What kills me the most about the chipped Catra scene is that her hair is chopped short and her hair is slicked back, still wet. That means Adora got there like RIGHT after it happened. The time it must have taken to actually put the chip in was short based off of how quick they could get people on Etheria chipped, but like they had to prep her by cutting her mane back which we never see before even as a kid. Like even Shadow never resorted to that and lorde knows she was a basket case. They did all this prep work just getting Catra more and more worked up as they went, cutting her hair, stripping her of all of her items and probably her clothes too if I had to guess, before finally chipping her and throwing her into the pool. But like if Adora had been there maybe an hour faster she could’ve saved her from it all and I just KNOW she thinks about that daily.
I just KNOW she cries and begs Catra to forgive her and Catra holds her and tells her she has nothing to forgive and it’s over now and Adora feels even more guilty for being held over Catra’s trauma, but Catra doesn’t care because it’s always been the two of them and she takes care of Adora now, just like Adora always took care of her.

I think if Adora read any of the stuff you guys write about Catra she would be so mad.
And might I just add, anti-Catradora fanfics which portray Adora as being terrified of Catra don't make any sense to me because it's pretty clear that, at the start of the show and when Catra joins the rebellion, Adora is in fact the MOST comfortable around her.

the thing about fantazy worlds where there is "no homophobia, no transphobia, and no racism!" is that there's still ableism, specifically anti-autistic ableism.
because queerphobia can be erased by normalization, but ableism can't be erased just by taking away the labels.
in fact, taking away labels like autism and neurodivergence only makes being neurodivergent even harder:
if there's no word for why someone's different, there's no way to help or understand them, which leads to othering and demonizing them.
this is why even in utopia based fantazy worlds like shera and the owl house, neurodivergent (and specifically autistic) characters (entrapta, alador blight) are still not understood as much as neurotypical characters. they still have to explain how they're different, and doing that without having the word "autism" be common knowledge just makes it more difficult.
the only real way to erase ableism is to create a world where neurodivergence and disability is understood, talked about, and accepted.
but no one's done that yet, so here we are.
