You're reading way too much into this. People put pop culture stuff they like on posters for group meetings. It doesn't mean they're uniting under the banner of Steven Universe or that he's the new face of the movement or whatever you're reaching for here.

Honestly, I'd love to have seen your reaction to the Doge posters that were posted everywhere when Doge was still a thing. "I appreciate that memes are a great way to relate to real world issues, but a Shiba Inu is not an appropriate role model for the Intramural Disc-Golf team."

i realize people use pop culture images on posters; my concern in this case is related to the fact that I've seen SU and LGBT issues connected to the point that in some corners of the internet it seems like there's a general consensus that SU is The Queer Show, that I've read student papers using SU as an example of a educational LGBT show, and that a LOT of thinkpieces have come out connecting SU and LGBT issues. Giving that much weight to what is ultimately a children's cartoon does not sit well with me.

DA

How about telling us what's wrong with it, instead of telling us how it makes you feel?

it's also a kids' show where girls flirt and kiss

and there's a dude who thought Steven was hot when he fused into a different physical form (the form was neither a girl or a boy but Steven was still Steven)

Yeah seriously

Like... a popular show aimed at kids where women being into other women, even if they're dorks, is considered normal and okay? That really didn't exist when I was a kid. I literally thought I didn't have the social capital to get away with liking girls because every single scrap of representation was like one cool character. And I don't recall seeing any at all until I was a teenager anyway. Netflix didn't exist, so I couldn't exactly watch But I'm A Cheerleader or anything like that.

You're literally talking about yourself here and it seems like you don't even realize it.

Anyway, just wondering, do you have a problem with queer subtext in kids shows in general, or is this a special occasion? WHERE WERE YOU WHEN SPONGEBOB RULED THE CARTOON WORLD??

If children's shows can say valuable things about pacifism or free will, then why not romantic relationships?
