naamahdarling:citadelspires:zackuro-kou:strongcat:marahoping:y’all heard herthanks noelle but maybe put more canon trans characters in your show next timeJust thought I’d leave this here. Being hyper critical of a show that is doing its best for minority representation does nothing to help that they did try. They are paving the way for the next cartoon / or any media in general. Please pass on the message as you see fit. I’m not even the biggest she ra fan I’m just tired of people clowning on every media that attempts to have lgbtq+ representation, good postIt’s fine to take a moment and celebrate what Noelle did manage to accomplish.You can want more and adcocate for more, that’s fine, but wanting a better future for LGBTQ+ media doesn’t mean that you have to attack what we have right now. In fact, it actually helps if you engage with and support media that genuinely tries.Noelle was fought the whole time on the show’s content. She still managed to get the ending where two women saved the day with the power of their explicitly romantic love. In a kids’ show. How is that not amazing?I’m over 40. I am TELLING you. This would have been literally unthinkable when I was a kid. Even just 10 years ago it wasn’t a thing that was going to happen. Even FIVE.Rep for trans folks in media isn’t going to happen all at once. It’s a long and horrible slog. It’s step by step. I, too, want more canon trans characters in shows. Noelle tried. Tested the waters with Perfuma and was strongly denied. You CAN’T BLAME HER. You blame the network. We didn’t get the rep we all want this time. But we got two women in love. Saving the world. With that love. No tragedy, no dead lesbians, but an actual victory. That’s worth celebrating. And it shows the studio execs that you can have this content and not have the show rejected by the public.God, I feel old and this is irritating. I come from an era when even the tragic gays and camp comic relief didn’t really exist onscreeen, CERTAINLY not in kids’ shows. A lot of y'all teens and twentysomethings don’t know how good you have it. I hate saying that, it makes me sound like a crotchety old coot, but it’s true. She-Ra was an incredible experience and I cried because this was the cartoon I needed as a kid, and someone like me finally got to be the hero. -- source link
