@bi-pilots:

still more lgbt rep in one season than ve el dee had in seven

“Keef…” my tongue is slow, I can barely move it. “Lance…”

“KEITH AND LANCE, WRITE THAT DOWN,” the scientist yells. “Who were Keith and Lance?”

“…not…….gay.”

“What?”

“They weren’t gay,” a sudden fire rushes over me. “They were there. They were supposed to be together.” I shake vigorously, but no longer in fear. I am angry, and I grip the scientist’s hand. “Where are my children?”

The scientist is trying to pull away, baffled. “O-our records say you didn’t have children…”

“I KNOW that. I need to see Keith and Lance.”

“Who are Keith and Lance?” another scientist tries to calm me. “Describe them.”

I rack my brain. What did I call them again? “They were….”

“Yes?”

“A good team… they were soulmates… they were my otp… they were…. they were……”

“Take your time.”

“Canon king.”

“Oh no…” The scientist’s eyes widen. I am strapped down, and start struggling against my constraints. “Call the president…”

So uh…. Good morning.

So I think it’s pretty obvious by now that the reception to season 7 has been less than… good. The fan base has been shattered. People are upset, angry, and abandoning this series in droves (I’ve lost over 50 followers as I write this, just from people no longer wanting anything to do with this show) and have been incredibly vocal as to the reason why.

They killed Adam. 

After two weeks of receiving praise for the relationship that was revealed at San Diego Comic Con, fans discovered on Friday night that Adam’s existence would be short lived, further contributing to this popular “Bury Your Gays” trope. 

And I’ve seen people confused at this outcry. They don’t understand why people are so upset at this tiny side character’s death. What’s the big deal, right? It’s war! There’s supposed to be casualties!

And to that kind of response I have to narrow my eyes and go:

“Oh…. maybe you understand the history of this.”

Because it is a history. A rich one. “Bury your gays” isn’t a trope in the same why that “Fake dating” is a trope. It’s not popular out of coincidence and I feel like many people are ignorant of that, which is FAIR! Because most voltron fans are young, most tumblr users are young, so I don’t expect you to be watching documentaries on LGBT+ cinema in between studying for your chemistry exams. 

So that’s where I come in. Buckle in children as I take you on a journey on why the “Bury your gays” trope exists, and the harmful ramifications that it has had on the LGBT+ community since its inception.
