The recent surge in search interest for “He-Man” can be primarily attributed to the release of the “Masters of the Universe” trailer by Amazon MGM. This revival of a nostalgic franchise has inevitably reignited interest in its characters, leading to increased searches as fans and newcomers alike seek information about the series and its updates.
Additionally, recent commentary from outlets such as The Daily Beast and Out Magazine has highlighted a backlash involving the character’s pronouns. These articles discuss how certain groups are reacting negatively to the modern portrayal of He-Man and associated discussions about gender representation. This controversy has sparked widespread media attention, encouraging individuals to search for more information on the issue and its implications.
The combination of the trailer release and the surrounding discussion regarding pronouns has created a perfect storm of interest, prompting over 20,000 searches as audiences seek to understand both the new content and the socio-political conversations it has generated.

NTJ. You did not choose your dog over your relationship — he chose lying and money over your relationship. Big difference.
S
And the thing that really made it click for me was realizing how calmly he lied about it. When that guy showed up at our door asking where his puppy was, my bf didn’t look confused, didn’t act shocked he immediately started talking about refunds and terminating the litter. That means this wasn’t a misunderstanding. This was planned. He made arrangements, took money, and then stood there lying straight to my face like it was nothing.
W
You do not want to be with a liar, who abuses animals. Please leave him
E
Yes, this is animal abuse! He bred a dog he doesn’t own with some random man’s German shepherd (who knows what genetic defects he has.) He didn’t tell OP she was even pregnant. What was he going to say when she started popping out puppies? What was he going to say if she, god forbid, died due to pregnancy complications? This was wildly out of his rights to do to another living being, let alone one that belongs to someone else
H
This goes way beyond poor judgment it’s straight-up animal abuse and a massive violation of trust. He had zero right to make breeding decisions for a dog he doesn’t own, with no concern for her health, safety, or genetics. The fact he hid the pregnancy just makes it worse. Best case, he planned to lie later; worst case, he didn’t care at all about the risks to her life. That level of recklessness with a living being is terrifying.
E
Well see, that’s just it, he doesn’t see the dog as a living being, he saw her as a way to make money. She was just a puppy mill to him. And we’re supposed to believe he doesn’t see OP in the exact same way? He researched dog breeders in the area, set up a meeting, stole OPs dog for an amount of time, hung out?? with random guy?? while dogs were locked up somewhere to do the deed, brought her home, and calmly told OP ‘work was fine today’ when she got home and asked how his day was. And when caught with money in hand, he told her to stop looking with her own damn eyes and just believe what he’s telling her instead. He’s a fucking psycho.
F
Agreed, this was planned out and your boyfriend took a malicious intent for money behind your back. He doesn’t have to support safe spaying, but he doesn’t because he wants to run a puppy mill.
D
I can’t imagine this same attitude would apply to humans as well. If he sees fit to impregnate someone without perhaps considering discussing it first.
O
He assumed she wouldn’t know until it was far in to the pregnancy. He assumed she would go along to “keep the peace” and he would “fix” the problem by selling the puppies.
A
I’m got a mixed breed, 55% German Shepard. She has one of the SOD1A markers for dog ALS. One shouldn’t cause disease. I suspect she has one parent who was a purebred German Shepard, a breed at higher risk for dog ALS. If you breed two carriers without genetic testing you have a very high risk of puppies likely to suffer with ALS. My only point is that I agree with you, this type of irresponsible breeding is unethical, immoral, and in this case animal abuse.
I
I didnt learn my girl had the gene until she had been diagnosed with Degenerative Meyolopothy. Broke my heart.
W
Lying alone is a dealbreaker, but abusing animals is a massive red flag that goes way deeper. That’s not something one fix or overlook. It’s a warning sign. Leaving isn’t overreacting, it’s protecting yourself.
H
Lying already destroys trust, but animal abuse shows a complete lack of empathy and respect for life. That’s not a flaw you work through it’s a serious warning sign. Walking away isn’t dramatic, it’s self-preservation.
S
Protecting herself and her dog!
B
I agree with this wholeheartedly! If he can lie with ease and deny he did anything after being caught red handed then you need to cut your loses and run…
A
If he lies that easy, and is sneaky about. Throw him out.
W
Always choose the dog. And always choose yourself.
B
The dog will always be loyal! Same can’t be said about the partner!
W
Exactly. Dogs are innocent, give unconditional love, and will always be there for you.
B
Absolutely! No purer love or loyalty than what is sleeping and softly snoring on the sofa , right beside me! 💘💘
S
He took money without including you in this at all, which just meant he was going to profit off of your effort and risking your dog’s health. Absolutely untrustworthy behavior.
I
He purposely got your dog pregnant, while you were out, to sell the puppies and make money off her. It’s disgusting and unconscionable. I can imagine he would lie and be capable of anything. I would 100% dump him.
M
If he’s willing to do this for money, I’d seriously question what else he’d lie about. That kind of behavior doesn’t come out of nowhere. Definitely red flag.
S
He would probably tamper with the birth control when he decides it’s time for OP to give birth to his children. Yuck!
P
Op- you should be seeing a lot of these by now 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 Run while you can. Everyday you are with this fuck stick, you deny yourself the chance to be with who you deserve to be with
R
This applies to Mama as well, BTW.
B
Imagine what else he could lie casually about 🚩🚩🚩 Always choose the dog. They never lie and exploit you. He had already taken money based on *your resource*: your dog. He was / is stealing from you.
C
This should be higher. Who was going to cover the vet bills for this dog? Who was going to take care of her after the puppies were born? He is stealing from you.
B
He was going to gaslight her into thinking she’d been careless and let her dog get pregnant, leaving her with the burden of vet bills and caretaking during delivery and after. When all the puppies emerged “miraculously” as full German Shepard, he’d claim ignorance. This guy is trash.
Q
That calm tells you everything, this wasn’t a mistake, it was deliberate. Trust your gut on that.
A
And ignore your mother. Being with someone you can’t trust is 1000% worse than having to wait to find the right person. And I’m sure you’ll find them. Having a solid moral compass is so important. Hopefully your mother will soon realise that this is much more important than anything to do with age.
S
Your happiness is way way more important than her having grand kids. Do what’s right for you. Dump the lying manipulative full of crap bf. Not all of us men are like him, and there’s are plenty of us nice guys to find. Sometimes finding the right person for you, does involve heartbreak and tears, but you will know when you have found one of us nice guys.
E
Is mom going to support you and any kid(s) you would have with this lying AH? Because this is never going to last a lifetime-if he lies about this what else will he lie about? Does she want grandchildren that are 50% his lying, animal abusing DNA?
C
This, can you trust him with your kids?
C
It takes much longer to divorce than to break up.
J
I was with someone for 10 years and it took me until the 8th to realize he was a pathological liar and I didn’t realize because of how “honest” he had been with me and how easily he lied. This is one lie you caught, you don’t know how many more there are ): (Additional two years with him was 1 trying to make things work and find out where the disconnect was, 2nd was spent separated and then divorced)
I
He put your dog through that for money. And didn’t even tell you. I’d ditch that fucker so fast.
E
Consider that with any pregnancy in nature, there are risks. Shit happens. I know one person who bred their dog in a money making scheme but it all got messed up when the dog had issues during birth and need emergency surgery. All that money that they were hoping to make from the sale of the puppies went to the vet bill. Also, I know one person who (again) was using their dog is a breeding money making scheme, the dog gave birth. All the puppies were sold except for 1 male dog because they were hoping to use him for breeding purposes, too! Unfortunately, having a fertile female and a fertile male meant that the son fucked his own mom, she got preggers, and gave birth to a whole litter of either dead puppies or puppies that were severely messed up which died soon after. He was using YOUR dog behind your back to make money for himself without any regard to your dog’s well-being. Screw that guy. NTJ.
H
You would be crazy not to break up with him. Major breach of trust. You need friends, not assholes.
C
Your ex is a huge piece of shit. This is a hill I will die on. If you are taking pills, you better make sure he didn’t microwave it and get you pregnant. I feel so bad for your girl and you.
D
Don’t listen to your mom. She prob just wants grandkids like yesterday? It’s not too late to start over with someone else. It IS too late to have kids with this dude. Imagine, if he calmly lied to your face about your dog, what he might lie about when it comes to your potential children. Not the jerk, actually the right call to get rid of this guy. Congrats on respecting yourself, your dog, and your boundaries.
T
What else has he done that you don’t know about I’d be doing a lot of research on the BF to make sure you don’t get screwed
F
If you don’t spay a female dog they can get pyometra that is deadly if they’re not spayed. Not every female dog will get that, spaying is best. Your BF sucks is manipulative and a liar. He only cared about money and treated you poorly because his lies were uncovered. He’s not a good person, that was a calculated decision. I hope you end things and find a better partner.
W
It also means that he spent time seeking out a person who wanted to breed his dog. Then figured out a date and time that you would not be around for long enough, and scheduled a meeting with this guy. Then he took your dog to this meeting and put your dog in… somewhere… with this random guy’s random dog and waited for them to have intercourse. Then took your dog home. And never said a word about any of it to you. ETA: And if this guy just showed up to collect his pup, it means he did this months ago (dog gestation is about 9 weeks and you aren’t supposed to take a puppy from its mother for 8 weeks). So that’s a really long time to have kept this from you.
T
Imagine how he will gaslight you if/when you get pregnant. He is not trustworthy. Leave him.
D
That should be a big hint on how your life will be like with him in the future.
S
Think about what else he might lie in the future. Ick
O
Have you thought about the process of getting your dog pregnant? That requires a lot of planning.
K
Oh my yeah get as far away as fast as possible!! This is not a good person.
S
Then you know exactly what to do. He could probably lie to you about so many other things too. He’s not trustworthy. That’s important in relationships and marriage.
