the suffering never ends
Even LGBT people are afraid to create LGBT rep half the time because you fucking goblins critique things with LGBT rep so harshly that the second it does something that you personally don’t like it gets treated even worse than the shows that have absolutely no rep in them.
Demonizing every show that is earnestly trying to provide the rep we’ve been lacking is NOT THE WAY TO GET BETTER REP
everyone take my 114 result ‘which character are you’ uquiz
Just hearing about people thinking that tdp is going to do the trop even when the season is not even out yet and how they are going crazy and over analyzing that gives me anxiety about how people might not watch the show or enjoy the season because they’re over analyzing it scares me. I hope you get what I’m mean/saying.
I completely understand what you’re saying. Seeing that small spoiler definitely got everyone anxious since you what what did that not that long ago.
I just wish everyone could think of it like this: it’s a flashback right? A historical one? This could be about something dealing with a human kingdom.
Let me bring up one theory I’ve seen floating around-the flashback being Aanya’s parents (two moms? Dads?). Aanya is a young queen, so maybe this tells us how she got on the throne at such a young age.
Now the one thing I’m really glad for is the fact that the TDP writers didn’t tell us who it was. They didn’t go “this season you’re going to meet ____” and THEN we found out. They’re side characters, not main. I think that’s one reason why I’m not that concerned as I should be, we really haven’t met them yet.
Which I think is hypocritical of me because when I first got on and read the spoiler I went “oh yay, another v-slur move”. But then something happened. Aaron tweeted.
He didn’t wait after a couple of days to reason with some half-assed apology. He tweeted a few hours later to left us know that he is aware about how everyone is feeling. Then we had people who were at the panel speak up and say to not drop the show yet-they know something that we don’t and we should listen.
Just….please guys I know this bothers some but don’t give up just yet. We don’t even know what happens. Let’s wait until s2 drops to see, okay?
Can you roll your tongue like this?
If you CAN, then please REBLOG. This is for serious science! because I have an assignment in my biology class to do a survey on how many people can or cannot roll their tongues. If you CANNOT roll your tongue like that, then please FAVOURITE this post! you can de-favourite the post or delete it from your blog in about two weeks if you desire to do so, but I plead you to take part in this survey of serious sience! thank

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.
