Looked through the She-Ra tag and immediately found someone who thought Catra didn’t deserve a redemption arc .

I thought we went through this already with Azula’s poorly handled end.

SHE IS A TEENAGE GIRL.

A TEENAGER.

an ABUSED teenager at that. ABUSED. A lot of people react with extreme anger and withdrawal when they are abused and abandoned over and over again!!!

Also it is a CARTOON. Not everyone is going to be horribly gruesomely punished and ostracized like someone who got canceled on twitter for fuck’s sake! The whole POINT of the show is that friends, family, love and connection are what make us strong.

And it’s reiterated over and over and over again throughout the WHOLE SHOW that the Rebellion are KIND and FORGIVING people. And while yes, Catra may not have been “punished enough” by the people she hurt… she also paid so many high prices for what she did. And ultimately sacrificed herself even when she could’ve benefitted from just following along the next big bad.

#I am so frustrated about how people treat Catra in general YES I KNOW SHE SUCKED FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE SERIES #BUT SHE WAS A SCARED AND HURT TEENAGER AND NO THAT DOESNT EXCUSE HER ACTIONS BUT SHE WAS T R Y I N G TO CHANGE #spop #spop spoilers #she ra princess of power #she ra princess of power spoilers #she ra #she ra spoilers #like I get it’s not the best show ever but also this is a hugely openly queer show that fought tooth and nail for a FULL five seasons ok???#nothing will EVER be perfect and if you dedicate your life to trying to force everything to be ‘’perfect’’ you will NEVER be satisfied #or happy #or all around fun to be around.#you’ll end up reflecting Calvinist Christianity to its finest;#making yourself and everyone around you miserable for the sake of some bullshit puritanical standards.#AND FURTHERMORE can we NOT make a laughably near satirical mirror of the obvious representation of oppressive Christian regimes?????#like hello did we watch the same show????
