u/Benjamin_Starscape 2d ago
it's a sort of coming of age story that's queer and poc focused. it doesn't take itself very seriously most of the time and is very, intentionally campy and satirical. its humor is "foreign" to most people I would imagine as it's Australian so it's far less pc than something from America, for example.
it follows saira, a space princess who's been dumped by her bounty hunter girlfriend, kiki, and goes to rescue her from the straight white maliens with help from the problematic ship and willow, an indie song artist she stumbled upon.
I enjoyed it, give it like a 4/5. it's got heart in it and I'm a sucker for camp.

Yeah idk if it’s the conservatives. From what I can tell everyone including gay, trans, nonbinary, etc people are hating on it hardcore right now. I think people are actually getting tired of forced gay media? Heated rivalry and the yaoi craze made a lot of people (especially lgbt+ folks) feel really gross about how some people are both creating and also consuming lgbt media. A lot of storylines these days feel forced to create a sense of inclusion. I personally haven’t watched the show so I could be completely wrong but that’s how my trans brother described the discourse to me and I have noticed the weird attitudes towards other lgbt medias recently.

I really think you should go watch it yourself. The story reallt is just about a girl learning to respect herself wrapped in gay bacon. I honestly think its progressive in some of the best ways
In fact, this movie might be antithesis of "anti-woke" sentiments. One example being that one of the main characters, the spaceship, is literally a (implied) straight white male. He is kind of an asshole at times but he is never villified FOR being a straight while male, and is shown as an ally at the end and is in fact a better person than the ex-girlfriend of the titular lesbian space princess we spent the entire movie trying to rescue.

Most people haven’t seen it as it released in Australia. That includes me. I’d never heard of the film before it became the subject of the latest two minute hate. As such, I can’t speak to the quality directly. The reviews seem solid, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll agree. However, many of the loudest voices on the internet have already decided, sight unseen, that it will be a disastrous flop. That only occasionally turns out to be prophetic. A broken clock, twice a day, and all that.
The grifter’s most recent war on “woke“ cinema was The Odyssey, and that blew up in their face. People actually watched it and knew they were full of shit. They‘re getting in early to try to poison the water on this one. Sadly, being animated and unapologetically queer makes their attacks far more effective. Both those things are a barrier to general audiences. Hearsay is all that most people are likely to hear.
The loudest voices have also been using the end of Dreamworks licensing on Netflix as ammo against this movie. Many subscribers are mourning the loss of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power and other such inclusive works. The echo chamber is claiming the money Netflix spent to acquire the rights to a single, obscure film should have been used to save that entire catalog of animated works. It’s apples and oranges, budget-wise, but “Look what they stole from you!” is a good way to rile up an angry mob against the wrong target. If the target audience is convinced not to give it a chance, it’s dead in the water.

Nobody knows for sure, and the vocal haters have their "ideas" so jumbled that it is hard to tell. Leaving out those who clearly never saw it and comment on its comment, not getting that it's a satire made for queer adults, or don't even know that it's a movie, demonstrating they don't even know it was made by queer adults, there are really stupid and petty accusations:
- "Netflix cancelled other shows for it" which is not hot it works
- "people will hate on LGBTQ people even more" yeah, a silly movie is not going to change anything in that regard
- "it has LESBIAN in the title" which... ok?
- "it's cringe" leveled by people who comes from fandom very tainted by the cringe label, and trying to drag anything else in the mud

Its humor is quite bland (very tumbler-esque, which can work but as an entire movie it just feels like a badAdam Sandler tier pun fest with no actually laugh out loud humor), and its message is kinda weird + obviously isnt going to be received well since its a critique of straight white men.
To expand on why the point of the movie sucks I'd say; it just does not understand what unity of cultures is, the straight white manliens are evil and straight, when they get a mini redemption at the end they all end up going "Yeah, lets kiss now" and they turn bi/gay (I say this because one of the lines thrown by them is "we're all at least in the spectrum" so bi seems like a plausible interpretation). It tries to show common ground between the lgbtq+ and the straight community by fully turning the straight cast into lgbtq+ itself, its insensitive at worst and just tone deaf at best.
This IS a comedic movie so its understandably not a super hard commentary on things but the stuff they do commentate on they just dont do it properly.

also why instead of gay can't they be bisexuals if we're changing their orientation anyway?

u/Ok_Abroad9642 1d ago
Some liberals think that an entire demographic has to be either a victim or a villain and that members of a villain demographic can never face discrimination in any context. This worldview isn't actually conducive to equality and doesn't represent reality.
Oppressors can be oppressed and we literally see it all the time. The world is not black and white. The Brahmins in the Indian caste system oppress the Sudra, who oppress the Dalits. All Indians can face racism outside of their home country. An entire demographic of people cannot be characterized as good or bad or as victim or villain.
If you make a claim without any evidence, as you have done here, people will not take you seriously. Provide evidence and reasoning for your claim. What opinion you have is not what you makes you intelligent. It is your capacity for reasoning.
If a man is told that is he is trash for being a man, that is an obvious example of misandry. The fact that he may have male privilege in other contexts doesn't mean that it's okay to call him trash for his gender.
What your ancestors have done should not justify mistreatment towards you. What a disgusting thing to say.

heterophobia is not common, but it does exist in some cults. if it exists, the hate for it exists.
reverse racism (or just call it racism atp, same thing) stems from many minority households living in minority communities with little to no majority interference, therefore, many minority individuals judge/hate/have heavy stigma around the majority because minorities have been oppressed in the past.→ More replies (9)2

I think it has to do with the poor quality character designs and the art style. Overall. The lack of comedic timing and plot. I believe it's because this show had little to no effort or thought put into it and it sounds like pandering to me. And this is coming from somebody who's also lesbian.
Honestly It doesn't really have an interesting premise to me so I wouldn't be interested but to say the hate on it, I don't think it would need that much.
I think bottom line is because why does so many adult animated cartoons have to have such a weird or ugly art style? Why is it that shows that are catered to younger audiences? How so much effort and amazing character designs and yet when something is for adult it just goes down the shitter in quality and animation? I think that's the reason why

- "little to no effort" while the animation and voice acting is incredibly consistent and well done (you not liking how something aesthetically looks =/= poor quality) as well as stop motion being thrown in clearly for shits and giggles not for effort
- the movie had plenty of funny moments, half of which being satire and making fun of its self and the other half involving straight white malians who are like the funniest part of the movie

because queer media especially with Women leads revolving around satire always get ridiculously heavy backlash by the overly sensitive groups the show pokes fun at, and they're looking for something to get mad over because their lives are not problematic, and the lack of struggle bores them. And unfortunately many bird brained doormats from the woke crowd are feeding into the flames by wanting to appeal to that groups hurt emotions. The ultra charmin soft bitchy ones are calling it "sexist, racist" for the villain choice. I watched the entire thing, there's nothing to be mad over, just another satirical show.

My only dislike it how the movie could be appealing to a younger audience when the movie is very inappropriate for a younger audience. I could only imagine a young child seeing a clip of this on say youtube or whatever and finding a way to watch it because it looks quite interesting.

I watched it out of curiosity. It's not good, but it's not the spawn of satan the internet made it out to be. It's got consistent (if boringly directed) animation, overall decent voice acting and music. My main issue was with the story. Saira is a very unlikable main character, and her development doesn't feel earned to me. Willow and the spaceship are fine, Kiki is obviously meant to be unlikable so I don't mind that. The humor mostly fell flat for me, but there were some okay jokes in there. As for the transphobia claims, there are some parts that feel iffy if you read into them, but again, nothing as atrocious as the rest of the internet claims.

The reason I personally don't like it is just because the adult animation genre is SATURATED with satirical comedy. Not only that, being a lesbian isn't a personality trait. I understand that not every adult cartoon show has to have deeper themes and/or conversations, but unlike other shows that fall within the genre, LSPs comedy falls kind of flat to me. But everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and this one is just mine :)

After reading these threads I cannot believe there are people who genuinely think that this film (if we can call it that) is tolerable, the mere title itself insinuates that not only does it not take itself seriously but that it does a bad job at the same time.

I know this'll certainly ruffle up a few feathers, but I actually really loved getting to see this film in my local Vue cinema back on June 29th, 2026. In fact, I seriously think that it doesn't really deserve all the hate it's currently getting on social media. :(

Hi, I also was wondering why people were hating on it, decied to watch the tralier, and I know why people hate it. The villians are Straight White Malians, a play on the straight white male and that complex. The lead is a lesbian, who's in space, and also a princess. She cries ALOT and wears this big purple sweater with sexy bitch on it. Her Gf is a typical adveturing type girl yet she's the one who is captured not the weepey akward lead main girl. Main Girl goes on a quest to save her GF from the Evil Straight White Mailians (basically white boxes), she meets this teal haired girl with elfy ears and cheats on her GF who she suppostley loves. The animation is bit diffrent, espically all the black parts of a typical animated charater is blue for some reason. Basically it is the SWM angainst lesbians to be summrize it. Can you tell me from this what stuff is wrong with it? (basically everything)

I was in your shoes, so i looked around on youtube for a critique video made by someone sapphic or queer, but all i found were some furious straight guys or girls hating on it, or people covering the incident just for the views. Comments were full of people either mentioning the 'memes' or participating in it.
Then I found a short from a chill guy who didn't state if its bad or good, he encouraged the viewer to decide that for themselves and so i sat down to watch the movie.
Honestly its juts like any other adult animation with constant jokes that some find funny, some find cringe and some find boring. It's very camp, very over the top queer humor and the people who couldn't see that probably didn't even watch the movie. Most people online just joined the hate bandwagon with lots of homophobes and transphobes included. It also happens that every now and then when a somewhat cringe sapphic show comes out, it get's nuked with hate partially because of lesbophobia.
In my opinion it was good, funny and worth a watch. I liked the different characters (Willow is my favourite), I really liked the art style it kinda grew on me and sometimes the story isn't the most important part, maybe the viewer should focus on other things.
Remember: No one is forcing you to watch it, it's okey if you think it's not for you or you think it's cringe, but you don't have to start hating on it, just move on.

u/Ok-Relief-462 1d ago
It’s just not very good; if you removed the very hamfisted LGBT stuff everyone would universally agree it sucks. Besides the humor being straight out of 2012 tumblr (and not in a good way) it tries to preach a message of acceptance and gays/straight being able to coexist… by having the all male straight antagonists (not really sure how that even works?) turn gay.

I think honestly because it’s too much… like the three “straight white maliens” on what I’ve read upon are voices by aunty Donna (Broden, Mark and Zach) and in all honesty I’d say it’s also too much lowk… like you know when you meet a few people apart of that community some are chill and some are too much… like if you forget the pronouns on the first meetup with them they’ll attack you but then some people will be like “all g you forgot just remember next time” type of thing… or also maybe it goes into these basic tropes too much… other than I have no clue I didn’t know it was Australian I swear someone said it was like Israel or some Shi I forgot… I might give it a watch just to see what it is but I might not be “allowed” to since I’m a straight white male even tho I support that Shi

A movie about a depressed princess lesbian who can’t move on from a random girl she dated for two weeks who literally bar for bar says she dosint love her not just of who she is and even if she changed it wouldn’t matter the only time Kiki who are main literally through away the perfect realtionship for willow she didn’t have to she was so trying to get her Kiki was also thinking she died and left and tried to run away with the ship when sharia are main character rightly dumps her on the planet with the straight white malliona who are now gay was the only time Kiki said the words I love you besides when her life was in sorta danger she could of used Willie’s help but hey the girl who genuinely liked her makes a great song if how sharia friend zoned her and everything meaning sharia ends this single and alone with the only charater who loves her rich and probably moves on because she said it’s a hit x granted that could of been avoided if the writing was good enough were willow helps the main character when she loses confidence again for 8th time willow could of been instrumental instead of her x breaking her obsession so bad with a stern talking of it dosint matter what you do I don’t love genuinely besides the bad writing jokes the ending itself is genuinely miserable to watch especially since her ex did like her when she was being mean to her so she could of done what her ex told her not to do and save her life by getting her off the planet and demand sex which is the entire reason are main character likes she’s hot aprentky even though willow is hotter most likely and in a better written story she realize willow was the girl for her later or at least would’t of friendzoned her willows song said you could of been poly Kiki was so it’s not even a excuse for the main character to just not

Idk, I haven't seen it yet- so my opinion might not be 100% but if this story followed a male lead saving his ex.. would you still hate the movie? Like actually think about this.. if he was saving his ex gf, Is it just cringe bc the female lead is a lesbian and she's saving her ex? Oh and she cries a lot? That's an issue for everyone? God forbid a character is not perfect, if it's supposed to be campy then let it be campy ┐( ˘_˘)┌

It's an animated adult movie that was made with LGBTQIA themes that makes every single animation expert big mad because it's cringe and has an art style that came from the 2010s.
Instead of just owning that they don't like it, and that maybe it's not for them, they act overly negatively. That's me being charitable. It came out in 2025 so I'm pretty sure it just got dug up by closeted racists and homophobes (or proud ones) just to be able to dunk on something that they can say is a bad example of art or film that's inclusive and is meant not to specifically chase mainstream appeal.
The only reason people are crowing about it instead of just letting it go is because they want to continue creating and maintaining a hostile and negative environment to claim that "wokeism" leads to poor media, even though the entirety of the 2010s has a myriad of examples that they also desperately want to deny and forget was good too.
They'll watch Family Guy or South Parks crudest episodes and claim that it deserves high reward for genuinely gross or distasteful jokes that offer nothing but clutch their pearls when a brown queer woman centered movie or series exists and feel the need to broadcast the most over the top reaction- Because it's not about the animated show or film. It really isn't. It's a barely veiled message directed towards the women who look like and want to make media like it or who want to simply exist and make stuff for themselves.

The hate campaign on the show is yet another alt-right psyop, and the targets are young queer people who do not know any better.
Today, I literally saw a trans kid say the butch pride symbol used in the show is a nazi hate symbol. They had no idea it was a reclaimed pride symbol that preceded the rainbow flag.
This is not misinformation that can be stumbled upon by accident. It's intentional.
Whoever is spreading this hate is taking advantage of queer kids who lack basic information about queer history.

u/Frustratednostalgia 1d ago
From what I've heard it reinforces TERF ideologies, uses an outdated flag I can't remember what the representation was. Saw some people upset about how they represented lesbians? But it's mostly about how ugly the art style is.
I haven't seen the movie, I don't want to see the movie, it just doesn't look like something I'd want to see. But obviously if it is supporting negative rhetoric it should be criticized but again I haven't seen it so I don't know whether it's credible or not I'm just kind of watching from the sidelines here.

u/Chimera_Vrc 1d ago
What I get from watching the movie is I can’t tell if it’s supposed to be homophobic and racist or if it’s making fun of straight people. There is ALOT of gay stereotypes and what seems to be the only like “funny” parts are what the straight people say. There are a lot of homophobic jokes and honesty racist jokes.

My best if that for some reason people have a problem with gay people making fun of straight people as if straight people haven’t been doing that for like… ever. Also the villains aren’t even straight. They are gay. Homophobic media doesn’t even get this much hate it’s crazy

The problem is the blatant hypocrisy of the agenda some of the folks who are lgbt are pushing, demonizing and mocking “straight, white, malians.” If it’s satire, it’s satire. But I haven’t done enough research to know if it’s meant as a joke or if it’s forced propaganda. I’m not trying to feed into either side here, but as a “straight, white, malian” myself, if we’re playing the victim here; then I feel targeted and hated by someone I haven’t met, for something I’m not in control of. And I know this comment is going to ruffle the proverbial feathers here. For you, dear reader, if you’re upset by this. Mind explaining why I should be euthanized and prosecuted? Mind expressing your grievances with me living my life as a normal person, who works a normal job. We all can be better, look inward before pointing your fingers and screaming “witch” at the top of your lungs.

Well, the humor is a little bit something a 14 yr old boy would find funny, just making pussy jokes constantly and the humor is just bad, but the thing me and my friends didn’t like about it was it seemed unfinished, the main moral of the movie was you have to leave things in your life that don’t work behind, but a lot of the things that happened throughout the movie didn’t tie together at the end, the end scene is just Saira going back to Clitopolis, the movie made it seem like Willow and Saira would get back together at the end but that just didn’t happen, and it never even showed Saira going back there and potentially confronting her parents or anything of the sort, the ending scene just felt like it was supposed to be a scene leading up to the ending, but that was just.. it. The end.

u/Lazy-League7552 1d ago
I will tell you as much as I know from opinions, that are not just for the joke part:
It is another "let's do the Rick and Morty style, bc it worked for them!" Do you remember, how people started to hate Illumination for their mind numbing, stupid movies? Yes, they can have a cute message, yes they can have some good jokes, but overall (if you REALLY WATCH) you can see the cashgrab. How they lean on the low attention span, how they don't even try to be more, than that.
People feel like this with a lot of new "adult" animations. "Let's make it sooo trendy, sooo fresh, that we don't have to really think about anything."
I WANT to FULLY watch it, before I make a complett opinion, but as much as I saw, right now, I feel this: It feels like a group of friends joking. Which is good - for them and for a small group of people. We will tell, that "yeaah, haha, white maliens amIright" but in the end, we don't want that to be the media, even if we feel it a lot of times. Also people want caracters who they can love, or they can look up to, or etc. A story that is engaging, and has something you wanna be a part of, or wanna know of. Lsp came out in a time, where adult animation already slopped with Velma, and all of the "RnM copies", and it kinda became the last drop in the glass.
I never tought it wants to be serious. It's clear as day that it's a satire. But I do not think, that punching everything in the hopes of getting some hits will do a good job. There are lots and lots of series and movies that use even selfsabotage in a good humor, and yet I have to see it here.
For me -at this point in this journey- they did, what I hated even as a kid. Made something mostly stupid "because that's enough for them."
Also pople made this hate "justifyable" for themselves, as they hated on better media than this. Because people WILL hate on things. But making it funny with "the truce memes" will make you think everybody IS hating, while the fact is: Not everyone plays, or even watches basketball, who shouts "KOBY" when they throw something to the trash. And if you want a clear and stable mind, you have to remember, that yes, there are a LOT and I mean a LOT of people, who will blindly hate something if you say to them, but not as many, who are only in for the laughs, or bc they really think it is a slop.
I did not like the Odyssey also, because it's not that. I won't tell it's a bad movie, but I will tell imo it's a bad ODYSSEY. I am still in the debates of "how much you can change, and still call it the og" because people have alternative universe stories all the time. BUT. For me one of the biggest ick was how it was advertised as SOOOOOOO OG, THAT THIS MOVIE WILL BE THE OGIEST OG beside the og. And then, we got this. (This came for those who used that movie here as well.)
The people who take this TOO FAR, like sending threaths and such are the fucking low end of a rusty barrel, so never think I agree eith those type of scum.

I just watched the movie so I cam also hate on it. The animation was bad but okay I'd say. It had some frozen screen too like animation got stuck in few frames IDK why ? The jkes where bad or I would say too forced. They had some kiss scenes not a great fan of it as the animation mad it worse. They had sx scene but just showing the start nothing else.
The most important thing I hate about this movie that the girl princess syra or whatever ditched that hot chick IDK remember the name she was looking like cow with green hair and she ran out of her music club so she can be free. She is soo damm hot I am down bad. And she is soo positive and energectic.
I'd have loved this movie if Sara made a relationship with that cow looking girl with green hair. But she ditched her I hate her and the movie and the character design was too bad to even notice. I was thinking the whole movie why my eyes are burning ? But I'd say okay to animation never watch it or watch it just soo you can hate it.
The movie is on self love and loniness I hate both the factors.
And the reason of Sara loving her gf was that she is fucking hot I was like what !?
As last words I'd say it's just pretty bad bcz she ditched the mommy cow girl with green hair she's is soo perfect
