A cursory look at archiveofourown.net sadly reveals that disturbing Olaf/Violet fanfics aren't dead yet — although the latest crop, obviously created by the Netflix series, appears to be justified more by the good old phenomenon of the main female character of a show being a teenage girl, teenage girls thus choosing her as an author avatar/self-insert, and having a celebrity crush on the actor playing an older male character in the same show. I think the Violet/Olaf you'll find nowadays exists for more or less the same reason that the fans of That Other Book Series have to deal with Hermione/Snape fanfics all the time.

About Violaf, I most certainly do not ship it, but I understand where it came from. It is made quite clear in canon that Count Olaf had some sort of twisted attraction to Violet, and while I am intrigued by it, I find it disturbing and cannot imagine why some people would believe that Violet returned his affections, if it can even be called that. This is a part of the series, but a bad part, and oughtn’t be glossed over or represented positively in fanfiction.
