Detailed Bias Analysis

Progressive
Primary
The series' central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology by critiquing authoritarianism and imperialism, championing diversity, inclusion, and LGBTQ+ representation, and emphasizing empathy and chosen family as solutions to oppression.
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power features extensive intentional diversity in its character casting, including significant representation of characters of color and LGBTQ+ identities. The narrative prominently centers themes of inclusivity, acceptance, and challenging oppressive systems, contrasting a diverse alliance with forces of conformity and control.
Secondary
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power offers a profoundly positive portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters and themes. It features a central queer romance between protagonists Adora and Catra, multiple established same-sex couples, and a non-binary character, all depicted with dignity, complexity, and acceptance. The show normalizes and celebrates diverse identities, framing queer love and relationships as integral and affirming.
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power features non-binary characters, such as Jewelstar and Double Trouble, whose identities are consistently affirmed. Their gender is presented as a natural aspect of their complex characters, never a source of conflict, mockery, or villainy. The show's overall approach is supportive and validating of diverse gender identities, demonstrating a positive net impact.
The character Light Hope, originally a male entity in the 1980s 'She-Ra: Princess of Power' series, is reimagined as a female AI in 'She-Ra and the Princesses of Power' (2018). This constitutes a gender swap for a significant character.
The 2018 animated series "She-Ra and the Princesses of Power" features several characters, including Glimmer, Bow, and Perfuma, who were depicted as white in the original 1985 series but are portrayed as different races in the reboot.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
