Fandom's problem might be that 1) a canon queer couple is within the scope of possibilities and 2) that canon still doesn't give a lot of shipping fodder?

I only watched the first ep of Voltron, but this sounds right to me? Same problem with Steven Universe maybe.
I mean, people are driving the writers over twitter over who Peridot is dating. I like shipping, I love romance fic, but lately as an Adult Fan I'm starting to feel like the fucking kids should get off my lawn and realize there's more to life than their OTP.

cough, yeah. shipping as way of interacting with canon probably loses its compulsion a bit once people are more engaged romantically/sexually/whatever.

at least SU has a lot of canon material and a wealth of plot to theorize with. or it looks like it has from the sidelines.

SU fans harassing storyboard artists was what I saw, which is really stupid since storyboard artists generally don't have a say into who dates whom.

We're thinking of the same person, Lauren Zuke. I just looked it up and I think writing and storyboarding are almost the same thing on SU, so she had some creative control. Though I assume not over character arc stuff, like romantic relationships.
the reddit post is mostly full of sensible people:
https://www.reddit.com/r/stevenuniverse/comments/4xg58j/lauren_zuke_just_deleted_her_twitter/
my favourite: Zuke, a lesbian, was accused of homophobia for having Peridot and Amethyst/Lapis interact in episodes she wrote with no intention of making the ship canon

Storboard artists generally don't do multi-episode story planning, but that might be different on SU. They do have some control over how story beats get animated, but animation is a highly collaborative process.
