the thing i hate about the su fandom is that it seems to be dominated by people who believe the tumblr definition of abuse, and people who embrace bad understandings of mental disorders, so now you can't argue that a character is not a fucking abuser without getting called an apologist because there can't be any nuance allowed
it was already the fucking worst, but stevenbomb introducing jasper took it to a new level. now everyone makes it personal right off the bat too, like i have seen so many people crying about how jasper is just like their abusive ex/mother/podiatrist so people shipping her with peridot/lapis/onion makes them Uncomfortable. newsflash: lots of people have been abused by women and a.) like cartoon villains anyway b.) don't want to bring up our fucking abuse to the whole world to get in a pissing contest with you because you couldn't just ask your friends to tag their problematic fave.
this is the new thing now in fandom, steven universe fandom is just full of it because it's a fandom that got big on the tumblr platform mostly, just like homestuck.
character arguments are so political because every character reminds someone of their abuser so they'll try to say nobody can like them or else you're liking their abuser!!!!1
fandom's gotten worse with people being unable to separate fiction from reality, they literally can't comprehend people liking characters who do bad things because they're bad. even the fucking kids steven universe is aimed at are better at separating fiction from reality than the tumblr fanbase that in their early 20s.
