If it’s too long it will lead to a rise mental health issues, such as suicides and drug abuse.

Don’t get me wrong, I fully support social distancing, and wear a mask even if there’s a chance I might run into a person, even though I’m very low risk, since I don’t want to be a asymptomatic carrier for a high risk person, such as my late eighties/early nineties year old grandparents  (Which is why you should avoid visiting assisted living facilities and prisons).

The people who are refusing to wear masks are idiots, and everyone should take reasonable measures based on their risk, but a lockdown that goes on too long and telling people they can’t even go outside for walks (which is harmless as long as you keep your distance). Will end up killing people as well

Every other developed nation in the world managed to flatten the curve and are seeing a steady decline in cases EXCEPT for America. Why is that?

Well, the more people go outside WITHOUT wearing the masks and taking precautions, the LONGER the lockdown will be. I understand the economy is in the toilet right now, but forcing it open and putting people back to work before we have a vaccine is even MORE dangerous than the mental health problems that might arise from a prolonged lockdown.

I remember once my Aunt brought me 5 VHS tapes of The Slayers anime because she thought the fireball spell “dragon slave” sounded like “dragon ball” and got confused. She brought the tapes to my house at like 8pm. I had to go to bed soon because I had school the next day, and she was gonna stay overnight and leave with the tapes in the morning to return them... Meaning I only had the night to copy it.

Non-player characters could contract the disease but were asymptomatic to it and could spread it to others.[2] At least three of the game’s servers were affected. The difficulty in killing Hakkar may have limited the spread of the disease. Discussion forum posters described seeing hundreds of bodies lying in the streets of the towns and cities. Deaths in World of Warcraft are not permanent, as characters are resurrected shortly afterward.[3] However, dying in such a way is disadvantageous to the player’s character and incurs inconvenience.[4]

During the epidemic, normal gameplay was disrupted. Player responses varied but resembled real-world behaviors. Some characters with healing abilities volunteered their services, some lower-level characters who could not help would direct people away from infected areas, some characters would flee to uninfected areas, and some characters attempted to spread the disease to others.[2] Players in the game reacted to the disease as if there was real risk to their well-being.[5] Blizzard Entertainment attempted to institute a voluntary quarantine to stem the disease, but it failed, as some players didn’t take it seriously, while others took advantage of the pandemonium.[2] Despite certain security measures, players overcame them by giving the disease to summonable pets.[6] Blizzard was forced to fix the problem by instituting hard resets of the servers and applying quick fixes.[3]

I haven’t had this many homophobic responses for any of the other LGBTQA+ stuff I’ve posted before… so I wonder why THIS touched such a nerve? Thankfully all you lovely peeps here on tumblr have been very supportive and nice, but everywhere else I posted this (facebook + instagram) got a TON of homophobic responses and hate messages. I had a lot of work curating things and deleting/banning the negativity.

Again, not sure why THIS comic is the one that sparked such an uproar. Is it because they’re Animal Crossing characters? Is it because they’re male? Dunno what the issue is, but I did have fun trolling the homophobes nevertheless!

I’m not interested in watching a show where the characters randomly start having sex in the middle of a scene, nor am I into shows where there’s just randomly blood and guts everywhere.

But there are hardly any “popular” shows out there that don’t have those random elements in them.

They’re either overly erotic or overly bloody, or everyone does drugs and gets drunk and I’m just not into that?

When it comes to finding shows, you either get shows geared towards kids or shows rated TV-14 but have some of the most adult themes in them ever.

Now maybe it’s because I grew up pretty sheltered, but I feel like I can’t be the only one?

And I personally would rather watch shows like Miraculous, or Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, or Steven Universe, or Gravity Falls, or We Bare Bears or Teen Titans Go or a bajillion other “kids shows” because they make me happy, but for some reason people want to make you feel bad about that?

Like, yes, I like cartoons, but that’s because I don’t want to grow up that fast by watching all these other things? I just want to enjoy a nice simple kids show that reminds me of fun and joy and happiness and not death and murder and teenagers sneaking off and doing drugs and drinking alcohol.

It makes you feel like your interests are wrong and that there’s something wrong with you for liking those things and I don’t understand it?

Just let people like what they like and if you don’t agree then just let it go.

Or maybe try to understand why they like it instead of telling them they need to grow up and watch different shows.

while i did enjoy shera, i just never realized that  Noelle Stevenson is so full of herself. she brags about herself and having women writers. ect ect. how she and the staff talked badly about the original series and filmation 

it’s a damn shame really. a real damn shame noelle is such a hypocrite. she said the original show sexualized women. which isn’t true.  but like i said, i like the show. what i don’t like is her self-insert and her blunt mistreatment towards old fans. yes, it has new fans. but you just dont talk trash towards people who kept the franchise alive. i like the show. i just don’t like the people behind it. 

final thoughts. sorry if it might offend people.   

yeah… 

Noelle is proud of having a lot of women writers on a show while working in an industry that is still extremely gendered and stacked against women? If I were her, I’d be bragging too! That’s a big deal! She should be proud!

You understand that concept that you can like a show, while acknowledging it’s flaws… right? Please tell me you understand that if someone criticizes a show you like, that’s not a criticism of you as a person. I need to know you understand this really basic concept.

And gee… when a lot of old-school “fans” dunked on her designs and made memes about how She-Ra looked like a boy because they couldn’t see her tits… I’d be a little resentful too. The show she’s making isn’t FOR the old fans, it’s for NEW fans. Kids today.

seems like your bias about it. 

the founder made sure it was educational and teaches children. so it wasnt always action. both he-man and she-ra taught good morals. i mention i support the new show and anything related to the franchise. 

what i don’t like is someone whose stuck up and full of herself and from the beginning insults old fans. and honestly? she made it for herself. 

it’s fine you like the show. i do too. i just don’t like her attitude and her self centered pride. 

the new she-ra has it’s flaws. i won’t name them. but i excepted the show for what it is.  

for what it’s worth, she-ra the toyline was made by a crew of women who pushed to make the toy made.  

And what about THIS version of She-Ra? A lot of people working on it NOW are doing so just out of college. It gave THEM a job. It created a family of artists who all put a lot of love and care into their work, and launched a lot of people’s careers in the industry. Are they to be dismissed and chided because it’s not the She-Ra from the 80′s?

The new She-Ra has done something NO OTHER ANIMATED KIDS SHOW HAS EVER DONE BEFORE. She literally put her career on the line and fought day and night to get the representation she wanted to see on TV, and you have the audacity to criticize her as being “self centered pride?” Fuck you.

The new She-Ra is a LOVE LETTER to the original show, with tons of references and characters re-imagined and taking obscure plots that not even the most die-hard She-Ra lore fans keep track of and using them to expand the show into what it is. She has IMMENSE love for the original show. She wouldn’t have worked so hard on it if she didn’t.

But I guess because she didn’t bow down to your infinite wisdom and pander to YOU specifically 100% of the time, she’s a “disrespectful prideful hypocrite.”

fuck you, this one says. 

Disliking a person you know nothing about and are making value judgements about based on second hand information and hearsay is being an asshole.

I don’t want to contribute to that, but I do have an issue with the idea that because these shows have had representation, going forward all shows should have representation. Because sadly it’s not that easy. This isn’t like a game where you unlock abilities as you move forward. Behind the scenes there are a lot of factors we don’t see and despite a lot of progress that has been made, there’s still a lot of people in charge that contribute to stifling that progress.

And don’t take it from me, take it from someone who worked on She-Ra:

That’s Rae Geiger, storyboard artist and designer who worked on She-Ra: Princesses of Power.

I agree, I want there to be better representation going forward. And because of shows like Steven Universe, Korra, She-Ra and the like... progress HAS been made. But that progress came through those creators FIGHTING HARD to get what you see up on the screen. And just because we got something in those specific shows, doesn’t mean a big corporation like, say, Disney is gonna follow suite if there aren’t people working for them and fighting too. There’s still a lot of people in charge who think this sort of progress is dangerous to kids and who actively try to remove this content from shows. And going forward it’s not gonna be any different.

It CAN happen, but only because so many people behind the scenes FOUGHT for it. And since fighting for it might mean your job, or your career, I can understand why not everyone would include diversity as their top priority. We’re gonna get there, don’t you worry. It’s only a matter of time. But it’s not gonna be an easy fight and thinking that just because She-Ra did it, means other shows will be able to do it too is kinda a false equivalence.

So first of all, I agree with you! I am actually on board with everything that you said. BUT, if you read closely into what I said, I specifaclly wrote that it could only be one LGBTQA+ character, and it could be delivered subtlety (or not). If you read my post closely - it is clearly written there.

Also, I just want to add that I never said that such show would be awful, terrible, disgusting or unworthy. I have never even said that such a show would not be good! It could be an amazing show, BUT - it will be below standars for me. Pay attention closely, this was the only thing that I actually wrote. That a show without at least one LGBTQA+ (even very subtle) presentation would be below standars for me.

Because yes, LGBTQA+ presentation of any kind is a standard of mine, and a legitmate one as well. So yes, naturally, a cartoon show that does not even have that - is below that standard in my opinion. That is not anything bad, and it could still be an amazing show, but this is the one part that will truly dissapoint me and not reach one of my standarts, and I wouldn't want to be dishonest about that.

I’m sorry if my response came across as a bit, well... cross. It wasn’t meant to be. I’ve been dealing with a lot of people not understanding how shows are made and not understanding that a lot of stuff happens behind the scenes that we, as fans, are not privy to. As such I was tailoring my reply to that mindset.

I, too, want better and more representation in shows, but it can be a little naive to assume that just because She-Ra did this, the doors are wide open from now on. But I didn’t mean for my reply to suggest that you aren’t valid in wanting that representation from now on either. I just want people to have realistic expectations going forward, that’s all.
