People Can’t Stop Clowning On The Incels Who Are Mad About Netflix’s New ‘She-Ra’ Cartoon

The first look at Netflix and Dreamworks cartoon She-Ra and the Princesses of Power has arrived. More artwork from the series was also tweeted out by showrunner Noelle Stevenson:

It’s a little surreal that someone I used to follow on Tumblr for the funny drawings has since won Eisner awards for Nimona and Lumberjanes and is running the She-Ra cartoon now. But even more surreal are the dudes who seem to think the creators of cartoons for little kids are obligated to provide grown men with spank bank material. Wait. What’s going on

We’re not going to link to a bunch of the complaints about She-Ra not being spank-worthy enough (because gross). But here’s one tweet that was especially popular:

You screwed up, @netflix. Back to the drawing board! pic.twitter.com/leWdiMlNu8

So yeah. A small group of dudes seem to be in a dither because a cartoon for children isn’t sexually arousing them. Normal. Healthy. Great hill to die on.

Not surprisingly, people on Twitter are having fun joking about those guys.

i wish i had the energy of folks who can see a picture of a cartoon woman & get so angry about how they don't want to fuck it that they hallucinate the end of western civilisation

The She-Ra announcement is great because

1) It looks really awesome

2) I get to see actual adult men complain that a drawing of a lady made for children isn't making their pee pee go hard like that's a valid criticism and something totally normal to admit on social media

can't believe all boobs everywhere disappeared after the new she-ra design was released. rip

— Jordan Gibson (@gibsoncomics) July 18, 2018

Gosh I hope this new She-Ra cartoon doesn't violate the purity of what it and the original He-Man were, mediocre toy commercials designed to manipulate children.

— Sean Thomason (@TheThomason) July 17, 2018

There are grown ass men in my mentions saying shit like “She-Ra is supposed to be the ideal woman” and like ignoring how creepy that is, does that mean He-Man is the ideal man. Y’all dudes gotta get bowl cuts and start dressing in fur lined boots ASAP I guess

"If She-Ra isn't sexy, how am I supposed to find something to fap to, here, on the internet"

— Larry Brunswick (@MistahKojak) July 18, 2018

I had no idea so many dudes were still crankin' it to She-Ra

I had no idea so many dudes were EVER crakin' it to She-Ra, tbh

Reboots of cartoons don't ruin your childhood. The fact that time exists ruined your childhood.

Am I doing the She-Ra fanart thing right #SheRa pic.twitter.com/0KZjkchZiJ

So here's my problem with the "She-Ra should be sexy!" thing. It's basically saying that young girls can't have anything for themselves. Media aimed at them must first appeal to grown men. And that's insidious.

The idea that a female character would be there for any other reason than sexual decoration GUTS these men https://t.co/OHeLfzd7vn

if you ever think you’re wasting your life just know that there are fully grown ass men making half hour video essays about how the reboot she-ra design doesn’t get their fucking nuts off

— BICONIC (@ejnoodles) July 17, 2018

Thinking of becoming one of those badass youtubers that alternate between making videos destroying feminism with cold hard logic and videos where I get steaming mad because some female character in Spongebob Squarepants doesn't have big enough tits

— PeterNorway (@classiclib3ral) July 17, 2018

Some people pointed out the obvious; the dudes mad about She-Ra now are probably the same dudes who would insult you for liking She-Ra in the ’80s.

wait not “funny” what’s the other thing

profoundly sad and idiotic

¯_(ツ)_/¯

— Graham Stark (@Graham_LRR) July 17, 2018

Ok… asshole dudes screeching about She-Ra

You never liked the original, stop claiming you did

You wouldn't stop teasing anyone who said they liked She-Ra or my Little Pony or Jem back in the day, so kindly shut the fuck up already

— Baronesa ⚧ (@Baronesa1980) July 17, 2018

What's fun is one of the ways you know they never even gave a shit about She-Ra before is they aren't complaining about the black character who was originally white like they normally would.

— Joe (@plaguedaemon) July 17, 2018

if you told boys in the 1980’s that she-ra was for guys, they would have laughed at you

if you tell men in 2018 that she-ra is for girls, they scream about it on the internet

— Heather Anne Campbell (@heathercampbell) July 18, 2018

This really is the darkest timeline.

— Cuteosphere (@kawaiiberpunk) July 16, 2018

But don’t give up hope, weirdos who want to crank it to children’s programming!

— Bea Kaye (@brainconfetti) July 17, 2018

Dear men complaining about She-Ra,

The animation industry has heard your complaints and we’re taking them into consideration. We promise the Care Bears reboot will have tons of boobs. You’re welcome.
