YOU’RE NOT ENTITLED TO JACK FUCKING SHIT. 

DON’T EXPECT THE SHOW RUNNERS TO GO WITH YOUR NARRATIVE OF THE SERIES BECAUSE YOU DON’T WANT A CERTAIN COUPLE TO BE CANON. 

FANON =/= CANON. GET THAT THROUGH YOUR FUCKING HEAD. HEADCANONS ARE GREAT AND DANDY, BUT NOT WHEN YOU’RE SHOVING THEM DOWN OTHER PEOPLE’S THROATS AS BEING CANON. 

IF YOU GET UPSET WITH THE CHOICES THAT HAPPEN IN SEASON 3, THAT DOESN’T GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO HARASS ANY OF THE VA’S ONLINE OR ANY OF THE STAFF WHO WORK ON THE SHOW. 

YOU DESERVE TO GET KICKED IN THE FUCKIN FACE IF YOU THINK THAT TELLING PEOPLE TO KILL THEMSELVES OVER FICTIONAL FUCKING CHARACTERS IN A CHILDREN’S SHOW IS OK TO DO. 

DON’T BE THAT ASSHOLE. DON’T BE A WASTE OF HUMAN LIFE. THIS IS A FICTIONAL SHOW AIMED AT CHILDREN WE’RE TALKING ABOUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

Neil Kaplan is a gift and we don’t deserve him.

I can’t tell what’s worse about this trainwreck of a post, the fact that so many of you straight fangirls so clearly don’t give a shit about the lgbt community you love to fetishize, or the absolute and ubiquitous lack of critical reading skills demonstrated by over a thousand people

not to mention Kaplan’s engineering of a conflict where none existed. had he stayed in his fucking lane and not told me to find queerness where it doesn’t exist the conversation would have ended with the tweet where I thanked him for his time

not that you included that tweet here, did you @keiths-salt ? I can only imagine what mysterious reason for excluding that you might have

almost like it reveals Kaplan for the bag of hyper-defensive dicks that he is

@salmonbocaj

First off: I don’t know where you got that the 3000 people on this post, including me, are straight females… but ok, self-proclaimed LGBT Advocate #1. A+ activism right there. I just love when people assume my sexuality and gender because they’re mad at me, especially on this blue hellscape.

Secondly: “Had Kaplan stayed in his fucking lane”? Are you serious?
He’s not obligated to interact with fans, and yet he finds the time to talk to us. And some people, in this case - you, exploit this opportunity to ask the cast of Voltron things that should be directed at Dreamworks, because you know VA’s are more likely to respond to your questions than the actual directors of the show.

Not only did he try to explain to you that he’s not in a place to advise the DreamWorks crew on what is good and bad storytelling, he apologised several times for not being able to support you the way you’d like.
By the way, if a character has to explictly state “I am not heterosexual” for you to acknowledge that they’re LGBT+ then, well… you’re assuming that heterosexuality is the default. That’s not my problem.
Oh wait - yes, it is, since I’m a “straight” “girl” that loves to “fetishise the LGBT+ community”. My bad.

And now, use your critical reading skills well, because I’m gonna blow your fucking mind:

A show doesn’t have to be progressive.

Having proper, well-written LGBT+ representation is great. Especially in a kids show. I’m 100% down for it.
But it’s not the only thing an action show should be focusing on, and we’re only 2 of 6 seasons in. There’s plenty of time for development of both characters and relationships.

So if you ask Neil Kaplan “Are you going to talk to the directors about it” and “are there going to be LGBT+ characters” :

He could get sued for telling you “Yes” or “No”.
The voice actors aren’t told anything about the story itself. They go to the studio, record their lines, and wait for the finished product. (x)

Even if Neil Kaplan does know that one or more of the main characters are LGBT+, there’s not much he can tell you before official information is released. (x)

Had you stayed in your lane and not lashed out at him when you didn’t get the reply you wanted, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

And third: My sincerest apologies if I missed something. Please feel free to add a screenshot of said tweet, I did not mean to leave anything out. I really didn’t. It was 11pm for me, I was tired.

That’s all I’m gonna say to you, because frankly, I’m not eager to argue about what is “good” LGBT+ representation. We clearly seem to have different takes on the matter. 👋🏽

This is your spoiler warning for things, as I post stuff that technically is spoilers but /usually/ I end up getting into this stuff, most recently Undertale, way later than most, and for example with undertale the game’s already been out going on 3 months but I still want to be nice and warn people I post/reblog spoilers.

I just want to draw fluff of them… *cries*

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard of a little game called Fire Emblem Fates (or IF in Japan) for the 3DS. It’s the newest game in Nintendo’s long running RPG series. I’m a pretty big fan of the series so I imported it as soon as I could and have been having a blast. But unfortunately it’s stirred up quite a lot of controversy over the last few hours.

The Problem

Now, I don’t want people to be turned away from playing this game because of some misguided viewpoints, so I felt like addressing the issue. Recently, a lot of (poorly researched) articles have been springing up on numerous websites such as the one above, and it’s no doubt a lot more are going to pop up in the near future. 

Why should you care: - It’s wrong. This does not actually happen at all.

The Victim

Meet Soleil, the cheerful and energetic mercenary who shares her name with the sun.

- She isn’t too shy, but she can often get anxious about her surroundings.

- She loves her father Inigo (from FE: Awakening) and has a strong desire to protect him.

- Her cool, brash personality leads her to become very popular with girls and enjoys hitting on them in return. S

he’s also the worst singer in the army (but you didn’t hear it from me).

So why has Soleli caused such a riot? Well, for the sake of the plot her character is bisexual. Yep, you read that right. Bisexual. Interested in both genders a.k.a NOT a lesbian. Or at least that’s what we’re told at the beginning of her story.

As a matter of fact, as we progress further we find out that she was never even a lesbian to begin with.  She just has an infatuation with cute girls. Soleli likes men. She’s 100% straight.

In-game she doesn’t even have a lesbian marriage option either. Without spoiling too much, she pretended this way to get revenge on her father but ended up regretting it when it became a habit

So what’s the issue?

If you’re playing as a male, one of Soleil’s support quests boils down to helping her get over a certain mental obstacle.

As it turn out, Soleil has been getting distracted by all the cute girls in the Fire Emblem universe, so much so that she ends up fainting whenever she sees one.

As you can expect, fainting in the middle of combat isn’t ideal, so she asks the main character to help her. After a short sequence of events, the main character secretly uses magic on Soleil that causes her to perceive all females as males and vice-versa, under the implication that her recovery wouldn’t work if she knew what was happening in advance.

It’s also worth noting that after the support quest, Soleli doesn’t detest the main character from hiding it from her. In fact, she thanks him because it helped her overcome her predicament.

The Confusion

What people are up in arms about is the misinterpretation of the entire ordeal.

People have been spreading that she’s trying to “cure her lesbianism” when this just isn’t the case (keep in mind we still think she’s bi at this point). She’s trying to stop getting distracted by girls because it’s literally preventing her from performing on the battlefield.

At the end of the questline the magic’s effects essentially become nil; she’s still very flirtatious with cute girls, but she’s come to treat men with the same attitude.

To conclude, Soleli can now face cute girls in combat without passing out from their adorableness. MISSION COMPLETE

How did this all come about?

This scene’s dialogue, along with a bunch of others, was translated late last week and posted on 4chan by a person who was accepted by the board as being correct. Over the next couple of days, the translations were shared across social media landing in the hands of Reddit and Tumblr.

Which leads me to…

…how this fiasco started.

Almost every article I’ve seen has referenced this random Tumblr post   one way or another, which honestly really confuses me since after I did a little researching, I discovered that she doesn’t even own the game, nor has translated any of the in-game dialogue herself. It seems that the author intentionally misinterpreted their dialogue to create some negative premonitions against the game, rustling a few jimmies in the process. 

After being spread around a lot, I imagine a lot of journalism sites picked up on the story without doing any fact-checking themselves and decided to run with it.

I admit, her role in this whole affair has been pretty small. But at the end of the day, I think it’s worth discussing what should be considered a “reputable source” in today’s media. It’s quite silly how one girl’s ramblings added more controversy to the future of this game’s English localisation.

The Tumblr post in question: https://archive.is/YHkSM

What’s going to happen next?

Realistically, with all the backlash we’re seeing I wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo decided to censor this game in response to the complaints they’re receiving.

It’s unfortunate, not because the game or subject matter was “bad”, but because the bad writing/translations made the game seem like it was.

Regardless, is the game any good?

Yes. This game is amazing.

If you’re a fan of epic fantasy tales or role-playing in expansive worlds you’ll find a lot to love in this title. It’s very much like other games in the series, but it also addresses a lot of complaints people had with the previous game “Awakening” such as the smaller scale of the story and the lighter difficulty, which rest assured is now as challenging as it should be.

There’s even an optional new “Phoenix Mode” which allows you to revive fallen units in their next turn, making it more accessible for newcomers to the series.

It’s all very fun, I definitely recommend it.

Thanks for reading everyone! I hope I made this easy to understand.                                

And continuing to circulate this, because all the misinformation needs to stop and people DEFINITELY need to stop injecting their personal feelings and projecting them onto a fictional video game character, like she’s some sort of holy symbol for the LGBTQ community. Her characterization is not meant to be a judgement from Nintendo passed on you or anyone you know.

Fire Emblem Homophobia? Fates is Hit With Gay Controversy

The newest entry in the Fire Emblemseries has already been making headlines with the announcement that the game will feature homosexual characters to be romanced within the game. Now it seems the once praised Nintendo (and by once praised I mean like four days ago) is getting some heat and being accused of some horrible next level homophobia. Unfortunately for Nintendo, the internet is not a…
