Part 2/10:
The controversy began when an independent artist on Twitter shared fan art featuring original She-Ra characters from the 1980s—a nostalgic revival of the classic Princess of Power series. This artist's intent was to celebrate the legacy of the original show via reinterpretations, not the recent reboot that's been the focus of much modern reinterpretation.
However, social media reactions quickly turned hostile. Critics accused her of "whitewashing" or "changing" the characters, despite her repeatedly emphasizing she was drawing faithful homage to the iconic 1980s designs. Some fans went further, expressing concern or even wishing harm upon her—an alarming and inexcusable escalation of fandom toxicity.
