Some Valid Reasons Why One May Not Support CatraDora

Based on various posts I’ve personally seen.

1) They feel like the ship is abusive, unhealthy, etc. (even after Catra’s redemption). 2) They feel the ship was rushed and/or out of place, and/or had no real positive developments prior to season 5. 3) They feel it may not have been the best form of LGBT representation, since Catra was a “villain” (and downright evil in multiple scenes), and tried to hurt the person she was supposedly in love with for most of the series. 4) They feel the fandom is too forgiving of Catra since CatraDora is an LGBT couple. They feel if Catra was a male character, the fandom wouldn’t be as accepting of his (her) actions - and disgusted that the “abused/misunderstood” dude gets the girl in the end for becoming good. They don’t like seeing people more forgiving of bad actions when it’s an LGBT couple, as opposed to a straight couple. 5) They feel there were other ships that had healthier dynamics and were developed better (GlimmaDora). 6) They don’t feel comfortable with the fact that Adora and Catra grew up together in the same “home” with the same “parental figure” (even though that said parental figure was abusive). They saw Adora and Catra more as “sisters” rather than a romantic couple - and feel disturbed now that they’re romantically with each other. (Plus, there was a official book that stated they saw each other as sisters - and apparently there were interviews with some crew members pre-season 5 that said they saw each other as sisters too. Correct me if I’m wrong.)

Please be respectful of people’s dislike towards CatraDora.

I’m Abandoning This Blog

Well, after running this blog for about a year now - I decided it’s finally time for me to move on from discussing this ship (and being part of this fandom overall).

I would like to thank all of you so, so much for your support and contribution!

It really means a lot to me that I was able to find so many other people who felt the same way I did after watching the finale. I’m also happy I was able to help some of you too!

I honestly would like to move on from this fandom/ship for good though, and I really don’t want anything to do with it anymore…

I still feel irritated when I see C//A being praised (for all the reasons I’ve mentioned multiple times throughout this blog), and I’m probably still going to for a while. Unfortunately, I can’t really avoid it though, because I still manage to see it in other fandoms that have nothing to do with She-Ra.

I also still can’t stand seeing it be compared to other WLW ships, like B//umbleby and L//umity; but hopefully through time, they’ll be so many more new LGBT+ characters and (healthier!!) couples in the future, that C//A will be nothing more than a faded memory that no one ever talks about anymore.

I just hope I never see another highly unhealthy LGBT+ (or honestly, even a cishet) ship become canon (especially in a kid’s show) ever again.

Anyway…

I’m going to keep this blog up for 1 week, if any of you would like to scroll through this blog to like/reblog posts - then I’m deactivating this account.

Best of luck in your lives! ~

Hey everyone!

I saw this on Twitter and thought some of you might be interested in this!

It’s hard knowing a show you followed excitedly from the beginning turned out to pair the main character with her life-long abuser in the end. It’s very triggering, especially since so many thousands (maybe even millions?) of people actively paint these two as “relationship goals”.

#anti C//A

I love Lu//mity, but Will//uz is such a cute ship too!

I know Lu//mity is far more likely to become canon (and I support that!), but I would be ok with either ship becoming canon.

Yay for animated, healthy and wholesome interracial wlw ships!

CW: Suicide baiting

If you hate a ship, keep that hatred aimed at the fictional thing. Don't be like this anti:

I've got good news: the suicide-baiter's account was suspended!

Twitter did something positive for once.

#not anti C//A #good news everyone! 🎉

Ok sorry in advance for my rant, but:

I just went on my TikTok because I'm bored and for some reason the first vid I see is C//A. The girl was going on and on about how it's "soooo homoeroticcccc 🥵🥵🥵💗✨" and all the people were like "omg I know🥵" and "antis are just homophobic 🤡🤡🤡" and I sat there thinking the obvious question, DID WE WATCH THE SAME SHOW??? Ah yes, because her digging her cat claws into her back is "soooo hooottt". End me this ship is so gross.

#anti C//A

@laverreboutique

Agreed!

No//elle decides to make an aggressive, animalistic character, voiced by a white woman, to be a “woman of color” -

but for some reason, everyone in the main She-Ra fandom is ok with this?

Also, I’m willing to bet real money if Catra physically looked liked more Glimmer (a chubby human), and Glimmer physically looked more like Catra (a sexy cat girl) - the fandom would have had VERY different stances on C//A and Glimma//dora.

“Why does Catra, a lesbian woman of color get so much hate??”

I have a better question...

Why do so many Catra Stans hate Glimmer?

You know a fat, bisexual, and ACTUAL woman of color character??

blonde-and-cat-suc

how about because she’s not of color??? she’s a literal animal?? and no one had to say anything about her being of color in the first place??? fight me???

anticatradoraofficial

I 100% agree she’s not a woman of color. I’m just quoting Catra Stans.

They call people racist for hating Catra, but I’ve NEVER ONCE seen any of them call anyone racist for hating Glimmer (or other characters for that matter) - who are actual human people of color characters voiced by actual actors of color.

They just can’t wrap their heads around the fact that people hate her because of what she did to Adora. Not because of her “race”.

#my post #anti C//A

I would love to see an AU of C//A that really emphasizes that Catra is part cat.

Example:

Adora: *about to kiss Catra*

Catra: *hacks* “Sorry! Hairball!”

I obviously still wouldn’t like C//A, but at least I would laugh whenever I think of the ship rather than feeling angry.
