not everything is subjective. that's not something you get to interpret differently. that wasn't even the real catra… it was a corrupted version of her that knew things the real catra didn't (she knew that adora came from another world through a portal as a baby). but even if it was 100% catra and she still said those things, the problem here is that you freaks will throw around the word "abuse" for anything you don't consider perfectly unproblematic, which is trivializing actual abuse. real people are complex and nuanced, real people argue, real people fight, real people say bad things to each other and none of that automatically means they're "abusing" the other person. abuse isn't "someone being mean to someone else" or "enemies in a fantasy setting fighting", it specifically requires an uneven power dynamic. whether it's through money, housing, food, affection or something else, abusers use their power to control their victim and manipulate them into staying. objectively, there's only one abuser in spop and it's shadow weaver, who abused both adora (emotionally) and catra (physically and emotionally). objectively, c/a is not abusive. so no, i won't agree to disagree, because you're flat out wrong.

the word you're looking for is friends.

like you said, everything is simplified because it's a tv-y7 show. it's not a "flaw", it's how shows for little kids work.

anti tags exist for a reason, but really i don't care enough about this to argue lol

if op didn't want responses, they shouldn't have made a public post.

so you typed all that but you can't provide one single reason why it's abusive? this isn't about wasting time, it's about the fact that you know you're wrong and you can't even defend your own "opinion" so you spent the whole time deflecting.

spop is a cartoon for 7 year olds. if the little kids the show is made for get it, so can you. get better media literacy and have a nice day i guess lol

What I wish the She-Ra fandom was:

People who acknowledge that Catradora is abusive and probably shouldn't have been romanticized in a kids show, but still enjoy it as the dark romance turned wish fulfillment wlw it is.

People who believe that Adora, Catra, Glimmer, and Bow should all be living happy fulfilling lives full of queerness by the end of the show, but that Catra should be living that life away from the people she traumatized. 

These two groups are friends. 

What the She-Ra fandom is: 

People who are in complete denial that Catradora is abusive. 

People who think Catra is irredeemable and should die. 

These two groups hate each other. 

(If you are actually a member of the first two groups though please hit me up I would love to have an spop community like that!!!)

it's not obvious because it's not true.

they were not "partners", let's start there. they were enemies on opposite sides of a war.

if you think anything was "forgotten", you didn't watch the show. but we already knew that

i chose this one because op tagged it as catradora, a tag for people who like the ship

i'm not the one who made the original post, why would i do that lol but you're free to write a list of every reason why you think catra is an "abuser" and how she traumatized adora, bow and glimmer, and i promise you i'll debunk every single one with actual scenes from the show, so please go ahead 👍

every week someone with literal worms for brains and negative critical thinking skills will call the lesbians from the tv-y7 cartoon abusive but go silent instead of explaining why it's abusive and that's because they can't think for themselves and their whole opinion is based off lily orchard's shitty videos
