It’s been forever since I’ve seen digimon but I fucking love Rica from the 3rd (or 2nd?) Season, I was gay for her when I watched it, I love her personality, and her voice actor is the person who does gaz from invader Zim (she uses the exact same voice too it’s great). Pokemon will always be my favorite, but the first couple seasons of digimon? That’s some good shit. (I watched the movie once, but I haven’t seen past season 3 so I can’t comment on those).
Lauren Montgomery said in an interview once that the episode where Allura died in 80s Voltron traumatized her when she watched it as a child because she was a strong female character she could look up to, and then rebooted the show, made a Black Princess for little girls to look up to, and then up and killed her off, fully knowing it would be traumatizing to them. that’s not just carelessness on the writers’ part. that is downright purposefully violent and sadistic.
