Netflxi’s She-Ra is an excellent example of how you do a show without heteronormativity or cisnormativity.

It’s just… not there. No one assumes that since Glimmer is jealous of Bo and Perfuma when they got to the ball together, it must be because she has a crush on Bo. It goes without question that Glimmer is legitimately jealous just because Bo’s been her only friend for years. No one bats an eyelash at two girls simmering with tension cutting up a dance floor. During the prom episode there was zero drama over ‘finding dates’, and the ‘make-over’ sequence was played for fun dress-ups and laughs, with no protests over Catra just opting to wear a suit, or ‘jokes’ about a muscular woman like Scorpia wearing a gown (which she looked amazing in). No one has said a SINGLE WORD about girls trying to get boyfriends, or vice versa. Characters get starry-eyed (for a variety of reasons, and often just ambiguously) over other characters regardless of gender, and no one finds it the least bit inappropriate or even noteworthy.

There is zero reference to anyone needing to uphold some kind of pretense of masculinity or femininity. Zero time is spent exploring anyone’s insecurity over their looks or styling or how ‘attractive’ they are, either. There isn’t even an awkward sideways glance when Sea Hawk announces, via song ‘some say I’m a man, what I know for certain is that I’m Sea Hawk’, when most shows would take the opening to offer up some sort of dig on assumption that he was ‘accidentally’ discrediting his masculinity. The awkwardness in the sequence is reserved for the fact that he keeps trying to sing his self-styled ‘shanties’ in the first place.

I mean just look at some of this stuff:

(Sea Hawk flirting with Mermista)

(Adora and Glimmer, chilling in a hot tub, no feet apart because no one cares who’s gay)

(Mermista blushing because She-Ra thanked her)

(Catra’s ball outfit)

(Scorpia’s)

(Bo fanboying over Sea Hawk)

And there’s WAY more than just that (but most of it would be too spoiler-y). So yeah it’s wonderfully relaxed and wholesome.

Some of the complaints that I'm seeing about She-ra that are made by anti-sjws are kind of weird. Like, before, I would see them complain a lot about how "this female character is too bad ass and perfect!", but when it comes to the She-ra reboot, they complain about the characters being immature and incompetent, and how the originals were so capable and good in battle and were good role models... I actually watched a few episodes of the original, and while I enjoyed it, the original She-ra (the character) bored me because she seemed to be the "ideal person", who was always wise enough to end people's conflicts and tell the moral of the episode. (of course, I haven't watched the whole OG show, so take what I said with a grain of salt)

Son you’ve just flirted with a lesbian

[stannerella-blog]

I am pleasantly surprised by the amount of tall women who appreciate Scorpia.

[sgdlr]

am I the only one who was super disappointed that our hopeful lesbian rep of spinnerella and netossa ended up being basically background characters?

they had no lines and we barely saw them interact. sure they don’t have “useful” powers but plant growing isnt all that useful either (only in some circumstances) and we literally had am entire episode dedicated to saying anyone can be a hero. and yet here are two princesses they made sure we were aware of this entire time barely did anything.

i haven’t watched the final episode yet but even then, i haven’t heard them all through 12 entire episodes. i hope they have some bigger roles in season 2 and on

[stannerella-blog]

Yeah, I'm over my disappointment, but I definitely not satisfied with the amount of screen time that they got. Hopefully they'll get a proper episode that's dedicated to them in the next season?

[stannerella-blog]

I feel like that moment where Sea Hawk acts flirty and Scorpia fails to pick up on it is an underappreciated gay subtext moment.

[stannerella-blog]

I almost support Entrapta's defection, because it seems like she's understood and appreciated more by Scorpia and Catra than the princesses... Which is pretty sad, considering that Scorpia is the only one who. genuinely likes Entrapta, Catra is just using her.

the only het relationship i will allow
