i never understand how stans will humanize Catra in every non-villain scene she's in ( even when she's acting like a bitch ), but infantilize // demonize Adora for every non-hero scene she's in.
like, Catra not knowing what a party is is seen as sad and adorable, but Adora not knowing what it is is considered her being stupid.
Catra having a rough day, low on sleep, and treating others like shit because of it is seen as accurate mental health rep, but Adora having a rough day, low on sleep, and not treating others like shit because of it is seen as her being goofy.
Catra being victimized by literally anyone is seen as an angsty moment that shows how vulnerable she is, but Adora being victimized by literally anyone ( including Catra ) is seen as her "just being xyz" or "homoerotic tension".
Catra being awful to everyone is seen as an accurate victim, but Adora being awful to herself is seen as a "pretty" victim.
Catra physically abusing Adora at every turn is seen as a hot villain moment, but Adora giving her a taste of her own medicine is seen as abusive.
what sense does this even make?
