day # 14 - space

Ok, guys.... I've seen too many posts about this, so I guess It's my turn to add an opinion.

I just want to preface this by saying that I am a queer person (as in... not cishet... not cis or het...)

Ok, with that out of the way... Why in the world are we saying Voltron is Queerbait??? We don't have anything to go off of?? The show literally just started and we barely have any interactions. I'm not going to lie, there are a few interactions that could be argued for being intimate, but we don't have anything to go off of???

We don't know the character's back stories????

We know Lance has a big family and that Pidge has a brother and parents. We know that Keith has/had a dad that may or may not have lived in The Shack. We know - or assume - that Keith's mother was at least part Galra. (As a biracial person, having Keith being half Galra is a big personal headcannon of mine. And I 100% identify with the "not fitting in on either side" deal, so that would be great for me if that's what we find out) And we know that Lotor is half Galra/half Altean (👀👌 biracial representation right there my boi) We know Allura had a dad for sure, but did she have any siblings? What happened to her mother? Did she have any cousins? Did Coran have any family? A significant other? Children? Perhaps he had a daughter and sees her in Allura.

We don't know anything about these characters!!!!!

We have head-cannons and "what if"s!!!

The only thing sexuality-wise we know about the Voltron characters is that Lance may or may not be attracted to women. However, he has flirted with at least two alien women.

The only "trans-maybe" representation we have is a short comedic scene with Pidge freezing at the bathroom signs.

Please don't make a mountain out of a mole-hill.

Please stop harassing the producers!!!

Do you understand how easy it can be for the producers to just.... Stop producting Voltron: Legendary Defenders?

Do you know if the cast has a clause in their contracts that prohibit them from quitting? Do you know if they have to pay a fee if they do?

Do you want to risk it?

They can just be like "alright guys, wrap it up. Don't even worry about finishing what you have, we're going to submit it as is. I know it was fun but these brats are screwing with our numbers. The cast hates working with the ungrateful fans and they quit and it's too costly to recast this far into the game."

If this thing gets cut short, Voltron Legendary Defenders will be another crappy reboot.

Stop risking the show because you're ungrateful.

Stop it. Be patient.

"Yeah, who am I gonna make fun of?" -Lance, agreeing with Pidge that he will, in fact miss Keith, whilst (technically) giving Keith a hug.

Matt.
