Show Notes
Not again... This week, Emily and V look at yet another time that a fandom cannibalized one of its own because of popularity. This time, it's Voltron: Legendary Defender fandom in the summer of 2016 and the massive fic (an all-time all-AO3 kudo-haver!) "Dirty Laundry" by gibslythe. While we didn't read the fic, and thus our opinions are colored by those of the people who wrote up the drama minute-by-minute and day-by-day as it happened, we predictably have a lot of feelings about how fandom always... effing... does this. Featuring: The Bee Movie, Babe 2: Pig in the City, and Spaaace Chiiiimps.
