A friend of mine showed me a random episode (it's like, Steven's friend's mom wants to meet his mom? So the gems have to fuse?) and I quite enjoyed it! I didn't have any expectations and was pleasantly surprised. (I think I had it confused with Gravity Falls or something.)

Also, the fact that another anon showed up to say it's shitty tumblr baiting just made me want to watch it more. WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN? Are there gay people in this show or something? Furries?

*slight spoilers*

One of the characters is a gem fusion of 2 females, and one of the writers said that the 2 females are romantically involved. So yup, there's gay people on the show.

Fandom stuff aside, SU is a neat, cute little show, IMO.

Gay people? In MY subtext of children's entertainment?

*monocle pop!*

(No but seriously, I have a kiddie sci-fi series of books from the mid-90s with gay aliens in it in the same way. Steven Universe sounds like an admirable continuation of a twenty-year tradition.)

I'm glad you liked the episode!

Well, there are like... some characters with different body types and racial backgrounds and like... female characters with actual roles. (And gay people. Kind of. As much as they can get away with on Cartoon Network.) And it's sort of normalized part of the setting instead of being this "Very Special Episode Only" content.

I guess some people see that as "Tumblr pandering". The show creator, when asked about this, said something along the lines of "well that's just how people in the real world are", which... yeah.

Might be the best to watch the show more or less in order, though, since there actually is a continuous bigger plotline going on behind the slice-of-life stuff, and there's usually at least some relevant-again-later details or foreshadowing in most episodes.

The horror, the horror. Truly, all of children's entertainment is going to hell in a handbasket because of such pandering. *eyeroll* Think of the children.

I prefer to watch things in order anyway, so that works just fine for me! Maybe I'll vote for it to come up in Cartoon Night at some point.
