June 10, 2016: Voltron: Legendary Defender Premieres & June 10, 2017: #shoegate

See ya later, pala-dudes! This week, V and Emily hit a double-header in the Voltron: Legendary Defender fandom (thanks to two requesters and V's VLD primer pal, Fran!). First, V attempts to explain what the show is about and why it launched on Netflix with a built-in fandom. And then... oh, boy. You know how our ending stinger is "well-behaved fandoms rarely make history"? Well, this fandom is VERY POORLY BEHAVED and therefore, have made history. That's for sure...

Not really a TW, but just be aware that this episode is heavy on discussions of purity culture, particularly with regard to shipping age gaps.
