I feel bad for the cast and crew of Voltron for having to deal with such a rabid and toxic fandom.

UPDATE: More possible leaks incoming. The black woman dies.
The first ones are from Malaysia, the second from Poland. It appears they were originally posted on Twitter on blank accounts for very short periods of time before being taken down again. The company making the Dutch dub are possibly involved, but no one knows for sure. They're basically coming out of the void, whoever's doing this is being very sneaky.

Not sure if related, but I wonder if this has to do with the fans threatening to spread spoilers if their ship isn't going to be canon.

Yeah, all the leaks that supposedly come from Malayasia are fakes. Voltron hasn't aired in Malaysia past season 2.

So I guess leaking spoilers is literally worse than refusing to take down accidentally-leaked spoilers to blackmail Studio Mir/DreamWorks into making your ship canon--except not because it supposedly was done by an anti-shipper to make Klance shippers look bad (at the time but they quickly blew themselves up).
I sincerely, legitimately hope the writers are purposefully trolling these brats as they have their eyes on the clock, counting down to the very last episode. I'm honestly surprised no one's gotten in huge legal trouble, lost their job, or heaven-forbid were killed over this shit, the discourse is insane.

The 7 seasons thing is just Netflix marketing. The show got a 78 episode order and that's been split over eight releases. That's how a cartoon that only premiered in 2016 has that many seasons. Netflix does this with a lot of their shows.

Another supposed leak, courtesy of the Voltron /co/ thread. No other ideas about it's origin. Not much to say about this one:
Except the typo, of course.
UPDATE:
From an intern:
Uh oh!

Do you think that a Korrasami/Bubbline effect can happen where the writters can get so sick of the shippers sperging or they decide that they want to pander to the woke crowd that they decide just to make muh fucking queer ship canon at the end?

I was courious about this voltron show, but fandom killed all my enthusiasm. I don't think I will try to watch it in near 10 years.
And it's tiring that every cartoon must have token gay couple now and media don't shut up about that.

Still salty about Adam huh?
Also some proof regarding the copyright takedown notice:
"My ship isn't canon despite an Asian guy with a prosthetic arm having a interracial gay marriage? You're a racist homophobic ableist piece of shit!"

See, this is why you should never try to appease these people. Forgiveness is not in their vocabulary, so if you committed a transgression against them once, even a slight one, they will always see you as the enemy.

It's still an enormous order when most other cartoons are ordered in 12-24ish episode blocks, and anything additional is hotly negotiated for cost. Making it past season 3 in any animated series is a big deal.

Apparently the people behind Korrasami wrote Voltron, to the surprise of no one. It’s important to note in both of the cases you mentioned, they essentially slipped the gay end into the storyboard without telling anyone else, including the execs.
But I’m not sure how this happened, considering earlier in the thread I said that the Adam situation was botched because of executive meddling. That was what we were told, but that is clearly not the case if you’re going to let two characters kiss each other on the mouth at their gay wedding. Were they just lying?

Someone on reddit point out that the reason why some of the "leak" got DMCA'd is not because they're real, but maybe because how the "leaker" slapped the PROPERTY OF DREAMWORKS on it.

While it’s not uncommon for fans to “ship” fictional characters and try to get studio heads to make these romances canon, one Voltron superfan has allegedly taken things to the next level by resorting to straight up blackmail.
Voltron: Defender of the Universe is an American animated series featuring a team of astronauts who pilot a super robot known as Voltron. The cartoon originally ran in the mid 1980s and spawned two follow-up series and several comic books.
The latest iteration of the cult classic came in 2016 with Voltron: Legendary Defender, a reboot collaboration between Netflix, DreamWorks Animation and Studio Mir, who animates the series.
Though the show is quite popular, some tension has arisen in the community after one superfan posted unauthorized photographs of confidential storyboards online after taking a tour of Studio Mir.
The images spread like wildfire on Twitter and Tumblr, which left the studio exposed to lawsuits from DreamWorks if they were unable to successfully remove the sketches.
"@Miss_Mcgarden Thank you for your help. And We've already forbidden any shooting inside the studio. The leaked material was taken without permission.
— Studio Mir (@Mir_mung_mir) May 26, 2017"
Most fans complied with requests to take down the leaked photographs, but Tumblr user “Klance14,” who identified him/herself as one of the original leakers, has refused to delete the images.
When asked by Studio Mir, the fan said they would only take down the photographs if the studio actualized the relationship between Klance, the fictionalized couple name of Voltron protagonists Keith and Lance.
While this particular pairing is popular in the fandom, several fans of the show have taken to social media to express anger over Klance14’s tactics.
Though it’s unclear what if any action DreamWorks will take against Studio Mir for the leaks, it seems highly unlikely that the situation will be resolved by making the Klance romance a reality.

Somebody asked for Jeremy Shada discourse????
As always, We put the stupidest comments at the top.
This week, in vld fandom discourse, Jeremy Shada spoke during an interview at the Vancouver Convention about how he was tired of the klantis who spam his instagram & deliberately take everything he says & does out of context to push their ship.
The klantis, of course, did not take this well.
But as we ALL know, they’ll forgive him by the end of next week when he makes the mistake of wearing a red shirt with blue jeans or standing in front of a poster with red & blue colors. But for now, he is to be crucified by the klancedom for his statements.
Oh, and what exactly were his statements?
https://twitter.com/orcacove/status/1051345835462676481
Transcript:
Interview: —-anything, & it’s interpreted as, “Oh, well this must mean that the showrunners are secretly trying to get Jeremy to confirm-”
Jeremy: Yeaaaaahhhh…..exactly! Or-or! I think even more so than that is like, [raises eyebrows] “Jeremy’s just secretly trying to confirm it & they won’t let him confirm it & he’s like giving us little hints~. Dropping little things & like we’re in the fandom like Sherlock Holmes, trying to piece it all together~. [pointing finger in the shape of a star] “We’re getting it, this means THIS!” They have like the whole webbed wall of like “he said this!” & “he said this!”. “He wore that shirt, that MUST confirm it!” “That photo had a filter that was THIS!” “Oh the colors! The colors, guys!!! It’s confirmed!”
Interviewer: Yeah, a little bit of red, a little bit of blue-
Jeremy: Yeaaaaaahhhhh-
Interviewer: And what that means-
Jeremy: EXACTLY…..You know what that means…….And that’s the funniest thing to me, is I won’t be thinking about it in any way, shape or form, but then afterwards I’m like [makes groaning sound & covers his face with a hand].
Interviewer: “I’ll wear a purple shirt today~.”
Jeremy: Yeah……So that’s where it all comes from! So to answer your question, which I totally just uhhhhh…..COMPLETELY avoiding……in every way, shape & form possible…….uhhhhhh……I don’t know!
Please stop spamming the poor man. It’s been 2 years.

I think you're falling for the Netflix marketing. If it were on a TV channel, Voltron would be ending in its third season. The upcoming batch is its last. If you remove Netflix's schizo release schedule from your mind, that's 26 episodes made each year in 2016/2017/2018. None of the other DreamWorks Netflix cartoons are under 52 episodes. That's probably their minimum order. That would mean Voltron would've gotten renewed once or twice.
