She-Ra and the Princesses of Power Wiki

Okay, so, some people have been discussing Catradora (specifically Catra) and if it's a toxic relationship, so I thought I'd share what I think.

I've never really been in to Catradora, as my main ship is Entrapdak, but I do find it pretty cute. However, I think it's a bit toxic. If Catradora was set in season 1-4, it would be 100% frowned upon and hated, because it would've been veeeery toxic. So what changed in season 5? Well, Catra learned her lesson. There, I said it. She realized what she was doing was horrible and wrong, thanks to Horde Prime, but that really doesn't change anything or what she did. She was still horrible. Some people need to realize that. And just because Catradora is LGBTQ+ rep and "gay uwuwuwu my bbies" doesn't automatically make everything better. Let's pretend Catra was a guy. EVERYONE would hate that ship, because Catra (a boy in the scenario) had taken over the world, tried to kill Adora multiple times, and set off a portal that he KNEW would end the world, all for a girl that he happened to get heart-achy for. Now let's pretend Adora was the guy. Catra would be destroying the world for a man, which would probably be seen as representing girls as helpless.

Now, I really don't think Catra is bad anymore. While Catradora would be seen as toxic in season 1-4, it's really not that toxic anymore. It's not great, but it's an okay ship to me. I definitely don't think Catra will be taking over the world again.

Anyway, those are my thoughts! Thanks for reading :)
