I got off the voltron train in season one and haven’t looked back since but I was under the impression it was liked by its fans. What changed?
rabid shippers held the episodes ransom until their ship was canon. they accused the writers of being homophobic and queer bating because their ship wasnt canon. general harassment and actions that would make the fans ancestors disappointed.

freakxwannaxbe said: there was also a character whose whole purpose was to get fridged and to show off that a main character was gay, who had 3 minutes of show-time, and when he died it was suddenly queerbaiting for breaking up the two of them; despite like, the two of them breaking up pre-show, and a main character who is gay still existing, so there was a lot of “this show is bad now” because of that too
freakxwannaxbe said: angry shippers and antis happened, mostly klance shippers, they harassed the voice actors and crew and threatened them when it was obvious klance wasn’t going to be “canon king” (because the two literally have no romantic interest in each other in canon), started harrassing them more, claiming “klance is the only reason this show is good” combination of crazy fans making other people dislike the show + crazy fans now hating the show = the show itself is now bad

Spoiler: I’m not in it either but frim what I gathered from people I follow, they killed a character after they were engaged to another character of the same sex. That’s just part of it but I know a LOT of the fanbase left after that happened

moyurukoda said: Not that that’s a good thing but that character was only really introduced to show that one of the main characters is lgbt
moyurukoda said: They killed off a gay character that is onscreen for >3 minutes so now it’s the most homophobic show ever or something

Apparently shiro had a boyfriend all along whom he’s never mentioned before in the show and died before he ever got a proper introduction and is only seen in 1 flashback scene. At least that’s the thing i’m most iffy about xtiger134 liked this
