They created literal slavemaster beings. Agates. Literally programmed to be the most awful thing imaginable. They created literal monsters. They had a program template designed specifically to be horrible.
“An Agate Terrifies”
And now that the Gem Wars are over, they have no place in the universe. Being literally created with an obsolete and horrible purpose.
I think that was a major missed opportunity to explore someone like an Agate learning how to heal from something like that. If that’s even possible. The philosophical implications would be really cool.
Steven literally Killed Lars, and its never brought up. He KILLS a teenager, and he becomes Stevens little bubblegum slave and no one cares.
I am genuinely surprised /pol/ and other CHUDS rag on steven universe so much, when it is exactly what they want the left to respond to them.
:le-pol-face:: “Nooo, nazis aren’t evil! We’re just sad and misunderstood! Forgive us hard enough and maybe we’ll consider stopping our genocide on you!”
Should I watch Steven Universe? Is it good?
At a certain point, Rebecca Sugar left and CN literally hired fanfic writers from tumblr to run the show.
This caused a lot of nuance to be lost and the show became a game of “look how nice my favorite character is, they can do no wrong, but this one? oh this one? irredeemable trash”.
Sometimes fans can bring a show back, but in this case its like if you asked southpark fans to write new episodes and were suprised when it got even more racist and bigoted.
But they’re cutie-patooties, so it’s okay. :D
