Tiny bitter rant incoming, but why does this fandom want Lance to be their m|m rep when he’s the usual character made gay in every piece of media ever (flirtatious, loud, hilarious) when there’s a character who would break so many stereotypes if he was gay since he’s the “hero,” a ptsd ridden soldier, the golden boy, the one who has a huge heart and is willing to always take people in but for some reason never talks about his own family ever (which hits straight home for lots of lgbt) (cont)

cherryandsisters:

(Cont) especially when the sad reality is that lots of lgbt escape to the military to escape bigoted home situations (and of course lots of little boys are gonna be watching this and I’d rather have lance be the gender role breaking stereotype saying you can like shopping, face masks, and other traditionally femme things and still be likable and get the girl, while shiro can show that you can be the hero and being gay doesn’t change that at all, especially with how lgbt are always side props)

anon I 100% agree, you made SO MANY good points, I really don’t have to add anything else to this just…thank you 

🙏
