I don't know what Voltron is (I mean, obviously I know it's a show, but that's where my knowledge ends), but from the secrets on here, the fandom seems unusually toxic, what gives?

These people are nuts.

IDK if there's an explanation beyond random chance (and the fact that it's an anime-style Western cartoon, which seem to have consistently bad fandoms for what are probably demographic reasons)

Like, it's not like it's a bad fandom in a fundamentally new way, it's just bad in the same way that bad fandoms are usually bad but somewhat more so

[cbrachyrhynchos]

A combination of:

1. ugly shipwars,
2. 2/3rds of the main cast are teens,
3. bad interpretations of canon through ship goggles leading to batshit conspiracy theories about secret canon coding, and
4. pushing ships as canon for the sake of LGBTQ representation.

So it's a situation ripe for justifying ship wars by framing the other side as homophobic or pedophiliacs.

American anime shipwars tend to be nasty due to the combination of baby's first shipwar, creators' media presence being more accessible to English speaking fans than anime, and the type of nerds who get into this sort of thing.. This one is especially bad compared because of wank masquerading as social justice, the increasing amount of entitlement present in fanbases, and the migratory slash fandom latching hard on to it.
