As someone who is new to the VLD fandom, it's interesting to see older fans' experiences with the show. Having just finished Voltron, Klance is one of my favorite ships, but after watching a few videos seeing other fans' experiences, I can't believe that some fans would take the extremes in order to defend their ship's 'superiority'- I never would have imagine that the fandom would be so toxic at one point. Regardless, lovely video and keep up the great work!
I was also mainly a Klance shipper back then but I'm not really a part of the toxic stuff. I only heard that it happened tbh but I definitely saw a bit of the ship wars happening back then
I think the theory of people finding Klance before even watching the show is pretty true. I myself was suggested some of the Klance content here on TH-cam and thought it was cute. After watching some videos (and reading comments, preparing me for it not being canon) I finally decided to watch it anyways. Having watched it once and currently rewatching I can say: Yes, Klance did have and will have some moments, that could have been taken further. But just as said, season 3 made it clear that there will be no Klance happening. No matter the reason behind it. When it comes to the ship of Sheith.. Nope, not gonna happen! Simply for the fact that Keith has called Shiro his brother multiple times. I do like Sheith, but only in a brotherly, being comfort for each other way. Allurance.. Hell no, I still feel sorry for Lance. I simply don't like the fact that Lance was clearly hitting on Allura during the whole show and Allura also clearly being annoyed by it. Even sending him away when she was with Lotor (which I liked way more than Allurance..). I do get why people ship them, it could have been a nice ship, if it would have been introduced better that it was. To me it was like: Season 8, we need a couple. Fast. How about Lance finally getting his way with Allura? Sounds great, let's do that! Right in the first episode! But I do feel like he was kind of a rebound for Lotor. She was just seeking comfort and Lance was happy to give it to her. I think that this relationship happend way to fast and rushed, without proper development on Alluras side. I'm actually glad that Allura and Lance have not been "Endgame" as many would call it. Allura died, which was a little over the top but oh well. It was her own choise so I'm fine with it. At the end it was like I would have liked it all the way through the show: No couples at all. Would have been less stressfull for everyone, including the characters. Look at Keith and Pidge! They had better things to do than find a boyfriend in the middle of space war! (And yes, I do believe that Keith is either gay or not interested at all, considering his lack of interest in any female he came across) But in a way I think that the producers actually, if not intentionally, made space for the shippers to take over at the end. With Allurance being split up, they have given everyone the chance to make their own ending. Even bringing back Allura. It is fiction after all, everything is possible.
Oh you don't want to know about the David Gaider situation or the fact that they knew the STAFF shipped the other popular ship(ESPECIALLY Lauren and Joaquim) AND THEY STILL TRIED TO SPREAD LIES ABOUT THE OTHER SHIP. While KNOWING the staff DEBUNKED the claims.
Look This is an AWESOME video 💝 But I do have to mention that both Keith and Lance CAN normally be liking each other or not even that,maybe having more of a kinship or friendship. And I don’t think that the producers were expecting any kind of relationship being created by the fandom. But I really do think that Klance is a great and interesting topic for all of us 💟 And I think that all the smiling at each other was just reimagined but seriously tho Klance can sometimes get real :D As a person who adores both Lance and Keith ,Klance is a different complicated subject 😹
happy someone still talks about vld I miss it I shiped kl at first then some other ships by the shows end I ship Keith and hunk but after a few months I realize I don't like shipping and I wish the write could have ended the show in an open ended why so people could still ship anything they wonted and have any ship possible I think they should have left it open were anyone could end up together all the characters should have had strong moments It sad I don't now of we're going to get,klance or any other ship But the ending was so bad that 98% of the fans were sad/upset

yeah the ship wars got really bad back then
it's super cool that you're talking about this! vld is kind of a taboo topic on the internet, and i don't hear much about it anymore.
yeah me neither, i think that it is good to look back at it though, and it was really fun to do
