twitter.com/TheTimHedrick/status/791351563285508096 Age discourse over

gotta love the mice

>imaginations are valid
Keith is 19 in my head then, and no one can take that away from me

Would you wear this

Gotta love the lice

>everyone is apologizing for how shitty the fandom is
>@TheTimHedrick ugh i cant believe some of yall r using this tweet as if tim is saying its ok to ship shiro/paladin=pedophilia ships..

It's physically impossible for antis to be civil for one second, isn't it?

You couldn't pay me to wear that.

>just confirms the age ranges of late teens and early 20s
>says imagining whatever ages you want is okay
>tells people to play nice

Seems like it's pretty okay for people to ship whatever and think what they want for me. If Lauren is okay with this, so am I. Antis can go fuck themselves

When were we told? Is this a new thing?

No it just is him confirming age video and refusing to go into further details and that none of this matters.

People are interpreting this as Keith definitely being a minor, even though that's not confirmed.

>search Sheith on tumblr
>Sheithers saying the discourse is over because the Paladins are confirmed late teens
>Sheithers saying they're confirmed 16 and trying to rationalize it
>anti-Sheithers saying the Paladins are confirmed 16 and Sheith is now officially dead

Fucking nothing is over, no one seems to even know what ages are actually official and there's still mass confusion. Why can't these niggers just say "Keith and Lance are __teen years old"?

Then we weren't actually told their ages. They need to just suck it up, declare everyone 19 and move the fuck on. I'm extremely bored with this retarded drama.

Yep. I wish instead of the "they're confirmed, but you can use your imagination" he just fucking said "use your imagination." But oh well.

Wanting to please all sides. That tactic just makes things worse though.

I'm hoping that the discourse will just die down now.
Sheithfags got told the fan video is real so they shouldn't try to fight anyone on if it was legit or not.
Antis are gonna stay butthurt since their rivalship shippers spirits are'nt broken. Sheithfags just need to block the faggots in their tags and enjoy their content.

Just curious, but were you also Gompers-user?

I'm hoping we can go back to calling discourse wank.

Not really. Antis are using this post as ammo to continue the discourse :(

Maybe.

Ignore/block them and move on

>tumblr drama
People are going to interpret the characters ages to their will.
This is why you have wank in the first place, stop caring about what tumblr thinks.

that is pretty much I am doing now :/

Good enough, Space Mouse.

>living on tumblr
that's your fault. its literally the worst place to enjoy a fandom. tumblr's only useful for porn and art that you can't find on pixiv

Yeah, I just use it for art collecting.

A lot of artists are getting fed up with it, though, and are exclusively posting on Twitter

It's basically a meme how people in voltron threads completely ignore OPs to talk about whatever they want.

Yeah, if antis insist on Keith being a minor, then they're basically shooting themselves in the foot because it means they're supporting a show whose producer is okay with shippy art of an adult/minor ship (not to mention the VAs who tweeted or snapchatted about the ship and all the directors who liked Sheith art on twitter and instagram and follow Sheith fanartists). If the staff doesn't have a problem with the ship, then I don't see why fans shouldn't be able to ship it.

>dat pic related
Ha! I get it.

They also posted video versions of those interviews from SDCC with Tim Hedrick, Lauren Montgomery and Joaquim dos Santos.

Cool, thanks user!

These threads are basically tumblr blogs for butthurt Sheith shits who don't seem to even watch the show.

Yeah. There's some real shit going down today with getting fucking Tim involved, so I'll give them this.

I really hope this is the last thread to have shipping drama.

...

...

...

Sorry to bring forth more of this shit but Dos Santos and Lauren are the only ones to say what is canon, not Tim.

Dos Santos has said this. There is plenty of other evidence from staff, vas, etc that imply Shiro isn't much older.

Just think what you want

>Just think what you want
oh we do, maybe try posting this in the sheith tag where it matters?

>Tumblr image file

ok.

playbuzz.com/nortlov10/which-voltron-legendary-defender-character-are-you

So who did you guys get? I'm apparently Pidge

I got Shiro when I took this last time. Acceptable.

I got Lance. on the question about who would you fight I of course chose shiro, if only to flush his head down a toilet

Keef

You're an unlikable prick.

You have the personality of drying paint.

This Steven universe Keith already wants to fuck Shiro on their first date
>You're an unlikeable prick
H-hey

I don't remember if Dos Santos was in the video, but Lauren definitely was, so your comment doesn't discredit Tim's tweet because he's very likely going off that video, too.

I think at first they didn't think of it as a big deal, going by your pic and their lukewarm "yeah sure" reaction in the video. But now that it's gotten this crazy, I imagine they don't want to be specific because they'll only be pleasing one side in the end, which could get ugly.

I'm not saying it's discredited at all, don't get me wrong. The point is entirely that there is contradictory info and the vast majority implies that Shiro isn't much older.

"Slightly older" may be interpreted in different ways. Maybe 5-7 years isn't that big of an age gap to them. Anyway, it doesn't matter, the staff is clearly okay with people shipping Sheith, so just interpret it however you want.

Staff doesn't even get why we care.

Do they not see people doxxing others for liking certain combinations of characters, for reasons directly related to their ages?

I'm sure zarkon's voice actor and josh keaton sees the drama.
sheith shippers go to them for comfort and jokes, but for Tim and Lauren I don't think they see what goes on in the fandom.

image dropped

No they know about it. What I mean is, I've been told that they don't see why it's an issue in fandom. They don't get why we can't just age up for fanfic

They have to know about the whole anti movement with how much discussion the Steven Universe side of it gets in geek press.

it shows what kind of people they are desu.
the dudes don't care as long as we watch their show

Assuming Lauren read the post that tumblr teenie made about how disappointed she was that she would support a "pedophilic" ship like Sheith, I think she must be aware (assuming she read it, but considering how many people reblogged that post and tagged Lauren in it to catch her attention, she probably did). They probably aren't aware of the scale of this whole thing though.

>They don't get why we can't just age up for fanfic
Or they just don't see why the ages are a problem at all, considering it's fiction. I know Bryke aren't involved in this, but there were people screaming "pedo" at Kataang as well, and it didn't stop them from making it canon (not saying Sheith will be canon, just that these guys might have a similar mindset). And who knows how much time will pass between the start and end of the show in the show's universe, they characters might become older later on, which will make this whole drama even more stupid.

>characters might become older later on
this makes sense. Keith in the original was 21 I think, and since he'll be the new black paladin I'm pretty sure years are going to pass to show us how much his character has grown.
also, gotta congratulate the sheithers for taking back their tag. hopefully by tomorrow the writers on ao3 will be back

Most serious animated series seem to follow the trend of aging up

...

Man-Bun Hunk makes me strangely upset. Artists have a right to depict characters any way they wish, and I'm aware it's an irrational response, but it still makes me want to punch something. ...But then, I think man-buns just make me want to punch things, in general.

Reminder that while tumblr can play imagination games with ages to justify their pedophiliac depravities, Best Boy is canonically Cuban and will win everything.

Your best boy is a filthy Communist

Lance needs to build a wall before he can be called best boytoy

>Waiting to see what mecha Voltron takes inspiration from for it's upgrades across the show

Ideon? Shin Getter? Gunbuster? Genesic GaoGaiGar? Dancouga? Demonbane? Mark Nicht?

It's the future. Cuba is probably part of some big world government collective by now.

I don't get it. Who is this guy?

The hotdog guy.

Cuba's barely Communist nowadays.

Lance is restoring Communism

>Cuba is probably part of some big world government collective by now.

This artist is selling this as stickers and donating all the profit to a charity

Pidge

...

...

It means your boy has canonly the worst most unintelligible Spanish in the Latin world.

His boobs are too small here for this to be accurate.

I do wonder how his vest manages to not burst at the seams, it always looks like it's being stretched to the limit.

I want Shiro to smother me with his tits.

...

...

I wonder how sensitive his nipples are.

That's Puerto Rican, homes. Cuban's like the chillest version of Spanish to speak.

...

Post cute

...

Do we have a date for the next season?
January?

Here.

January 20th.

Realistic Sheith

Shiro looks like he is disgusted.

Cuban detected. Not going to deny that Puerto Rican Spanish is ass too.

So which Galra do you think would be most likely to break a bedframe during a hookup? Would they offer to pay for it, or no?

Pic related. Guy has some powerful legs, looks like.

Sendak. I mean the size of his robot arm

What spanish is best spanish though

Prorok looks like the type to finish first and then let you take care of yourself so he can get to sleep. Jerk.

Either him, Sendak, or Zarkon. Zarkon is so huge, he probably breaks beds just by laying in them.

Prorok.

I think Sendak's the type who'd sooner fuck someone against the wall because he doesn't feel like making it to the nearest bed.

I want a Galra bf
;_;

>you will never rub your face all over Sendak's furry body while he looks on in amusement

Why fucking live

user, pls

>you will never run your fingers through Yurak's mullet
