Recently, infuriated 'fan boys' have been getting their panties in a bunch because, there was a photo shown of the re-boot Netflix She-ra that is coming in November, and they've all lost their cool.
So, many of them are b*tching about how the new iteration, drawn and helmed by none other than Noelle Stevenson, isn't the 80s' She-ra we all grew up with.
This "new" She-ra isn't voluptious, curvy nor eye candy for thirsty 'neckbeards' whom only think that a cartoon female has one sole purpose, and that is to have them drool over her.
I saw the infamous picture and you know what, at first, my reaction was (to be honest) "hmmm, she's different" but I wasn't "ewww, that's not She-ra!!!"
I am proud that Stevenson and Netflix have come up with this new version of her. She's not curvy nor sensual, but she looks fierce, dignified.
This is definitely a character that I would love my daughter to grow up with.
It's about time that young girls can grow up with positive body imaged role models that can let them know that it is o.k. to not just be an object for men's desires. You are unique, brilliant and awesome just the way you are.
And although, I've whined about other nostalgic shows, and being re-done/re-booted, when I've been wrong, I've come out and said so as much.
The point IS, that when it comes to positive female role-models in the past, there were very few whom didn't have the voluptuous, 'eye-candy' stereotype. But this is a new day and age, and I think we need to embrace change, and we need to leave better children for the future. Those whom see past old gendered stereotyped, sexist roles and embraces differences.
So, will I be watching the new 'She-ra' series? Of course! I want to see what they've come up for such an iconic bad-ass. And if you still have your panties in a twist about the upcoming re-boot, then just pop in some old school She=ra, for pete's sake, and stop whining about this one, duh. 😉
