People (as in, adult males) are upset with the redesign of She-Ra.

Wanna know what an Incel looks like?

I was afraid to click on that link. I have now clicked on this link. This man has fewer eyebrows than I expected. I am now concerned that more men that I otherwise suspected are this type of men. Nightmares forever.

He's not bad looking. Just an idiot. I hope he grows out of it before he further embarrasses himself.

That's my point, he looks like a normal person and not like the incel stereotype. Meaning everyone I meet can totally be an incel. :P

But seriously, I suspect most of these guys would be able to look normal and attract women if they didn't have a crappy personality

On the plus side, learning about this increased the chances of me watching it about 2000% now that I know Noelle Stevenson is involved.

I don't know what that is, but I am intrigued with your ambivalence toward She-Ra.

I also am mad at myself for getting on a soapbox this morning to lecture on never using homosexuality as a source of comedy (Trump/Putin memes) lest it normalizes it only hours before the TWO GAYEST CARTOONS EVER come up on my timeline and now I have to hold my stupid tongue.

File this under "kids will use anything to bully other kids."

My IRL middle name is pronounced similarly to She-Ra (but is not, in fact, She-Ra). When the other kids found out, they decided that the most hilarious nickname for me would be "Princess of Power," especially given how failtastic I was in gym class. So while I had quite enjoyed the cartoon, I didn't so much after that.

Ugh. Kids!

I was usually nicknamed the most know-it-all/boring character in whatever show kids were watching that year.

I never got any cartoon-based nicknames (but I tried)

Except a few years ago when I seemed to unite humanity (or at least my divorced parents and my sibling) in the fact that Rango reminded them of me.

Princess of Power is an awesome nickname, though! I wish I had a nickname like that! Just don't think about them being snarky about gym class and think about how it does reflect your true nature as someone who is a majestic badass :)

And I'm not saying He-Man is gay. Just that he's ripped, has a page-boy haircut, a pet tiger, and a best friend named Ram-Man.
