While we can agree the Voltron fandom is currently a crash site of vicious disagreements and ship wars, one thing that has risen above the ranks is the sheer amount of ao3 author support. A lot of people are frustrated with the newest season, particularly if (like me) you’re a member of the LGBT+ community who has come face-to-face with the “Bury your gays” trope yet again, or even if you’re someone who has issues with how the plot or characterisation has been done. Everyone’s frustrations are valid because everyone has their own opinion (and I’ll slip in here that while these emotions are yours to express please don’t abuse the creators of Voltron, they deserve respect like any human), but I am LIVING for the sheer amount of genius fix-it fics that have been boosted on this website. While discourse will continue, please be respectful of the fic writers who put their effort into improving the plot how they see fit, and enjoy the works that they lovingly give to the fandom. A lot of reblogs of fics are appearing in the tags so keep up the support for our fandom in these tough times and channel your shipping frustrations into supporting your favourite authors!! Stay positive through these dark times and respect one another!!
