I think it is a bit early to say that, since we don’t know how this new info will be incorperated into the future seasons . Unlike with dumbledore where Rowling just kinda put it out there(from at least from what I remember). Do understand that doubt though…but I’m always crossing my fingers for more Queer characters of color haha!
i. sorry. but I don’t think it matters how it’s incorporated into the future episodes, given how zilch it’s been there so far. he’s been gay this whole time (supposedly. or bi?). there’s no reason he, as a character, had to hide it, or for the showmakers to, unless it wasn’t the plan at the start. i don’t mean to rant but...here’s my train of thought.
if this had always been shiro’s backstory, there would have been a really easy way to reveal it real early on with...keith.
keith would’ve said something about adam after they found shiro alive. this...isn’t something one does not discuss with a previously believed to be deceased close dear good friend. only way he wouldn’t have is if keith didn’t know about adam. which i find hard to figure, if keith was really like a brother to shiro and had known him so many years.
so. hiding a boyfriend? from very close personal (family) person? maybe “justifiable” with a story reason to hide adam from keith. which is ew. skeevy. .
but. if it wasn’t originally part of shiro’s backstory, it sure...feels a whole lot like a consolation concession. like, hey, we noticed some non straight people watching this show, how about. uh. here, here you can have one (1) character. we cool now? aight. good. we’re square, right?
so - if it was the plan from the start why make people wait until nearly the end to have one (1) unambiguously non straight character?
and - if it was not planned from the start, they waited until nearly the end to have one (1) unambiguously non straight character.
you can’t just have zero lgbt rep for the vast majority of the show, retcon one (1) character as lgbt and call it a day. too little too late there bud.
maybe i’m looking a gift horse in the mouth. maybe i should just be happy there finally is one (1) unambiguously lgbt character in a show where i never thought they’d take that risk. that’s a valid point. but maybe i’m just tired of this.
tl;dr not a fan of this whole oh yeah, he was gay this whole time didncha know thing
rifleandsilk replied to your post: no more voltron talk. im blocking the tag,...
man now I’m a bit hesitant to watch it now with all the uproar (Not actually sure what happened other than people being really angry, have been avoiding due to spoilers and no longer having netflix access )
mmmMMM. well. so you know, my voltron tag is now “anyway voltron is garbage” so, tumblr savior that if you dont want to see any of my spoiler posts. ...and that should sum up what my feelings are now.
I can’t recommend it. just can’t. i wish i’d never watched voltron at all at this point.
i hope you’re a lot smarter and better off than current me. and i hope that you are more confident in yourself and better able to cope with issues than i am. i hope that you finally find a way out of nihilistic thinking and find something in life that makes you happy enough to consider living a privilege and not a punishment.
i also hope you’re able to have some communication with people you miss, who you never got a chance to get the final word in with.

got to talk to her yet?
I mean, I've talked to her because we both went on the staff beach trip and a pretty good time interacting with each other. But at work she's super serious.
