Fans of Voltron: Legendary Defender were thrilled when it was revealed that Shiro, a main character, was not only gay, but in a committed relationship back on Earth .

The inclusion of the relationship was cheered by the LGBTQ community, until the episodes that contained the relationship were actually revealed.

Shiro's promised love interest, Adam, had two scenes in the series— one where the couple broke up, and another where Adam was killed in an alien attack.

The fanbase was not amused, to say the least.
Showrunner Joaquim Dos Santos took a lot of heat over the issue, which many saw as a needless continuation of the "bury your gays" trope.
