mochi Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Ahh so homosexuals don't like seeing straight romance now? Didn't know that. the ones up in arms are mostly fujoshis (aka women who think gay men are "cute things" for them to collect like pokemon) I tend to be ravenous about gay stuff but only if I'm led to believe a conscious effort was made to malign or exclude us I also hate stereotypes whereas Fujoshi love them and think they are insulted when actual gay people don't behave in line with stereotypes I also have a hang up about Voltron legendary defender but that's more dissapointment that the writers didn't use the fact that they were on netflix to do a BETTER JOB at Gay represenation then they did on Legend of Korra in Legend of Korra they wanted Korra and Asami to be a couple but they were only allowed to imply it "subtly" and were not allowed to let them kiss on Netflix they could've shown a gay couple actually kiss but it didn't even occur to them to try what a missed opportunity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mochi Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Having not seen Voltron, what did it have to do with gayness? the writing staff previously worked on the Legend of Korra (which ended with two female characters as a romantic couple) and Season 1 of Voltron Legendary defender had some mild queerbaiting (such as making it seem like Pidge was a Transgender girl and having Keith say ship-teasy things such as "we had a moment, I cradled you in my arms" to Lance) then in season two they explicitly confirmed that everyone was heterosexual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 You don't change a series that existed prior like that. As for Voltron, everything with Keith and Lance was headcanon and I'm kinda sick of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Not with the lead relationships. Besides, Keith being Galra is a Voltes V reference more than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did hear that Pidge's gender was ambiguous but I just assumed the gay shipping were all stuff the fans made up, not anything the creators included in the show FOR THE PURPOSE of queer-baiting.

mochi Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 y'know watching this without a mouthfull of tequila is making me somewhat more annoyed with how Jack and Ashi were behaving in it it isn't even that it's rushed it's that they're both so out of character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
