She-ra & the Princesses of Power: Seasons 2&3

Posted on by

It’s bi-week! Time to talk about She-ra and the Princesses of Power. What with all the queer teen heroes, and their queer parents, and their bi-pride flag colored hologram mentors and freedom fighting unicorns. Mey Rude returns for her second dive into the Dreamworks animated series. Mey is a queer, trans and fat Latina living in LA where she works as a trans consultant and a culture and entertainment writer for Out.com. She loves nerds, Judy Hopps and talking about her feelings.

And joining for the first time is Samantha Puc!

Samantha Puc is an essayist and culture critic who frequently writes about LGBTQ and fat characters in fiction. She is the managing editor at The Beat, as well as the co-creator and editor-in-chief of Fatventure Mag, an outdoors zine for fat folx who are into being active, but not into toxic weight-loss culture. She lives in Montana with her partner and cats.

Discussed:

  • Everyone’s dreamgirl Huntara
  • The right kind of sympathetic villians
  • “Once Upon a Time in the Waste” is the best episode name ever
  • Hordak gets a Vader suit—and pathos
  • Looking queer, for the kids!

Listen to our coverage of She-ra season 1 (and on spotify, itunes etc etc)

And sign-up for the new she-ra fanzine, Fans for Etheria, that’s a fundraiser for RAICES.
