#insert fandom here

I just know that if I stand next to him his hand is going to be wrapped around my thigh, keeping me grounded and close to him

.

In a crowded place he would keep guard, his chest always available for me to hide into when the crowds become overstimulating. With strong protective arms acting as a shield.

.

He steps up to order whenever we out out, already having my order memorised, taking the pressure off of me in that situation. Reminding me of the little ways he’s showing me love.

.

I just know he subtly enforces Princess treatment, opening all doors, keeping on the side of traffic, holding my hand and guiding me. Allowing me to fully turn off my brain and be taken care of.

I'm not easy to manipulate. I have a strong self awareness. Nobody can dictate my life.

Ok. Change of plan, time to dedicate myself to them.

The show was fantastic.

The show's fan base was full of loud, overly aggressive, and genuinely dangerous individuals that made things worse for everyone.

THAT is why I don't engage with your fandom.

The Fansplaining Shipping Survey

This survey is intended for any human being who wants to take it: everyone from “I don't even know the definition of ‘shipping’” to “My OTP dominates my every waking thought.” PLEASE NOTE: this survey is limited to questions about shipping fictional characters. While some questions would stay the same for shipping real people, others varied too much to be contained in a single survey. That's for next time! :-) This survey is a just-for-fun project from the Fansplaining podcast; please visit our website (http://www.fansplaining.com) for episodes, transcripts, articles, the results of our previous surveys, and more. While responses are anonymous, the complete data set, including your anonymous answers, will be publicly released under a Creative Commons license—so don’t include any information you wouldn‘t be comfortable sharing in that context. Thank you for taking part—and when you're finished, please share it with your friends!

“VLD fans 18+: please consider filling out a research dissertation survey on the impact of 🐜s and concerns of representation in season 8! Your perspectives and views are invaluable. RTs appreciated #voltron #VoltronLegendaryDefender #vlds8 #vld https://t.co/z17u2z4gDi”

Please consider answering this survey, It’s a thorough and excellent set of questions on the anti issues and how they affected Voltron. I also mentioned where anti behavior and anti tactics have caused problems in other fandoms.
