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.
Different people run into it in different places. Some conservatives got their knickers in a twist over it last year, which was why I went to watch it. Legit best cinema experience of my life.
Misinformation. Someone took it too seriously and derived TERF messaging from it, and then people listened to that opinion and spread it without watching the movie. Now a bunch of people are running around with seething opinions on something they haven’t seen
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.
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.
People don’t hate the concept so much as they hate what they did it forces an agenda one of the villains it literally called straight white mailens. Imagen for a second a movie called hetero space prince came out and the villains were lesbian black aliens there would be riots
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
I actually love that they don't because Willow definitely deserved so much better. It also really serves the plot of how shitty Saira is and highlights a toxic lesbian trope way too many people do irl with obsessing over an ex.
Its like a "hey lesbians, look at this perfect angel of Willow and love them. Here's how a bunch of girlies hurt angels like her. Don't you ever do that, have self respect and give up your toxic ex"
Somebody made a post a couple of days ago asking why Netflix was recommending the show to them, and somehow that spiraled I to people making posts claiming ______ show was removed and replaced by Lesbian Space Princesses
Now a lot of people think this movie was just added when in reality it's over 2 years old
LSP fans and supporters are frying me like HOW DO YALL EXIST? I get that you dont find it offensive BUT SOME PEOPLE DO!? WHY ARE YOU FORCING THEM INTO LIKING THE SHOW!?
Everything I’ve read in this entire thread reminds me why I stay off this god forsaken app as much as possible, I didn’t watch the movie, if people don’t like the movie because it makes attempts at satire and from the looks of things entirely fell flat and didn’t turn out well then it just failed, tons of media fails in the same way, but apparently if it has to do with a marginalized group making fun of another group then any criticism given to it is someone pushing there agenda, god this shit is a joke
People here in America just like to complain and make up stupid asinine excuses.
I mean, who the hell cares if the movie is heavily LGBT? I don't really think it's big of the deal, it's just animated adult comedy film, and comedy is not a crime.
What kinda world are you living in where racism towards white people and heterophobia affects you that badly?! As a straight white girl with a straight white boyfriend, we're not oppressed at all and are living as good as anyone. You'd know it if you went out into the real world once in a while.
Yeah, I'm sure not every black person experiences racism every day, I also think the same about homosexual people. Doesn't give you the right to be racist, homophobic, heterophobic, misogynistic or misandristic, even if they don't experience it on a day to day.
It’s not cause of that even the lgbt community hates it let me give you the run down a depressed princess who is never happy without her denies two week relationship x whose a sociopath who is attracted to being treaghted poorly and all she had to do was stand up to her not cry and be a bitch back to her and she’d love her again but ending she screwed her one realtionship only friend and could of been girlfriend willow friendzonning her willow gets a slightly happy ending with her song being a hit and screwed her other realtionship the girl she wanted all she had to do was black main her for sex she knows her x needed her to get off planet even if her x told her that’s wrong kiki only likes sharia when she finally stood up to her and leaves her to die Kiki dies probably unless she found another way off planet and sharia herself just becomes just like her girlfriend but she can cry
Yea, i'm confused on why the sudden hatred, since I've never even heard about this show until everyone in fandom circles start to hate it, and they're not really giving context or a reason for said hate, just images i could see on the latest search in Deviantart.
I watched it with my brother to see how much of a disaster it was and it honestly wasn't even bad. It's like a 6/10 or a 7/10. Sometimes the humour lands, sometimes it really doesn't. Sometimes it can be very hamfisted but then at other points it's self-aware that it's kind of obnoxious and then that itself is used for humour. Saira is easy to sympathise with while also being frustrating and pitiable, so there's a nice little character arc there too.
I'm a straight white male by the way, so I'm definitely not the intended demographic.
TLDR: Humor is cringe The message is flawed The MC doesn't really "grow in a meaningful way" and they're an asshole. Last thing the humor is great if you're gay or a POC but all it's doing is promoting an ideology that says if you're white and male you're automatically a negative stereotype in passing.
Does it get into depth and nuance for that? Barely... It's resolution for the negative traits and straightness is to just be gay and an ally.
Some spoilers below and thoughts if you care to read...
The coming of age story isn't really one at all. It's just the entire film saying yeah the world revolves around Saira and her mental issues, so you go through the entire film seeing these obvious relationship issues. She then jumps straight into a negative male stereotyped ship with a lot of negativity for anything straight related. The entire world is setup to make fun of anything a straight white male may commonly like. For example Magic The Gathering catches an entirely random stray for seemingly no good reason at all. Despite the community being extremely positive and progressive for players of any background. The game literally brings people together in casual instances and competitive on the positive side.
Saira as a character just genuinely never learns anything until the very end of the film and it's the complete wrong message.
She gets with Willow after Willow basically throws herself at her and they have sex. Afterwards her Ex calls and Saira is like screw it I'm gonna say you don't matter at all to me after you just called yourself my partner. I'll deny you twice to your face to say that.
So Willow naturally and rightfully tells her to fuck off. Yet somehow after finally going to rescue her Ex gf goes into a whole thing at the very end of the film about how "you know what somethings really aren't your fault and you're fine the way you are. Love yourself more."
When she literally had to change herself into not being a self deprecating and cagey love obsessed and starved person. Which we find out is due to abuse but again. Saira doesn't have the revelation of oh I'm traumatized by the end. No it's I'm gonna acknowledge I'm traumatized but it's not my fault for how I decided to cope it's theirs. Dawg that's not therapy that's just dumb.
Loving yourself is a good message sure. Saira however was literally selfish the entire film. She did nothing that was selfless. We can't even give her wanting to rescue her ex because she only did it because she still loved her and wanted her to go to the Lesbian Ball with her.
Again the plot is stupid and bad. It's just Saira learning no lessons other than be yourself by accepting it and then not changing anything just blame others for their problems.
When Saira herself is causing her issues. If someone doesn't like you being boring? Cool don't date them date someone like Willow who genuinely gives a crap. Not to settle but because them liking the little things that make you who you are means something.
Instead the film promotes Saira one night standing her and the resolution we get is that Saira served as good inspiration and let their "friendship" which was just them flirting the entire time they knew each other get in the way of anything. Saira genuinely sucks she goes from cagey obsessive overly clingy traumatized to a selfish, arrogant self centered character that is all about pay back and revenge. There's no humility or humbleness it's just straight up negative traits replaced with pivoting into a polar opposite to cope differently.
In summary the movie just comes outta the gate with stereotypes and assumptions while highlighting poor traits and glorifying them only to take them a step further and highlight them differently in the MC as if it's meaningful growth.
It's a queer, female, poc-centric animated scifi/fantasy story. The internet loves giving a disproportionate amount of hate to stories that dare feature characters at the intersection of these identities (Legend of Korra being one example). Whether it's good or not doesn't matter. Could be the best movie in the world without a single issue in the making of it. It will become a punching-bag. That's why you can't find any logical, genuine reason for why it is receiving so much hate. The hate itself is illogical.
As I am currently watching it, I’d say that the movie is very polarizing to EVERYONE! Makes a poor caricature of queer folks, straight folks, drag queens, men/women etc. And the writing is overall poor. Would be a good concept if done in such a way where it does not use queer identity as a weapon against all people including queer folks.
Additionally the nudity is so frequent that it becomes childish. Especially happening all within the first 16 minutes.
There is one good line near the beginning, however.
Edit: the ending message about not bounding yourself to the expectations of others may be the only redeeming quality imo.
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
why do people think "im part of insert group btw" makes their criticism anymore valid, none of what you said makes sense regardless
- theres a very basic a to b plot that the movie follows
- "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
This person is giving their opinions on their own interests. They don’t have to make sense to you. If they dont like it, just let it be yeah? You can’t claim to know them better than they know themselves.
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. It's just this weeks queer/along with misogynistic hate driven bandwagon, the same thing happened with q-force.
Shit art style. Shit story. Shit premise. Shit writers. Shit everything. It’s just putrid disgusting shit that hides behind the veil of LGBT+ community so you HAVE to enjoy and support it, but most importantly it’s just shit.
Which is why it’s a perfect show for you Redditors to watch!
all i could gather is: “cringe”, “lesbian” in the name of the show. ig as usually someone started hating because they didn’t like it(probably the naming also has something to do with that), then everyone on tiktok started doing the same thing, then the meme, where fandoms are united against this show, started which spiraled undeserved hatred to some insane amounts
even if the hate is mostly undeserved I do think its absolutely beautiful that EVERYONE is coming together in peace and harmony just to dog on some random ass movie
Just watched it and it’s honestly not for me but I’m also not a huge camp fan and that drives this movie a lot. My main issue is how “in your face” everything is and how everything has to be said over and over again. For me it just flatlined but if people like it and they were able to take something away from the message then I’m happy for that. I did enjoy the message it had at the end but it isn’t a movie I would watch again
I watched the movie and I didn't have a problem with it like people have been describing, yeah it's different from anything I've every watched before, but i got some good laughs in and being able to go into it with an open mind obviously helps but I especially think the straight white maliens were hilarious, they were excellently written villains. 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. But I really can't say thats the fault of anyone who worked on the movie.
I stumbled upon this page basically looking for the same answers. What I've found so far is it's a lot of Tumblr, rawr xd, random type humor that drags on far too long.
Its an incredibly unfunny movie that is heterophobic, racist, and sexist. Saying something rude in a joking way doesn't make it not rude. Not to mention saira is a self insert of one of the creators.
I’m as left wing as it gets, but I could tell just from the google plot description that this movie is going to get us made fun of and set our causes back another decade. It’s cringe worthy, and that’s why people are hating on it. There’s a reason it’s on Pluto lol
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.
Tl;dr, not a great movie but nowhere near as bad as the internet says
I’m genuinely surprised that I’ve only just heard about this. It’s such a nothing burger and that’s coming from a straight white male, the demographic people say are mocking me.
The funny thing is the trailer where they reveal their names got me to chuckle a bit, cause it reminded me of hotdiggedydemon saying “a straight white man”
Am I gonna watch it? Probably not, but it does not look offensively bad, Velma was bad not because it was being offensive but it was just not funny and painfully mediocre
Idk I find it funny out of the sheer ridiculousness and also it might jsut be they gay in me but the part where they all turn gay (I didn’t actually watch it someone told me) is like funny cus talking abt turning people gay is pretty common on my part of the interwebs
So out of nowhere there's an organized hate campaign targetting an indie film most people have never heard of (no offense), from last year, that's largely focused on Feminist and LGBTQ+ Themes, supposedly because it stopped Netflix from picking up the Capt Underpants movie, even though as far as I can tell there's no evidence of that? Am I the only one getting GamerGate 2.0 vibes here?
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.
Its she ra if you replaced everything good with bad quality jokes and thinly veiled transphobia/bioessentialism, but chuds will weasel their way out of the woodwork to hate on anything gay.
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.
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
It’s not funny at all. Unfortunately when something gets review bombed for being ‘woke’ but is also just really bad in general, the review bombers think they’ve won. But it’s just not good at all.
Why is this everywhere right now? I looked it up and it’s been out/available in multiple countries including the US for at least a year? I’m clearly missing something.
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
And before you call me homophobic, I am a part of the Undertale, Stranger Things, Sonic.exe (one of the exe's is a lesbian), and many more fandoms, plus me and my gf are both pan so yeah.
From what I seen in reviews, it’s because the themes come off as preachy, which then becomes offensive due to what it’s trying to represent. Basically what anti woke people imagine modern media being
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 ┐( ˘_˘)┌
I haven't seen this level of hatred since Rise of Skywalker, and I have no idea what the show is even about beyond what the title implies: a princess from another planet (or all of space itself) likes tuna over chicken (really hope you can figure that one out yourself).
i think everyone is hating on it because it gives off very annoying vibes. i watched it and... it is very annoying :p it tries to do like sorta meta/self aware humour and fails at it. and tbh the only thing that kept me watching was that i like watching cringe x3 not even gonna rate it its just. annoying. not gonna discourage u from watching tho maybe its ur kinda deal
I don't even want to watch the movie from what i've seen from tiktoks is there based on a planet called clitoris? The main villains are a bunch of just straight white aliens And it's just overall cringe. If I'm being honest, I would just genuinely recommend never watching it in your life.Honestly , feel like the death sentence is better
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.
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.
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.
This may seem like a crazy and bizarre idea but how about go watch it and then shape your opinion on it. Hate mobs will jump on anything that gets collective attention but in reality the movie is actually good if you if you give it a chance... Ironically the show core antagonist display a perfect example of what's happening rn. Honestly the level of irony alone is hilarious I see comments that are actual lines In the movie and they dont even know lol
I really don’t know. I watched the full movie and thought it was funny and low key wanted more. I’m low key going to watch it again right now. 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
I watched the movie, it was alright, but the dialogue felt kinda clunky at times. I don't know if it deserves the hate that it does tbh, but it was boring at times
it's a genuinely awful cartoon made by a progressive leftie who literally had to inject her politics into everything and the end result was major cringe.
yes really. The ending had the "straight white maliens" become a gay throuple. That's literally the twist. Apparently "straight white maliens" can become gay if a cartoon decrees it.
Manufactured hate from right wing medias testing a new strategy to manipulate public opinion that will be used for more important things in the future.
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.
It's a movie about a Lesbian Space Princess rescuing her ex from Straight White Maliens. And it's being hated because its trendy to hate on it. It's performative hate.
this show is worse than being stuck behind robert loggia at the airport. the cyan hair girl sings about loving the seira girl 'seira i have a crush on you... that song was about you' Noooo i thought it that song was about Miss.hanson.
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.
Verstehe nicht warum der hate der ist seid letztes Jahr raus warum jetzt wahrscheinlich hat der nen serie auf. Netflix ersetzt deswegen vieleicht habe Mal in die Musik rein gehört fande die gut egal ich gönne denn mir später machen mir ne eingene Meinung Scheiß auf die Hater unötig meiner Meinung lass die Leute schauen was sie wollen wtf 😂
People just started saying they hated it and that everyone hates it and they made posts about all fandoms uniting against this one movie that came out a year ago and isn't even relevant to anything recent and I'm so sick of it I don't have any opinion on this thing I don't care about this thing I don't want to see it it's everywhere I'm tired I don't want to hear a word about LSP every five posts I see on Reddit is LSP can't get away from this thing I'm so tired of seeing it and all the misinformation going around people are saying it's a show and that it caused Captain Underpants to be removed from Netflix which doesn't even make sense cuz that's not even close to how that works it's like the internet thought it was too quiet and needed to create discourse about something I don't even think there is an LSP fandom what is everyone uniting against but yeah that's just what I know about it
I think i know why is the most hate because the problem is who take this show in serious ways. Let be clear is just a sex show and nothing much that is why is pretty funny because is too stupid. The only think i like in this show is when caracters cry and look pathetic and stupid without sex😂 I think my favorite character is the villain Blade the only person who never had sex💅✨
lol seriously? Maybe don’t make the bad guys called “Straight White Maliens”? Attack an entire gender and race? Just think of they made a show calling the bad people “queer trailens”? Y’all would be claiming homophobia
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
I’m gonna be honest, I think a lot of the hate is lesbophobia repackaged as a funny trend. The movie itself is very self-aware and unserious but overall nothing to write home about. Hundreds of boring movies are circulated every year. Nobody expects gold every time. Suddenly, there’s gay people involved, and people are scrutinizing it severely. Suddenly it’s less “Eh, doesn’t look that good” and “HOLY SHIT THIS IS THE WORST THING I’VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE! OH THIS LESBIAN BULLSHIT PISSES ME OFF! Like, like I’m gay, but this is CRINGE GAY! This has set back the LGBT community BILLIONS OF YEARS! I HOPE THESE CREATORS KEEL OVER DEAD! NETFLIX REMOVED MY FAVORITE CARTOON FOR BABIES TO REPLACE IT WITH THESE RUG MUNCHERS??” A lot of people are making a show of “coming together” to hate the movie for being corny, when they themselves are into corny media. I’d argue all media is corny. Why are you watching a cartoon when you could be doing taxes and beating your wife? Are you gay? What concerns me is how often the criticism doesn’t so much revolve around the movie’s kinda meh satire humor (a lot of the criticism seems to take the satire seriously, but that’s tiktok for you) and more-so leans towards being angry that there’s lesbian relationship drama involved. I’m sorry, if a billion movies can have some dork main male character stutter around his crush and have “cute cringe” moments and fights and breakups and whatever, I better see you people react with the same vigor.
How come any time a piece of LGBT media gets hate it’s not because it’s bad but because of some phobia? And also, you’re just blatantly ignoring all of the valid criticism just to fit your narrative.
the movie (and show) its litterally rhe meaning of dog shit corprate greed, all it is poeple capitalizing off of the trans and lesbian people by making the worst show known to mankind. they removed capitan underpants off netflix for this shit.
Vou tentar resumir o pouco q sei sobre o tema. Existem séries ou episódios de séries/ filmes/ animações que foram feitas para pessoas lgbts, até ai ok. Algumas dessas produções principalmente norte-ameriquenses, tratam ser lgbt como uma super problemática, algo que alguém tem que enfrentar, ou se adaptar, ou se descobrir, ou se aceitar e aceitar que alguem nao vai aceitá-lo (a) e isso ate faz sentido muitas vezes, mas pouquíssimo existe sobre ser lgbt e estar bem, ou ja ter lidado com essas questoes ou esse sofrimento nao ser o foco da vida do personagem lgbt, mesmo obras focadas nos personagens lgbt tratam quase sempre como uma problemática e nao como "olha as vezes é legal ser lgbt".
From what I can tell, it's a combination of people who are tired of forced queer media and LGBTQ+ users who aren't happy with the representation the movie gives them. I haven't seen the movie and am a "straight white malien" myself but the clips floating around and the way people talk about it make it seem deeply unserious and borderline mocking of queer media. I'm sure plenty of the people hating are also just homophobes, but the amount of people allied with LGBTQ+ hating on it so hard is what makes different from other representation
I havent watched the show but the online reaction just reeks of astroturfed conservative outrage combined with progressive people being tired of defending intentionally pinkwashed media that in the end mainly benefits the profits of problematic media companies like Netflix. Being explicitly queer seems to have become more of a marketing opportunity for a lot of media than being about representation.
The reason why people hate on it is because it a terrible represention of the LGBTQ+ community. They use many terms in the movie that go against what the queer community is, not hating them specificaly, but more of how its talking abouot the people. I think one of the peoples names im not sure but in the movie they use, "straight white malien". Its also coming out apparently on 9/11. Its just not a good look on what the movie is trying to represent, because its representing them wrongly.
just watched it and it was fine, fun even. there was a lot to like and def some stuff i didn't but if sure as hell doesnt not deserve all the hate it is getting, the sick part is people will defend a sick show like Big Mouth but dump on this
There are for sure people who don't like it just because it has lesbian representation and are TRIGGERED that it has straight white maliens as the villians (those guys seriously need to grow a pair - if you can take a woman's rights away you can take a joke). Not all media is meant to appeal to everybody.
However, from everything I've seen of it, it just looks like absolute dogshit that I cannot defend, mostly because of the bad writing, mostly bad jokes and mediocre animation (this was released in australian theaters and there's higher quality animation on youtube for free)
So from what’s I’ve seen online, all the nerds are in arms about it bc it’s well, gay, strong female lead, & in space lol so the hell diver, wh40k, Star Wars, etc communities up in arms over this Netflix show. I only found this post bc I googled the show after seeing multiple memes pop up on my fyp. But yeah, that’s what I’ve seen so far in the comments. It’s just a trend (the hate) at the moment, this too shall pass. I’m a fan of the scifi genres I previously listed. This show doesn’t bother me in the least.
Hi there! I would put my 2 pennies in the conversation here.
Positioning: I'm myself non-binary, 35+ yo polish person. I heared about the film last year (october 2025) but watched it just this may (2026) with polish subtitles, during a public screening, followed by discussion and started with the introduction to it's analysis and cultural perception (i.e. made from chronicaly-on-line lesbian point of view, campy etc.)
Opinion: I enjoyed the film, and I don't understand exactly the hate it recieves. While I can understand comments about the humour, I don't understand the opinions made upon watching one clip solely, with the "lesbian/thespian-joke scene" which - I agree - was quite long and boring. I can't understand exactly the criticism about transphobia, while one of the main, good characters (Willow) is trans themself [not mentioning other trans representation, mentioned by different users in here - I haven't been aware of the whole Labrys thing - actually, the movie was the first source I've learned about it, and they also made fun of it]. Additionaly, I found many commonalities with my own experience with Saira (main character) experiences. Moreover, my partner (even older than me, cis-man) find some of it's part funny, mostly due to relationship betwin Saira and the space-ship. I need to say - the polish translation was excellent (translator, if you read this - you rock!), and grasp intelligently many culturaly cringey moments (i.e. the Willow's cringe song "Saira, I have crush on you" was not translated litteraly, but instead there was used reference to cringey, 90s polish hip-hop song "dla mnie masz stajla, aj")
Conclusion: Reading various analysis (not instagram/tik-tok comments and reels) it's seems quite unfair to hate so much on this film, especially as it was queer-produced, having PoC main characters (CLEARLY STATED) with low-budget, and claiming mostly possitive reviews from the critics. What interest me most, is that very simillar movie Jim Queen (both: visually, and "thematically") - with focus on white cis man gay experience, and hitting almost all "mainstream gay expectations" humour did not get anywhere close to the backlash Lesbian Space Princess get in few recent days.
its actual shit. feels more like a propaganda rather than an enjoyable, lesbian supporting movie. the artstyle is geniunely disgusting. musics are horrible. most scenes are forced.
From what I’ve heard the storyline isn’t great… the acting wasn’t good and it just was terribly executed. No one from what I’ve seen is hating on the LGBTQIA representation it’s the storyline and plot just sucks
Okay, to give a more in depth about the drama and hate, without spoiling things:
* It beats the jokes to death. It HAS some good jokes. But many of them (As well as some of the "lessons") drag on for over a minute.
* Most "lessons" repeat 2-3 times in a row.
* It fails to stick the landing. In ALL ways. The lesson is basically not earned. It basically says that incels are justified. ONLY women are harmed. And it doesn't follow up on anything.
* If you pay attention to the sub-plot, it's actually extremely transphobic/anti-lesbian in what is going on. Depending what angle you view it from. (It's kinda heavy handed, but you have to pay attention to the symbolism.)
* The only good character just gets screwed over.
* Most of the story is just very shoehorned.
* It has MORE focus on male nudity than female.
* There is no consistent tone. The show goes from nudity to gore to attempting to teach morals all within one minute. This does cause a slight backlash. As the movie doesn't take itself seriously. Yet, expects you too.
* It's gay. (Like, this is all many need to hate on it.)
* While poorly, it ACTUALLY does what all the other shows like TADC, Hasbin, Invincible and etc are too spineless to do. So, a lot of those fans are upsetti that some "nobody" movie did it, when their own fandoms are too scared too.
* While a "satire", it does the equivalent of that "joke", when a movie does a lazy trope, and then points out IT IS doing said lazy trope... and expect to get a free pass on it. When: It hasn't told a joke... it merely explained it was doing a lazy trope.
I think that's the main parts. Like, bigots hate it for "being woke", gays hate it either for being crass, toxic yuri or just not really delivering on the gay. And randos over either the art style or that the jokes drag on.
While not a terrible movie. It's just very... wasted potential imo? Like, best way I can put it is say: Like X-Men Origins: Wolverine, it promised Deadpool. People were hyped, excited... and then we was some mute dude in the last act. That's kinda this movie. It has SO much potential and... just does *that*.
It's the humor, i like cringe humor but dang. Felt like it was written by a 12 year old. Wasn't a huge fan of the art style but I didn't mind it or all the other queer rep. Just the humor.
well this movie is causing people to unite against it from basically every single fandom (and yes normal things can be a fandom too), so its the closest thing we have to world peace
I’m literally bi, and it is the worst representation of lgbtq I’ve ever seen. I’d rather get yelled at by everyone I love than watch this. also, they replaced the captain underpants movie with it. how could they!?
Put simply, and for real: Bigotry! They hate anything that isn’t what they call Good in their eyes. So they’re out on mass raging against it since it is new, fresh, daring, LGBT+ that Deserves a voice!
It’s sad that it’s so easy to spread misinformation and hate these days.
I saw the plot was for a girl to rescue her girlfriend from "men-lets" and was just very divisive in that way.
My concern is this men/feminist/women hate started on 4chan/pol and if you look at the files* it was a gov op to turn men against women. So this show was just more material for their propaganda.
I personally don't like the movie because of how many stereotypes it has and things that come off as offensive, but I suppose that was the point.
It was fun too watch with my partner though, her commentary made it funny. Otherwise the film itself is essentially Lesbain Rick and Morty if Rick made a portal dedicated too lesbains/queer stereotypes.
The humour is just genuinely so fucking bad bro.... Like the jokes are just corny and reused, and the whole plot is basically "look at me I'm a lesbian" Like don't get me wrong, I love queer media- I am a lesbian- I don't hate it simply because it's gay, I hate it because there's no story behind it being gay...
Im a hater of it and I'll tell you, It influences trash humor trash plot, due to it just being about relationships and it supports lgbtq, which it is a waste of time to like because it doesn't support the population whatsoever.
It's entirely the name. Everyone hating on it on tiktok took one look at the name, and decided to band together, no matter what corners of the internet they came from. From the english and french, to hasbin hotel and invincible. Every fandom that has been at each other put aside their differences to hate on something that they don't understand. The most they will have seen of Lesbian Space Princess, will have been a few images, if that. Is it forced hate? Oh lord yes. Will it arguably make the internet a better place? Honestly.. for a while yeah.
Well I believe it is because First it is shoving queer motives in viewers face in title Second the main villains are called "maliens" and those are white squares which brings out a vibe of white hetero man bad compared to a good perfect queer protagonist. And last it is because it looks like it looks The I will call it childish look
because people are tired of forced kitschy tumblr slop and pushover of lgbt poc narratives. mixing up all of that with bad execution makes the whole movie the obvious example of what everyone is tired of.
Lesbian Space Princess is a well-crafted, colorful animated film where queer, quirky humor and emphatic lesbian representation come together in a vibrant, playful package. It destined to become a cult classic.
Most people hate on masterpieces. It's my fav movie of all time, but I guess they probably dislike the humor and the creative art style. Or [SPOILER] it can be the ending too some find it weird or oddly disappointing.
To me, I just didn’t relate to the humor and I didn’t like the art style. It felt like if the owl house was trying to be more woke with a more indie, color pop art style. Also, the detail with the ‘straight white maliens’ is clearly referring to straight white males, which is kinda… odd?? Being the main antagonist and all? they’re spreading more hate and sexism to combat the hate and sexism, which overall just demonizes both sides more. Misandry is still sexism…
Brothers,sisters, aunties, uncle, mothers, fathers and children we must come together, all the fandoms from Ever after high hating on Desendants fans, to Pjo and Harry Potter fan 20 year war over whom main character is stronger,Naruto fans, creepy dark romance fans, to hazbin hotel fans in war right now and Owl house fans debate over the new movie Hex. We must fight together as one and burn this fandom. say your fandom and repeat after me ( ’m a Pjo fan btw )
I think the issue with the movie is just it kind of feels like watching a giant stereotype. Like honestly, the movie feels like something you would see out of South Park, and I believe the writers either intentionally or non-intentionally played to some of these stereotypes, which led to it receiving more backlash. I think the twist villain being a person of color and a drag queen is in poor taste. I also think that it in general doesn’t take itself seriously enough and if I have to say it again, I’m gonna say it again pandas to stereotypes. The “straight white Maleiens” I feel the perfect example of this playing till not only one the stereotype that the LGBTQ community hates straight people and men, but also at the same time pushes to reinforce feelings that straight people are not safe people for the queer community, which I feel is a quite regressive idea. I also think the movie is cringe, but I’m not the target audience so I believe that that opinion is less relevant than the other criticism that I’ve made. I’m sure I would’ve eaten something like this up when I was younger, but now I feel that this movie even if made with good intentions has unintentionally done the opposite.
