criticizing childrens media is important and absolutely necessary but when i say i dont want discourse about kids shows im not saying ‘dont call out the racism in thia show, its for kids, it doesnt matter’ what im saying is no i dont want to see essays on why catra from she ra is an irredeemable abuser written by a 26 year old who doesnt go outside

*grabs screen* CATRA IS A SURVIVOR OF AN EXTREME ABUSIVE SITUATION AND LIKE MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUFFERED THROUGH THIS SITUATION SHE BLAMES THOSE WHO WENT THROUGH IT WITH HER FOR NOT BEING THERE TO PROTECT HER SHE IS A COMPLEX EMOTIONAL CHARACTER WHO IS DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB AT CREATING A PATHWAY FOR CHILDREN TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY DON’T HAVE TO ACCEPT BEING TREATED BADLY BY THOSE IN AUTHORITY AND I HAVE SOME SERIOUS FEELINGS HERE!!!!!
