The Rhetorics of the Voltron: Legendary Defender Fandom "FANS ARE GOING TO SEE IT ANY WAY THEY WANT": THE RHETORICS OF THE VOLTRON: LEGENDARY DEFENDER FANDOM Renee Ann Drouin A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2021 Committee: Lee Nickoson, Advisor Salim A Elwazani Graduate Faculty Representative Neil Baird Montana Miller © 2021 Renee Ann Drouin All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Lee Nickoson, Advisor The following dissertation explores the rhetorics of a contentious online fan community, the Voltron: Legendary Defender fandom. The fandom is known for its diversity, as most in the fandom were either queer and/or female. Primarily, however, the fandom was infamous for a subsection of fans, antis, who performed online harassment, including blackmailing, stalking, sending death threats and child porn to other fans, and abusing the cast and crew. Their motivation was primarily shipping, the act of wanting two characters to enter a romantic relationship. Those who opposed their chosen ship were targets of harassment, despite their shared identity markers of female and/or queer. Inspired by ethnographically and autoethnography informed methods, I performed a survey of the Voltron: Legendary Defender fandom about their experiences with harassment and their feelings over the show’s universally panned conclusion. In implementing my research, I prioritized only using data given to me, a form of ethical consideration on how to best represent the trauma of others. Unfortunately, in performing this research, I became a target of harassment and altered my research trajectory. In response, I collected the various threats against me and used them to analyze online fandom harassment and the motivations of antis. The primary patterns from the participants in my survey demonstrate a community that was heavily influenced by online harassment from a vocal minority and attacked in both physical and digital spaces, facing slurs, doxxing, death threats, and, primarily, accusations of supporting child pedophilia and incest, as antis falsely claimed characters non-antis favored were related or underage. Further complicating fans’ trauma was the show’s ending, in which the woman of iv color lead was killed, and the queer character marginalized, resulting in a community left questioning if their harassment was worth the levels of trauma from both antis and the show itself. This dissertation contributes to our understanding of what online harassment looks like, how identity markers shape the rhetorics behind harassment, and what future studies are necessary to better address such harassment. Additionally, through my experiences with harassment, I option several steps future researchers should consider when performing, teaching, and planning research methodologies. v To the victims and survivors of online harassment and, as always, my Nana, Myra Gallagher Arasimowicz vi ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are countless people this project and I are indebted to for their trust, support, and faith. First, I want to thank all my participants who entrusted me with their truths and traumas. Without you, there would only be an empty page and my lingering frustrations over fandom. Your willingness to share with me is the only reason I succeed. Many of the participants were or became friends of mine. I want to extend an additional level of affection for the folks of H- WriteTeen, our old fandom writing group. You were there for me during the worst of the trauma, and I carry you in my heart forever. To my newer friends, your kindness and patience during this process has carried me across the finish line. Thank you, my online neighbors and friends. To my coheart (Brandie, Bailey, Lena, Brian, and bonus Annie): Thank you for the laughter, love, and kindness. Above all else, thank you for giving me a family in Ohio. There is no group I’d rather be in meetings, conferences, and classrooms with. I want to extend gratitude and affection to my extended BGSU family. Thank you for the past four years and the lessons I will carry with me. To Lee Nickoson, who deserves a sainthood for helping navigate me through this process. Even when I wavered and faltered, you guided me into finding paths onward. Your support and belief mean the world. To Neil Baird, who means more to me than Chris Pine and Henry Cavill combined: Thank you for making research engaging and approachable. The complexities are fun and the bad days are bearable when you’re leading the group. vii To Montana Miller, the She-Doc Mentor to D-Ruin, who would be my co-star in an ac- tion-ademic adventure movie: Thank you for challenging me to be the best version of myself as an academic and a person. To Salim Elwazani, for his thoughtful comments as my graduate faculty representative. Though not related by blood, I have been blessed with best friends who became sisters: Lindsay, Sam, Stephanie, and Lena. Lindsay, my loyal sister who watched this show with me and was with me every step of the way, even when I really tested your patience. Sam, my persevering, fierce sister who still picks up my phone calls even though it is a guarantee I want to vent about this project. Stephanie, my compassionate sister who dubbed VLD Adult Paw-Patrol and wore matching tiaras with me and kept me out of my head. Lena, my reincarnated Victorian era twin sister who just lets me vibe over everything through powerpoints and hockey complaints. You keep me both grounded and lifted up depending on how dramatic I’ve been. Even better, at any given time I have a crazy idea, I have someone in my corner not dismissing me but instead saying: let’s do it. To the countless other friends who inspired me, from Charlotte who battles time zone differences to keep up with my insanity to Ciarra, my first friend and the Piglet to my Pooh. To my forever mentors Miriam and Susan. I cannot emphasize how the community of love and support I am surrounded by has kept me going. I love and admire you all. To Taylor Swift, for writing and releasing five albums during the process so I had a constant soundtrack reflective of any mood. To Mozzie, the most beloved dog and bed-hog in the world. Thank you for keeping me company, and for serving as a furry space heater in the winter. viii My sister, Erin, the other half of my heart and soul, the universal constant in my life: all of the good in me comes from you. Thank you for a lifetime of bickering across a shared bedroom and supporting me at 2 AM because we don’t sleep. There is nothing I cannot survive or accomplish with you in my life. I promise to finally start watching the media you recommended to me. My Nana, Myra Gallagher Arasimowicz: Thank you for playing school with Erin and I when we were younger and fostering a love of reading in me. You felt we were the smartest kids in the world, and we work every day to prove you right. I wish you were here in more than spirit. My mom, Janet, who has loved me unconditionally, despite the fact I keep going on about video games and cartoons and superheroes. You always find humor in the worst days, and that skill and your love has kept me going. Thank you and Dad for feeding me as I binge wrote. And finally, to the world’s best dad, Rene Drouin. 28 years and a forthcoming PhD in rhetoric later, and I still do not have the words to express how much I love you. Thank you for everything. I do it all for you. ix TABLE OF CONTENTS Page CHAPTER I.

    voltron comic download torrent Comic books. Comic books in the Voltron franchise are pieces of fiction that extend the multiple canons. Over the three decades since the debut of Voltron: Defender of the Universe in 1984 there have been multiple publishers that would produce their own separate series for the franchise. Among them were continuations of TV series (with the exception of Voltron: The Third Dimension) that would run alongside the airing of its respective series. Other publishers would produce their own universe separate from any canon established by a TV series or would be loosely based off of it as a reboot. Contents. Japanese continuities. Terebi Land (1981 - 1984) Page from Terebi Land's March 1981 chapter of the Hyakujūō Golion manga. Terebi Land (also known as Television Land or TV Land) was a Japanese children's television magazine that focused on various anime and tokusatsu. In it were interviews, artwork, and individual manga chapters of TV series that were airing at the time. Terebi Land would publish many of Toei's super robot franchises including Beast King GoLion, Armored Fleet DaiRugger XV, and Lightspeed Electroid Albegas. Tsuchiyama Yoshiki, of Cyborg 009 fame, would be the illustrator for Beast King GoLion's manga, whereas Tsuhara Yoshiaki would illustrate the latter two. Like the tie-in comics for series as recent as Voltron: Legendary Defender, these manga chapters would run alongside its respective anime series as it airs. However, they would have different plots while using the same characters. For instance, Shirogane dies in both incarnations but would he would die under different circumstances in both versions.

Abstract This work presents my PhD thesis about the influence of anonymity on par- ticipation in online environments. The starting point of this research was the observation of the design process of an online platform for informal caregivers. I realized that there is no knowledge about the practical effects that an anony- mous identity system would have. This thesis contains the subsequent literature review, which has been synthesized into a model that shows which participation factors might be influenced by anonymity. Three studies on existing online en- vironments have been conducted: One on Youtube, where there was a change in the comment system forbidding anonymous comments; one on Quora, where users can choose to answer questions anonymously; and one on Hacker News, where users choose how many identity factors they want to present and which name they use.

  • Address Munging: the Practice of Disguising, Or Munging, an E-Mail Address to Prevent It Being Automatically Collected and Used
    Address Munging: the practice of disguising, or munging, an e-mail address to prevent it being automatically collected and used as a target for people and organizations that send unsolicited bulk e-mail address. Adware: or advertising-supported software is any software package which automatically plays, displays, or downloads advertising material to a computer after the software is installed on it or while the application is being used. Some types of adware are also spyware and can be classified as privacy-invasive software. Adware is software designed to force pre-chosen ads to display on your system. Some adware is designed to be malicious and will pop up ads with such speed and frequency that they seem to be taking over everything, slowing down your system and tying up all of your system resources. When adware is coupled with spyware, it can be a frustrating ride, to say the least. Backdoor: in a computer system (or cryptosystem or algorithm) is a method of bypassing normal authentication, securing remote access to a computer, obtaining access to plaintext, and so on, while attempting to remain undetected. The backdoor may take the form of an installed program (e.g., Back Orifice), or could be a modification to an existing program or hardware device. A back door is a point of entry that circumvents normal security and can be used by a cracker to access a network or computer system. Usually back doors are created by system developers as shortcuts to speed access through security during the development stage and then are overlooked and never properly removed during final implementation.

  • Hate Speech, Pseudonyms, the Internet, Impersonator Trolls, and Fake Jews in the Era of Fake News
    The Ohio State Technology Law Journal WEB OF LIES: HATE SPEECH, PSEUDONYMS, THE INTERNET, IMPERSONATOR TROLLS, AND FAKE JEWS IN THE ERA OF FAKE NEWS YITZCHAK BESSER1 This Article discusses the problem of “hate-speech impersonator trolls,” that is, those who impersonate minorities through the use of false identities online, and then use those false identities to harm those minorities through disinformation campaigns and false-flag operations. Solving this problem requires a change to the status quo, either through the passage of a new statute targeting hate-speech impersonator trolls or through the modification of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. In this Article, I discuss the scope and severity of hate- speech impersonator-trolling, as well as relevant jurisprudence on the First Amendment, hate speech, anonymity, and online communications. I then present proposals and recommendations to counter and combat hate-speech impersonator trolls. CONTENTS I. INTRODUCTION .............................................................. 234 II.

  • Bury Your Gays’
    . Volume 15, Issue 1 May 2018 Toxic regulation: From TV’s code of practices to ‘#Bury Your Gays’ Kelsey Cameron, University of Pittsburgh, USA Abstract: In 2016, American television killed off many of its queer female characters. The frequency and pervasiveness of these deaths prompted outcry from fans, who took to digital platforms to protest ‘bury your gays,’ the narrative trope wherein queer death serves as a plot device. Scholars and critics have noted the positive aspects of the #BuryYourGays fan campaign, which raised awareness of damaging representational trends and money for the Trevor Project, a suicide prevention organization focused on LGBTQ youth. There has been less attention to the ties #BuryYourGays has to toxicity, however. Protests spilled over into ad hominem attacks, as fans wished violence upon the production staff responsible for queer character deaths. Using the death of The 100 character Lexa as a case study, this article argues that we should neither dismiss these toxic fan practices nor reduce them to a symptom of present-day fan entitlement. Rather, we must attend to the history that shapes contemporary antagonisms between producers and queer audiences – a history that dates back to television’s earliest efforts at content regulation. Approaching contemporary fandom through history makes clear that toxic fan practices are not simply a question of individual agency. Longstanding industry structures predispose queer fans and producers to toxic interactions. Keywords: queer fandom, The 100, television, regulation, ‘bury your gays’ Introduction In March of 2016, queer fans got angry at American television. This anger was both general and particular, grounded in long-simmering dissatisfaction with TV’s treatment of queer women and catalyzed by a wave of character deaths during the 2016 television season.

    Towson University Office of Graduate Studies Responding to Hate: How Public Universities React to Alt-Right Speakers by Josh Guttman A thesis Presented to the faculty of Towson University Office of Graduate Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Science in Communications Management Department of Communication Towson University Towson, Maryland 21252 (December, 2018) DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to my mom and dad, who supported me and cheered me on when I needed it most. I love you both and I can’t thank you enough. I made it through the Paper Chase (1973). *Rocky (1976) music swells in the background* RESPONDING TO HATE ii RESPONDING TO HATE iii Abstract This study examined how public universities who have hosted alt-right speakers on campus protected their reputations while also fostering a free speech environment and keeping students safe. Due to the First Amendment policies of public universities, they have a greater obligation to provide alt-right speakers a platform. However, alt-right speaking events pose risks among the university community such as violence and vandalism. These risks could potentially damage the reputation of the university. Through utilizing Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT) and gathering primary documents from the universities, this study showcases the effectiveness of university strategies in regards to balancing a first amendment while maintaining student safety. The results showed university strategies that were in-line with SCCT were more effective at maintaining their reputations and keeping students safe. Hosting events dedicated to university values and engaging in the community protected their reputations leading up to and during the alt-right speaking events.

Moore: Future Visions: Queer Utopia in Steven Universe Since it premiered on Cartoon Network in 2013, Steven Universe has garnered both ​ ​ praise and criticism for its portrayal of queer characters and its flexible approach to gender. Created by Rebecca Sugar, a bisexual and nonbinary artist, the show tells the story of Steven, a half-human, half-alien teenager raised by a trio of alien parental figures called the Crystal Gems. Steven’s adventures range from helping his friends at the local donut shop to defending Earth from the colonizing forces of the Gem Homeworld. Across its five seasons, this series has celebrated many queer firsts for animated children’s content. In 2018, Steven Universe aired one ​ ​ of the first cartoon same-sex wedding scenes (“Reunited”), and in 2019, it became the first animated show to win a Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) award, taking home the prize for Outstanding Kids and Family Programming.
