hey so I came across this on 4chan, apparently it’s getting review bombed by seething anti-sjws who see this cartoon made for girls as an attack on manhood or some shit. it’s pathetic and I doubt this show deserves that
so yeah, if anyone wants to write some better reviews… I’m not saying you have to write anything good about it, dunk on it if you like, I’m just saying it would be nice if people who actually watched it (I haven’t yet personally) gave it some reviews based on it’s actual merits and flaws
I’ve honestly been expecting this to happen ever since the show was announced. Geek culture is filled to the BRIM with toxic masculinity from guys who spent decades getting picked on. Their anger turns to gatekeeping and they see ANYONE getting into THEIR fandoms as a THREAT that must be stopped. And of course, since geek culture is predominately filled with straight white men, they see any deviation from this “norm” as a threat as well.
If it doesn’t cater to THEM, then it doesn’t deserve to exist as far as they’re concerned. And how DARE women enjoy something without THEIR approval, right?
The fact that these review bombs keep happening to any media that breaks from the stagnating mold, is a blight on geek culture as a whole. We’re BETTER than this. Grow up and let people enjoy stuff. Stop gatekeeping and stop dissing stuff that’s most likely not meant for you. You don’t have to watch it, and you lose nothing by ignoring it.
Seriously though, if any of my fans want to go over there and post some positive reviews, please do so. Try to combat this nonsense if you can.

“How dare She-Ra / Star Wars / Dr. Who star a girl, spit middle-aged losers who immediately and vengefully spend way more time than necessary demonising and trying to destroy the reputation of a piece of fiction not aimed at them primarily”
Rinse, repeat article.
It’s so GOOD, too!
I put in my review- audience score is now up to 63%!
Also, the majority of rude comments are like ‘the original was better’ but have like… y’all seen the original? I mean sure- I ate it up as a kid, but… seriously.
I mean people can enjoy the original for nostalgia but it was nothing but a 30 minute cartoon
I sincerely doubt many of these people actually watched the original. Plenty of them are probably my age and are too young for it. They just want to spit on girl friendly content made by a queer creator because it’s not created with the male geek gaze in mind.
So y’all should watch She Ra because it’s got a lot of lesbian potential (look at those background characters) and also cuz the animators put taakitz in the background
imagine not understanding the concept of the therapeutic effects that hot water has on the body and the skin and that no, it’s not ideal for cleaning yourself but yes it’s very beneficial for those with skin problems or chronic pain
the best parts of “british cuisine” aren’t even originated from the u.k…. fish and chips was brought over by jewish immigrants, curry was stolen from india, nandos is portuguese. all they gots is mashed potatoes and boiled unseasoned sausage. and eel pie. and chip cobs.
just a reminder that everything good about england came from immigrants
it’s cos we dont have walls :)))))
no, instead of a “wall” you have a majority population who voted pro-brexit because of the sheer virulent hatred for immigrants across britain and all of europe.
Get a candle with the color that corresponds with that you want (ex: love-red, green-wealth,etc), light the candle, write what you want on a little piece of paper and fucking burn that shit. There you have it kids, mostly every spell I’ve ever done.
i think one of the most common dangers I run into in the edible and medicinal plant scene is the problem of “can you eat it” vs. “should you eat it”
a lot of websites and books these days will be like “ten wild plants you can use to make tea” without then listing the actual use for those teas because all they care about is the novelty of making your own tea from things you picked in the woods.
They tell you stuff like “A wonderfully cleansing medicine, it supports the liver, stimulates the flow of urine and the removal of waste by the kidneys.”
And people are so into the idea of cleansing their bodies of supposed toxins, that sounds great!
But what I know is that what they really mean is, this plant is a diuretic, meaning if you use it for tea, you’re going to peeing All. Day. Long. Every. Ten. Minutes.
Which isn’t fun if you’re on a hike or about to get back in your car and drive an hour home.
Some popular plants recommended for teas are used as contraceptives and morning after treatments. So here you are, trying to get pregnant, drinking your natural to rid your kidneys of impurities, being healthy as can be, and all along you’re taking birth control!
And if you’re already taking birth control and trying to not get pregnant, the plant can mess you up too.
There are plants that mess with antidepressants, and with blood pressure medicine, that make you sick to your stomach, that messes with your blood, and on and on.
And all of these sources will just list them as something you can eat, because hey, you won’t die if if you do!
Which is true, you’ll live, but at what cost!!!
Please remember herbal remedies and edible plants have always been consumed and applied with a PURPOSE, and unless you know what that purpose is, don’t consume them just because you can. It’s a bad idea.
