Re: Spoiler warning for season 3

[diet_poison]

I thought with at least some of the Lars and Sadie eps, as an anon pointed out, he's shown to be in the wrong.

It's not so much "he's treated as being right" as "his wrongness doesn't get the weight that it should."

For Steven specifically, The New Lars is the worst offender. He suppresses someone else's consciousness and takes over their body, and it gets laughed off as Wacky Shenanigans, with only minor scolding? Eugh.

Compare that to the guy who hit on Stevonnie. The show treats him as the creepier one, even though when it comes to boundary-violation, Steven's human-puppeting is in a whole other league.

Re: Spoiler warning for season 3

I agree with that. I understand why they played up the humor at the end, but I do agree that for a show given a lot more depth they should have addressed it better.

Of course, part of it is that I found Steven's actions in that ep so fucking cringeworthy that I probably just imagined a level of rebuke that wasn't actually there...seriously I love Steven but man did he fuck up in that one

I think the key is that Steven didn't try to enter Lars' body, he just ended up there, and he did what he thought Lars would have done in that situation, he just happened to be really bad at it.

It's not really fair to judge him for something that he didn't do on purpose, and that he acted entirely in good faith.

...other than going to someone who would understand (probably not his parents, but maybe either Sadie, or the Gems, or Lars in his own body) and explained what happened and tried to figure out how to fix it ASAP?

And even if for some reason that wasn't an option and he HAD to keep it a secret, it's really not appropriate to like, make grand love confessions to someone under the guise of being someone else.

Of course he meant well, and I don't think he's a terrible person (quite the opposite!) but he did really fuck that one up, and I wish he'd been shown to learn from it a little more.

Oh man, The New Lars was awful. I'm only a casual watcher, but that one really made me uncomfortable with just how skeevy it was to have Steven running around in Lars' body and doin gwhatever he wanted, and how there were basically zero consequences for it.

I mean, I may be alone in this, but I also thought that the guy who hit on Stevonnie was... while a bit out of line, he wasn't actually that bad. It was clear that Stevonnie was uncomfortable with being in a sexual situation, but part of that was because Stevonnie went into a sexualized space, and Stevonnie does look physically mature.
To me, the difference is that the Stevonnie thing is probably meant to more clearly reflect a real-world situation, and is giving a very clear real-world message. However, waking up in somebody's body is a violation that most kids won't actually experience, haha. So while I watch it an am horrified, it probably looks way different to kids, and because it's blatantly unreal it can be set aside as "shenanigans".

He did learn from it, at least. When he found out he'd been in Kiki's head, he apologized immediately and profusely.
