Good news alert!
Cartoon Network, the platform which has housed the hit children’s show The Powerpuff Girls since 1994, has introduced an African-American member to the crime-fighting force.
An awesome development below…
AND JUST LIKE THAT, I BECAME A POWERPUFF GIRL ?????
Much love to my @cartoonnetwork for trusting me with this epic job ?❤️️#lifegoals pic.twitter.com/ZshJT8VWR0— ToyaDelazy (@ToyaDelazy) September 7, 2017
The show returns for its next season on September 17th is named ‘Powerpuff Girls: The Power of Four.’ In it, the original girls ( Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup) will meet their new sister as they face new evils and combat fresh challenges.
Her name?
Toya.
Jamie Ondarza, Senior Vice President at Turner Broadcasting in Southern Europe and Africa shared…
Toya is definitely a perfect fit as the fourth Powerpuff Girl. She is confident, bubbly and quirky, all the values that we are familiar with, love and appreciate. We have a lot of surprises up our sleeves.
Fantastic!
wow 😀
I’m all for this….. but they should have picked a name that went with the others. The name Toya does not fit with the others.
Good point. Blossom, buttercup, bubbles, and Toya.
I agree ? I find it funny tho, bc ethnic names do stick out. It’s like pointing out the elephant in the room. Toya is cute tho
AWWWW thats adorable 🙂
I love it!!!
Should’ve named her Shaniqua
Why is that ?
cause she blaque with a green weave
Why couldn’t her name start with a B like the other girls, why does she have to have green hair curly kinky brown hair would do just fine I feel like she looks ghetto she’s a little girl make her look like the normal little black girl
So they added a token for pandering purposes. Not impressed.
Diversity for the sake of “diversity” is disingenuous, tacky and lame. Identity politics and SJW-b******* strikes again. Targeting kids younger and younger.
But it’s racist to welcome a white character in Aladdin ??♂️
Because everything isn’t already white right?
You guys are literally involved in every f****** project under the sun but as soon as it isn’t about you ya wanna get mad
Um no, changing an already ethnic character to a white one in Aladdin is racist. Get your fake wannabe reverse racism facts straight.
They have black love on OWN. Maybe whites should have a tv show called white love on FOX
So they named the character afte Toya Delazy…ThatMessJuice and facts don’t really go well together. I’ll wait to read it somewhere else
Her name is going to be “Bliss”.
Yes for the inclusion and YAS for the hair color and length lol
“Toya,” how cliche. Glad this crap wasn’t on the air when I was a kid.
She looks and feels so out of place. Issa no for me.
Talk about black privilege why couldn’t they have an Indian, Arabic or Chinese girl?
And what is black privilege exactly? Is that the same as whiteface? See how stupid that sounds?
I don’t think this virtue signaled quite hard enough. They should have make her a black transgender Muslim refugee. Check off as many of those boxes you can…
No no no no no.
