Voltron WAS NOT a romance show. It’s a show about the main characters finding the strength within themselves, surpassing their insecurities/weaknesses, and growing along the way.
This is a recreation of a beloved cartoon, not a romantic space honeymoon
It’s ok that they sprinkled romance into some aspects of the show but it is NOT the main topic
LGBT rep doesn’t need to be guys making out for it to count as rep. Showing a strong, passionate, loving character that is also LGBT is perfect for what the world needs.
There was no queerbait. Shiro is still gay isn’t he? Queerbaiting is saying that a character is gay to get an LGBT audience and then not making the character gay at all. They said Shiro was gay, and he still is. Not. Queerbait.
LGBT+ REP DOES NOT EQUAL SHOVING IT IN EVERYONES FACE THAT HE IS GAY
The creators DIDNT change his race!!
Allura left a part of her with him in the form of Altean marks so that she would always be with him
His ending fits him perfectly because he is spreading Allura’s messages while living on a peaceful farm with his family. Surrounded by flowers to remind him that he needs to grow and move on
To all those saying he gave up on his dreams of becoming a pilot: did he? For my whole life I wanted to go to school to be a clothing designer but a few years ago I realized I wanted to persue a programming career instead. It’s normal to change what you want to do with your life. After everything Lance went through, it’s understandable that he wanted to settle for a peaceful farm life with his favorite cow
His ending is good. Really good. Amazing.
The world doesn’t need a mediocre character whose only personality is: gay
Shiro is not his sexuality. He is strong, caring, intelligent, fearless, and inspirational
Shiro is a perfect rolemodel to boys that you aren’t defined by who you love, you are defined by your character
You never saw Keith transform the BoM into a humanitarian organization did you?? You never saw Lance set up his farm. You never saw how Hunk establishes his beloved cooking franchise. You never saw how Pidge helped her family train future defenders. OF COURSE YOU DIDNT SEE HOW SHIRO AND HIS HUSBAND BUILT THEIR RELATIONSHIP. THATS THE POINT OF END CARDS. You are supposed to know that they got there, not HOW they got there
Stop complaining. Just stop.
They had a good friendship bond that was left open ended at the end. Be happy
Maybe after the end cards they got together? Nice. Just don’t hate on the show/creators/VAs over it
Why are you guys so crazy over every interaction they had??? I shake hands with my (same sex) friends. I have meangful bonding time with my friends. Are we in love?? Dating? No we are not.
I actually quite like the theory that Allura left Lance a reminder to move on and keep loving. If you guys want to say he ended up with Keith, perfect. If not, that’s ok too. Just please stop spreading hate
Crazy shippers are ruining the show not only for the rest of the fandom, but for the creators as well
Season 8 was well written (just like all the other seasons) and some people are only hating on it because they didn’t get what they wanted. I won’t deny that Voltron did have a few inconsistencies and it definitely wasn’t perfect, but it also doesn’t deserve as much hate as it’s getting
You do realize the animators created the show WAYY before it was released? They couldn’t have changed anything if they wanted to (+ Dreamworks wants to keep making money and knows that many parents don’t want their kids watching LGBT content. That’s just how it is. The world is growing but right now Voltron has provided a step in the right direction by doing everything they could)
Please continue to make fanart, fics, theories, whatever, but do it RESPECTFULLY.
Respect the canon you were given. Respect the choices of the creators. If you don’t like the ending: calmly make fics/art/content set in the different realities (that we were given in S8) instead of shouting at the people who put so much work and effort to bring this show to life
