I don\\\'t remember them outright lying about Allura or Shiro aside from the \\\"we promise not to do a repeat of Korra\\\'s forced romance\\\" comments. They admitted that the scene with Curtis was an ill-advised AuthorsSavingThrow and obviously not part of their original intentions, so I wouldn\\\'t count that as a case of LyingCreator, just out of touch. Although their dramatic embellishment of the relationship between Shiro and Adam knowing his only other scene was a cheap death and that there was no way their relationship was originally written to be as profound as they tried to pass it off as being is definitely some kind of faux pas.

I admit the last scene is pretty terrible rep as well as inappropriate in general, and they were guilty of trying to have your cake and eat it too when it came to Adam, but the creators themselves didn\'t really market it towards LGBTQ+ audiences nor did they claim it was aimed at them other than that they may be able to get some representation in there somewhere. That\'s largely on fans pestering them about it, somehow convincing themselves that Voltron was a show for the LGBTQ+ community as opposed to a show that just happened to acquire a large LGBTFanbase, and thus setting themselves up for unrealistic expectations. As well as Netflix engaging in some legitimate queerbaiting and exaggeration of Adam\'s importance (they\'ve been known to racebait as well, by deliberately creating misleading posters to pass whites-dominated shows as focused on black characters), not the staff.
