This is your problem. This right here.

Keith has always been an adult. He is canonically 18, and ages up to 21. Shiro never ‘took him in’ or ‘raised’ him. They are best friends. They are mentor and mentee. They are not related, are not ‘brothers’, and have an over-arcing narrative that goes out of its way to portray them in a light that many people — including prominent industry figures, journalists, and the staff itself — saw potential in and LGBT folks (with no small number of gay men) identified with.

They are also in direct competition with the fandom’s juggernaut ship, klance. And that’s all this is. It’s a ship war that antis HAVE ADMITTTD TO STARTING JUST SO THEY CAN DISCREDIT SHEITH AND CONVINCE DW TO MAKE KLANCE CANON.

Why can’t you say this. Why can’t you just admit that your efforts have nothing to do with genuine activism and everything to do with trying to control media to fit your preferences. Like I said, I have receipts. Mountains of them. It is so, so easy to expose your movement for the, ahem, ‘disingenuous bullshit’ that it is and I’m going to relish every second of it.

But please continue painting yourselves as victims and comparing FICTIONAL SHIPPING to BLACKFACE OF ALL THINGS to try and legitimize the fact that you’re just salty your crack ship didn’t happen. You still haven’t produced a single piece of evidence that ‘my group’ (what, fic authors? artists? shippers? queer people? kinksters? what is the ‘you people’ here, sweetie? Be specific) has done anything you claim it has done. You’re literally saying that racial stereotypes are bad like that has anything to do with the fact that you antis literally invented lies about a ship you didn’t like and have spent YEARS harassing and threatening everyone who likes it INCLUDING THE STAFF MEMBERS and have gone on to try and pass your movement off as legit activism so you can keep infecting other fandoms with your toxicity.

YOU ARENT FOOLING ANYONE. And people are catching on.
