this absolutely needed to happen

the original

I saw a guy wearing this licensed He-Man “‘SUP LADIES” tank top at the gym the other day, and laughed, but decided that She-Ra would suit that look much better and knew that I had to make it happen.

She-Ra Says Gay Rights

The art is my redraw of a canon publicity shot, so not really original to me. But this needed to happen. It just did. So I did it. Here're the same pictures, just bigger.

I've put the design up on Teespring and ordered two for myself. I think it qualifies as parody but I'm mostly hoping nobody there notices it until I get my tank tops. :D

Oh gosh that is an awesome shirt that you have envisioned. Also I think the first picture is erroneous because it is hilarious to think he-man is actually straight. I remember he-man on the back of a horse, clasping bow's waist

I can see He-Man calling other (read: lesser) men "ladies."

I prefer to think that Gay He-Man is not necessarily misogynist.

It's true, my version does elevate the subtext straight (ha! straight!) up to text. But I think the subtext in the original is so obvious that it's not really an elevation, and therefore, I am not losing all that much in the elevation. （⌒▽⌒）

I like the white background better. It makes the colors stand out better, especially the letters.

The white/black background is transparent, so it would be shirt colour. The white and back are just extremes.

It looks brilliant on purple.

Oh my god, I love it!

I can't wait for my tank top to get here. ♥
