Id like to know what CEs gay community thinks about the accusations that this show is queer baiting. Basically the belief that Teela is being presented as gay, but Mattel isnt brave enough to let her officially come out. So in an attempt to rope in an LGBQT audience they actually trapped Teela in the closet and did the opposite of empowering. They might as well. Her being a mannish heterosexual isn't going to satisfy anybody. Teela and He-Man weren't really love interests. There's the slightest tease at the end of The Problem With Power, but that was it. If most men dislike the new look, and there are women who like the way she looks, they might as well go ahead and appeal to an audience for which the change will be better received. ...

I think the difference is that the 80s show wasnt directly trying to target the LGBTQ community. They were definitely trying to pull in an audience with the new Teela, but they botched it. They went the Xena/Gabrielle route long after the theyre secret lesbians troupe had become pass. They may not have been directly trying to pull in the lgbtq crowd in the 80's, but they DEFINITELY did. 80's He-Man is a de facto gay icon. --- This is my signature. You read my signature.

I'm still not sure what your complaint is here. Too gay? Not gay enough? Not speaking on behalf of that poster, but it's possible to be both. (In context, I mean.) She's from an older series and occupies a role traditionally held by the hero's love interest. Nobody in 1982 would have thought to ask, "Is Teela gay?" Fast-forward to the present and Teela is the "strong masculine lesbian" stereotype to a T. The only thing is the show won't commit to her being lesbian. As such, her position doesn't really suit anyone. Heterosexual men aren't likely to find her attractive or easy to identify with. Lesbians who may find her attractive or identifiable are potentially slighted because the producers won't admit she's one of them. So who does she appeal to? A niche market of masculine heterosexual women? The asexual gladiatrix fanbase? By all means, they should state that she's lesbian -- at least in this continuity. It's not going to rewrite history if He-Man and Teela kissed in a comic book. What matters is who she is to this continuity at this time. If she's gay, she's an iconic LGBTQ hero taking the lead. If she's presumed hetero, she's a character that women can't have and most men don't want. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It still blows my mind that "most men don't want" a woman like Teela, if she was straight. Looks wise, I mean.

Its funny how a He Man show for grown up adults can't commit to an openly gay Teela, whereas the new She Ra (which is decidedly aimed at kids) is more comfortable with homosexuality than most shows are with heterosexuality.

I might watch it eventually, but putting He-Man front and center of any promotional stuff definitely seems pretty misleading. Probably wouldn't get nearly as much hate if they were upfront about it.
