And yes you should all watch SSSS Gridman. interesting factoid Acxa's name means dreadful in Esperanto not really related I just think it's funny that they named Keith's canon girlfriend dreadful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mochi Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 so the showrunners of Voltron issued a lengthy apology nutshelled they basically said that they thought making Shiro into a badass hero would make killing his boyfriend "okay" and in retrospect realized that killing Adam just cast a bleak and awful picture that gay people can't have happy romantic endings, and that they're sorry for having done it and that the only reason they were even able to make Shiro gay at all was by making compromises elsewhere in the story that they chose not to go into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1gairon Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Woah this this is heavy stuff. This is a great story. They should make an episode plot about this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiro had some kinda space-AIDS in the flashback showing him and Adam together(or some unspecified auto-immune disease that they never mentioned by name, the apology kinda apologized for that too....but only by denying it was AIDS and saying it was more like Parkinsons...yes really) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daos Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Hah, I was about to ask if they realized that being gay is just a phase and went back to women... and they did! Classic. Well you'll always have legend of Korra and Kill la Kill's semi gay endings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic. Well you'll always have legend of Korra and Kill la Kill's semi gay endings. to be fair Keith and Lance were never "officially" confirmed to be gay it was mostly just Naruto and Sasuke-esque uncomfortably romantic friendship scenes....then all of a sudden Keith turned into a vicious abusive piece of shit who wouldn't shut up about how much Lance sucked in season 7 for no explainable or justified reason kinda like how in Steven Universe Lapis went from this to this because her being an emo "heroic sociopath" was more comedically exploitable then her being a sad Disney princess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The1gairon Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 ... a LOT of characters in Steven Universe look the same! It doesn't help when you see younger versions of them, like that flashback of Greg when he was in a band and looks exactly like Steven. Hell, before Lars up n' squacked his damn mouth, I thought he was a woman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
