It says something when Gravity Falls only had 2 Seasons and 40 half-hour episodes, and that show was far better recieved overall than Steven (Or at least it wasn't as polarizing.) There's a lot of fat in SU they could've trimmed out and had the show completed by mid-to-late 2017. I sometimes wonder if they wanted to drag out the show's lifespan so it could truly have that "cultural impact" that both Rebecca and Shmorky wanted.
The cultural impact is people will remember Gravity Falls 10-20 years from now. You can watch it in around a week if you no life and you'll come away with something because the story and characters are tight. SU just wandered around a lot. If you did a fan edit of the show, only taking out plot critical elements from otherwise filler episodes and just keeping the plot critical ones, I bet you could shave half the runtime off and lose nothing.
Sugar is more like a combination of the animation industry's usual nepotism (which is honestly more like being able to do the damn nightmare of a job without having a mental breakdown or being a John K, more than any talent), being in the right place with the right pitch, and the Hollywood and internet echo chamber patting her ass. If there were an equivalent, it would be like making a "stunning and brave" queer video game with a budget behind it, when the indie and international scene had already been doing it for years and drummed up all the support without any money or international network exposure. The handling of Korra and the response triggered a lot of this.
How far back are you going? The Tumblr menace of autistic teenage girls spending too much time talking about cartoons fucking is almost as old as 4chan talking about fucking teenage girls in cartoons.
The Tumblr Files mainly covers media that was popular in, or blew up during, 2015 and early 2016.
Yes, but MLP I don't think was pozzed from the word "go" for a good few years. At least I didn't hear about stuff like that for years having not been in the fandom to begin with.

Some kid who got a Make-a-Wish wish granted (to meet Rebecca Sugar) got to watch one of the new episodes early and shared some plot info. Someone semi-"big" in the Steven Universe "community" (ugh) was on Twitter and said some stuff about how they shouldn't have shared stuff, including one now-deleted tweet (they apologized for) that made it sound like they were insinuating the kid was happy about having been sick enough to be part of MAW.
Guatón culiao.
All I know about Voltron is that it's basically "the Fujo show". The only thing its fans ever cared about during its run was which ships would get confirmed instead of the show being good or not.
It's true that voltron really faded into obscurity. Back then it was as unavoidable as Steven universe to be honest. I guess it died down with a whimper. I didn't know the Netflix thing, but I'm not surprised. It wasn't a good show.
