What's the reverse of gay blinders where you see a hetero couple and assume they're just good friends?

Pththya-lyi posted:I absolutely had straight blinders for Bow and Glimmer until I saw the dream sequence where they were arm-in-arm As it was written is seemed much less like a hetero pairing and more like 2 ace/demi/sapio people who've never been concerned with love or romance and just found the perfect person to fit into their life. Hordak maybe a little more extreme since emotions to him are such new thing but he was definitely feeling intense things when it came to Entrapta. Wittgen posted:That was the one couple that didn't feel legit to me. It was kind of sudden but there was literally no indication they were queer. The rift between them after Glimmer went power-crazy definitely seemed quite a bit more intense then just "you were my friend" pentyne fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Jul 29, 2020 |

Sio posted:https://twitter.com/gingerhazing/status/1298809959149211652?s=21 Is there an explanation or something? The comments seem to blame her for not hiring any black team members.

Yeah, clicking around the twitter people screaming cancellation at the top of their lungs its a little over the top including the main one tweeting they broke down sobbing when they saw a clip of She-Ra.

lol this is dumb as poo poo. The guy using a "slur" was reading off the name of a podcast crew who were in the chat, some of the other stuff was read off fan letters, and the whole "slavery" thing is all of Bow's brothers who have jobs that rhyme with Bow but are linked to their jobs, so the farmer is named Sow. Awful lot of anime and furry avs on twitter quick to declare she-ra is dead forever and Noelle and her crew need to be driven into the sea.

thankfully this resolves itself almost immediately because the stream is being reposted endlessly on twitter and anyone can take 5 secs to find out the details. It's not even cancel culture is just a healthy mix of terminally online people looking for their next flame war. Same poo poo probably happens in Hamilton fandom every couple of weeks.

Thats a lot of words for "some queer teens flipped the gently caress out and grossly mischaracterized a 30 min live stream"

Carpator Diei posted:Uhm, that's a pretty lovely thing to say, to be quite honest; I mean, I even agree that things are getting overinterpreted and that all of this is a horrible situation, but it just can't be reduced to queer people "flipping out" (you probably didn't intend that, but it sounds a lot like the old trope of accusing marginalized people of being overly emotional when they're speaking out). That's why i said "some" not all. Of the major 5 points they claimed as TW only 1 of them is even remotely accurate and then is a farming reference to a homophone name of a black main characters sibling which is being described as show cancelling racism and an assault against black animators. A ton of people expressing opinions like only bipoc are allowed to talk and anyone else (I'm assuming also straight black people) arent allowed to have an opinion about it, lots of "I always knew they were racist" and a lot of "I speak for all X" in the tone of the discourse.

Pththya-lyi posted:It doesn't hurt that a lot of fanworks about stormtroopers are less Starship Troopers and more The Office, But Sci-fi. This is almost the default canon now. Jedi Fallen Order has a ton of scripted conversations between the stormtrooper enemies that have them acting like that. There's one with one stormtrooper poo poo talking another for shooting a rocket too close and blowing out his eardrums and a lot of casual banter about not being able to aim properly.

CuwiKhons posted:LoK would have probably been better in general if the writers hadn't gotten jerked around by Nickelodeon for four years straight. Was it season 2 where they just dumped like 8 at once to get through the season faster? The Nickelodeon execs seemed to have little to no care about trying to make the show succeed and its almost a miracle it actually managed to become such a big hit.

Old Kentucky Shark posted:It was Season 3. The first half of season 3 was dumped in multi-episode chunks over a period of three days, then the last half of season 3 and all of season 4 was online-only. My understanding is that season 4 only exists at all because 3 and 4 were part of a single animation order and it would have cost Nick more to renege on the contract than to make and dump the show. And yet despite trying to kill it they still lost their poo poo over the last episode of lesbian hand holding. Did someone at Nick just loving hate DiMartino&Konietzko or something? Did Korra completely crash in the ratings/merch sales? Is the Avatar franchise cursed in some way? Those guys did some pretty amazing work for Nickelodeon working within what were some extreme limitations for creativity, and now 15 years later everything they try to do with Avatar gets hosed by a studio exec somehow.

Pththya-lyi posted:Sexism, mostly You can't really understate how a bunch of white male adult nerds lost their loving mind on social media when the first image of She-Ra was released, showing her with actual muscles and wearing shorts under the skirt. It's been a few years but I'm sure I saw some mock-ups of a "correct" She-ra getting passed around that made her look more like a fetish drawing from deviantart a ton of those same men praising as authentic in spirit to the original. The original was a loving toy commerical.

Pararoid posted:The chud hand-wringing that YouTube started recommending to me after watching a few She Ra memes was enough to make me completely uninterested in any other part of the universe. It was more then few women brave enough to step in it and call bullshit, saying that being into She-ra as a kid the 80s would mean all the boys made fun of you for liking a girly show, and decades later those same boys are frothing with rage that a remake doesn't have a sexbomb as the main character.

Hobbes posted:It seemed like a thing at the time, but was there really much backlash or was it a just a clickbaity thing to get all the gamergate dorks riled till the next female lead movie came out? There were a bunch of people posting "fixed" fanart of her that included making her face prettier, giving her cleavage, smaller waist, much smaller shoulders, giving her heels&miniskirt etc. Lots of people claiming they were respecting the true intent of the original show, a show that in the 80s if they were kids they probably made fun for being girly.

Larryb posted:This fandom is insane and makes me glad I’m just a casual viewer at best. Well, yes and no, only because of the extremes on each side. The "fandom" of people want sexed up cartoon characters is a pretty specific flavor of men who hate sjws and claim any poc inclusion is pandering, its not unique to Shera by any means. They glomp onto the latest flavor of the week and scream their heads off about how X is now ruined. The other side is anime furry Twitter, where it's a race to cancel whoever whenever you can for percieved slights as evidenced from the attempt to cancel Noelle over some random livestream.

Larryb posted:The CGI Netflix show was mentioned a little in this month's edition of SFX Magazine: Is this one of those 60 episode deals, where Netflix just staggers it out across however many seasons they want? The weird "season 2 part 1" stuff can not die in a fire fast enough.
