catra vs chipped catra: a comparison
someone might have already done it before but i've been meaning to make a post with direct comparisons of the way chipped catra treated adora and the way catra generally treated adora.
because the whole point of a character being mind controlled is that they're completely out of character and does things that they normally wouldn't, right? and according to c//a shippers, catra would have never done any of this if it wasn't for prime.
so let's see how different her behaviour really was.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
physical violence? ✅
Tumblr media
using her claws on adora? ✅
Tumblr media Tumblr media
unwanted manipulative physical touch? ✅
Tumblr media
emotional manipulation and victim blaming? ✅
it's so funny that chipped catra only threatens to drop adora off a cliff while catra in her right mind actually does it. multiple times.
Tumblr media
even the position and framing in some of these scenes are eerily similar.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i just— how do you mess up a mind control trope so bad? it's one of the easiest ways to add some angst into a story but what's the point if you're mind controlling the villain and making them do the same atrocious things they do in their right mind?
in catra's own words,

“Fans”: I LOVE She-Ra!
The same “Fans”: Adora is so dumb and her forehead is big and stupid! She’s such a stupid useless lesbian! Haha!!! Drunk idiot! Fucking lesbian is dumb!
Honestly, I’m surprised I haven’t seen one of these people call her a ‘fugly r****ded d*ke’ or something yet. Because they’re that insensitive, mean, and usually the same type of people who say ableist and bigoted shit.
Honestly, the fact that Adora is canonically insecure about her appearance makes everyone making fun of her even worse, also they will call her dumb when she was drugged which is just...???? How is she dumb when she was drugged by her abusive catgirl sister girlfriend?! Also, Adora is actually very smart, everyone just ignores it because Catra always calls her dumb to the point where Adora internalizes it. She also is canonically insecure about her hair due to Catra so that's fun.

Catra stans: you want complex messed up characters but you couldn't handle Catra!
Also Catra stans: *woobify Catra, hate Glimmer, Double trouble, Shadow weaver, Scorpia and even Adora sometimes. Make characters like Adora or Glimmer look mean so that Catra looks less bad. Praise Catra for the evil things she does and are fine with her character only existing for a ship*

This is how the creators, Catra fans, and c//a fans view Catra
Tumblr media
It's not even hiding how wrong this is if they actually genuinely believe that Catra is right about everything, especially in the portal world where everything is only perfect to her, not Adora
Too many fans say, "oh, she's got an inferiority complex🥺" when she's so fucking selfish and self absorbed that she doesn't see anything wrong in her past war crimes (even during her redemption arc with the half-assed apologies she gives)
Somehow the people who support Catra the most make her out to be always right and Adora in the wrong for leaving her (WHICH SHE FUCKING DIDN'T), despite the fact that Catra canonically uses phrases like this to manipulate people like Adora
Whenever I see people talk about c//a, they always hyper foxus on Catra and her trauma (which is still valid, mind you), but when any of them mentions Adora, it's always one of the following:
Simping over her muscles in both her normal and She-Ra forms
Calling her a dumb, jock lesbian (she's been proven to actually be very smart)
Connecting everything unrelated to Catra to her love for Catra (even the connection between stars and Catra's freckles somehow???)
Claiming that Adora is abusive to Catra because of her She-Ra powers (Catra has literally been shown to be the abuser, not Adora)/left her alone to the big bad Horde people (Adora literally asked her personally to join her while Catra refused and willingly stayed in the Horde, despite knowing that the Horde was bad)
Claiming that Adora wasn't abused as much as Catra just because she was the golden child of the Horde (in reality, Adora being the golden child IS considered abuse, even if it's not similar to the scapegoat type of abuse Catra endured)
Catra is wrong for having to manipulate Adora into believing her and I'm sad that this wasn't picked up on during season five when she was supposed to be redeemed
Catra actively expects the princesses to forgive her for killing many innocent lives, including Glimmer's mom, and making Adora feel guilty for things outside of her control (seriously, she apologized to Catra for dying, despite the fact that she was doing it to protect the universe)
Catra was wrong and nothing was perfect about their relationship!

im gonna be honest. i love hero x villain ships, and i love angsty enemies to lovers. but i hate catradora
why?
because of that dumb fucking redemption. if it was just a funny lil "what if the hero and villain had a thing for each other" ship i would've loved it.
but trying to redeem an abuser, blame the victim and play the relationship off as healthy? fuck no, catra is to be held accountable for all of her actions and adora deserves better than her. catra is a horrible person and the show should treat her as such, instead of an "uwu gay disaster baby".
enemies to lovers shouldn't be a victim being emotionally scarred from an abuser, it should be enemies who are equal to each other. i would much rather ship catradora if catra hated everyone else just as much as she hates adora
if you ship catradora, fine. good for you, honestly. but don't hit me with the "its healthy" bs, or the "you don't know what enemies to lovers means". i do know what it means, i just don't like the abuser x victim sort

Ememy Vs. Abuser: Catradora
Disclaimer: Netflix doesn't allow me to take screenshots. I tried to find clips on Youtube but a lot of these are stolen. And an obvious tw for abuse.
Tumblr media
When Catradora antis bring up how Catra abused Adora in seasons 1-4, a lot of people seem to be confused. The go-to defense is the following:
"Catra and Adora were enemies, they were put against each other in many battles. The 'abuse' is just what you'd normally expect from enemies to lovers".
A complelling argument, for sure. How can you expect of Catra to not be violent with someone who was put against her? The answer to this question can be answered through a different question: Why is Catra the abuser? Why not Adora?
What's the difference between an enemy, and an abuser?
1# The aggressor is particularly cruel to their future partner.
Catra doesn't use her claws on real people very often. She mostly uses them on objects or robots (or Shadow Weather's mask).
Tumblr media
At times, it's clear tnat she would gain a lot from using her claws, but she doesn't.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
One might suggest that it's because she understands the full weight of using them. Whatever the case may be, there is a person she doesn't seem to have these reservations about: Adora.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
2# Their intreractions contain emotional abuse.
Catra often blames Adora for things that aren't her fault. She's cruel to Adora, deliberately and viciously hurts her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
She makes mean spirited remarks and belittles her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Additionally, Catra gaslit her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And wouldn't you know it, she takes pride in having control over Adora.
Tumblr media
3# There is no balance.
As we previously established, Catra has no problem being needlessly cruel to Adora. But is Catra in the same danger? It it at least mutually toxic?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's not. Adora can fight and defend herself, but won't do more than she needs. Meanwhile, Catra seem to relish in brutalizing her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Further more, moments that could be considered romantic build up in their own, "spicy" way, are positioned with Catra on top, where Adora has no choice but to comply, where she's stuck there.
Tumblr media
4# The aggressor got in the victim's head.
Adora has a guilt complex. That's not a controversial take. She takes too much responsibility and thinks everything is her fault. A lot of this stems from Shadow Weaver, but there's another source.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And Adora is very quick to internalize her cruel remarks.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In Conclusion:
Catra and Adora's relationship can and was abusive during the war. They share specific patterns of abusive relationships even at war zone. Catra hurting Adora isn't all war stuff, it's personal, it's abusive.

fans: omg adora is an abuser she's being emotionally controlling towards catra and disrespecting her boundaries!1!1

Luz and Adora aren’t even dumb…
But the people who continue making these comparisons are.
Seriously? Why do people compare Lumity and Catradora? I literally made a whole post on why Lumity was better and nothing like Catradora, but fuck it I'm gonna do it again with a quick list.
Luz and Amity are 14, Catra and Adora are 17-20 throughout the series.
Catra is a literal war criminal, Amity was just a mean girl
Amity actually changed, Catra stayed the same
Amity doesn't manipulate, gaslight, or physical assault Luz
The development is actually there for Lumity? It just came outta nowhere for Catradora

Stans are so funny. According to them, Shadow Weaver is an incredibly skilled and intelligent manipulator and poor Catra (who is also incredibly intelligent) was manipulated by this evil woman.
She's so awful... until she manipulates Glimmer that is. She's so "obviously" evil, and Glimmer is so stupid and selfish for being easily manipulated when she's in a vulnerable position after losing her mother and being forced to grapple with that grief (and her trauma) while fighting in a war and unexpectedly becoming queen.
What a terrible person Glimmer is, she's so evil for working with the enemy and Adora's abuser (remember Adora's abuse only matters when tearing down Glimmer!) even though Catra works alongside a literal genocidal maniac.
Don't forget that Glimmer is abusive to Adora for yelling at her and arguing with her! Catra is Adora's true friend and partner, she only aids in genocide and regularly assaults and tortures Adora because she's traumatised!
