Because for these assclowns, being a member of the chosen class (LGBTABCDEFG, etc) and having the right politics trumps all other categories. They care about literally nothing else.
Even more recently WotC has managed to make Liliana, an evil selfish necromancer, a pretty sympathetic character as she comes to terms with Gideon (a He-Man expy) sacrificing himself to save her, and if the current state of their brand is writing better shit than you are, you need to take a long hard look in the mirror.
The only Terms she needs to come to is putting a barrel of a gun around her lips and pulling the trigger.
The like to dislike ratio for this video is very interesting.

A lot of this is a measure of awareness. Teela could actually work here if it wasn't completely clear that the writers are on her side and don't see her being a petulant cunt, if her arc was about her revealing that she knows she's not being fair to Adam, but having someone to be angry at made it seem easier to come to grips with the death of a friend, that after all this, she can't even take revenge because Skeletor was dead and all his forces had become pathetic shells of their formers selves.
This from the guy whose only claim to relevance these days is crying over new capeshit movies and shilling plastic paperweights.
Interesting thing he said more than once during this latest podcast:
And a Castle Grayskull with all of the details (like the hidden sally-port on the larger turret) that the original Mattel designers wanted to include but had to cut for budget reasons.
He also stands as a rebuke to the "cultural appropriation" canard.
It's slightly more complicated than that, to put it mildly. To begin with, what the Big E ultimately wanted for Mankind was to eradicate Chaos, and to this end set about trying to wipe out spirituality and religion under the rubric of "The Imperial Truth" as these things were (ostensibly) inadvertently contributing to the sustenance of the Chaos gods...except the "Imperial Truth" was a gigantic falsehood since it was explicitly based on denying the reality and existence of the Immaterium and its denizens (chaotic or otherwise) and Chaos is in any event fueled much more by negative and extreme emotions and the perversion of the natural order (see Slaanesh, birth of) than some random grandma quietly praying in the back of a church.
Thanks for the recommendation. Gonna have to check this out.
Sailor Moon transformations were inspired by Go Nagai's Cutey Honey and super sentai both of which started in the early 70ies and predating He-Man by almost a decade.
Speaking of Go Nagai, I should finish watching Devilman Crybaby.
I way over simplified it because I didn't want to write an entire book like you just did.And a Castle Grayskull with all of the details (like the hidden sally-port on the larger turret) that the original Mattel designers wanted to include but had to cut for budget reasons.
Just don't try to pick it up by the (decorative) "carrying handle."

Furthermore, even while this purge was going on, ever-increasing numbers of people within the Imperium were increasingly (albeit secretly) revering the Emperor as God...and they had evidence to back it up. When they invoked the name of the Emperor, something was answering them, something that sanctified objects of worship, granted miracles to the faithful, and sent daemons screaming back to the Warp with the merest touch. Something that the Chaos gods would fearfully refer to only as "The Anathema," and say no more of.

As the Horus Heresy raged on, particularly devout individuals belonging to this secret Church of the Emperor, the Lectitio Divinitatus, such as former war photographer Euphrati Keeler (pictured above, banishing a daemon aboard the Imperial battleship Vengeful Spirit), increasingly came to the fore, as their faith in the divinity of the Emperor began to visibly manifest itself in the form of miraculous powers that often proved crucial in ultimately turning the tide against the forces of Chaos, saving Holy Terra and ultimately the Imperium itself. Unsurprisingly, an above-ground and official Imperial Church quickly coalesced around these newly-arisen "Imperial Saints" soon after the war. Whether this whole chain of events was actually some incredibly complicated stratagem of the part of the Emperor, or something else entirely, none can say, so far as I'm aware.

I mean compared it to Sailor Moon, man i forgot how old Cutey Honey is
To be fair to that movie: THAT is how they should have portrayed Teela. Teela was a mega badass in the live action movie, with none of the cuntyness. Why is it that 80s movies knew how to develop strong female characters who weren't complete cunts (ie Ellen Ripley, Sarah Connor, etc), but studios don't know how to do it today? It's almost like it's "lost knowledge" these days.
Fucking retards like Anita Sarkeesian got the spotlight for what people wanted and they wanted their politics shoved into media as much as possible.
It's not that they don't know how to do it, it's that if they do it the right way, it completely fucks the narrative, and as we've established with these assjacks, narrative is more important than anything to them.
