Voltron Fandom - Bury your gays!

[Ceiling Kitten]

Love how these brats are wailing that the antis got their own way when Klance got kicked in the nuts repeatedly and harder than ANY ship. Allurance happened, and it's canon forever even if she died/ascended.

If anything, imo ANY ships with Lance other than Allurance were absolutely and mercilessl sunk. That boy's in love forever with a single person, whether for bad or good, so anyone thinking that "THE (KL)ANTIS HAD A HAND ON THIS" is talking outta their ass.

You (general you) don't have to like the ending. But these (wo)manchildren's reaction to Bex telling them to stop being assholes are embarrassing and gross. Especially when they basically admit that they were doing it just to kiss ass and get what they wanted from the staff.

Even people who expected him to move on with Pidge are kinda "ehhh, nope" to me. The fact that once Lance really fell in love with Allura he lost interest in flirting with or heart-eyeing at other ladies is very telling (he had no reaction to the very lovely Romelle and Krolia, for example).

Fans like that are so painfully retarded and transparent. "We supported you and loved you and defended you, but you didn't give us our way!" ...which is creepily similar to the logic Incels spout when the object of their affection won't date them.

"Alura is a feminist empowered POC. Now make her into a sex toy for Lotor for fuel for my 50 shades of Twilight"
Yet they diss the GoLion and 80s version for Lotor doing that...

"Allura was done dirty by ending up with the boy who changed his attitude and supported her! She should've hooked up with the liar who used her people as batteries for his shiny new murder machine!" Lotura spergs are starting to amuse me because of how transparent they are.

Berx finally speaks, confirms that there's no OMG SECRET HIDDEN CENSORED ENDING, and also say something VERY true that applies to anyone working in media projects like VLD. Naturally, the same screechy titbabes that crucified the staff for not speaking start tearing Bex apart for not only speaking up, but telling them to STFU and stop being cunts.

Spoiler: BAWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

I wonder if this person has experienced actual [insert minority]-phobia in their life, lol.

Still mad that Shiro didn't marry The Gay Incel aka their fanon version of Keith and Lotor wasn't a ~good victim to project my Daddy/Mommy Issues on~, I see.

Oh look, it's Miss "I Call Lance A Sex Pest While Reducing Allura's Worth To Being Lotor's Sex Kitten" and she's downright delusional. Even one of her clowns is telling them to STFU and stop embarrassing herself.

I love how the "fan counter" and the "critic counter" aree so different... though you know, I'd pay more attention to what people whose work includes giving reviews than fickle fairweather fangirls who are known to brag about giving bad reviews solely based on whether the media gives them what they want or not.

"ALLURA IS BLACK!!" No, she's not. She's never been a ~pee ou cee~, she was just the alien version of a dark elf. And it's gross to see how only her, Lance and Lotor's skin colors matter to these racist shitheads.

"I need attention!!! I'll plug my shitty version of the ~A Queer Teenage Girl's Letter To SPN People" to get it!!!"

Man, I feel damn sorry for Bex. They seem to be a good chap and yet they get abused like this by adults who are way too invested in what's basically a child/teens 's show, based on an oldschool child/teens' shows, which was created as a c/p version of two different child/teens' shows...




I personally would've loved it, but I still remember people bashing the Hell out of Lyle... for not being Neil AND daring to point out how people should not expect him to be Neil just because they looked the same save for the missing eye and the hairstyle. And iirc, some GoLion fans back in the day also complained over Ryou's presence because he basically wasn't Takashi.
So... oh well.

Honestly, I don’t think I’ve seen a fandom that’s this pathetic or this delusional. Why can’t they just accept that the show had a disappointing ending and move on with their lives instead of acting like it’s literally killing them? Honestly, if these people end up committing suicide over this, I wouldn’t even be sad, I would fucking laugh at them. It would just be natural selection taking effect.

Bex didn't even say "'your fanworks don't matter because it's not canon," either. When has canon ever stopped fans from doing whatever they want anyway? Are they afraid the cops are gonna come to their house and arrest them for writing Shiro giving Keith a deep dicking?

Again, this is a series that validates Canon AU's. Remember the part where one of these AU's was shown - and Altea aka Allura's peaceful home planet was the Evil Empire? If canon itself could do it, then why can't these people?! Are they this pathetically desperate for ~canon validation~?

You can say that with every Tumblr Fandom, and you'll still be correct.

You’re giving Bex way too much credit here. She’s a step away from being a Lolcow herself. In fact, the only reason she tweeted “that is the real ending” is because she got upset that some fan replied to one of her tweets, clearly joking, (that was a reply to the Voltron fan podcast she was on) “no thanks, I prefer the real ending” and added someone’s alternate ending fanart. Proof

Bex loves drama and tends to create a lot of it.
Some of her greatest hits include:
- getting into an internet slapfight with young teens because some 13 year old said they wanted someone to slap her
- engaging with or spurring on the extreme side of the fandom on multiple occasions just for fun/to create drama, which in one unfortunate occasion led to an increase in the harassment of her co-worker (Josh Keaton)
- coming out as nonbinary and still calling herself a lesbian
- afterwards, posting a shirtless photo of herself on Instagram to see if they would remove it so she could make some kind of statement
- then getting an interview and proceeding to say that you don’t need dysphoria to be transgender

There’s definitely a lot of stuff I’m forgetting, but she’s always been one to create drama, so don’t give her much credit. I’m not sure if she’s quite lolcow material, but she’s damn close to it.

They can't because it means having to grow up and live in a harsh reality where nothing goes your way so suck it up, Buttercup, and move on. It's easier for them to lose themselves in their Klance fan fiction than getting a job/life due to having been raised by the Internet.

So, I learned JDS and Lauren went to AfterBuzz TV and completely sunk the whole "but MUH TRUE ENDING" shit via stating that their original ideas for the last season were really grimdark and all. Like, Universal Century Gundam levels of character deaths and stuff. Anyone has more concrete information on what they said?

In the meantime, I present you this link. Help, I'm dying of laughter with all of this butthurt.

Apparently, there's an Afterbuzz TV interview that was summarized by Paper Synth here. Based on the summary (I can't listen to the interview, too much noise here), it looks like they had plans to kill off all of the paladins, but Dreamworks wouldn't let them.

Awww, Slav was supposed to have a bigger role and they cut it.

Meanwhile, I'm not surprised in the least by the meltdowns! I think this fandom gets off on their own lingering angst over not getting their way, most others would've moved on with fanworks and AUs and stuff.

Aaaaand there goes the infamous "FREE VOLTRON!!!!! GIVE US THE ENDING YOU GUYS REALLY WANTED!!!!" crap. Because had JDS and Lauren been able to develop the original ideas they had, then we would've had a UC Gundam-like ending with near everyone being killed off...

So much for that "B-the B-BUT THEY WERE LIMITED BY DW and THEY COULDN'T DO WHAT THEY WANTED" victimized narrative where these rabid fans saw themselves as ~the only ones who understood the creators and their intentions ! Turns out what they truly wanted far more destruction and death than the show delivered.

 

[RumblyTumbly]

Allura and Lotor are considered POC representation?

Call me crazy, but I thought the lady with blue streaks on her face and the white haired, yellow eyed, purple man were representing alien species that don't actually exist in real life.

I saw VLD!Allura more as the space version of a dark elf from D&D, to be honest. And Lotor, well, he already was a white-haired/purple-skinned/yellow-eyed alien in the original series (where Allura was a white blond girl), so whatever

 

[Vorhtbame]

"Allura as POC" is probably nothing more than a mix of perpetual victim mentality ("anyone who suffers or is genocided is certainly not white/only whites do genocide") and SJW-client supremacy ("the most individually powerful and important character in any work must be anything but white/straight/male!").

I don't know why it's not offensive to project a racial identity onto people just because they look kindasorta like that race, especially when that identity would mean jack shit to the person in question, but maybe the times have changed and now it's okay for white leisure-class people to patronize nonwhites again.

The idea of everyone dying gives me Cyborg 009 God's War vibes, lol. Everyone dies horribly, the world dies, possibly a scene of their ghosts or reincarnated selves chilling on the beach? (The beach scene would line up with them APPARENTLY wanting to the the show on a high note? Maybe when they said that they meant "sure, rocks fall, everyone dies, but look, they're happy in the afterlife!")

 

[Miang]

So they wanted a super grimdark show ("Castlevania changed the landscape" - Lauren Montgomery) while Dreamworks wanted a happier and adventurous kid's show and the result is this weird, vaguely unsatisfying ending to an all-over-the-place action cartoon. That explains a lot.

What I take from that interview is what I've thought for a while: Laquim are talented artists and "ideas people" but really, sorely need an Aaron/Liz Ehasz to give the writing some muscle and thematic consistency. That isn't to say they suck at writing (some of their ideas sound pretty good) but IMO, it's sort of telling when writers have to explain "what we were going for" as much as they did here.

 

[PoisonedBun]

I would have loved the grimdark ending only because that's the only thing that would have made this shit storm even bigger.
