Wow, I honestly didn't expect them to do this...

Remember that “controversial” cartoon from Australia that everyone was amused at the concept of last year? If not, I’ll remind you of it:
 
It’s called SheZow, and it’s about a crossdressing superhero.
 
Guess what’s in The Hub’s mid-2013 lineup?
 
I can see the future of this, ladies and gentlemen, and it’s quite entertaining.

wait a rebot of sabrina the animated series? Also, we get crossdressing as an important setting in a cartoon before homosexuality.

@Itsthinking  
Remember Cyber Six? That cartoon reminds me of that.

@DaisyHead  
Totally missed that Sabrina thing. Might be cool.
 
Oh, and SheZow’s been passed around to a bunch of different networks for years. Originally the creator intended it as a show for adults, the pilot was shown on some G4 show where a garbageman found the ring in a dumpster.

Shadman already got a hold of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7crawygGtw

Oh boy, anybody else smell imminent social drama with millions of soccer moms becoming upset about this? I smell imminent “news” stories about “societal decline” and “derm darn tvs are corrupting r children”.  

Y’know, while a boy becoming a girl in a transformation is new, the opposite isn’t.  
I think in Bakugan there was a girl (Alice I think) that had a split personality as a villain that was a boy.
 
Just something to ponder about.

That’s probably a safer prediction than “the sun will rise tomorrow morning”.

Are you fucking serious?, lol, the drama shall be hilarious. Yet, I never in my life expected someone to make a western cartoon with cross-dressing as a relevant part, guess homosexuality as a central theme will inevitably follow in the far future (damn it FiM, why did you came out in this era and not later XD )

I am so watching this.

I’d stand with my belief of watching at least one episode of a show…. but this is just ridiculous.

@Elric of Melnipony  
The funny things is if anything the millions of soccer moms who get outraged at anything and intentionally watch things to get offended actually harm their point if anything.  
Soccer moms get outraged –> Everybody else goes “hmm what are they upset about? Let’s watch it to find out” –> And then the show or which not viewership skyrockets

That is so ridiculously stupid, that it almost becomes glorious. I’ll have to give that a glance.

What’s even funnier is that the creator of the show is excited to hear soccer moms get upset about it. He also said, “watch out MLP,” but he was joking. Even he acknowledged that the show was made on a shoestring budget.
 
Oh, and someone linked him that Shadaman video. He said “never say never” to something similar in the actual show.

@Itsthinking
 
You mean there will be a mixture of soccer moms and a “trolling” creator? (of sorts)
 

I can’t wait until a conservative talk show host gets wind of this show.

The international drama storm watch has just issued a projected shitstorm for summer with the airing of shezow. We issue this warning in that make sure your forums are braced for cries of “think of the children” posts from soccer moms and to make sure you remain above the ensuing drama and remain at most interaction with the upset individuals at the level of mocking them for being butthurt. Make sure to not actually take part of the slapfights or be washed away in the riptide of millions of outraged internet users. If you must interact with drama we urge you to remain at most posting jokes, burns and funny caption images instead of serious posting for your own safety.
 
We urge you to also not wakeboard on top of the drama since the drama isn’t a wave, so much as a turbulent unintelligent force that gets angry at anything.
 

 
As for a serious post. I think the show is going to be bad quality, but the amount of people watching it just to give themselves justification to feel angry is going to send the views through the roof. Fifty dollars on the major news media having a news blitz about this.

Tumblr is either gonna have an intense social justice wank to this show or they’ll nuke it for having the main character be a stereotypical depiction of a female.

I think that there was a mix of both. Some people liked that it was exploring a new concept, but didn’t like that her powers were slapping and screaming.
 
I’m honestly not sure what the creator is going for with this one. He’s definitely not making fun of all female superheros. I think he’s making fun of crappy female superheros obviously made by men by taking one that is incredibly sexist to begin with and showing how ridiculous and inapplicable to anything else they are.
