So this is happening.
An all-female writing staff working on the reboot of "She-Ra: Princess of Power" updated the characters to include women of color, women of all different shapes and sizes, and women who love other women.https://t.co/cvehMmUNC0

From NPR:
What’s important now is that She-Ra and the Princesses of Power — as well as shows like Steven Universe and Craig of the Creek — can take these same LGBTQ stories and put them out in the open, showing kids that being queer is an option.
Mey Rude is a journalist and a consultant for writing transgender characters in entertainment. She worked with Stevenson, in fact, on the coming-out story of a trans character in the comic series Lumberjanes.
“It’s like ‘Oh, I can be this,’ ” Rude says. “I didn’t know before that I could act this way — that I could love this way, that I could dress this way — and have a loving family and friends. Shows like She-Ra show you that you can be.”
Yeah, it’s important to show kids.
Or something.

This looks like something that's gonna be in the $1 DVD bin that everyone moves aside in favor of the 4-pack of forgotten Rob Schneider comedies.

Alternative headline: "She-Ra reboot poised to be a complete failure, as it appeals to the interests of approximately 1.3% of the global population, and that's being overly generous."

Okay but the only thing that's going to keep the show alive is this… is the story any good?
The emphasis being on everything other than the story doesn't bode well.

Leave She-Ra ALONE!
