THis fandom is the worst bottomless pit of scum that ever existed and it's their fault the show fell as far as it did. And you're contributing to it. You don't deserve to call yourself a fan. You may as well forget it existed. I would much prefer that instead of you mocking it.
Oh hey! My first ask! Neat!
Anyway, let’s break down this comment.
This fandom is the worst bottomless pit of scum that existed
I believe this was written in a response to my latest reblog, in which in the tags, I said that the fanon content is pretty good, and the fandom has gotten a lot less rancid since the show ended. This is from my perspective of it all. I’ve never really experienced or seen that many ship wars, that much toxicity, or people blackmailing animation studios for the year and a quarter I’ve been in this fandom. I’m not denying that that ever happened, I’m not saying that those don’t matter, I’m saying that from my experience, and comparing it to the previous things that people reported going on in the fandom, the fandom seems to have improved, or gotten less toxic.
Now, I’m not an omniscient being, I don’t know if people are still doing those things. I don’t know if people are still harassing the VA’s and their families. From my experience, there’s cool people and cool art and cool au’s with only the occasional anti. Keep in mind again, I joined after the fandom had died, after December 14th, after a lot of the shit died down and people moved on. Which brings me onto another point I feel I have to make:
You’re grouping in all of the good people with the toxic ones.
While it is true that there were quite a lot of shitty, toxic people in the Voltron fandom, you neglect to mention that there are good people who just want to make content for a show they enjoy. And it’s true that bad publicity always gets more attention than good publicity. It’s why Rockstar paid people to write bad reviews for GTA V. Bad publicity gets infinitely more attention than good publicity. You’re more likely to focus on a person who continually attacks others based on their beliefs than someone who spends a lot of time and care working on something they really love. But this doesn’t mean there aren’t genuinely talented people creating amazing content purely out of passion. 
Now, let’s look at the next part of this sentence.
it's their fault the show fell as far as it did
Here, I’m presuming you’re referring to the show’s reputation, but this is a very shallow mindset, pinning all of the blame on the fandom. I do admit, Voltron’s toxic fandom did give it a reputation, all right, and also served as a warning to other shows as to how toxic a fanbase could become. But you neglect to mention that quite a lot of the bad rep was created by the show and its staff itself. 
Let’s take a look at Adam. He was introduced as Shiro’s boyfriend through a tweet made by the official Voltron twitter account. This got fans hyped for the new season, expecting the show to give good representation.
What they got was a short, 30 second scene, which in no way communicated a romantic relationship, and then Adam getting killed. Voltron then got a bad reputation for queerbaiting. The fandom owns neither the twitter account or runs the show. The backlash was produced by the fandom, but that would’ve happened in any other fandom. Promising something in a show, and then falling flat on that promise, especially with something as touchy as LGBT representation, isn’t a fault of the fandom. It’s a fault of the show and its staff.
Oh, and that’s not even touching into the bad reputation built up by the show by its bad writing, which I will get into later.
And you're contributing to it. You don't deserve to call yourself a fan.
Looking at the definition of a fan: an apparatus with rotating blades that creates a current of a- wrong definition, I mean a fan, or fanatic, sometimes also termed aficionado or enthusiast, is a person who exhibits strong interest or admiration for something or somebody. By that definition, I am a fan. Nothing in what you do or say can stop the fact that I find enjoyment in VLD. Sometimes, I just portray that enjoyment by critiquing it, and hating on it.
Second off, you’re just some anon on the internet. Why am I obliged to live by your judgement of who is and isn’t a fan? Whatever you say, I’m just going to make Voltron content anyway. I’m only writing this because I like writing these kind of things, and it’s good practice.
You may as well forget it existed. I would much prefer that instead of you mocking it. 
After reading this, it is clear that OP holds the show in a very high light. Focus on the last few words ‘instead of you mocking it.’ OP, you do realise that if something is public, no matter what, it is susceptible to any Tom, Dick or Sally mocking it. I mock VLD because it is far from the best of the best. This doesn’t mean I do not enjoy it. This doesn’t mean no one can enjoy it. It just has a ton of blatant flaws when you look at it in a critique. Don’t believe me? Let me get you a few videos of a few different people explaining in depth why there are issues with VLD.

Anyway, that’s all from me for now. I had some good fun replying to this, and even got to visit some cool videos again!
All this typing's made me hungry. I'm getting a croissant.

of course Katie HOLT!
Okay, today for fanfiction reasons I was looking for other ways to say forest and discovered that what HOLT MEANS!
Tumblr media
Of courses, Pidge’s real name would be connected to the forest but I had no flippen idea holt was a real word!? I just thought it was a made-up last name or an Italian based one because of Pidge’s heritage. (even my spell check didn’t recognize holt as a word unless it has a capitalized.) Holt: noun ARCHAIC•DIALECT
noun: holt; plural noun: holts
a wood or wooded hill.
Origin: Old English, of Germanic origin; related to Middle Dutch hout and German Holz, from an Indo-European root shared by Greek klados ‘twig’.
Was I just extra dense, or did other people not know this? Also Holt can mean:
the den of an animal, especially that of an otter. So now I’m picturing the Holts as a group of otters and that warms my heart.
