another voltron meme for you. i love allura, she deserved so much better than the ending she got
#HI i hope you don't mind me sharing these#but this is exactly how i've felt during my vld rewatch and i had no idea how to articulate it#so i thought i should share#i first watched voltron when i was like?? 13 or 14ish?#but even back then i remember thinking allura always got the short end of the stick#ESPECIALLY when it came to the fanbase#i watched this video recently that was like “how voltron and allura ruined lance's character”#and it made some good points and i didnt necessarily disagree with what it said#but the whole i was like “okay. uh huh. but what about ALLURA'S character?”#i just find it very frustrating how she's constantly undermined by both the show and audience#in favor of the male and/or lighter skinned characters#(except for hunk who never gets to do anything ever. god i could go on about the fatphobia in voltron but thats not what this is about)#i don't like how so many of allura's “”strongest“” moments are the ones where she sacrifices her wellbeing#the other characters do that too but its not NEARLY as frequent or punishing as it is for her#it just feels upsetting in a way i dont think the writers intended or were aware of#i love allura. she deserved so much better than what she was given. she always has and always will.#also i couldnt find a way to transition into it before so im doing here--#and wow!!! WOW!!! fandom for male-targeted media sure does love to ONLY attach value to women if there's potential for shipping!!#isnt that crazy!!! i wonder if this is a pattern that should be discussed or something!!!!!!!#/sarcasm#tara says stuff
