In my opinion cartoons of the 80s were generally garbage because they had insipid brain numbing messages. The older adventure cartoons from the 70s & 60s were better because they were all about the action with no robotic teaching, just entertainment for kids.
This she-ra garbage sounds like the worst ever, just lib messages with no redeeming anything.

Toward the end of the 80s, animation started going downhill.
A few exceptions:
Exo-Squad
Johnny Bravo
Dexter’s Lab
Tiny Toons
Anamaniacs
Pinky And The Brain
Batman / Superman TAS
They need to bring back the original politically incorrect Johnny Quest.
There were some groups in the 80s (not sure if it was Tipper Gore’s PTC or something similar) that got regulations passed with the FCC that kids shows had to have some “educational” content in order to get played during certain time slots, like Saturday mornings.
That’s why you saw some moral or lesson get tacked on to every episode of those shows, because otherwise they couldn’t claim they were following the regulations.
And then there were the CLASSICS from Warner Brothers Looney Tunes etc. Bugs, Daffy, Road Runner and all, capable of entertaining the kids with the action while the dialog kept the interest of the adults. From 1930 to their demise in 1969, we can pull out the DVDs and laugh like kids again.
I'd love to teach a high school physics class using the impossibilities of Wile E Coyote's eternal purchases from Acme (where oh where was Consumers Reports?) Then there was the utterly superlative and sublime Bugs & Elmer Opera Classics; "What's Opera, Doc?" & "The Rabbit of Seville"! Comparison of these to 99.9 ...% of what came after is depressing!
