Voltron Fandom - Bury your gays!

[Munchingonfish]

They are getting it COMPLETELY wrong. Toei sold GoLion/Voltron Daiguger XV And Star Musketeer Bismarck/Saber Riders lock stock and barrel to World Events Productions (WEP) back in the 80’s. WEP owns it all. They are a family owned US entertainment company (Very nice people too. I’ve talked to some of them.) based out of St. Louis. A nice old school midwestern type family business. They are likely completely befuddled by these insane gay bromance shippers and the accompanying death threats.

@Cho Chan explained the autism.

In the first season of Voltron AIDS, this character showed up in the background.

Which is a reference to Roy from Robotech. There are Voltron and Robotech crossover comics but this was just an easter egg.

Tumblr Queens are mad because this cameo character is going to ruin the years worth of porn they've collected by marrying their masturbate bait Shiro. That is if the leaks are true. They want Harmony Gold or some other piece of the Macross puzzle to sue DreamWorks to stop it from happening. Harmony Gold is dumb but probably not that retarded.

Spoiler: Explaining the Joke

Roy in the original says that he’s looking forward to eating pineapple salad after the battle. Then he died.

Oh Harmony Gold IS that exceptional. Look into them sometime. They really deserve a thread here. They are actual International Mobsters, Criminal Convictions and everything. And one of the reasons the Italian economy collapsed as they were looting the treasury and kicking it back to ex PM Silvio Berlesconi's son. But the final unquestioning court rulings came down recently that they have no actual rights to any of the character designs they claim rights to. Including Roy Fokker.

Final season, I guess. K l a n c e I s N o t C a n o n

Good morning everyone, the day of reckoning is here...

The leaks were all real. Except they changed Shiro’s waifu for some reason. Possibly due to copyright or backlash?

Eh, it's likely that Shiro's husband never looked like Roy in the first place, but the leaker shooped the pictures to make him look like Roy so they could distract the fans who would be way too busy bitching about Roy to realize what would go on in the end.

And holy Hell, it worked like a charm.

(I like his design, though., and he and Shiro look hot together anyway. It's also a prospect slap to the face of the whiners who were whining QUEERBAITING - well, what about Shiro happily marrying a hot dude in the end? Huh? Huuuuuh?)

Incredibly, showing a literal gay marriage is somehow still queerbaiting.

So a gay guy survives a whole series with lots of deaths (including his first boyfriend), gets his happy ending AND marries a hot guy... and the babies keep whining because he didn't mourn enough for his lost love? WTF?!

A gay guy getting his happy ending with a hot dude is BAD because his husband is not the guy that some twits wanted for him. LOL.

Maybe it's because they don't really care about "queer representation" and just want to see their yaoi ships be cannon

 

[Skeletor]

Good lord, Voltron is trending on twitter and I have no idea wtf everyone is pissed off about.

 

[Inquisitor_BadAss]

I have no idea wtf everyone is pissed off about.

People who haven’t known genuine hardship get hung on the smallest things.

 

[Skeletor]

I mean I literally spent ten minutes trying to figure out what’s pissing people off and all I can tell is there’s some gay dude who got married and that’s “queerbaiting” or whatever. I thought this show was about giant robots and shit.

 

[madethistocomment]

I hate to validate the idiots on twitter, but I watched the finale and Shiro marrying some rando who didn't even get a name felt like major damage control on the studio's part to please all the people who flipped the fuck out at last season. Didn't work, obviously, but that's what it felt like they were trying to do.

A gay guy marrying a dude who is NOT the one that many rabid shippers wanted him to marry = queerbaiting. Who knew!

 

[RodgerDodger]

I swear the modern Netflix Voltron fandom seriously needs to be institutionalized. Never forget the important social purpose Tumblr served. It walled these idiots off from the rest of us.

It has been wildly entertain8ng to watch the interplay between the old traditional Voltron fans. Largely 30-40 something nerds who quietly talk about Japanese transforming robot toys. Generally a fairly placid group so long as nobody gives them any sugar or sharp objects. And these new Netflix Spergs. With their weird obsessive shipping, and how intense and creepy they are about it. I think the only question about sexuality the old school Voltron fans ever had was “no really, what the fuck is Pidge?” (Sadly we now know the answer, Classic Pidge was simply “ahead of its time” and an early warning of the social madness to come.)

 

[DogEatDogFood]

If they are already sperging about Shiro, imagine when they reveal that Lance ends with Allura lmao

 

[Miang]

Which is more believable: the existence of flying robot space cats, or the idea that any of these people actually care about the happiness of gay men?

 

[PoisonedBun]

To summerize the reasons people are angry to those who are confused:

-Shiro was established as gay last season with a boyfriend who was on screen for about 8 seconds before getting killed. This upset quite a few people.
-Constant executive meddling was all but confirmed around this time, as the writing staff had to fight for the scene saying they were lovers that was still censored from some international cuts. It is heavily speculated that the plot became severely derailed early on and that Shiro’s destiny was to die at the climax of the series, so this whole ending was off the cuff.
-Because the crew was scrambling for an ending, as a bandaid solution to the incredibly upset fans, Shiro is allowed to marry a rando at the end of the last episode. He was previously a reference to a Macross character, but now is a completely different design for reasons unknown.
-A main character, a black woman, was killed in the finale.
-Fan favorite character Lotor who was hinted at to still be alive has his grotesquely rotten corpse shown slightly on screen.

 

[IdaRita]

I'm cuurious - are any young boys who are fans of this new show?
At least they did not made this absurdly stupid thing with making character from other show Shiro's husband.

 

[PoisonedBun]

Updated the OP to include everything that's happened in the last little bit. Voltron is also currently trending on twitter, along with Allura, the name of the black woman.

Dear God.
