All she has is that crappy backstory. #Her fans are just biased but they don't want to admit it #Anyway #Adora has no reason to forgive that catgirl #Catra is trash😚 i'd rather kiss the floor than to rewatch this show

Ememy Vs. Abuser: Catradora

Disclaimer: Netflix doesn't allow me to take screenshots. I tried to find clips on Youtube but a lot of these are stolen. And an obvious tw for abuse.

When Catradora antis bring up how Catra abused Adora in seasons 1-4, a lot of people seem to be confused. The go-to defense is the following:

"Catra and Adora were enemies, they were put against each other in many battles. The 'abuse' is just what you'd normally expect from enemies to lovers".

A complelling argument, for sure. How can you expect of Catra to not be violent with someone who was put against her? The answer to this question can be answered through a different question: Why is Catra the abuser? Why not Adora?

What's the difference between an enemy, and an abuser?

1# The aggressor is particularly cruel to their future partner.

Catra doesn't use her claws on real people very often. She mostly uses them on objects or robots (or Shadow Weather's mask).

At times, it's clear tnat she would gain a lot from using her claws, but she doesn't.

One might suggest that it's because she understands the full weight of using them. Whatever the case may be, there is a person she doesn't seem to have these reservations about: Adora.

2# Their intreractions contain emotional abuse.

Catra often blames Adora for things that aren't her fault. She's cruel to Adora, deliberately and viciously hurts her.

She makes mean spirited remarks and belittles her.

Additionally, Catra gaslit her.

And wouldn't you know it, she takes pride in having control over Adora.

3# There is no balance.

As we previously established, Catra has no problem being needlessly cruel to Adora. But is Catra in the same danger? It it at least mutually toxic?

It's not. Adora can fight and defend herself, but won't do more than she needs. Meanwhile, Catra seem to relish in brutalizing her.

Further more, moments that could be considered romantic build up in their own, "spicy" way, are positioned with Catra on top, where Adora has no choice but to comply, where she's stuck there.

4# The aggressor got in the victim's head.

Adora has a guilt complex. That's not a controversial take. She takes too much responsibility and thinks everything is her fault. A lot of this stems from Shadow Weaver, but there's another source.

And Adora is very quick to internalize her cruel remarks.

In Conclusion:

Catra and Adora's relationship can and was abusive during the war. They share specific patterns of abusive relationships even at war zone. Catra hurting Adora isn't all war stuff, it's personal, it's abusive.

(Also applies to both yuri and hetero ships.)

It's all about the balance. Even if the abused partner is also an asshole, if they are mistreated by their partner without returning 'the favor' to them, that's not 'toxic relationship that is such a shitshow on both sides, that it's entertaining to watch'. It's just abuse that should not under any circumstances be romanticized or downplayed by the show/movie or its fandom, even if it's fictional.

i've seen someone mention this before, and i am here to prove it:

C//A relationship occurred on an existing pattern: adora accidentally says something that makes catra mad -> catra hits/insults her -> catra runs away, expecting adora to chase after her and feeling like she's rejected if that doesn't happen.

simple examples of this fact, at all stages of their lives:

Y'ALL, I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING.

THIS IS IN THE WHISPERING WOODS.

AND SO IS THIS.

WE ALL KNOW DAMN WELL THIS AIN'T INTENTIONAL, BUT IT WOULD SPEAK VOLUMES IF IT WAS.

Man... i really dont like this scene. Like i know its supposed to be this " beautiful" moment, oh adora loved catra even at her worst but like... why?

After everything she did adora is still like i love you.

Like they could have honestly just put portal catra here too, like why not, adora loved her there anyway. She loved her when catra left her to die, she loved her when she was beating her and berating her for everthing, when she tried to kill her friends, when she ruind her friends kingdoms, when she tried to DESTROY the world, when she sent a double agent to destroy her friendships. Like in her vision with s4 catra, everthing around her destroyed and with a smug look on her face. And adoras just like yup i love her.

lol i didn't expect this to be so long. I probably sound angrier/saltier than i really am, im pretty chill yk. But i mean why not, its just for fun.

If you like catradora that fine, i respect it so if this reaches the wrong crowd. Lets just be civil about this.

take a shot everytime i say "like"

It'd be funny how much spop and Helluva boss make the abusers the victims (Stolas, Catra) and then victim blame the victims (Blitzo, Adora) if it wasn't so sad.

Little hestitant about sharing, since I’m not a fan of Catra and Adoras relationship in the show, but I did really like how this playlist turned out! The playlist’s POV I suppose is from them being exes, Catras POV’s are mostly bitter and defensive while those from Adora are focused on healing and moving on (which I do think reflects their dynamic in the show pre season 5). So yeah the list is a mix of melancholy, toxic yuri and healing from past abuse. Please only check it out if that’s something you think you’d enjoy!

My brother contributed again as well haha.

Catra stans: you want complex messed up characters but you couldn't handle Catra!

Also Catra stans: *woobify Catra, hate Glimmer, Double trouble, Shadow weaver, Scorpia and even Adora sometimes. Make characters like Adora or Glimmer look mean so that Catra looks less bad. Praise Catra for the evil things she does and are fine with her character only existing for a ship*

Catradora isn't enemies to lovers, it's abuse to abusive relationship.

So, my youtube sometimes breaks and instead of the intended thumbnail, it shows me a random shot from the actual video. As a result, when I was browsing through SPOP content yesterday, I was unexpectedly blessed by this gem

(This is not a prieview btw, it literally showed me this Glimmadora shot as a thumbnail, instead of the intended one, which, if I remember correctly, is C*tra and Adora touching foreheads.)

Even Youtube knows C///A is not worth looking at and that Glimmadora is superior lmao

[anti-catradora-collection]

you know, adora being the one who always made the promises that she would stay with catra, that she would bring catra home etc. just feels wrong to me.

adora never left catra. as much as this series shows that catra is the abandoner, it loves to tell the opposite and do some victim blaming with adora. that second scene basically tries to tell us that "adora left catra and now is trying to save her back" when the series itself shows that adora never even left catra to begin with. about the promise, it simply was made to make people believe even more about what i said previously: "adora is the abandoner" (just like the first scene).

now, what did catra promise? absolutely nothing. she never even apologized properly for being an abuser and war criminal, why would she promise anything like adora does? it would be so much more meaningful if catra made a promise that, for example, she would change after properly realizing what she did wrong and actually fulfilled that, with a proper development, but that didn't happen.

because of course adora has to apologize for everything and carry this relationship in her back. i mean, it's part of her character to apologize for everything, but what exactly did catra do for adora that wasn't at least toxic? yes, she stayed with adora for once at the end and then proceeded to lie in her own confession, victim blame adora, and insult her as an idiot (thing that adora had internalized).
