Description

What do you lose when you stop being able to engage in the fandom of a show you used to love? Artist and Youtuber Natalie has some answers, sharing her experiences of being in the Voltron fandom as well as what it's like to come out the other side. The show rose to intense popularity, but shot itself in the foot when it decided to forgo its entire premise in order to deliver a failed attempt at fan service. Natalie and I discuss queer representation in media, the rising trend of antishippers, and how to take responsibility for curating your own space online.

music featured in this episode is by Allison Weiss, Sufjan Stevens, and from Voltron: Legendary Defender, with additional vocals from Marissa Gonazlez
