#anti c*tradora

[thats-ill-eagle]

(Also applies to both yuri and hetero ships.)

It's all about the balance. Even if the abused partner is also an asshole, if they are mistreated by their partner without returning 'the favor' to them, that's not 'toxic relationship that is such a shitshow on both sides, that it's entertaining to watch'. It's just abuse that should not under any circumstances be romanticized or downplayed by the show/movie or its fandom, even if it's fictional.

[spopsalt]

friend, i came with something different today that is so anti C//A: see and analyce this pictures

now, for you, which of this tropes represent c*tradora the most ? ( this is a personal opinion so no answer is good or wrong ) and why ?

I LAUGHED HARDER THAN I SHOULD'VE AT THE FIRST ONE THAT'S LITERAL CATRA WHAT!? Anyways, changing the subject, I would say probably the second one, even though the show stopped protraying Catra as bad in season 5, but the spop fandom just sees her as a poor little meow meow who did nothing wrong and it was Adora's fault for leaving her! Even though Adora offered to take Catra with her and Catra rejected

Hey, I don't mean to overstep or seem rude, but could you please tag anti-c*tradora stuff? Sorry for the inconvenience.

I was just letting off steam but I already deleted the post a bit ago. Just being a typical hater. I don’t usually bring up SPOP as I don’t care for it anymore so don’t worry too much over seeing posts about it. I try not to talk too much about things I dislike but sometimes it’s gonna happen.

But, erm, I should be able to criticize things I don’t like on my own blog. Not everyone’s gonna like what you like. Just ignore me and try to learn to shrug it off. Ideally, we’d have a mute post option but we don’t. I don’t mean to hurt you personally when I say things like that. If I posted about it more, I’d have an official tag for that but I didn’t bring it up for years until just now so I think we’re safe.

[verdantmeadows]

I follow an anti C//tradora blog because it has interesting points and helps me think about how I could write characters with problems like C/tra's if I ever needed to without falling to the flaws of SP0P. I still ship C//tradora of course (my only issues of it is that C/tra isn't really given a redemption arc and they didn't let Ad0ra forgive her on her own terms). But then I saw them say that it is basically inc3stual and their relationship relies on them being sisters. Girl what. What the fuck are you talking about. I was with you until then.

[iholli]

wait what’s wrong w catradora lol

There's many, many, many essays explaining why c*tradora is bad but to sum it up, the girl who spent literally the entire show learning to be her own person instead of what everybody else wants becomes catgirl lesbian gf because that's what she wants (guilt trips) her to do. even though two seasons ago Adora decided she didn't want anything more to do with the catgirl who LITERALLY (almost) DESTROYED THE UNIVERSE (and killed Angella in the process) because Catra is physically and emotionally abusive, manipulative, selfish, and frankly just a cruel person. Which c*tradora fans ignore in favor of the Canon Lesbian Relationship Saving The World™ (Adora could've done it herself, and really saved everyone with Hordak, but w/e) and it's okay because Catra was abused and made a very half-assed apology to everyone, including the disabled woman she manipulated repeatedly and then sent to her (intended) death.

Given how popular c*tradora is, i'm scared of how it will influence baby gays

The Romanticizing of Abuse

So, I just finished watching this video (”Killing Stalking” and the Romancing of Abuse by James Somerton. Link here: https://youtu.be/ujmgqNyZ190) and it was a wonderful (if horrific in the content itself) take on media featuring abuse. This entire video features a “gay romance” which is actually two characters in a horror situation and arguably in a torture p*rn situation. The argument of this video is that the piece of media in question was never intended on being romantic, and yet the fanbase perceives it that way. Then the author of the video proceeds to explain why this phenomenon continues to happen today. 

I found the most interesting part of it at 52:40, where the questions “why did these two need to be gay?”, “were the sex scenes necessary?”, and “if the [abused character] where a woman, would it have hit too close to home to the author?” Which are all excellent questions, mind you, but now I want to bring it back to our LGBT+ media and well, the ship that this blog is mainly about, though it applies to every other abusive ship in modern media. 

Everyone who has watched SPOP knows that the characters that have actually achieved a healthy LGBT+ relationship (Netossa and Spinerella; Lance and George), have very little screen time. Of course, this also means that we have no idea of knowing if they have healthy relationships, but for the sake of this post, we’ll assume that they do. (Not being written at all simply protects these couples from being written poorly written, so... Good job, I guess?) Meanwhile, C//A gets the focus for a huge portion of the show where we are continuously seeing Adora get abused. 

Their relationship concludes with Adora envisioning a future where she has C*tra by her side, presumably married, and framed by the narrative as the best thing that could happen to her after all she’d been through. It is the reward from the narrative that Adora should be with her abuser for sticking around with her for this long. It seems to be written as if it’s impossibly romantic. 

Why couldn’t Adora, the main protagonist, end up with someone who she hadn’t had to endure the entire series? Well, it might have been a boring conclusion! It might have been overwhelmingly anticlimactic, just like our two healthy gay couples are, who lurk solely in the background until it’s time for them to help out the plot. What interesting things could possibly be happening with two couples who already have their shit together? Nothing, I’m sure! /s 

My question is this: Are we not already at a point that LGBT+ relationships are normal enough? Do they have be entwined with these abusive aspects to make them “interesting”? 

There was so much to unpack with poor Spinerella, Netossa, Lance and George. I wouldn’t want that in canon, because, well, they aren’t the main characters, but to have the protagonist have a simple, healthy relationship? That isn’t asking for so much. 

The standard has to be raised.

I highly suggest watching the video that inspired this post! It was entertaining, informative, insightful, and extremely unnerving. It hit so many points that I couldn’t help but appreciate, though. 

[homunculusalphonse]

Do you ever think about how whack it is that Adora spent seasons 1 through 4 saying how much she DIDNT want to be She Ra or have a destiny and would rather find her birth family she was stolen from and go home, but how for SOME REASON in season 5 she says she LIKED being She Ra and having a destiny made her feel important??? WHAT???

Oh yeah, this was something I eventually realized upon seeing the criticisms towards C*tradora. I thought Adora's personal arc up until s4 was very interesting. I loved Adora standing up to Catra in s3, and you have NO IDEA how loud I cheered when Adora destroyed the sword in s4! She was stepping her foot down, asserting herself as a person. Not as a soldier, not as a weapon, and most importantly not as someone who should follow orders and someone else's destiny - whether it's Catra's desire to take over the world, Shadow Weaver's own twisted plans or the First Ones' true intentions regarding Etheria.

And yeah, like... I'll be honest, I'm almost sure I raised an eyebrow at Adora saying she "liked believing she had a destiny" upon first watching s5 (I'm guilty of dismissing all my concerns really, I'll talk about them in a future post). Considering how determined she was to find her family and her origins, it was weird seeing Adora say the complete opposite and just... drop all her questionings?? Like, even if she never reunited with her biological family and then realized she had a family in Bright Moon, Adora's entire character arc is given a shamefully shallow conclusion. I get s5's intentions with promoting self-love for Adora, but 1) they throw out Adora's admiring determination to choose for herself after an entire life of being kept in the dark, and 2) for Catra of all people to be the only person to give Adora the "love" she deserves is a massive middle finger to her growth, and to Bow, Glimmer, Angella and literally everyone else who did a lot more to protect and care for Adora than Catra ever could.

SPOP edits

guys i decided i'm gonna do edits like this:

i started with the anti C*tr* and anti C//A but maybe later i will do glimmadora and adonnie/lonnadora edits. Also i get inspired buy this edits on pinterest:

Guys, you can request me if you wan't i made an anti C*tr*// C*tradora edit or a glimmadora// adonnie, lonnadora edit :3

[spopsalt]

Friend, i got something funny that i got from instagram, listen i open the app just to find this. I mean it's funny because that account excuse that C*tr* " change " and we have to stop calling her a bad person when she clearly didn't change at all. C//A are the most blind person ( worst than in miraculous ladybug ) like how can't they don't see that they are shipping adoptive sisters and stan a abusive relationship. I though that i have to show you this so i know what do you think ( even I hate C//A and i'm an anti- c*tradora sometimes is funny seeing how C//A shippers tries to convince everyone that the ship is fine and C*tr* is a good person when ins't it and they cannot even accept that their ship is actually incest and abusive ) also another good point i could find is that us anti-c*tradora's are winning because now there is almost noone posting about C//A ( art/tweets/ etc ) and everyone forgots about it ( i think is for total drama new season and cookie run kingdom because we are excited for the new update but i'm not so sure ) but well following the C//A topic, what do you think about this post ?

Thanks for the ask! And for Catra to really change,we need to see her make an effort. She still disrespects Adora's boundaries, insults her, and even left her on her death bed. Reminder people have to put in effort to change, we can still call them a bad person <3

[smoldragonblood]

“Why can’t C*tra antis leave the fandom if they hate it so much?”

Damn didn’t know the whole show consisted of C*tra and C*tradora. Wait theres other characters that people love? Huh? And you can hate the main characters or canon pairings?? What?

Anyway the entire fandom doesn’t revolve around C/tra and her relationship with Adora. There are other things in the show people love

[mam0ssa]

“oh no, how dare Glimmer yell at Adora and be kind of a b*tch in season 4, meanwhile, I love C//tra despite her throughout 4 whole seasons literally beating the f*ck out of Adora, trying to kill her multiple times, ending the universe because C//tra didn’t want Adora to “win,” kidnapping her friends, almost killing bow, and removing Adora’s bodily autonomy when C//tra has first ones tech and threatens to use Adora’s berserk She.ra to slaughter her own friends, but omg, couple goals <3 <3 <3″

bruh

"But GLIMMER immediately regretted it so"

She immediately regretted THIS

And only because Adora finally cracked and started crying

She did not immediately regret/try to apologize for

This

Or

This (trying to touch her when she's uncomfortable and getting mad at her for it)

“Adora could have saved the world with Hordak” Hordak did absolutely nothing but throw a tantrum 💀💀💀 throwing HP off the platform did absolutely nothing, he was literally useless. Also Adora would have died if Catra wasn’t there. Rewatch the show maybe? You obviously didn’t pay enough attention

"he was literally useless" someone doesn't understand the meaning it held for Hordak to not only defy and reject but try to kill his god, to save Entrapta. Oh, right, how could I forget, c*tra stans would rather pretend she was the victim of cultic religious brainwashing instead of Hordak.

Everything except Entrapdak in season 5 was a joke with c*tr*dora shoehorned in for the creator's pet. Maybe you should gain some critical thinking beyond uwu poor sad innocent catgirl uwu and rewatch the show yourself.

[adorawasright]

i say that i don't like being called a anti but i also hate the fact that the two anti c*tradora urls are pretty much taken by stans bc they're severely more immature than the "antis"
