So I think it’s pretty obvious by now that the reception to season 7 has been less than… good. The fan base has been shattered. People are upset, angry, and abandoning this series in droves (I’ve lost over 50 followers as I write this, just from people no longer wanting anything to do with this show) and have been incredibly vocal as to the reason why.
They killed Adam.
After two weeks of receiving praise for the relationship that was revealed at San Diego Comic Con, fans discovered on Friday night that Adam’s existence would be short lived, further contributing to this popular “Bury Your Gays” trope.
And I’ve seen people confused at this outcry. They don’t understand why people are so upset at this tiny side character’s death. What’s the big deal, right? It’s war! There’s supposed to be casualties!
And to that kind of response I have to narrow my eyes and go:
“Oh…. maybe you understand the history of this.”
Because it is a history. A rich one. “Bury your gays” isn’t a trope in the same why that “Fake dating” is a trope. It’s not popular out of coincidence and I feel like many people are ignorant of that, which is FAIR! Because most voltron fans are young, most tumblr users are young, so I don’t expect you to be watching documentaries on LGBT+ cinema in between studying for your chemistry exams.
So that’s where I come in. Buckle in children as I take you on a journey on why the “Bury your gays” trope exists, and the harmful ramifications that it has had on the LGBT+ community since its inception.

lmaooo
I can’t think of a gayer society than ancient greece
Ancient Greece…followed Christianity…???
Ancient Greece, the civilization that had an island of Lesbians,
homoerotic heroes, had deities that engaged in homosexuality, and
existed 1000 years before Christianity
The Greeks were about Zeus entire DICK not Christianity
I’m sorry I’ve re blogged this like 3 times but this is the FUNNIEST fucking thing I’ve seen in AGES
Emuparadise, one of the biggest sources for Roms and ISOs for 18 years finally caved to the bullying of game publishers that don’t care about archiving and preserving games and will no longer host roms.
So send up one last salute for a site that helped paved the way in preserving games as we have to now go and dig deeper in the bowels of the internet for these games in the future.
man, now I gotta find other sources to fill up my NES and SNES Classics with
Really sucks because Emuparadise one of the last “safe” Rom sites so now we’re stuck with shady databases full of ads and fake-download buttons that are like navigating the untamed jungle.
PLEASE take a look at these two sites. both are complete legit sites for ROM downloads. the UI is clean, professional looking, and easy to navigate and there’s no ads or other bullshit. im actually disappointed i didnt know about these sites earlier
What do you mean that’s now how she sounds in the episode?? Giant White Figure that controls an entire facility and has a slightly condescending sing song tone?? No Mistakes here.
