Transformers: War for Cybertron: Kingdom's Beautiful LGBT Romance (archive.is)

After so many years of bigotry, misogyny and transphobia in the Transformers IP, we finally have LBGT+ representation in our beloved cartoon! No longer will Autobots and Decepticons have to transform to hide their sexual preference and live in shame of who their spark shines for.

The first homosexual relationship in a cartoon about giant motherfucking robots is here!!

Finally. I wonder who will be the first TRANSformer.

Robots reproduce sexually?

 

[B D Joe]

And of course it's Netflix...

 

[QuantumZebra]

The same reason I get annoyed with people gendering "God" is the same reason as this.

An eternal, omniscient being made of pure energy has no need nor want for reproduction or genitalia.

Nor does a giant sentient fucking battle robot.

Being a robot, surely theyre non binary

 

[OmegaSupreme]

CBR lmao. Yep that follows. I hadn't got to that part of the third series but I'm not surprised. There are all kinds of that messaging throughout the show "You can be your own bot" "It doesn't have to be a binary choice" Not direct quotes but something like that. The show is pretty lackluster regardless of all that anyway.

What do you prefer, "It" or saying "God" every time?

Haven't the idw comics been full of this crap for years?

That’s the name of a trans con in the Bay Area.

 

[GamingKaiju]

tsk tsk I would have hoped for more LGBT characters where is the trans Decepticon? mmmm Transformers?

The actual article makes it seem more like it's a bunch of subtext that doesn't actually mean anything unless you want it to.
Plus Bumblebee was gay way before these new gaybots.

Stroke my chrome stick baby.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Happened in the comics a while ago didn't it?

 

[GeekyDad]

Yeah, this thread is already deep, deep in the hole...

EDIT: And it has to be Unicron, right?

When Megatron has a gun that size it's inevitable.

 

[AJUMP23]

The burning question we have all wanted answered how do cartoon robots feel about their sexuality.

 

[Cravis]

When you’re watching Transformers and you think about which ones they have sex with…

 

[ManaByte]

 

[BouncyFrag]

Unicron wasn’t actually a planet...

 

[haxan7]

imagine all that hot robot buttfuck action

 

[Arimer]

Since there really isn't anything relationship wise done in transformers cartoons/movies couldn't any of them be LGBT if that's what you wanted to believe? My point being by leaving it unknown couldn't it be anything and isn't that good? Or do people looking for validation or something to own?

 

[SoggyBiscuit]

 

[rkofan87]

this thing is true now and its sad.

 

[Corgi1985]

One is a falcon and one is a spider don't falcons eat spiders?

 

[Rival]

I played with transformers almost every single day from about the age of 5 until I was about 10. You know what I never wondered about once? Why does everything require a sexual preference label? Can’t some things just exist?

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Kotaku headline ten years from now: “I’ve had my sexual awakening thanks to Transformers”.

It's been damn near 50 years since the selective service draft was last used in the US. And here we are, living in a world where someone believes its important to make gay cartoon robots.

The internet was a mistake.

The internet is fine. It was Social Media the point we done fucked it up.

Yeah, you're correct. After reading the thread premise, my brain was temporarily fried like the eggs in the brain on drug commercials from the late 80s or early 90s.

 

[TheMan]

I haven't really watched any transformers series for a couple of decades. Is this the first romantic relationship in the series?

 

[NickFire]

But since we're already in the WTF did I just read territory, I need to know something. When robots climax, is there just oil spraying everywhere, or does something else happen?

 

[Tams]

This is what decline looks like. All empires fall and this is part of what will make the 'Western' 'one' fall. Hopefully it doesn't spread too much. At least climate change will probably do us in first.

I to wish we could go back to the days when we had wars so big and with such heavy casualties that we had to force people to fight them against their will. Better that than people have the freedom to publish some stupid opinion piece that reads way too much into a kids cartoon.

 

[GeorgPrime]

I really stopped caring for this franchise long time ago. It will just go down from her on out.

If you need it, watch it. If you dont need it, skip it.

Easy there sparky. My point was that we are screwing up the really good times with nonsense. Thought it was kinda obvious.
