The Mattel money isn’t the reason She-Ra got to the end. It’s because they kept the gay stuff subtle enough to overlook until the last season. It was all subtext and background characters, none of it was canon enough for the executives to notice. If you’re going to hold up She-Ra as a great example of gay television, you might as well include the Legend of Korra, because it did the same thing.
Now we’ve danced this dance before, and you’ve suggested I block your community. I’ve done that, which is why we haven’t argued about this in a while. But if we’re gonna be having this argument again, you can read My story with She-Ra. Content warning: abuse, rape, indoctrination. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D6EY6P1cPL7Q-sNtqohIbzjcRIKozEwtJ1UA2t9bmHM/edit?usp=drivesdk
Also, Owl House managed to get an ending, and it was awesome!
And blocking the community doesn’t mean you should get all up in arms over a crosspost that doesn’t feature a single She-Ra character. The meme can easily be taken on its own; you could’ve even tied it into the shows you mentioned. Now we’re dancing this dance when we should be celebrating yuri, and no one is any better off for it.
When My PTSD gets triggered, I find it easier to put My feelings into words and put the words out into the world, than to lock them up inside and find Myself still obsessing over them hours later. I’m not gonna bottle up My trauma for the comfort of She-Ra fans. Pressing the submit button on a comment feels like letting go of that hurt and rage, it helps Me move on.
And there is no way to say this without it coming across as a barb, but please use My preferred pronouns when referring to Me.
