Alright so... I never wanted this to be my first post, and I especially didn’t want it to be my first post about the Dragon Prince. I’m pretty sure a lot of you (assuming people will see this) know what I’m talking about.
The allegations of TDP queer baiting.
Now, before we start, I’d like to say that I understand being upset. As a part of the LGBTQ+ community, I know how much queer baiting and the bury your gays trope hurts. I am not in any way, shape, or form saying those tropes are okay. I am, however, saying we might be judging the show too early.
First of all, the characters in question are allegedly side characters. This doesn’t make it okay, but it does mean they are not killing of a non-straight main character. This is not an Adam repeat.
Second of all, we have been promised other rep. These side characters are not the promised rep. The show staff are not killing off our main rep.
Thirdly, this even allegedly takes place in a flashback. This allows me to assume that they may be some sort of historical figures or such. It would make sense for them to be dead if it’s related to an even that happened that killed off not only them but others as well. They do not seem to be killing them off just because.
Lastly, if you look at Aaron Ehaz’s twitter, He and someone who has seen the episode have addressed the issue. Aaron has agnoliged how hurtful the tropes in question are and has said the writers did their best not to fall into the trope. The other person to address it has said they don’t really think it fell into the trope and that it is not comparable to what happened to Adam. They said it was not used for shock value.
The Dragon Prince is not Voltron 2. They are lisenting to us and our concerns. They are not marketing to us just to get our money only to pay us back with what they know will hurt us. They are not saying we’re overreacting.
Anyway, that’s really all I wanted to say. I know this isn’t the best defense post ever, but I had to say something. Voltron hurt me just like it did many others. I truly believe The Dragon Prince will be different.
Thank you to anyone who actually read this whole thing. I hope you’ll stick around to see where this show may go.

DO NOT DO THIS.
This makes me so angry.
If you work in a movie theater and you do this I have no respect for you.
My younger brother is Type 1 Diabetic.
When we go to a movie theater, we always get him diet soda. If he were to get regular when we asked for diet, we would not give him the insulin he would need for it. If that happens, his blood sugar level could go so high he could go into a coma, go blind, or even die.
If somebody gave him regular soda instead of diet without telling us, that person could be responsible for a nine-year-old being killed or blinded.
Just thinking about that makes me so angry. I get scared every time we take him to a movie in case the people working there saw this picture and decide to do the same thing.
Please signal boost this so people know.
I’m doing a project on gay rights in today’s society.
So if you believe that same sex couples should be allowed to get married, please reblog this.
This would be a lot of help, thank you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DUMBASS #1 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 10/30
Ty allie for da meme. Also look at cat
are some of the people newer to tumblr aware of the joys of theme customization on desktop? I know some ppl are just on mobile so they can’t really change things but like SO many blogs nowadays have 0 theme customization and just use the default theme and I’m beginning to wonder if they even know about the option. It’s one of the main reasons why I still use tumblr
So happy to see Brendon stream games on Twitch, he’s becoming such a good streamer!
After a bit of talking with my girlfriend and a friend of mine I’ve decided I won’t do it right now. I still am feeling suicidal. I can’t calm down at all, my hands are shaking and I’m having trouble writing this.
My suicide date is July 25th.
For every note this post gets, I will push it back by a day.
They burned children alive. Israeli bombing of a school containing displaced people in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood in Gaza
