It is an example of the very thing Noelle Stevenson would later fight against in She-Ra: the killing of queer characters for the sake of shock value. Many fans felt the way Shiro's love life was brought up - his boyfriend is killed off shortly after being introduced - felt cheap and exploitative. However, inevitably, it's impossible to discuss gay characters represented in mainstream animation without bringing up the debacle surrounding Shiro, the sometimes-leader of the Voltron crew who was revealed as gay towards the end of the series. Interestingly, Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts is produced by Dreamworks Animation, the same group that produced both She-Ra and the Princesses of Power and Voltron: Legendary Defender. Benson later finds a boy he's attracted to, which should play a larger role in the upcoming second season. Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts features Benson, a boy who at first appears to be set-up as a love interest for Kipo before coming out as gay. Ratburn's "gay rat wedding" in Arthur certainly made headlines. OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes! (created by Steven Universe creator Rebecca Sugar's husband Ian Jones-Quartey) featured two gay married couples: the heroes Joff and Nick Army and the villains Lord Boxman and Professor Venomous. Some shows have made queer men more prominent.
