Aww shit, here we go again.

The whole point of Adora's arc is rejecting her destiny and expectations of the crown, instead doing what makes herself happy(gay with the cat). The royalty set up to control the planet's magic is the origin of a lot of their problems, and rejecting the sanctity of those hierarchical institutions is kinda a thing they had to do. However, it has princesses fighting a colonial enemy rather than a pure working class organization, so it's basically saying that monarchy is based!

I'm so fucking sorry that a show based on a property created to sell toys isn't ideologically perfect. I'm so fucking sorry a show that couldn't explicitly put the main characters in a relationship until the last episode couldn't wave a communist flag its entire runtime. Let's ignore the fact that if it pushed the envelope any harder, it probably would've been taken away from the creators.

Out of all the shows you listed, 2 got cancelled, 1 had the writers fired, and only Steven Universe actually came out mostly intact. In order for any queer shows to get made, they need to make huge compromises with the oligarchs, and plenty of other shows don't make it. Some become the opposite of what they started off as, many get cancelled, and far more never get made at all. It's a painful fact that major IPs are legally made by nonhuman entities, and that every person who actually crafts those stories are only employees who helped the company in creation.

So if you actually hate Mattel and want to enjoy one of the gayest shows that actually got finished, go pirate She-Ra. Afterall, piracy is the only way to experience it at this point.

Average She-Ra discourse

I'm not trying to defend monarchy in general, but the specific monarchical system on that planet has much better material conditions for the proletariat than the horde. Trying to fight the horde and the monarchy at the same time would just lead to the horde winning. Toleration of the monarchy was a necessary evil. This reflects real life where collaborating with liberals is often needed to fight fascism.

After the show ended though adora should have gotten to work ending the monarchy though.
