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.
