Remembering Fandom Drama - VLD
Aug. 18th, 2025 04:35 pmHere I go again, making multiple posts in a day. To be honest, I don't care LMAO I'm just remembering my earlier years on LJ and making posts, even those with just memes (memes, quiz results, etc.) and no other purpose.
Current reason for this post is remembering the absolute ridiculousness in the VLD Sheith (Voltron: Legendary Defender) fandom when I first joined. A Bottom!Shiro week occurred and then someone tried to do a Bottom!Keith week and suddenly people had such an issue with it, either because 'that character is already feminized so much' or 'that's already the standard' and so on.
As I remember things, I'll share them here for posterity, but my god. The drama never ended while I was in that fandom. So much drama and fandom wank. Both for my OTP, Shiro/Keith, but also among other ships and between ships. A lot of it originating with the KL (Keith/Lance) group of fans.
I made some outstanding friends while in that fandom and I cannot regret that at all. And I can't regret Sheith at all either.
