I think this petition is a nice, level headed way to inform Dreamworks about the incredible demand for happy ,natural lgbt arcs.
I was hurt too, but not as much as many young lgbt kids, who thought the overhyped marketing Netflix built around the Shiro Adam pair were disappointed. I read hundreds of stories and open letters by kids who wanted to use this show after the big fanfare to come out to their parents while watching this season together. But it was obviously the usual too subtle for casual viewers to even notice kind of representation.
And people are still convinced an 8 season long Keith -Lance arc will come to a happy end last season.
I have an incredible respect for the creators, animators, and the voice actors, I love them all, I interacted with some of them on social media, but both sides are right this case.
Several things they said during interviews might turn out to be a lie, if that’s the case, I hope they address it in a longer letter, or interview, telling is the behind the scenes battles with the Dreamworks bosses, holding back the creative freedom- which was expected from Netflix.
It’s sad that there is no supply for the incredible demand.
And I’M glad at least everyone condemned the aggressive, verbally abusive fans.
I hope I can finally see myself in a character in a subtle romantic subplot before I turn 80.
