She-ra Is Good You Guys Are Just Cowards

i’m just i’m i- gay.

broke: you should stop singing or listening to the wellerman because it’s about the slave trade and suppression of native maori woke: wellerman is literally about working in indentured servitude for an oppressive company and isn’t a fucking endoresement of that do you even understand what work songs are, like, as a genre jesus give me strength bespoke: debating the moral purity of a song from the 19th century is fucking stupid

@karmenofchaos @banjedo I thought they were KIDDING about the discourse about Wellerman

you are correct! it is also important to note roughly 1/3 of the shore whalers involved here were themselves native maori and would have joined in with singing “soon mr. fuckface will come back and give me the tea he pays me in lieu of actual money. hopefully someday i can stop cutting out whale tongues and fuckin’ LEAVE! if we’re really lucky he’ll get killed by a whale!” no part of this song is remotely positive towards the weller brothers, let alone “glorifying violence against maori” or whatever the fuck. but the point remains that trying to cancel a song from the 1800s for referencing problematic themes is really really stupid because it’s acting like a) a colonialist-era work song referencing the colonialist system in which they worked is somehow news and b) that it would be at all reasonable to expect otherwise. “there’s stuff about the 1800s in my song from the 1800s!” oh word? on god?

If anyone does feel inspired to learn the historical background of the Weller’s whaling station at Ōtakou, and what life was like, here is a thesis about that very thing

adora saying “hey catra” as she stomps out the camera is one of the most underrated and HOT moments in the entire show and it lives in my head rent free every day that i am alive
