Oh, all right, Filmation He-Man was gay.

And She-Ra.
The daughter of one of the producers admits it.

First, the old post I'm apologizing for.

In "Superheroes Two: Part 11.5, All The Rest (Part 3.5)", way back in 2012, I said...

Spawned the film "He-Man and She-Ra: Secret Of The Sword".

And, inspired the live-action Dolph Lundgren vehicle.

Um, well, yes, I'm aware that the internet has taken to...well, gaying this thing up, what with the Youtube vids of Prince Adam singing "what's going on", and such.

It's the pink shirt, isn't it?
I dunno, I've heard tell that there was a colorblind guy at Filmation that no one had the heart to fire.
There's some credence to that, because lots of inexplicable things were turned pink and purple by this guy.
The Kzinti in animated Star Trek, Bat-Mite in the 70's animated Batman, it kept cropping up.

Adam's shirt was blue in the DC comics that thought him up. *Shrug*

Yeah, people will point out other things they thought were "gay", but all those things could be pointed out about other things that don't get the hipster treatment.
It really is just the pink shirt.
Well...the pink thing is a manufactured social convention from, yet again, the latter-half of the stupid 20th century anyway.
But, that's a dissection for another post, cuz, that gets into a whole thing.

Suffice it to say, grow up, folks.

Ehh...I was trying to be woke, but it's a cringe moment.

Anyhoo!!

Erika Scheimer, voice actress of Loo-Kee on She-Ra, and daughter of Lou Scheimer, had this to say.

"I was a strong female voice myself, and—guess what?—I happened to be gay. Does that make any difference about anything? I'll tell you one thing, it didn't matter, because Filmation was one of the gayest places in town."

So, there you go.

The anti-She-Ra homophobic bigots who slam on the new show for violating the purity and sanctity of the old show can go suck a tailpipe.

The shows were always sprinkled with gay subtexts, were created by LGBT people, and always had a gay fandom.

That's my bad for being too blind and naïve to see it.
I'm a dumbass, and I own it this time.

But, getting back to the show, that's awesome.
Stuff with warriors and swords very often gets co-opted by fascists.
Nazi bikers love their fucking Vikings and barbarians.
Thor, Conan, they steal all that shit.
So, Filmation getting ahold of this Conan knockoff toy, and gaying it up under everyone's nose during the fevered height of Ronald-fucking-Reagan, that's brilliant.
Especially since shows that advertise toys were all Reagan's doing.
To have that bite that vile poisonous old bigot in the ass is glorious.

Anyone who was subversive during that Trump-prequel of a fucking decade is a goddamned medal-worthy hero.
