no it's not "forced diversity", you just hate seeing minority leads.
I really didn't want to comment on this, but as someone who has recently rediscovered monster high and loves the new show, I've seen so much criticism that isn't exactly...constructive?
I've seen a lot of people say that making Frankie non-binary is 'forced', 'lazy' and 'uninspired', when that is just simply not true?? Let's unpack their character for a moment. They are made of a ton of different dead body parts, some male and some female. If you were to use the 'biology excuse' it wouldn't even make sense in this context -- they literally have male and female organs!! Also alot of nonbinary people feel as though they have lots of parts to themselves,, what better way to portray that than through a monster character struggling with the same thing? It's literally such a cool allegory!! Creators have been using magic/fantasy to describe/symbolise real world issues and feelings for ages,, why is it such a big deal creators do this for more marginalised people. [also,, the orginal Frankenstein creature was heavily queer coded in the first place so its a sweet easter egg).
I also see people say,, 'oh why couldn't they just have made a new character be non-binary instead of changing the pronouns of a former one'. I hate this argument so much because it sounds like it's in good faith, but really what they're trying to say is "stay away from my white cishet characters and go make one of the irrelevant side characters queer or or just make a whole new show starring them that I have no interest in watching'. Just admit you don't want to see queer characters as leads.
I also think that sometimes cishet ppl (or non-marginalised ppl in general but i've mostly been seeing an attack on the queer characters hence the example) forget that we also grew up watching monster high?? and related to the characters?? And we would be so excited if we saw our favourite characters with similar traits to us?? Like sheesh,, cishet ppl have so much representation like let us have this pls 😭 😭
Actually speaking of representation in Monster High, g1 was already pretty diverse and inclusive, and its nice to see g3 follow in its legacy and become even more inclusive as times change! Like, they really said 'fuck you' to all the conservatives and included a drag queen character, a non-binary main character, autistic side character and so many more!! It makes me so happy to see and its probably why its one of my comfort show rn amidst the rise of the anti-lgbt rhetoric, especially concerning children's media.
So respectfully, to all those people claiming that the new monster high is "forced diversity" --- fuck you xxx

Okay, but why is writing teenage Matt and Shiro being besties so fun? It’s just Matt being chaotic and Shiro indulging it cause he thinks it’s funny. Absolute icons the both of them.

ok so like a live action voltron legendary defender remake would be a monumentally bad idea and i have literally no idea who would even be cast for the characters in a hypothetical except the only person i can see playing pidge is mckenna grace

Kotetsu: So, Bunny is late today. Anyone wanna bet why?
Ryan: I say he slipped through the subway grate and is having terrible sex with the mole man.
Lara: I don't know about that... I think either his alarm clock didn't go off, or he's in line at the bank.
Ivan: Take this more seriously! Barnaby was clearly taken in his sleep!
Nathan: I bet he tucked himself into the bed too tightly and got stuck.
Karina: Maybe he fell into another dimension where he's more interesting...?
*Barnaby arrives*
Barnaby: Sorry I'm late - there was a problem at the bank.
Lara, clapping her hands in excitement: HOT DAMN!

You've heard of mansplaining, now get ready for: dadsplaining!
Example: you're filling out paperwork and your dad sits next to you and tells you the answers to questions like: what is your name and last name (he also helps you spell it), when is your birthday, when did you graduate high scool etc.

i watched legacies before i watched either the originals or tvd and my impression was that this redhead witch is a complete orphan with literally no one which is absurd because i watched t.o and was like "oh she has a giant extended family actually??" so i guess they basically abandoned always and forever lol :/

HE COULD NEVER LOVE YOU by HENRY MORRIS
he could never love you // but baby I, baby I can // would you let me hold you // with blood on my, blood on my hands?
and I would know all about ghosts // ‘cause I buried his body // and found my way home // you’re the first to know
did it out of love for ya // nothing ever grows if you never wanna face the truth // hang my head, tears on my boots

SINNERS by BARNS COURTNEY
Yeaaah, I must be good for something // Yeaaah, yeaah, yeah // Oh sinners come down, come gather 'round // Oh sinners come down, yeah-eh-eh //
Dancing on cold feet // Marching on cobble streets // Oh sinners come down, yeah-eh-eh // Yeaaah, I must be good for something // Yeaaah, yeaaah, yeah
Down and out, and out of luck // We're spinning, but the needle 's stuck // Let's go have some fun before // They go and put us in the ground
Lions sit in solemn lines // Drinking gin and dropping lines // Wasting beats in this heart of mine // Until the morning comes around

thesis statement: threshold (2005) is a good show that should have gotten 73298493 more seasons purely bc of that blonde guy in it (sources: invalid/404/page not found)
