Revisiting Voltron and hot take: Allura isn't actually that bad?

Like I remember very vividly when Voltron was airing, and people *hated* her. Like, you know the scapegoat in fanfics, the one that has to be mean? That was Allura. And you know, it's mean.

Yes, Allura was fantasy racist. Which is bad. But were we all too caught up in our little Keith angst to notice Alluras story? She had her family killed by Galrans, and then a half-galran pilots the lion her own father piloted. And she never got the chance to grieve because of the cryostatus. It basically just happened for her. It's a good plot point, but because everyone needed a character to hate, Alluras story got lost.

Allura also got in the way of Klance. I remember how adamant people were about shipping, so if one character got in the way they were dead. People liked Keith better, and with Allura as the competition there was no way for her to win. Which is stupid. Because Allura is a great character.

Also Hunk x Keith is better/hj
