OKAY. time for de salt. ----- dont fucking read this if u dont wanna get triggered.
I am so, sooooo salty about this fandoms reaction to Allurance moments and Adam’s death. I AM SO FUCKING SALTY.
Lemme explain.
ALLURANCE
I’ve heard the argument that Allurance is encouraging “ No means yes if you are persistent enough”. IT. IS. NOT. PERIOD.
In the beginning of Lance and Allura’s interactions, Lance’s behavior was disrespectful. He didn’t have respect for Allura as a teammate and a friend. He simply saw her as another girl he could flirt with. Which led him to hit on her all the time. HE WAS REJECTED EVERY SINGLE TIME.
As time progressed we watched him grow and change. He got closer with the Paladins and with Allura becoming a Paladin herself, he was able to connect with her a little more. This started too change his view of her. Less of a gorl with bobbies and more a teammate he could depend on. He started to acknowledge her other qualities besides how pretty she is. And when Lotor came around he REALLY sat there and reflected on himself.
After all his revelations, Lance no longer hit on Allura, he hasn’t hit on the Princess in a while. He respects her, her decisions, and sees her for the incredible person she really is. NOW, now that he has changed his behavior, now that he’s treating Allura with the respect she deserves, now she is starting to see him in a new light.
VLD did not reward Lance’s behavior. It suffocated it until he learned from his mistakes and drank his respect wamen juice.
ADAM
The VLD cast and Crew is receiving a lot of hate regarding Adam’s death. They’ve said that VLD is using the “bury your gays” trope and that it’s queer baiting. I HAVE, MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS. As someone who roleplays Shiro and loves Shiro to death- here goes.
Adam has around 3 minutes of screentime in all 7 seasons of Voltron. He is a minuscule side character. We know nothing about him besides that he is Shiro’s ex boyfriend, he’s a pilot in the Garrison, and he broke up with Shiro. We don’t know his likes, dislikes, how he behaves, if he’s a goof or more serious, his values, morals, ethic, etc. NOTHING. We know next to nothing about the man. And yet, people LATCHED onto him, understandably so, being an LGBT character I suppose. But I have a sneaking suspicion it was mostly K/L shippers because they deluded themselves into thinking Adam and Shiro were still a thing or that they were going to get back together.
I have a hard time believing anyone really got BEYOND emotionally attached to a character that was on screen for less than 5 minutes that we know nothing about JUST because they’re lgbt.
My suspicions aside, People got attached to a minor side character and were sad when he died and then called queerbaiting and shit representation. Ladies and gentleman of the jury, I would like to point you to - EXHIBIT A.
TAKASHI MOTHERFUCKING SHIROGANE.
Our LGBT rep. The Gay man who has suffered the most in Voltron Legendary Defender. An invisible illness eating away at his muscles. Kidnapped by hostile Aliens. Forced to fight for his life in an Arena as entertainment for others. Tortured, The trauma of having his arm removed for a cybernetic one he never truly connected with. Suffers from PTSD. Pulled into a war and involuntarily made the leader of the front lines to said war (no matter how prepared he was to be leader he was still GIVEN the role of leader.). Has died once. Spent what probably felt like eternity in an astral plane trying to not lose his mind. Almost didn’t make it in the new body. Lost a loved one.
All of this and Takashi still finds the strength to stand up and fight. He refuses to give up. He stands tall and says “ I’m not going anywhere.” No matter how hard he is hit. He is strong and noble. He is kind and nurturing. Despite what he could’ve been from his outward appearance, he is a big softie. He shows boys they can be kind, they can give each other compliments, they can have close bonds and friendships, they can show affection, and still be masculine.
Takashi is proof that being Gay is such a small part of who you are as a whole and your sexuality doesn’t make you any different from the person next to you, it doesn’t make you any less or any more. Because YOU, are more than just a sexuality.
He’s been through a lot yet he stands tall and proud. This is your LGBT representation. An Asian, amputee, mentally ill Gay man. This is the man of the hour. And he is the best LGBT rep I have seen in a while or EVER really.
So when we have this amazing man, representing us and I see people harassing VA’s, yelling queerbaiting because Adam is dead... (Even though being single doesn’t make Shiro any less Gay.)
Adam, a man in the line of duty to protect Earth during a war in it’s most volatile moments... is dead.
I just can’t believe this fandom sometimes. I really can’t and it’s why I’ve disappeared from my Lance blog. Lance is far too much attached to this kind of discourse. I am just so tired and seeing LGBT people working hard to bring us LGBT representation and YOU SHIT HEAD 15 YEARS OLDS ON TUNGLR.HELLSITE.COM AND TWITTER.COM/DRINKBLEACHB4SCROLL SHITTING ON IT BECAUSE IT’S NOT EXACTLY HOW YOU WANTED IT OR BECAUSE IT’S NOT YOUR SHIP.. i just... implode dude.
I love Shiro. You should learn to love him too.
