Booming LGBTQ Representation in Animation in 2021 [Part 1]

Two of the choices for “Fan Favorite Couple” in Autostraddle’s Annual Gay Emmys in September 2021 were in animated series. Both choices are highlighted here by yellow boxes.

In December 2020, I wrote that there is “hope in the future for diverse storylines and expanded representation,” adding that there is “a lot to look forward to in 2021 in terms of animated series…[which] will undoubtedly affect the ongoing war between streaming platforms for more subscribers, profits for themselves, and film distribution itself.” That still rings true, and 2021 has even more representation that I had imagined in December 2020, with continuing series like The Owl House, Disenchantment, Helluva Boss, Star Trek: Lower Decks, the third (and final) season of Final Space, and many others. The representation in 2021 is part of the “whirlwind” of LGBTQ representation which creator Noelle Stevenson described in November 2021.

Reprinted from Pop Culture Maniacs, my History Hermann WordPress blog on Jan. 15, 2023, and Wayback Machine. This was the seventh article I wrote for Pop Culture Maniacs. This post was originally published on January 5, 2022.

When Autostraddle, a digital lesbian culture publication, posted about their annual awards show, the Annual Gay Emmys, in September 2021, the influence of LGBTQ representation in animation was evident. [1] While most of the nominees for the categories were live-action series, there was an entire category dedicated to such series, “Outstanding Animated Series.” Harley Quinn, Blues Clues & You!, the “Obsidian” episode of Adventure Time: Distant Lands, The Owl House, “The Politics Episode” of One Day at a Time, and Magical Girl Friendship Squad were nominees. [2] The Harley Quinn episode “Something Borrowed,” was one of the nominees for the “Best Episode with LGBTQ+ Themes” category, and two couples in animated series were nominated for the “Fan Favorite Couple” question. When the results were announced Harley Quinn won for Outstanding Animated Series, although it was unfortunately the only animated series to win in a category. Of the series nominated, Magical Girl Friendship Squad and One Day at a Time ended in 2020, [3] Distant Lands ended in 2021, while three others are ongoing (Harley Quinn, Blue Clues & You!, and The Owl House).

Keeping this in mind, reviewer Jade King, in a review of The Owl House, said “we shouldn’t look toward giant corporations for continual queer representation.” While that still rings true, many of the shows with LGBTQ representation are produced and broadcast by such companies. For instance, of the over 20 Western animations noted in this article, almost all of them are produced by the subsidiaries of companies like Disney, WarnerMedia, NBCUniversal, ViacomCBS, and Sony, which bring in more than $1 billion a year. [4] The same is the case with many of the Japanese anime series noted in this post, which tend to have more LGBTQ representation, generally, than Western animation, although the instances of representation between Western and Japanese animation is slowly reaching the same level, and Japanese anime often plays into “many problematic aspects” and stereotypes in one way or another. King also pointed out that queer representation is not a competition, but should be a collaboration, rather than putting down one show while elevating another, arguing that “queer representation isn’t a linear path to acceptance. It’s messy and inconsistent.”

In 2021, shows on streaming platforms lead the way when it came to representation. Netflix tops the list in this regard, with shows like Disenchantment, Carmen Sandiego (to a lesser extent), and City of Ghosts. With Disenchantment, the show was described as “queer through and through,” with what some would call queer vibes throughout, had its third part air on Netflix in January of 2021. Recurring characters Odval (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) and Sorcerio (voiced by Billy West) were shown to be a gay couple, while there was an implied gay couple between Big Jo (voiced by LaMarche), and his assistant, Porky. Furthermore, Princess Bean, called a “rebellious, alcoholic, adventurous princess” by one reviewer, the show’s protagonist, voiced by Abbi Jacobson, was shown to be bisexual or pansexual. This is illustrated through her kissing the elf, Elfo (voiced by Nat Faxon), trying to have sex with various men, seeming to have feelings for Lady Bowmore (voiced by Tress MacNeille), female explorer, and falling in love with a mermaid named Mora (voiced by Meredith Hagner). This is further supported by the fact that Jacobsen is bisexual herself, making the representation that much more genuine. As for Carmen Sandiego, it was more implied than anything else. In February, in Instagram Live interview, Duane Capizzi, the showrunner of Carmen Sandiego, said that it was intentional that Le Chevre (also known as Jean Paul) and El Topo (also known as Antonio) were together, and confirmed them at a couple, calling them villains which are “sweet,” but you “can’t help but love.” [5]

Carmen Sandiego and Julia Argent in the Carmen Sandiego: To Steal or Not to Steal animated film

Some fans also speculated that protagonist Carmen Sandiego had feelings for Julia “Jules” Argent, called “Carulia” by fans, but that has not been confirmed by Capizzi or anyone on the show’s staff. Similarly, for City of Ghosts, the LGBTQ representation was subtle rather than outward like in Disenchantment. In the case of that series, Thomas, one of the show’s protagonists, a specialist of the Ghost Club and voiced by transgender child actor Blue Chapman, was non-binary, confirmed as such by show creator Elizabeth Ito. One episode of the series also showed a character with two mothers. The series, more broadly, was praised for its simple animation and characters, but having “strikingly complex” stories and background art which reflects the “realities of one of America’s richest cultural melting pots,” Los Angeles.

Disenchantment, Carmen Sandiego, and City of Ghosts were not the only Netflix shows with LGBTQ characters. The kids-oriented Ridley Jones also included such characters. The preschool animated series included a non-binary bison named Fred voiced by Iris Menas, and two characters (Aten and Kosi) voiced by Andrew Rannells and Chris Colfer, two openly gay actors. The series was created by Chris Nee, who created series like We The People and Doc McStuffins, both of which featured LGBTQ characters. Nee described herself as gay and “relatively butch” in an interview in 2021. Jacobson, who had voiced Bean in Disenchantment, voiced Katie, the protagonist of the animated film, The Mitchells vs. the Machines. In the film, she wears a pin with a rainbow flag and later is noted as having a girlfriend named Jade at film school, with the representation relatively subtle. More outward, in terms of the representation, were Chicago Party Aunt, which included a a gay man named Daniel, and Q-Force, which featured an assortment of LGBTQ characters. The latter series, which had caused great controversy and consternation online due to its use of stereotypes, features a gay protagonist named Steve Maryweather (voiced by Sean Hayes), a gay man named Benji (voiced by Gabe Liedman), a lesbian woman named Deb (voiced by Wanda Sykes), and a gay drag queen named Twink (voiced by Matt Rogers). A late-comer to this article was Arcane, the first part which aired from November 6 to November 20. Show writer Amanda Overton confirmed that Caitlyn Kiramman was a lesbian, saying that there is no word for gay or stigmatization against it in Piltover, meaning that Caitlyn could “marry any gender or race suitor,” but such a person would become “a part of her house.” Overton also said that the relationship between Caitlyn and Vi is “naturally developing,” with the trauma that Vi’s parents were killed by Enforcers, with Vi also confirmed as a lesbian as well. On Twitter, Overton said that everyone on the show’s crew is “working together to tell the same story.”

On November 25, 2021, the final season of F Is For Family, aired on Netflix. It included Louis, the gay brother of Sue, a character voiced by Neil Patrick Harris, an openly gay actor. It also included Ginny Throater, who divorces her husband, Greg Throater, and is bisexual, while Greg is gay, and divorces her as a result. Additionally, Eileen, Frank’s sister, is lesbian and becomes Ginny’s lover. The second and final season of the Netflix series, Centaurworld, premiered on December 7. It featured three gay characters: Zulius, Ched, and Splendib. Zulius, who was hinted to be gay in the show’s first season was confirmed as such in the second season, while Ched was revealed to be gay. Furthermore, Zulius is voiced by Parvesh Cheena, an openly gay actor.

Other than shows on Netflix, there were multiple series on other streaming platforms included LGBTQ characters. For instance, Volume 8 of RWBY, running from November 2020 to March 2021, which streamed on the Rooster Teeth website, featured a trans woman named May Marigold, who is voiced by a trans woman, Kdin Jenzen, a bisexual catlike woman named Blake Belladonna (voiced by Arryn Zech), and various lesbian characters. The latter included Ilia Amitola (voiced by Cherami Leigh) and a couple (Saphron and Terra Cotta-Arc) who have a child named Adrian. At the same time, the first season of Invincible, which aired on Amazon Prime from March to April 2021, included a gay recurring character named William Francis Clockwell, voiced by openly gay actor Andrew Rennells.

HBO Max, also owned by Warner Media like Rooster Teeth, featured a gay couple, Jonny Quest and Hadji Sing, in Jellystone!, while Young Justice, which focuses on young superheroes from DC comics, has a rash of such characters. Specifically, Kaldur’ahm/Aqualad (voiced by Khary Payton) is polysexual, while Marie Logan (voiced by Danica McKellar) is bisexual or lesbian, Eduardo “Ed” Dorado Jr. (voiced by Freddy Rodriguez) is gay, Violet Harper (voiced by Zehra Fazal) is genderqueer, Wyynde (voiced by Robbie Daymond) is gay, and Harper Row (voiced by Fazal) is bisexual. The second half of the fourth season of Young Justice premiered in late October of 2021 and aired until December 30, 2021. While Kaldur reappeared in the newest season and with speaking lines, characters such as Ed, Bart, Violet, and Harper either had no lines, were only pictured, or only their voices were heard. At the same time, Logan died in Season 2, Wynnde has not made an appearance. These are unfortunate developments.

The HBO Max preschool series, Little Ellen, featured same-sex couples, with a second part of season one released in October, while Summer Camp Island, which also airs on HBO Max, includes a non-binary couple (Alien King and Puddle) and two presumably gay ghosts. It was also implied in various episodes that Timothy Brice Campbell in the HBO Max series Close Enough was either gay or bisexual. The second and presumably final season of gen:LOCK premiered on HBO Max and it featured a genderfluid character named Val(entina) Romanyszyn. Her character was not only groundbreaking as a genderfluid character by smashing apart tropes attributed to such characters, but is voiced by a non-binary pansexual voice actor named Asia Kate Dillon. Val confirmed that she was pansexual in the same season and Robert Sinclair was shown to be gay, with a boyfriend named Chris.

She-Ra, Bow, and the archives: An "archivy situation," indeed

Lance and George show the Best Friend Squad (Bow, Adora, and Glimmer) First Ones artifacts

Recently, I published an article for ilovelibraries, a division of the American Library Association. In that article, I focused on the library themes in the She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, noting how the season two finale of the show, "Reunion," focused around the two middle-aged Black librarians, George and Lance, who have a library in the Whispering Woods, who are the fathers of Bow. In that episode, Bow, Adora, and Glimmer work to translate a message, with Bow reluctantly revealing his true identity after Adora releases an elemental monster, with his dads accepting him for who he is. I also noted how in the season five episode, "Return to the Fright Zone," with Bow and Glimmer looking for George and Lance, who recount a rebellion against the first settlers of the planet, the First Ones, and as I noted, an "existence of a fail-safe for the superweapon in the planet’s core." This becomes important, with the information they provided helping the show's protagonists, especially Adora and Catra, setting the stage for the final episode's groundbreaking kiss between Adora and Catra, which saves the world and universe from being destroyed by the villainy of Horde Prime. Even saying this, there is a lot more going on in this episode, with some in the archival field have talked about it, noting archival themes.

Reprinted from my Wading Through the Cultural Stacks WordPress blog. Originally published on Aug. 13, 2020.

The first of these is by Metadata Specialist Kathleen Smith of Treasures from the Archives, the blog of Old Dominion University Libraries Special Collections & University Archives. She writes enthusiastically about the episode, "Reunion," stating that Adora and Glimmer find Bow "in the archives," where they learn about ancient pottery and unique artifacts. She also states that she loves this episode most of all because it features a library/archive which is "complete with artifacts and rare books." She further states that the artifacts on display inside reminds her of the ancient Cypriot pottery in ODU's Special Collections’ Dudley Cooper collection while stating that she likes seeing "libraries and archives being represented animatedly." While I appreciate her words, I don't think she is completely right here, when it comes to calling the family library that Bow's dads run an "archive." I would call it a library/museum with archival qualities, which I'll expand on in the next couple paragraphs, with Bow's dads as self-defined historians of the planet's first settlers. I know that galleries, libraries, archives, and museums are "four types of cultural institutions that share a collaborative relationship stemming from their similar missions," otherwise known as GLAM, but these are not the same. The UK National Archives explains how libraries and archives are different,

The books in a library are often secondary sources of information, whereas the records in an archive are primary sources. Archives provide first-hand information or evidence relating to historical events or figures. Library books are arranged by subject and author, whereas information in archives is arranged according to the person or organisation that created it. This means that you will probably need to look at records from more than one source, or more than one archive, as you gather information.

Additionally, the SAA adds that while librarians and archivists both preserve, collect, and make materials accessible, they differ in ways they use, arrange, and use materials in their collections, with materials in archival collections often irreplaceable and unique, while "libraries can usually obtain new copies of worn-out or lost books." The same page talks about the difference between historians and archivists:

These two professions have a longstanding partnership. The archivist identifies, preserves, and makes records accessible for use; the historian uses archival records for research.

On another page, the SAA states that libraries can be defined, generally as "collections of books and/or other print or nonprint materials organized and maintained for use," with patrons accessing materials either in person, through the internet, or checking out materials for home use, with libraries existing to "make their collections available to the people they serve." They add that while archives to make their collections accessible, they differ in the types of materials they hold and how those materials are accessed.

With this being said, I think it is clear that Bow's dads operate a library, and it is what the American Library Association (ALA) calls a special library, which serves "particular populations, such as the blind and physically handicapped, while others are dedicated to special collections." Adding to this, a special library provides specific information on a particular subject, serving a specific group, and delivering services to that group. [1] In the case of the library in She-Ra, its only patrons were George, Lance, presumably Bow, and Bow's 12 brothers, before Adora and Glimmer came along, and its collections focused specifically on artifacts of the First Ones. At the same time, this library has a museum within it, which the CLIR defines as a place that identifies, acquires, preserves, and exhibits objects, while also:

[Promoting] cultural, community, and familial identity and understanding...[providing] experiences where visitors can make connections between content and ideas...[serving] as memory institutions for a culture...support[s] formal and informal learning and research...[and serving] as focal points for communities and promote community interests

While the museum in the family library does promote identity and understanding, while allowing visitors can make connections "between content and ideas," supporting learning and research, I'm not sure it is serving as a memory institution "for a culture," or a focal point for communities, as its original patrons were very limited, as I noted earlier. As such, the situation is archivy, and I'll expand on that later.

This brings me to what Samantha Cross, the Pop Archives guru, writes about the episode, "Reunion," on her blog, POP Archives, stating that while it seems like a stretch when she first considered the episode when she "witnessed the beauty that is Bow's historian fathers," she wanted to talk about it. She began by summarizing the show, noting that Bow's fathers, historians "who have no idea that he's a soldier in the resistance against the Hoard." She adds that the home of Bow's fathers is a museum/library/archive of "documents, research, and artifacts devoted to the enigmatic ancient-yet-advanced society" of the First Ones, with these dads believing Adora and Bow are Bow's schoolmates at the Academy of Historical Enterprises (an academy Bow made up), giving them a tour of their home. She further notes that even though George and Lance are called historians automatically doesn't take them out of the archives because "there are plenty of archivists who are historians and have a degree in history or started with a history major before moving into archives." Even so, she laments that the home of George and Lance isn't defined as a "particular institution," but is less thought to be an archives when a "museum or a library presents a less complex visual representation." She closes by noting the purpose of introducing Bow's family while adding that you have to "squint and imagine George and Lance appraising, selecting, arranging, and describing their First Ones collection," although she says she would enjoy seeing their "lavish history-based home in a future episode." And see that we do!

In the show’s last season, Bow’s family library makes an appearance in the episode, “Return in the Fright Zone.” In this episode, Bow and Glimmer teleport into the library to check up on his dads. The place has been abandoned and is a wreck. Thanks to a note left behind, both teleport to the Crystal Castle ruins, and find his dads there. Both recount their discoveries: an ancient rebellion against the planet’s first settlers and the existence of a fail-safe for the superweapon in the planet’s core. This information becomes vitally important in the effort by Adora, Catra, and her friends to save the world (and universe) from destruction.

Library as first seen in the episode "Reunion"

All of this begs the question: is Bow's family home a library, archives, or a museum? The fact it is basically a combination of three, it's kinda library-archives-museum hybrid, specifically a special library with a museum within and having archival qualities. This is much better than Star Wars which badly merged a library into an archives with a good number of stereotypes. Without a doubt, it is a positive depiction of libraries in animation, beginning when Glimmer and Adora entering the library unannounced at the beginning of the episode. We know that Bow's dads are academic in a sense as they are impressed by Bow going to an academy, even though it is a made-up one, and the majors his friends supposedly had. Later in the episode, George and Lance still help Adora, Glimmer, and Bow figure out a message, using a library projector, recognize it is a constellation, and where the message is being broadcast from. Of course, they both caution them to not travel there, but you can tell that they will go there anyway (as predicted in my friend's fan fiction), which happens at the beginning of Season 3.

Apart from this, I'd like to say that one of my favorite lines of the episode is uttered by Glimmer, who tells Adora "we have to find Bow and get him out of this...uh...library?" as is Adora's line about being scholars. I thought it was interesting that Glimmer is hurt by the deception from Bow, who claims she doesn't "know him" anymore, even though she misses the hints about where he came from, as Bow tells Adora in the show's second episode, "...I'm starting to get a little freaked out. I mean, I pretty much grew up in these woods and I've never even seen this part of them. I've heard of stories about weird stuff out here." Apart from saying all this, it is clear that Bow's home is, more than anything else, a giant and beautiful library, with its introduction which is proceeded by music trying to make it seem magical. It seems to be a welcoming place, where you can be offered food and drink, and full of knowledge. I also enjoyed how Adora aids Bow’s dads in translating a message as part of their three-person “Best Research Squad,” and she accidentally releases an elemental monster, causing havoc in the library.

Finally, my good friend broached this subject in a fan fiction, "The Library of the Whispering Woods,"  noting it had the "largest collection of artifacts and writings of the First Ones in all Etheria," and described it as "open to visitors and researchers." As my good friend envisioned it, this library had an open public access catalog (OPAC) allowing users to easily find relevant items and searchable, along with having many resources available so that people could continue their "quest for knowledge." This included video archives, various exhibits and rooms, and various processes in place to review their diverse and inclusive collections. My friend envisioned that Bow's dads were interested in the "open exchange of knowledge" in this special library with features which would be "befitting of an archives," with one of them even doing an oral history interview with one of the characters. This showed that this library was a "magical space with never-ending potential and promise" while it was also "a repository of knowledge which could help them all find answers." The library gave "them enough of an answer to move on to the next part of their quest."

To conclude this article, I tend to see Bow's family home as more a library than anything else, which is why, in the first version of the article I submitted to ilovelibraries, I called it a library/museum, although that was changed to a library in the published edition. There are undoubtedly archival qualities of the family library in the Whispering Woods, so it is understandable some in the field would see it as an archives. I would end by saying, from my analysis, the home itself is a special library with a museum, meaning that there are archival elements.

Carmen Sandiego's search for her roots comes to an end

The Chief looks at the file Jules has compiled on Carmen's mother

Reprinted from my Genealogy in Popular Culture WordPress blog. Originally published on Jan. 24, 2021.

In the past, on this blog, I've written about the family history themes in the animated series, Carmen Sandiego, especially in the show's first, second and third seasons. [1] The final episode of the series brought this full circle, after Julia "Jules" Argent, who had been tasked with finding Carmen's mother, talks with the Chief of ACME about what they know, which I talk about on my Wading Through The Cultural Stacks blog. Spoilers to anyone who has read this far. So, if you do not wish to be spoiled, then please don't read any further.

Anyway, the records that Jules and the Chief look at are very illuminating. They say the following:

Carmen's mother is Carlotta Valdez, born and raised in Vera Cruz, Mexico before moving to Buenos Aires, Argentina

She founded an orphanage six months after Dexter Wolfe's death

Wolfe was raising a family

What is amazing is they find this out by looking at travel records, photographs, and other evidence. They don't even need a DNA test from Carmen herself! Amazing work, Jules! Seriously. That's what makes this so great! I'm a big fan of using hard evidence rather than information from DNA tests, but I understand people having to use DNA. Still, no one should think that DNA is a be-all-end-all that will give them the true answers about their origins. That will, generally, only come from documents or perhaps oral stories. We see images of Carmen's mother in the episode, which I'm not sharing here, but she looks just like Carmen. In an attempt to bring in Carmen, ACME agents come near the orphanage where Carlotta works, but they don't enter it. Shadowsan does, and confirms that indeed this woman is Carmen's mother, seeing photographs of her and Wolff on a bookshelf, promising to tell her when she comes back "from the darkness" (she is currently in a state of being brainwashed by VILE to do their evil deeds).

Later in the episode, after VILE has been hobbled, she is handed a file about her past by Shadowsan and allowed to choose her own path. She is then shown on the streets of Buenos Aires and coming to the door of the orphanage to meet her mother.

Carmen walking down the streets of Buenos Aires, nervous about meeting her mother.

Best of luck to Carmen! This is such a great story of family discovery and ancestry that it should be shouted from the rooftops.

[1] There's also an episode ("The V.I.L.E. History Caper") where Professor Maelstrom discusses his Norse ancestry, but it's so brief that writing a whole post about that really wouldn't be possible, to be honest.

15 Free & Premium Resources & Tools for Designers in 2024

Too many good things may not actually be a good thing. Modern life is already filled with noise, making it challenging to sift through repeated or similar information without feeling overloaded.

This holds true for web design resources as well. The goal here is to cut through the noise, directing your attention towards a curated collection of tools and resources. The big-name options already have plenty of exposure and are easily found, so they were intentionally excluded from this list.

Instead, we focus on showcasing 15 outstanding web design tools and resources that fly under the radar. These free and premium picks are less commonly discussed, offering fresh perspectives and solutions in the already crowded web design landscape.

Website and page building tools that include a very promising free AI website builder together with some popular free and premium WordPress themes.

"The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder": A Revival Which Lives Up to the Original

The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder tells the story of Penny Proud, a 14-year-old Black girl who navigates the 2020s with her ambitious mom, overprotective dad, loving grandmother, troublesome siblings, and loyal school friends.

Reprinted from The Geekiary, my History Hermann WordPress blog, and Wayback Machine. This was the thirty-third article I wrote for The Geekiary. This post was originally published on March 13, 2022.

The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder is a coming-of-age comedy series and animated sitcom by Bruce W. Smith and Ralph Farquhar which began airing on February 23 of this year. It is a revival of The Proud Family, an all-ages animated series that aired on the Disney Channel from 2001 to 2005, and marked the first original animated series on the Disney Channel.

As a warning, this recommendation discusses spoilers for the first four episodes of The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder

Oscar dressed up as Prince and Trudy in a flashback in episode 2

The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder centers on Penny Proud (Kyla Pratt), a 14-year-old teenage girl who lives in the town of Smithville with her mom Trudy (Paula Jai Parker), dad Oscar (Tommy Davidson), paternal grandmother Sugar Mama (Jo Marie Payton), her pet dog Puff (audio effects provided by Carlos Alazraqui), and her two younger siblings BeBe (Aiden Dodson) and CeCe (Bresha Webb).

The show also features Penny's enthusiastic but selfish and untrustworthy best friend, Dijonay Jones (Karen Malina White), who likes to gossip. Her antics have often gotten Penny in trouble. Both hang out with Zoey Howzer (Soleil Moon Frye), a smart but timid, shy, and kind White girl, and an Afro-Latine girl, LaCienega Boulevardez (Alisa Reyes) who is beautiful, popular, and an excellent student. Although she is good friends with Dijonay, she is the frenemy of Penny. LaCienega is able to convince her parents, Felix (Carlos Mencia) and Sunset (Maria Canals-Barrera) that she is a sweet and upstanding girl when she is actually snobbish, arrogant, and selfish.

Other supporting characters include Oscar's older brother Bobby Proud (Cedric the Entertainer), an extremely wealthy Black businessman named Wizard Kelly (Aries Spears), Felix's father Papi (Alvaro Gutierrez) who Suga Mama has a crush on, the doctor for the Proud family named Dr. Payne (Kevin Michael Richardson), and the 9-year-old neighbor of the Proud family, Peabo (Cree Summer). There's also the flamboyant gender non-conforming friend of Penny named Michael Collins (EJ Johnson) and former bullies Nubia, Olei, and Gina, who are named the Gross Sisters (voiced by Raquel Lee) who become interested in hip hop, start a rap group, and perform.

New characters in this revival series include Penny's boyfriend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Brown (Asante Blackk), and the Leibowitz-Jenkins family. The latter is headed by Randall (Billy Porter) and Barry (Zachary Quinto). They have two children, a 14-year-old adopted girl named Maya Leibowitz-Jenkins (voiced by Keke Palmer) and her twin brother, Francis “KG” Leibowitz-Jenkins ("A Boogie” Dubose), who is adjusting to life in Smithville.

Apart from the new characters, there is one departure: Sticky Webb. Voiced by Orlando Brown in the original series, he only appears in the first episode when he moved to Japan where his father is getting a new job. Although some fans may have been disappointed in the fact that The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder destroys the dynamic between Dijonay and Sticky, as she continually had a crush on him, it allows for the new characters, Kareem, Randall, Barry, Maya, and KG to become more integrated into the story. In fact, KG becomes a rebound of sorts for Dijonay, who treats him like she treated Sticky.

The opening song of the series is very similar to the original, except this theme song is sung by Joyce Wrice rather than Solange Knowles and Destiny's Child in The Proud Family. This has, understandably, irked some fans, but has also, sadly, led the creators of this series to receive death threats, serving yet another example of people taking things too far. While the new song is not my favorite opening, for an animated series it is definitely catchy and hearkens back to the original.

Compared to the original series, the animation is smoother and cleaner, the characters are more expressive, and the episodes are longer. While episodes in The Proud Family were 20-22 minutes long, in this series, they range from 27 to 30 minutes. This is in part because the series is airing exclusively on Disney+ and doesn't need to accommodate commercials.

Even so, this revival series has some of the same dynamics as the original. Oscar is what makes the series an animated sitcom. Often disciplined by his mother, Suga Mama, his head is shown flying into outer space, thrown into the air comedically, while acting immature, childish, and even hyperactive. Through it all, he is still a well-meaning father to Penny, running a business that creates revolting snacks but somehow manages to stay in business despite it all.

The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder features some of the same themes as the original. Wizard Kelly is still a business mogul who runs for mayor, Bobby is still his ebullient self, even tricking out Trudy's pet ambulance, and Trudy tells Oscar to pull his weight.

On the other hand, Oscar is afraid to see Penny grow up and tries to hold her back, but later listens and realizes that he should give her some independence. Even so, he happens to embarrass her when he tries to recruit Kareem for his basketball team in an attempt to get back at Wizard Kelly. He can be sweet and helpful at other times, telling Penny about Prince and showing her how to play a vinyl disk. In another episode, he is shown as being a gullible fool as he buys a toxic waste dump as the future home of his Snackland amusement park, something which his family ridicules him for, leaving him to sink into the toxic sludge.

In a hint at the fact that the series is a revival, Penny and her friends magically become teenagers overnight. Additionally, scenes from the original series are used when characters have flashbacks to past events, an ingenious way to tie the two series together.

In this series, Penny stays righteous and thinks that everyone is her friend, but admits that Maya is right when she calls her "superficial." Both later become better friends by the show's fourth episode. Unfortunately, it appears that this series is either disregarding or putting aside the wild adventure-comedy film, The Proud Family Movie, with a plot that seems like an episode of Kim Possible or even Totally Spies! which capped the original run of The Proud Family, as Penny is 16-years-old in the series.

In what I expect will be a 10 or 12 episode order, this revival series has a chance to buck what can be described as colorist themes in the original series. Some argued that Dijonay's character in that series indicated that even when animated, the "dark skin girl is designated as the ghetto one" while others went as far as to call for the cancellation of the revival series for promoting racist and colorist caricatures of Black women who have darker skin, mainly citing Dijonay as the biggest exemplar of this issue. This revival series seems to hint that this will be countered. Already, Dijonay's yellow hair was revealed as a wig, and Maya, who has skin as dark as Dijonay, is a strong, passionate girl who stands up for causes. Even so, the blue-black-skinned Gross Sisters are still shown as "ashy" and have a lot of attitude.

There are other hints that this revival series will be different. Farquhar has stated that the show will portray more than a singular "view of Blackness or a Black family" while Smith said it is blazing a path in animation, with elements of the Western, sci-fi, and horror genres. I am somewhat confident that this series will address this more and in a positive way, in a break from the past, even if those on online forums for Black women, like Lipstick Alley, are more skeptical of the series. In that way, the series can more of a "portal for viewers to get an idea of what the world is like or what the world thinks of them," as one critic of the original series wrote in 2018.

Latine characters have a key role in this show, similar to other Disney series like Kim Possible, The Owl House, and the original series. LaCienega is part of an Afro-Latine family, which is still rare in television series, animated and not. Even so, there is the continuing joke that Suga Mama doesn't understand what Papi is saying as he is speaking Spanish. Hopefully, in future episodes, she learns Spanish and this tired joke is not used anymore, so they can have a more genuine relationship.

Similar to how the original series focused on issues such as bullying, cheerleading, self-worth, and friendship, this series has episodes about the inhumanity of zoos, complete with a panda bear named Shuggie (voiced by CeeLo Green) who declares he is a "player" who doesn't want to be saved, the insidious nature of social media influencers who have the ability to "cancel" people, playing basketball, standing up for what you believe in, and remaining true to yourself.

The episode about influencers is altogether different than the cringe-worthy commentary on so-called "cancel culture," really "consequence culture" in an episode of the should-be-forgotten series, The Freak Brothers. The series instead shows Penny denouncing influencers like Makeup Boy (voiced by Bretman Rock) as posers and those who follow them as "sad."

Her rise to power somewhat echoes the episode in the original series, "A Star Is Scorned," where she becomes a star and isolates her friends for fame, believing it is all about her. In the episode in this series, she becomes an influencer, receiving endorsements and popularity. In the process, she "cancels" Makeup Boy after he disses her, and she realizes she can make people buy stuff they can't afford, while people are afraid of getting cancelled by her.

Penny even ends up cancelling LaCienega, shocking her, is able to get rid of everyone in the school, and send away Suga Mama to boot camp. She is later brought down thanks to Maya who hatches a plan which exposes her after Oscar got money from Wizard Kelly, with her friends turning on her, as she loses followers and her influence almost in the blink of an eye.

As she walks away from school in shame, Makeup Boy, whose real name is Sebastian Boyle, is later grateful to her as he was seduced by the power and influence. The lesson at the end seems to be that your family is more important than your friends and will stand by you, as her mom and grandmother forgive Penny after she apologizes. It was somewhat strange to me that Penny's friends threw her away like a used dishrag and never apologized to her for making her like a pariah.

Barry, Randall, and Michael, the three LGBTQ characters who have appeared in the series so far

There is one major change from the original series in The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder: the casual queerness. Not only is Michael now openly gender-conforming and gay, but KG and Maya have two gay dads, Randall and Barry. It's even possible there could be an enemies-to-lovers situation between Penny and Maya, and hopefully, there are "different portrayals of Blackness" and a depiction of the "vast spectrum of Blackness" while the show further explores sexuality and gender with the addition of new character, as Nic of Autostraddle pointed out.

The most recent episode, "Father Figures" focuses on this more than any episode that has aired so far. Maya and KG are teased by those at school after Dijonay tweets that Maya and KG have two dads, and there is an undercurrent of homophobia in the school. Penny rallies to their defense, attempting to joke about broken families, offending Maya, and leading KG to criticize them for making a joke about something that they know nothing about.

Penny later faces homophobia from her dad, who can't explain why she can't hang out around Maya and KG, later claiming he trying to "protect" her, like all the other dads in the neighborhood. despite Trudy, Puff, and Suga Mama strongly disagreeing with him. This comes to a head when he goes to a bank to get a loan and Randall, one of Maya's dads, is a bank manager at Wizard Kelly Bank, and puts the loan away after Oscar reacts with shock to see Randall and Barry kissing.

Luckily, Penny is able to break through this homophobia by standing up to the Gross Sisters, defending Maya, giving a rambling speech. In the end, they all meet at the Leibowitz-Jenkins house, with Oscar apologizing to Randall for being homophobic and getting the loan after all. Everyone seems to come to their unintentional housewarming party, dancing to the disco music, and Oscar is overcome with emotion, beginning to see more of the world through Penny's eyes.

My guess is that there will be more LGBTQ characters in the future, possibly even some among the show's main cast. After all, the series will feature, in future episodes, guest stars like Lizzo, Jaden Smith (as college Myron), Lena Waithe (as college Maya), Al Roker, Lamorne Morris, Brenda Song (as Vanessa Vue), according to the official Disney+ Twitter account. Waithe was previously in a relationship with Alana Mayo, an executive producer of gen:LOCK. Other queer guest stars include Lil Nas X and Jane Lynch according to Out magazine.

Further LGBTQ characters have been hinted at by Farquhar who stated that a lot changed since the original show, saying that this revival series will take on more topical issues rather than having LGBTQ characters referred to in "coded language." He also confirmed that Michael was gay in the original series but that they had to be underhanded in the way this is talked about. Smith added that the show has more than "just one gay person... representing the entire LGBTQ+ spectrum."

The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder has the promise of breaking down barriers through its inclusion of multicultural characters and families, especially those which are part of the LGBTQ, Latine, and Black communities. I fully believe it will address racial issues and other topics, like the original series. No matter how many episodes are remaining until its first season comes to an end, the series will undoubtedly have plotlines that focus on the pull between family togetherness and family conflict, protesting, rumors, popularity, dating, and jealousy.

It is likely there will be episodes on gender equality, women's rights, medicine, vaccines, and animal exploitation, like in the original series. At the same time, it is not known whether there will be a focus on veterinary services, pet care, file sharing, music downloading, homelessness, Black history, Black wealth, or show business, all of which were covered in the original series as well.

Those working on The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder are a talented group of people. Latoya Raveneau, who directed a few episodes, was the showrunner of the animated short series Rise Up, Sing Out, and a storyboarder for Final Space. Tara N. Whitaker, who directed one episode, previously was a prop designer for series such as Kid Cosmic, Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure, The Owl House, and Wonder Over Yonder, and character designer for Middle School Moguls. The series art director, Eastwood Wong, had worked on animated series like Carmen Sandiego, Star vs. the Forces of Evil, and Steven Universe.

Other staff members are new to the animation industry, like show writers Wolf-Rudiger Bloss, Ashley Soto Paniagua, Leo J. Lawrence, and KyLee Evans. Lawrence and Evans previously worked on live-action series before this one, while Paniagua had written for Vida and Fast & Furious Spy Racers. Some worked on the original series, like writer Doreen Spicer, and co-executive producer, Calvin Brown Jr. Breana Williams, the production coordinator, previously worked on Mira: Royal Detective and is currently working on an indie animated series LimeLight as a storyboard revisionist. There are various other talented storyboarders and other employees working on the show as well.

Although there are talented individuals working on the show, it remains to be seen how much Disney can further social equality. The studio's linked with a lot of prejudice in the past and many productions continue to draw "criticism regarding diversity, both onscreen and behind the scenes. After all, Disney CEO Bob Chapek put out a weak statement before the passage of "Don't Say Gay" bill in Florida which bans the teaching of LGBTQ topics, says schools should not encourage sexual orientation or gender identity to be discussed, and allows parents to sue schools for having such discussions. Chapek later scrambled to act like he cared, after the law had already passed through both houses of the Florida legislature and the Florida governor, who has been a big proponent of the bill, falsely claimed it wouldn't harm LGBTQ people.

Putting aside the problematic nature of Disney for a second, and focusing on the show, I can say with full confidence that I recommend The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder. Although I wasn't completely clicking or vibing with the show at first, by the fourth episode it has really pulled me in.

The series is currently streaming on Disney+. Episode 5 will debut on the Wednesday of this week, March 16, 2022.

And while you are at it, you can get The Proud Family Movie from your local library, buy a DVD of the original series and film on Amazon or elsewhere, or simply stream both offerings on the Disney+ streaming service.

Electro Electronics Store WooCommerce Theme

If you want your ecommerce shop to stand out from all of the cookie cutter designs out there, I'd definitely recommended the Electro WooCommerce Theme. Electro is a clean, modern, user friendly, responsive and highly customizable Wordpress Theme, built for especially for your WooCommerce electronics store.

It supports all features of WooCommerce. Multi-vendor management is not a default feature of WooCommerce. However there are WooCommerce extensions like Dokan, WC Vendors, WCFM Marketplace and Multi Vendor Marketplace by Webkul that allow you to extend WooCommerce into a multi-vendor platform. Electro supports the above mentioned plugins. So, yes you can build a multi-vendor website using Electro if you are familiar with the above plugins.

Having said that if there are any issues with Dokan or WC Vendors apart from UI issues, we cannot help fix it. This is because while the theme is compatible with these plugins, they are essentially third-party plugins and are not covered by our support policy. However if there is any UI issues like a broken form while using these plugins, we will help you fix it.

Overall one of the best woocommerce themes I've seen on here.
