The title of the video about the She-ra shit is: " How She-ra's game-changing ending made cartoon history"... and by that I have to ask, how in the hell is this any "game changing" than the end of Legend of korra? or Steven universe? or Adventure time with Marceline and Princess Bubblegum?

If people wanna celebrate the gay kiss, sure go ahead, knock yourself out, but don't expect people to follow your "game changing" claims when it couldn't be more obvious that She-ra is following a trend, this whole thing about cartoons with gay themes have been a major part of main stream animation topics for the last 6 years or so... same thing with the Harley Quinn cartoon it seams, which I used to watch, it was fun, but lost interest halfway season 1.

And Robert tries to argue that the important thing about She-ra is that she never had to debate her sexual preference, since it was always pretty obvious that everybody is gay in the show, but if she is really in love with her enemy... but again, your are forcing an interprtetation that can be applied to Legend of Korra, Steven universe, etc, there was no "struggle" for being gay on those shows either...

Also, lesbians? this is pussy shit. Wanna show how progressive you are, make a main male character gay... not just any character, get a legacy one, make Spider-man gay, not just a kiss, or holding hands, have pillow talk scene, and imply that Spider-man plays the catcher, fucking do it assholes, no more this lesbian shit, it's trite by now, show some balls and show some slapping balls!
Or show fisting, sissioring, some S&M or any other hardcore sex acts. Lesbian relationships, no matter how cartoons like SU, She-Ra, and AT would want to ignore, will always be sexual.

If Bob were the equality-minded progressive and deep thinker he wants people to think he is, he’d be decrying the lack of bull dykes in this show. Lipstick lezzies are the kind of sanitized, idealized approach Bob usually pretends he’s too intellectual to tolerate. Why isn’t he advocating for ugly, butch, bearded bulls? Philistine.

Bingo. Nobody gives a shit if some side character is gay. Even if the main character is gay, if she's a woman, then nobody cares because "bro lesbians are hot." If you actually want to "make history" with your work, turn a legacy male character gay and put that shit front and center. Anything less is cowardice, trying to have your gay cake and eat it too. Sure, people will hate it and your work will probably fail, but you want to be on the right side of history, right? You're not playing it safe to ensure you make money, right? Principles before profits, right?

Mr. Plinkett summarized this challenge very nicely just yesterday:

Hold up. The animated 80s lesbos are enemies? And this has Bob sporting a chub?

Is our Robert really just tsundere for trumplings?

Spoiler: She-Ra is full of creepy dykes because it's been stolen from children to appease perverted, sexually lonely weirdos on the internet. Bob approves!
do children even watch the netflix she-ra show? My neighborhood is full of young families with small children and I never see anything related to she-ra. I know between this and steven universe the youtube personailities like to talk about their exposing kids to bold new ideas but I've never actually met a kid who watches these shows.

With streaming, hard to say if it is a viewing hit or not, it's seldom when we get numbers, and internet buzz is deceiving. Of course the producers and media in general would never talk down if a "progressive" show is doing bad, fuck, in cases like Star trek discovery, even if the show is a dud, they will double down on a new season just to not lose face over the decisions they've made, even if that means losing a ton of money.

I have my doubts She-ra is a hit with kids... for each generation of kids they already have their own shows they like, and see a lot of that Ladybug girl backpacks, but none of She-ra's.

And if they put such emphasis on how turbulent and complicated this love affair between She-ra and Katra is... well, little girls like romance alright, but very basic stuff, as in, puppy love... stuff you see in shoujo mangas, a nice girl pinning over a good looking boy... like that Ladybug girl cartoon.

Also, and truth hurts, little girls like Girl-boy relationships, again, like the Ladybug cartoon. The internet lesbos cry over not having "representation" when growing up, but I bet my left nut they all adored whenever Sailor Moon and Tuxedo mask were together.

To be fair, She-Ra was never popular, when the character was made, He-man was fizzling out, and for a good reason, even for the low standarts of of 80's cartoon, he-man was quite shit, and so was She-ra.

So, if I was placed a the show-runner and given the task to get the show out in the talking topics... I would probably gay it up, it's a easy way to get free press and score a few more seasons out of social pressure.

Bob, on the other hand, is so addicted to attention that when his precious hundreds of empty beer cans fell off his window sill, he thought “Shit, I need to document this for the internet!” The mental image of him trying to get some good pictures of the literal garbage strewn across his home, then going through them to find the “best” images, then excitedly uploading them to Twitter is lulzy af. But Bob takes his lard ass way too seriously to see that.
It reminds me of late 2000s internet, back when people were still figuring out this live journal and twitter thing and people would post about what they had for breakfast. I realized as I was typing that that I've just described thots. The point I was trying to make was Bob's approach to social media is still 10-15 years in the past, and it'd be quaint if he wasn't so unpleasant.

As @Mola Ram said, this is a show written by Tumblr shippers for Tumblr shippers.

MLP was a kids show that happened to have a large adult following. She-Ra was a show for 40 year old Tumblr cat ladies from it's announcement. Having the show end with a gay kiss was a given. Saying "it's for kids" seems more like an excuse to deflect any criticism.

Though I do kind of wonder why they don't just drop the pretense and have shows that are explicitly designed for and advertised as Tumblr shipping shows. Then they can have as many gay kisses and love triangles as they want, and leave unresolved plot hooks for shippers to plug in their fanfiction. Maybe it's a trick that doesn't work when you know it's a trick, but it's basically it's own genre at this point, I don't see why companies keep pretending these are kids shows.

You guy joke about pushing the envelope beyond lipstick lesbians, but I want less The Last of Us 2, not more.
 
Bob not only struggles with your/you’re, but also with their/there/they’re. Bob, never go on “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?”

He’s still completely incapable of being funny.

He is embarrassingly proud of making his fellow manchildren cry:

Bob Chipman, not fit to wipe Ed Snowden’s ass, is calling Snowden a “dork.” Yes, the Bob Chipman who got “choked up” by James Gunn tweeting a selfie and who inserts his boner for Mario into every event in his small-pond life.

As predicted, Bob’s real mad about Joe Rogan’s $200 million deal with Spotify. LOL suck it, loser.

I have a couple of theories. One is pretty paranoid, although the longer the Crugaydes go on the more I start to believe it. There seems to be a concerted effort -- it's huge in Young Adult fiction -- to normalize oddball sexualities to young people. This is done under the guise of "see, it's inclusive, and we're telling kids who are starting to realize they're different that they're Good and Accepted and Loved!" but more and more it feels like predatory grooming on a mass scale. She-Ra, with its childish character designs and pretty colors, seems to fall squarely into that effort.

Less sinisterly, the people who cleave to this shit are emotionally incontinent arrested development weirdos. There's this lady on my Twitter feed, I think mid-late 20s, trying to make it as a writer, who has been going on and on for months about how amazing She-Ra is, posting "Catradora" fan art, gushing about the wonderfulness of this relationship. When the finale aired, she went absolutely nuts. As of yesterday, she was still going on about how validating and emotionally shattering the whole stupid thing was. This is our future, lads and lasses. Better get used to it, or at least keep your powder dry.

Bob not only struggles with your/you’re, but also with their/there/they’re. Bob, never go on “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?”

As a New Yorker (mild powerlevel, but I never really try to hide it), Bob's complete inability to perceive how utterly shit the city is becoming is hilarious. Our mayor is a corrupt, moronic, seemingly antisemitic goofball who has zero respect from any quarter that's not part of his grift; his gorilla wife has stolen something like $750 million from a putative mental health program, shootings are increasing every day at an alarming rate; the governor just sent 5000 grammas and grampas to the Wu Flu slaughterhouse; and best of all, you can thank our glorious but filthy, homeless infested subway system for pretty much the entire outbreak nationwide. New York is on the verge of a precipitous downslide and everyone knows it. Go on, move here, Bob. Even you could afford a place in the South Bronx if you really wanted to. Your first mugging while walking around in that hideous Mario blazer is gonna be lit.
