Do they think he was in stasis for two years while his body aged? He LIVED those two years, physically AND mentally. It’s *obvious* that when he comes back he’s more mature than when he left. This is just straight up lying about what happened in the show.
I mean I’m not surprised, but still.
These people flat-out ignore canon. Way to completely disregard how much Keith grew and matured in those 2 years on the space whale with his mom.
Also “he’s a teenager mentally”? Yikes the implications of this.
1) Antis can use this to avoid responsibility (”yeah I may be an adult but I’m mentally a teenager, so I can’t help if I react immaturely and tell someone to kill themselves for having a nasty ship”).
And 2) predatory adults can use this to justify being in a relationship with a teenager. Isn’t that the exact thing antis hate? Why are they using “Keith is a teenager mentally” to ship 21-year-old adult Keith with 17-year-old teenager Lance. Ew (not really ew because it’s a cartoon ship, just making a point and using their logic against them)
Also pisses me off how antis straight up LIE. This anon could have a genuine question because they’re not in the fandom, and antis just tell bold-face lies and spread misinformation. Like just stfu and say “Keith is 21″
notes on OP of this screenshot: they were 18, deleted their blog, and had “Sheiths die” in their bio before they deleted it after they were getting “hate”
and some of the hate that made them sick was someone telling them that someone on the crew said Keith and Shiro weren’t related
