Lucky! My fandom seems to be determined to make a Space Blended Family superwholock-esque mashup and I hates it, precious.

The Voltron fandom is a complete nightmare and it only took like a month for it to get that way. This is why teenagers and minors should be banned from the internet.

This is why teenagers and minors should be banned from the internet.

I would be okay with that...or at least limited access.

Seriously, I don't think even Undertale fandom went to shit that quickly. It makes me wish I never got into this series. The show is cute but not worth all that drama.

Please come and get your loud, angry children and take them back to your own fandoms. I don't want them.

Seeing the state of the Voltron fandom makes me glad I got the hell out of fandom entirely.

If that's what fandom is like these days, I want absolutely no part of it anymore.

People complain so much about F!S but honestly this is a much better place to do fandom than Tumblr right now, if you ask me. I don't need to be super involved, though, so that helps.

But the big question is: is it any good? I'm really curious about it, but the alleged batshit fandom has kept me from checking it out.

I personally enjoyed it. The first episode is very rushed because it seems like they're basically trying to shove about three episodes worth of setup into it but after that it settles into a fun show that reminds me a lot of Avatar the Last Airbender (which makes sense, considering).

It's also got some interesting plot hooks that haven't played out yet and at times lovingly parodies the mecha genre.

It's pretty mediocre and all over the place when it comes to tone. I feel like the emphasis on childish humor and mood whiplashing (scenes that are played up to be very intense frequently get ruined by quips or comic relief) really wrecks it, like the show can't decide whether it wants to be taken seriously or not. I quite like Pidge and Shiro (they're the most plot heavy characters), though I feel the latter, with his very dark backstory, is wasted in such a kid friendly show.

Also, the first episode is terrible. I've never seen such a rushed, badly paced episode like that before and the relationships formed between all the characters feels forced and inorganic, considering they just met like 5 minutes ago.

I liked it, personally. I'm not super-invested in it, but I'll be watching it whenever the next season comes out.

it's well done.

writers from Legend of Korra set the tone, which is noticeable with the characterization (comedy and psychology) and character and setting designs. personally I didn't find it as engaging, or concentrated in quality as Atla, mostly because of the concept of the original.

I think the show will really improve with more material and lore to build on though, it has been planned as longer running show imo. maybe binge watch it when season 2 comes out?

If you like slapstick and cringey humour, mecha tropes and very mediochre animation (and basically the same things that some people liked about the worst parts of Avatar and Legend of Korra) then it's potentially entertaining.

Could you take them back please?

We don't need cunts like this http://elentori-abuse-reciepts.tumblr.com/post/149858051783/paranormalantis-attention-voltron-fandom

Holy shit. Tumblr sure has become a cesspool and it's only spreading wider.

Don't forget Klanced, Sheith-is-dead, and vld-Keith, all of whom are not unlike the kids who bullied Zamii. They even use the "we're mentally ill minors!" excuse to get away with it.

shota and cartoon underage porn is not child porn, get help

Thanks for the tumblr to follow!

The artist one, not the 'omg people like things I don't approve of and draw things I don't approve of and so I'm going to scream about it being ABUSIVE'

I like how they keep repeating that they're an abuse survivor as if that somehow gives them the authority to be The Voice of every abuse survivor ever. What a self-righteous ass

Who or what is elentori?

They're now making lists of people who "support pedophilia" (AKA people who post in the Sheith tag and other Shiro/paladin tags). For a while there, I thought the fandom was calming down and the antis got bored and moved on, but now it seems to only be getting worse.

Well, I won't lie and say I'm happy that they're in my new fandom, but I'm glad if there's been a net positive change to fandom overall? Heaven knows a lot of new fandoms have been disasters lately.

As far as Voltron fandom actually goes: use your block feature on Tumblr generously, follow people selectively, and moderate comments on AO3. If you ship one of the "problematic" pairings, there's usually a blog or two that collects the best of the fanworks/discussion in one place so you can avoid the tag entirely, and that's a good decision too.
