uhhh CATRA ADORA HAHA LESBIAN WHITEWASHING MARA OMG CATRA DOUBLE TROUBLE WHITEWASHING WHITE SAVIOR TROPE CATRA. haha hi while i have your attention ❤️ please follow bee’s main blog @dykeplants

AKHSKSJDKWKS yall are following an inactive blog and I'd much prefer u to follow me @dykeplants bc like..that's my main..and that's where I am..active

[adoraas]

Hiatus!

Anyways I'm going on hiatus for pretty much forever probably wont ever be back!

so follow my main @dykeplants

but continuing on I've been uninterested in shera for a while now like me and my friends dont even talk about it anymore lmao and at like this point this show is ridiculous with the whitewashing its like... why would I want to watch that in the first place?

I just refuse to be put through the ringer again especially when this show is clearly white savior trope and like lightening darkskinned mara into a light woman when she becomes shera is never okay,,, and the bad guy being a brown girl thats animalistic compared to the white hero miss me with that shit

anyways I know how to step out when I see mess so like oop! I guess I'm just finishing what I was too afraid to start I mean I've been getting less and less active on this blog as it inched further away from the beginning of shera. like I had fun I really did but white gays continue to disappoint so 😪

bye!!!

(if u still want more of mee just follow my main)

are we gonna talk about the she-ra crew making mara’s brown hair blonde when she turns into she-ra? no? ok

[xcxglosss]

not just that, they made her skin lighter and gave her blue eyes instead of brown. they literally whitewashed her

[rosyr]

asdkfasjdflk they made her eyes bright blue im hollering the racism really jumped

[mcatra]

MARA….she’s BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!

[mlepnosstan]

Mara usually: skin is brown, dark hair

Mara in She Ra: has bright blue eye, skin that’s more gold than brown, blonde hair

i’m so tired of the “colonizer/someone who commits literal genocide is actually not a bad person and has feelings and is actually being manipulated by this higher up” trope. it’s overused, not gritty, and genuinely not cute to see put in any type of media and all it does is distort the way we see real-life instances of these events in the past, present, and future. 

[hyrulesmilf]

people who are literally the masterminds of these things know what they are doing. they aren’t ignorant. they know they are exploiting people to their own gain. stop making propaganda that states otherwise. 

[hyrulesmilf]

this includes she-ra because we all know that they’re going to try to redeem hordak in some type of way and I just don’t care! and don’t want them to do it! there’s no gritty backstory to him other than: oh i was the second-in-command clone bitch but then i had some type of defect and was thrown out and now i want to prove himself. the people who perpetrate these crimes in real life don’t change their minds. they are the ones who make the propaganda. they are the evil. never forget that. 

[hyrulesmilf]

and i don’t want to be hit with the “this is a kids show” bullshit, because I remember as a kid trying to sympathize with these people like: oh they had a family, too; or they were real human beings with feelings, or some fucking bullshit and it’s like, too bad! so many of these people got happy endings that the people they oppressed did not have.

entrapadak shippers are like dont u just love shipping a genocidal colonizer 😍😍😍 and ur like ok.

She-Ra: Racism Problem Pt. 1

Thanks to this post by @dyke-ra​ for inspiring me to write about this topic, I’m going to have to split this up cause there’s so much to talk about…. 

I worked a bit on my thesis today, which is about LGBTQIA+ representation in kid’s/young adult’s cartoons, and as soon as I got home I stumbled upon a post on my dash (reblogged by @highqualititty​ who has Very Good Art so check them out) and I was like!!!!! This is exactly what I was writing about with VLD and Steven Universe!!!! It reminds me a lot of this image by @racistz

So I want to point out some of the problems with She-Ra that I’ve noticed and that other people in the fandom have noticed as well, and talk about them in the context of Hollywood history, tropes/stereotypes, and well… colonialism. 

There will be spoilers for She-Ra Season 3 so be warned. I’m also writing this kinda stream-of-consciousness-esque so apologies if it’s a bit jumbled.
