look at this very insteresting comic and/or cartoon thread!

People hated fandoms well before tumblr existed or got popular. Why do you think there's a separate board for a specific cartoon?

Okay, I'll bite - what DID the Voltron fandom do?

What did the Voltron fandom did? Not make enough porn with Pidge, Alura and Shay? Cause Shay is hot.

Didn't one fan blackmail to release footage they got during a tour of the studio unless they made her ship canon?

A lot.

Well for one they think it's pedophilia to draw lewd art of a 19 year old.

Who is 19? Pidge?
And since when is 19 considered pedophilia? Is this an american thing?

I'm not sure but I remember seeing posts about how it was supposedly competing for the fastest-souring fandom title because sjw discourse and purity wank and anti-shipping started to gain steam already when the fandom was like a week old.

I'm guessing it's because a lot of antishipping purity crusaders were looking for a new fandom to join when it aired. In my limited understanding most of the drama revolves around shipping the wrong thing and how that totally harms vulnerable people and shipping 18 yo people with twentysomethings is pedophilia and everything I dislike is harmful and should be banned and you should feel like a disgusting piece of shit for liking what i don't.
That sort of attitudes. But yeah Voltron fandom gained notoriety quite fast with it's internal drama

I can assure you as an American it's not.

It's a tumblr thing.

It's a tumblr thing.

Some people want people to stop liking ships they dislike. They don't want to outright phrase it like that though, because that makes it obvious that it's just bullying, so instead they try to come up with various bullshit reasons for why ship x it's "problematic". That easy, they can pretend they're good people while bullying and harassing others, because they're only thing to remove problematic, toxic, harmful content from the fandom! To protect the "survivors"! (of some sort of abuse idk)

For a long time, the popular problematic thing was being racist or ableist, but now the bullying excuse du jour it's "pedophilia", ie an age gap that's bigger than 3 years. Actually 3 years is enough if the other is a minor, so a ship with a 17 yo and a 20 yo could totally be called"pedo".

Some tumblrinas have just started to misuse the word to mean "ship I dislike with an age gap" because pedophilia sounds like a serious, heavy word, so they're trying to make the thing they dislike more horrible by association in order to get people to stop liking what they don't like

Sorry for the multiple errors, I'm on mobile and my autocorrect is acting up

Isn't Voltron about a bunch of giant robot lions who fuse to become a gianter robot?

Yep.

The best Tumblr fandom:
the one about shipping like a 10 year old with a 30 year old
it's great god bless

Gumball?

Yes.

It's ridiculous. I honestly think that this current purity crusading regarding shipping is just about as big bunch of assholes suddenly realizing they can try to guilt people into not shipping pairings they dislike via trying to paint pairings as objectively harmful because of reasons. Also they get to harass and viciously bully people while pretending that they're good people, only protecting the vulnerable. That's the only logical explanation I can think of, people wanting to excuse their shit behavior to themselves because they don't want to admit to themselves that they like bullying others online and that's it

Who fucking cares?

Tumblr choked on its worst cancerous groups years ago. Tumblr now is about 70% furry, cartoon, and fandom porn, and most of the rest are memes.

People on Sup Forums who bitch the most about tumblr are slow to catch up and way behind the times. They died at the same time all the extreme insane superwholock fandoms died. It all fizzled out within a year of Dashcon.

The SJW side of tumblr similarly fizzled out within a year of gamergate. For every extreme SJW blog that hasn't become a complete joke there are 10 anti-SJW blogs acting just as obnoxious or worse, but who are less prone to attack.

Another thing people don't seem to realize when they bitch about being overrun with tumblr is that more of Sup Forums has moved to tumblr than tumblr has moved to Sup Forums.

The only main problem group on tumblr are the ones who made the homestuck fandom as bad as it was. They moved on since to other media and are usually the ones behind all the worst shit for other tumblr fandoms like Steven Universe, Undertale, and other shit like that. It's like a cancerous mob that latches onto something new and popular and then drives other fans to suicide.

I know exactly what you mean about the dregs of the HS fandom going on to shit up other things. We need a name for that group.

Voltron fandom and this weird shipping purity has actually caused a lot of change in fandom in general. Unfortunately you're not allowed to like or ship characters who are under 18 now, which has never been a problem until maybe the last three years.

Teen and kid characters are generally written to appeal to adults as relatable, so of course people like them. Voltron fandom started the idea that if you like lewds of teen cartoon characters you're literally going to go out and rape a child.

The thing I hated about Voltron shipping was how the people who shipped Sheith and Allura only did it to prevent people from shipping Keith with someone other than Lance. Shallura was like their shield ship.

And then the crew confirmed that Allura was a teen and it was glorious.

>"b-but allura is older mentally so allura x keith is still pedo!!!"

no

I liked the early days when all the shitflinging was centered around Klance with no regard to pairs that didn't involve them. Around all the calls of pedophilia no one cared about my pair. Shame they realized people would call them out as hypocrites if they continued saying nothing about it.

True. While most of the people who go nuts about which ships are more problematic use Tumblr, they are by no means a majority of the site. Same with the SJWs.
Overall I'm annoyed with people fully associating a website with its' worst examples of people. Reddit isn't all neckbeard incels, Tumblr isn't all lunatic SJWs, and Sup Forums isn't all school shooters and kek nazis.

HS Dregs sounds good enough to me. Or the fandom leaches. They're like a roving band of nomads who settle outside some small town, suck it dry, drive up crime, and then leave when the town rot away.

Fuck, best and purest ship ;_;

This.

The new Tumblr is Twitter. All the worst people moved over there, and best of all they can send their kill yourself note to the creators themselves.

Fuck I know this group. It's just a horde of awful fucking people that just migrate from one fandom to another. It's why the worst fandoms are almost always so similar, it's just the same people.

It existed before Homestuck too and I think before tumblr. Back then they were on Livejournal and were Hetalia fans but I'm certain they existed before then too.

They're like fandom gypsies.

Sent links to child porn to anyone shipping Shiro with anyone or Pidge with anyone.

I'm not joking.

Good ship, best ship.

look at the voltron threads here and you'll see why. The types of fans that flocked to it on tumblr have bled over into co

How is it that Pokémon so popular, but rarely gets shit?

Also when MLP and Sonic stop being the most popular to rag on?

>Back then they were on Livejournal and were Hetalia fans
This seems weird considering Hetalia was the Most Fucked Up fandom. You know, considering making part of WW2 into cute BL moments. And the incest. And the shota shipping.

wtf does those words mean?

Pokemon got popular pre-internet and had the luck to be consistently good for ages. Even its arguable current dark period with how lackluster XY and Sun and Moon are, there's still a lot of things to like - maybe a pokemon design, the atmosphere of the region outside of gameplay, SOMETHING.

Most other fandoms never had such luxuries so once it's shit, it's damn hard to get out of.

Tumblr are mainly girls and fujos, neither MLP or Sonic are very big with them. Most of the stuff on that list are franchises with a large number of dudes and or gays.

I always figured it was people like them that made furries so terrible. Because way back when furries were the only ones who would be "accepting" of people like that, and as a result they were plagued with ridiculous drama and shit.

Now whenever I see furries online they're just in it for the porn and memes and don't seem to care for that kind of bullshit anymore.

I think everyone gets hungup blaming shows and fandoms for what's really just a certain kind of personality that makes them a cancerous parasite that latches onto other groups who seem to be inviting and then poisons them.

>rarely gets shit
bitch doesn't know the shipping wars of Pokemon. The Wikia has a whole section on the autistic shipping for a reason. bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Shipping
I only remember the shit for Rocketshipping because muh otp. People got shit because shipping it was homophobic or something and ship hit the fan when a manga came out with them as endgame.
But it was generally before that shit got out of hand. Death threats were more limited and no one contacted people's IRL family/work the way the fandom does now. It was more 'fun shipping'.

Tumblr should be divided more strictly between ages. Generations even. Turning Tumblr from 17+ to 14+ was a mistake.

Any site on the internet being below 18 is a mistake.
At least when it's 18 the kids have to PRETEND to be mature.

I am 100% certain that the fujos from Voltron are descended from the Hetalia fujos. They just sort of evolved and mutated but the cancer still remains.

Hetalia had tons of death threats around too and I think set the groundwork for a lot of fujo shipping culture.

I'm aware. The difference is that it rarely spreads beyond the fanbase and even though the petty bullshittery of muh OTP exists, there's little widespread harassment like there is in Voltron or Undertale.

Homestuck would be way bigger if this poll was made in 2013-14, their fans moved to SU and some just left.

Hetalia->Homestuck->Steven Universe->Voltron

Probably true. It's like the shit Hetalia fandom got mixed in with socjus ideology weirdly. I remember Yandere Russia ships and Rape As War analogies. Weird that that would turn into this mix of social justice.
Guess they are just people using socjus to rationize sending death threats over ship.

I see Harry Potter being a big beginning fandom for that group too.

What the hell?
Seriously? That is insane!

>20 year old and 17 year old
>Pedophilia
For one that isn't the correct term you are using. Second thing is that 17 year old and 20 year can have sex in pretty much most of the world except in a few places where it is 18.

A problem occurs when the 20 year old takes pictures of the 17 year old in the nude. Then they brought up with child pornography.

This is the best pairing, but I still remember early on that people were putting ships into categories of what was "acceptable" and trying to guess the ages of the characters when the show JUST came out!

Welcome to fangirls.

The oldest of these are the single women now in their late 20s and early 30s bitching on how horrible men are and then genuinely wondering why they're single I should know seeing so many of them grow up from the last decade when all this fandom shit really took off.

Like they pretend here? Because it sure isn't working.

Aren't a lot of them political lesbians, though?

Sure, but you won't get shit like interacting with me is literal pedophilia like you do with the tumblr crowd.

I think there's a few more steps in between those, like Undertale after Homestuck, but that sounds about right.

SocJus is total cancer but I don't really think these people are actual SJWs. They just sort of 'adopted' their tactics.

Boy I sure do love comics and cartoons.

Hey, at least no one will say 'anything I do, like sending death threats, is excused by the fact I'm a minor' like on Tumblr.
It's the small things.

Harry Potter was baby's first internet fandom for a lot of people. The first time I had a computer of my own in my own room with internet was when the third book came out and I was writing terrible Harry Potter fanfiction.

The thing is that I learned all my most vital internet and fandom lessons there and that made me less shitty online later. Even when in high school.

Political yes, lesbians no, except some of them might say they are for social justice brownie points. Most of their political stuff makes up the worst of online social justice nonsense, but for them it's just a fad and they move on to some other method of harassing people online and then playing the victim.

No man. The new thing is a political faggot.
A lot of the crazier Tumblr types are "MLM" aka "men loving men" aka "transmen" now.
Now they are the ones that hate fujoshis because they 'fetishize' gay men. They are next level fujoshi drama.
