I hope not. Stereotypes galore.

Hmm...tbh, I'm a little suspicious of people who are against Coran being gay bc of ~stereotypes~ when there are beloved flamboyant gay characters who happen to be young and attractive. Like, Victor from YOI was very campy. I feel like people would rather have the young, attractive characters like Keith or Shiro (or hell, /just/ young in the case of Matt) be gay. It seems like there's some ageism at play.

Is this person an elf?

Space elf.

what's this guys name

(Anonymous) 2017-09-09 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Gorkman. Or maybe it's Cleomaster, not 100% sure.

(Anonymous) 2017-09-09 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
His name's Coran! Though if you insist on his full name, his name is Coran Hieronymus Wimbleton Smythe.

I have the feeling that Blaytz is pretty much it for the lgbt rep.

Lance's voice actor claimed people would be "happy with the LGBT rep" in the show, so I feel like there's more to come, possibly.

(Anonymous) 2017-09-10 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Jeremy Shada gets a lot of questions about Lance specifically being mlm so I'm wondering if that was in reference to the representation being a blue paladin.

The one old guy among the main cast, who is guaranteed not to have a love interest, and acts quirky and kinda flamboyant? No, thanks.

(Anonymous) 2017-09-09 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
What if he was given a love interest though?

(Anonymous) 2017-09-10 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
NAYRT but I would be so down for that.

I mean, look, I want multiple queer characters in all things, but like... I REALLY want older gay characters.

Teens and young adults, when written by straight people for straight audiences, fall into a LOT of 'being gay is all about sex' stereotypes, or are eagerly misinterpreted that way by both fans and detractors.

(ideally, we could see both. Ideally, we could have a teen/young adult gay hero pining after their crush, and have an older character say 'ah yes, I remember what it was like being your age, have some reassurance'. I want more older gay mentor characters, though! Even if they're a little on the silly side.)

Have you seen London Spy? It's about a young gay hero and his old gay best friend/mentor in life.

I mean, I guess that's one way to describe London Spy, sure...

(Anonymous) 2017-09-10 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
What, you think Dumbledore's the only man for that post? ;)

Seriously, though, to echo the anon below, I'd love to see more older LGBT characters. I know some real life gay people who live the stereotype, so that doesn't bother me. Stereotypes exist for a reason, imo (Speaking as a bisexual woman).

(Anonymous) 2017-09-10 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
"Old", lol? I know the other characters call him an old man but they're teenagers and physically he looks no older than thirty-five.

(Anonymous) 2017-09-10 10:59 am (UTC)(link)
As someone who is gay and over 35, I think you're seriously underestimating how many queer characters over 25 there are in popular media. Because, you know. We all die by 30 right? >.>

I kinda hope not, because I feel like it would be played for a joke. So much about Coran is played for a joke. It would be some kind of one note toss away and "there ya go, kids, there's your diversity, hyuck hyuck," and no more mention of it ever again, or positive representation of a healthy relationship for him.

(Anonymous) 2017-09-10 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
I wish Shiro was gay. Not that I ship him with anyone, I just want him to be gay. Shiro is yummy.

(Anonymous) 2017-09-13 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
