Bruh the reaction to the She-ra panel is seriously hurting my brain??? There seems to be so much misinformation going around and some of the responses I genuinely don't understand... #shera #sherapanel

1) "Hordak and Entrapta are some of the best disabled representation"
This was read from an email sent in from a fan, NOT a quote from the show's creators.

2) Racist joke about Bow's brothers
Watching the clip it is clearly meant as a pun and is in no way related to Bow's race/ethnicity. However, the setup could be worded a lot more constructively.

3) The use of the D-slur
The use of the d-slur is used by Eric Garneau who is the host of the panel and does not work on the TV show. He is shouting out a podcast run by some of the chat moderators, which again has nothing to do with the show.

4) Double Trouble and children
Noelle images DT as a people watcher, studying them to learn their personality/character. She says she imagined them watching Flutterina and learning her character and mannerisms.

I totally think that the panel could have handled it with more tact, but it seems pretty clear to me that most comments had nothing to do with the show or its creators, and the others were either misinterpreted or not well thought out, but not malicious in nature.
I really hope people can rationally look at these clips and form their own opinions, because I don't think there is any reason to stop loving She'ra because of today's panel.
A follow-up image from Noelle. This idea came from one of the storyboarders to have all of Bow's brothers have names rhyming with his, with their names relating to a characteristic or their profession. This does not excuse the implications but race is clearly not the premise
A really interesting video to check out about Diverse Media and people's responses/criticisms to it
