Do you realize why Shiro being confirmed LGBT is so huge???

Netflix just took a stance on having gay characters, gay HEROES, be a role model for children ages 7 and up!!! Voltron is a show that is targeted to 7+ kids and teens and Netflix gave the thumbs up to have one of the heroes, if not the MAIN hero, be a gay man. Gay people in children’s entertainment is still wildly frowned upon, let alone a BADASS ACTION HERO!!! 

This is like how we all wanted Poe Dameron to be confirmed gay, but actually canonically happening and not unintentional queerbaiting.

This is a huge day for legitimate LGBT representation, and not just shipping headcanon assumptions. The crew decided to make a stand, make a decision, and MADE IT HAPPEN.

This came out of a conversation I had with @klance.defense.squad on Instagram the other day. We are very sad of the way some Klances and Sheith Shippers are treating each other and that must change!

🔹

Voltron Legendary Defender is not about the shipping, is a coming-of-age story about Friendship and self-discovery and maning up to adversities. The shipping is just a topping WE the fandom added to it. The creators are NOT obligated to make anything we want to. No ship is end game and that’s ok!

You want your ship to be represented? You can write fanfiction, you can draw, you can cosplaying, you can roleplaying! Use your creativity to express your love for your OTP!

🔹

There’s no excuse to be rude, agressive or to bully another person under any circunstances! We came to this fandom because we love the show, we have that in common, let’s hold onto that!

🔹

Please keep our fandom healthy! Be polite to each other. NO MORE HATE! No more stupid ship wars!
