You hate it cause you're an alt-right Breitbart reading racist.
That's one of the main excuses going around.
This is a load of crap!
I have to admit that SOME of the dislike may be rooted in racism for some people. Others (myself included) want to preserve the characters as close as possible to the source Material.
Now dismissing an opposing view by demonizing the opponent instead of the argument is a shitty tactic.
Also, they are a bunch of hypocrites. They claim that Bow's whiteness is not inherent to the character, so they cam switch it around. Nettossa whose blackness is NOT inherent to the character CANNOT BE RACE SWAPPED.
All animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others?
The stance of non racist people who are being accused of racism is: don't remove to include... ADD. IF you have a "mandate from above" to play the race swap, then ALL ARE FAIR GAME.
White, "Asian", "Native American", or any non-black ethnicity can be applied to Nettossa if Bow, Frosta, etc. Can be hit by the pseudodiversity brush.
Diversity is not just a visual thing: what's the point of LOOKING diverse if the characters have a hive mind?
True diversity needs characters of different perspectives, races, and cultures coming together DESPITE their differences and becoming better.
Too many characters is a BS excuse: Shadow Weaver, Madame Razz, Huntara, Sea Hawk, Gwneral Sundar... all of these weren't part of the toyline, but became important characters to the PoP Lore. They could have easily integrated "new" characters to the show and add diversity to the team without altering the main characters.
You hate it beccause you can't fap to her, you dirty pedophile!
This is another popular one to demonize people who dislike the new redesigns.
First of all, THIS IS THE INTERNET, and there is a saying on the internet: "If it exist, there is porn of it." Loli She-Ra won't stop the fappers. There is Porn of The Brave Little Toaster and such. If people fap to the Brave Little Toaster, 12 year old boyish She-Ra won't be spared...
I get that there is a "mandate from above"... starting to sound like those Mattel execs that had it against guru and were loyal readers of the House of Rants. But back on track, the issue many are having is that she looks manly... in some official material. You CAN MAKE HER LOOK FEMININE WITHOUT "SEXING HER UP". Various pieces of fan art made after the official announcement show that a She-Ra 2018 can be feminine, look like a young teen and not be "sexy" while retaining femininity.
Her cuirass hides her feminine figure (more noticeable in Adora).
Body proportions are a tool to identify a character as male or female. Breasts and wider hips are the easiest.
Slightly bigger lips, or painted lips are a quick and easy identifier. Eyelashes help as well.
As you can see on this pic, I only drew the hair, sword, and 200X Adam outfit over She-Ra 2018. No tweaks to the body. "As cliched as they may be, gender identifiers, exist for a reason." *To me* they simply used BAD ART to promote the character. (Netflix's banner fixed it a bit.) Heck, I'm willing to bet that most of the R34 of this take of She-Ra will be crossdressing boys.
Some try to paint her outfit as more realistic than her 80s Tennis player outfit. I'm like: Magic sword grants her powers that theoretically allow her to go toe to toe against Pre-Crisis Superman. But let's pretend that the Utena knockoff jacket is a cuirass... you know what goes great with that? It's not a pseudo skirt frilly decoration... it's armored tassets. Also, you know what doesn't fit in this equation? Bike shorts. Full on pants would have been more acceptable if we were going for "realism".
You hate this, how can you call yourself a fan of POP?
Well, I grew up with the property, I played with the dolls as a kid, I bought all the POP figures from MOTUc and campaigned almost every sub rally... I'm probably a much bigger POP fan than half the people working on this... but this is not a dick measuring contest.
You can like a property but not ALL OF THE VERSIONS.
That crappy argument is ridiculous. (Hating the whole property because you don't like one iteration)
Do you like Transformers? Including the Bay movies? Even the time when they used penis-tongues to make out with little girls and get them naked inside them?

It's not for you, but for kids/new generation
It's called She-Ra... of course it's interested in me watching and bringing others because of my nostalgia. If it wasn't, it'd be called something else.
Ahhh, it feels good to get that of my chest, but now some final words. Hopefully, I won't have to talk about this until I watch it in November and either I eat crow or I will ruthlessly tear it a new one. Also, Mattel might make toys for 2019...
