this was a decade ago, and back then, no one realized it was wrong… But we all learnes and grew. He has genuinely apologized and moved on from that part of his life.
He’s one of the most genuine people on YouTube. His goal has always been to share love and laughter. Not hate.
Just a reminder, as someone who’s been a fan from the start, till now.
i’m pretty fucking certain people knew blackface was bad in the long ago, archaic year of 2010
the american government enlists me for a special mission and they tie me to a giant bullseye target on the ground and starts airdropping tons upon tons of cheese right into my screaming mouth
There’s a comparison graphic
1 like = 1 prayer for the huge cheese to turn around and eat the government
I just learned the origin of pink lemonade and I need you all to hear this.
So this dude selling concessions at a circus back in like 1857 ran out of lemonade and he needed water to make more, but there wasn’t a stream or water pump, BUT the BAREBACK HORSE RIDER had just washed her pink tights in a bucket of water, staining the water pink. So, being the enterprising fella he was, dude just threw in the lemons and sugar and told everyone it was special strawberry lemonade. Well, the circus patrons saw pink lemonade and thought, “That’s fucking amazing!” and he ended up selling twice as much lemonade than usual.
To reiterate.
This dude sold people sweaty horse crotch water and it was so popular it became an Actual Fucking Thing.
