Long post about she ra criticism.
People criticizing she-ra donât have very strong arguments. I just watched a nine minute video of a grown man making no new points. Heâs upset about the reboot ruining his favorite character, which I can understand. But I would just ignore the reboot instead of whining about it multiple times.
This videos only other points were âshe-ra looks like a boyish lesbianâ and âSpinnerella is fat and farts a lotâ (I wish I was joking but thatâs his main argument.)
The show is here to remind people that itâs okay to not be considered ânormal.â He even says in his video that itâs okay not to be normal. He claims that he thinks itâs okay to be âgay, or trans, or a tree(? He canât even say âim not homophobicâ without saying something belittling other peopleâs identities?) as long as you arenât infringing on anyone elses rights.â
He seems to miss his hypocrisy. Women can be muscular and masculine. They can be feminine. They can be thin. They can be heavier. They can be tall. Or Short. They can be blonde, brunettes, have dyed hair, short hair, long hair. There are women of every race and ethnicity.
Women are allowed to be different. Theyâre allowed to be gay, straight, bi, pan, ace, or any other sexuality. They can be trans, or gender fluid. They can have any body type. They can have any hair style. They can be any ethnicity.
Thatâs what this show is about. Women are beautiful. Women who have been told they canât be strong, smart, funny or pretty? She-ra tells them they can be whatever they want. And that they deserve respect no matter who they are.
As a pan girl in highschool, this show helped me learn that itâs okay that Iâm not super thin. Itâs okay that Iâm queer. Itâs okay that I donât look like the girls in magazines. Itâs okay because Iâm me, and Iâm happy being me. Without messages like this, I would have never bothered helping myself when I needed it the most. I would have never worked to get myself to a healthier weight. I wouldnât have went to therapy and helped myself with my anxiety and depression. I would have never thought I was worth love and respect.
She ra says gay rights, but more importantly, She ra says you deserve respect no matter what. She ra says itâs okay to be whoever you are, and that you are beautiful for being true to yourself. Thatâs the message we need the youth to get. Thatâs itâs okay to be you, and that you should love yourself.
But what do I know? Iâm just a fat boyish lesbian who farts a lot apparently.
